Chapter 2 - R&D

After the talk with my father, Mother brought me to a big room with red curtains and gold trim. The chandeliers as gold the bed-fame was gold everything was gold nothing bellow par. The windows had the most amazing views I had ever seen even with the new found memories I have

"John"

"Yes mother"

"This is your room now. I am just down the hall take the second right that's my room. your father is out the door then right then straight through the double doors "

While I was thinking of things to do with the stuff rolling around my head I replied

" thanks mom "

*slam

The sound of the door closing brought me out of my stupor

'In my current situation I can't do anything my body is way to under developed to move my bones are like gelatin maybe I could ask father for some teachers yes that will work. Now how do I contact him'

"FATHER!!!"

"FATHER!!!"

My voice echoed in my room like it would in some great cathedral

Then I hear the sound of a nice old man. A voice gentle yet authoritative

"young john do you need something?"

before responding I try and recall in my memories if I had ever seen him before but I couldn't so I asked

" who are you how did you get in here"

The man responded saying

"My name is Neil. As for how I got in her I came through the servants door because I am now your butler assigned to you by the head of the family your father"

'Thinking of how I can best use " Neil" I ask

" can you get me the best teachers for the most advanced and up too date science,technology

Biology and anything that is politically relative to the family"

Neils eyes rolled to the back of his head for a while then his blue eyes were ween again as he said

"Yes I just contacted your father and he said to get you whatever you need at the highest importance "

After hearing the news I couldn't help but think

'Good good'

Then I say

"How soon will they arrive "

Neil responds with

"The teachers will be here within the week and the information about the family's political stability is here … now "

*Ding

After Neil said that I heard something then multiple holographic images and news articles before me

* the Washington family has recently come under scrutiny for having an overbearing monopoly on mostly everything in the empire which leaves no room for anyone els to improve *

* Emperor Augustus has recently started to talk to the public about his new proposal for the banning of monopoly's*

" Neil how is the public's opinion of the family"

" because of the ungrateful shitty power hungry emperor he has been staging the Washington name through the dirt for that last couple of years. As a result Augustus has made the Washington family public enemy number 1"

" why did the empire start to rebel ? We made them "

" I don't know. After a millennia they have finally grown some balls I suppose"

" that might be the case but why haven't we taken him out "

" The rebellion came out of no where all our spies in the different houses said nothing was going on so now we think either they had been compromised or the other family's kept this so far beneath the table that our spies couldn't hear anything about it"

' we'll this is why father has chosen to use the machine. He believes that this is the beginning of our down fall'

" Ok Neil that's all for now, thank you for your help"

" any time"

As Neil leaves through the same door he had come i and out of many times already the only sound that was audible was the sound of the door creaking closed as he walked away

' shit '

" I have a week before the professors come what am I going to do in that time. I can't just sit here idle. But I can't really go anywhere either. "

As I look out the the huge window that looks like a portal into another realm it's so huge and the fact of the view. The view from atop the massive hive city that the family has built and resided in for generations.

It looked very mechanical like everything was in a sort of orderly chaos.

" I have decided why I am to do"

" I'm gonna do a
