"EUREKA! The Specimen i-i-is ALIVE! Observe the CELLULAR REGENERATION!"
I SEE IT! THE CELL DIVISION IS INTENSIFIES! THAT’S UNLIKE ANYTHING I’VE EVER WITNESSED
Indeed, my boy! The cellular division is increasing at an exponential rate, much faster than anticipated! The implications are endless!
WHAT ABOUT THIS… Ethics? It seems that’s been forgotten in our research of such a subject. Could there be another consequence from this treatment?
Ethics? Ha! We're on the verge of breaking down the very fabric of life itself! We cannot let ethics hold us back! The reward is too great!
Of course you’re right sir.. I suppose i’m just thinking about all the things we could do with something like this. Imagine it; No pain, no suffering. A world where disease and aging is only a memory. Of course it must come with some side effects.
Side effects? Nonsense! What small drawbacks could possibly compare to the gift of eternal life?! There is nothing more important than this discovery, and nothing will stop us from achieving it!
Ah yes, of course. In my line of work I see so many things go wrong, if just one person could achieve eternal life or never get sick, then maybe my work isn’t useless.
That's the spirit, my boy! Now let's continue the experiment and push the boundaries of what is possible!
How exactly do you plan to do that sir? I think I know the next step, but it’s unorthodox.
Unorthodox? Excellent! We need to push the envelope and explore every avenue! Tell me your plan, my boy!
If I may sir, how about we try using…. human test subjects?
Human test subjects? Brilliant! Why didn't I think of that? Let's proceed with the experiment immediately!
When shall I prepare the subjects sir? Also, shall I inform the higher ups about this discovery? Or keep it hush-hush for now?
Keep it hush-hush for now, my boy. We wouldn't want anyone interfering with our work, especially those bureaucratic fools.
Understood sir. I’ll inform the lab staff to prepare to run the tests while you create a new syringe of the serum.
Excellent! Now let's get to work, my boy. We have a world to change! gets to work preparing a new syringe of the serum
As you say sir. leaves lab to get samples for testing I should warn the others to watch their step around these subjects. Wouldn’t want any accidents with the test subjects. Or God forbid, the subjects escaping.
You're absolutely right, my boy! These subjects are dangerous, unpredictable creatures! Make sure all the necessary precautions are taken!
Of course sir. One last question though, how do you plan to keep the subjects contained? They’re highly intelligent and even slightly hostile.
Don't you worry about that, my boy. I've already devised a special containment facility for these creatures.
Oh wonderful news sir! Then let’s get these subjects locked down before any mishaps happen. My, wouldn’t that be quite the calamity… And would certainly raise suspicion among higher ups.
Yes, indeed, my boy. Now, let's get these subjects contained before anything goes awry. We can't afford any unwanted attention.
Of course, sir. Fleming leaves the room to make sure everything is prepared I’ll inform you once the subjects are contained.
Good, good! Do keep me updated, my boy. We must ensure that this experiment is a success, at all costs!
Indeed sir. I’ll inform you once they are secured. Leaves the lab and heads to the first test subject It’s gonna be one hell of a ride for all of us… especially them.
prepares the syringe of serum Yes, indeed, my boy. This experiment holds immense promise, and I won't let anything stand in its way.
Shall I start giving the test subjects the serum, sir? Or would you like to do that personally?
No, my boy. I will personally administer the serum to these subjects. This is a momentous occasion, and I must be the one to oversee it.
Understood sir, but please be careful. They tend to lash out if they feel threatened, or if their senses are tampered with.
Ha! Threatened, you say? Ha! These creatures will be tamed by the might of science! Watch closely, my boy!
Ahh, I see. In that case, shall I begin containing the other subjects then? The longer we take, the more chance of escape or attack.
Yes, do that, my boy. Secure the other subjects and make sure they can't cause any trouble. I'll handle this one personally.
Understood, sir. makes way back to the lab to secure the other subjects Just… try not to agitate them. Let’s hope they remain calm.
administers the serum to the first subject Oh, what a glorious sight! The serum is flowing into the creature's veins... and... it's working!
Oh! That worked quickly! Is that normal, sir?
Yes, my boy, yes! This is better than I expected! It seems the serum is working faster than anticipated! Now, let's observe the results!
Looks at subject carefully It seems to be working indeed. I’m interested to see what will happen. Do you think it’ll work as intended? Give them immortality?
grinning excitedly Immortality, my boy! Yes, that's precisely what we've achieved! These creatures shall live forever!
Woah. Just like that? Well, isn’t that peachy. Though they did mention something about “shortened lifespan” among immortals before… Still, it’s definitely good news for us. Let’s see what else happens next.
observing the subject closely Oh, look! The subject is beginning to transform! Its body is changing, becoming more powerful and robust!
Huh, impressive. Like, bone growth? That sounds like it could help us somewhere down the line. Let’s see if they retain their sanity. Also, is that supposed to be a glowing aura?
watching with wide eyes Yes, yes! It is indeed a glowing aura, my boy! This is fantastic! The subject is evolving before our very eyes!
I suppose it would be best if they don’t become insane, or worse. Shouldn’t it be done transforming soon? Then we can start testing proper.
observing the subject intently Patience, my boy. The transformation takes time. But soon, soon we will have our answers.
