As on schedule, Rex's alarm woke him up at 5 in the morning. the morning routine shower, eat breakfast and revise his experiments.
While Rex was eating his breakfast, bacon, fried eggs, bone soup, and a fruit salad as dessert he was thinking of giving some new adjustments to the machine and he must find his guinea pig.
'Don't be reckless Rex hunting them will expose us right now.' stroking his chin, the AI calculated the possibilities for his deep thought face, with a soft voice "master, there are many options to choose but why don't you watch the latest news? might be inspiring."
"You've read my mind, Alice, play the news" leaning backward on his comfy chair. Alice turned on the tv and played the news. a channel was airing a documentary about illegal immigrants and their slums. He grinned, "prepare my next destination Alice"
Later that day after finishing the last updates to the machine inside his underground lab, Rex wrote on the tab first trial, target audience and after a time the AI gave him some qualifications needed of the target, uneducated, healthy, slim, and of medium height.
He headed to the bedroom to change his clothing, he have the best plan to proceed. a few minutes later, he wore regular casual wear, jeans, black shoes, black hoodie it was cold outside for a thin shirt and too hot for a sweater, a dark-colored hoodie will do perfectly. But before he exits the house, he wore a headpiece with black glasses.
AI lucy drove him off to the estimated area, an old rustic slum where no one lives there anymore. It was dark outside, before he opened the door Alice activated the equipment. the device works as a face and voice changer and the gloves are for hygienic purposes to stay on the safe side so no fingerprints would be detected.
He took out with him food containers and walked over the bay, setting bait for his prey. he placed them on the old concrete floor and then returned to the car to wait if anyone would approach the food which somebody did. the person who dug up the food finishing the small meal suddenly collapsed. AI Alice immediately notified Rex and a robot went out and brought in the car the unconscious man, he was estimated to be 25 years by the looks. "Let us go home and start the trial".
It did not take much time from driving back and fetching the man in the underground lab. Alice took care of everything even the man was washed and ready to be tested. Rex gave Alice the green light, electrodes were scattered over his vital organs, face, and pulses with a VR helmet sort of thing over his head covering the eyes. with all set and done, the machine notified that all is ready. Rex showed no emotion and nodded for Alice to proceed. Things went smoothly, no stress over the test subject001, the big screen was showing the new reality platform and how the 001 is reacting. 001 reality was semi-controlled by him, he was the king of his country, with lavish housing, clothes, and food. he was enjoying the 'dream' very well that showed signs over his body. Rex was pleased so far it was going well so far. Alice was saving and processing all data.
Rex ordered Alice to take control over the 'Dream' and cause issues, he had a theory in mind. Alice then caused food poisoning to 001 inside 'Dream' and fabricated a plot of the assassination of the king 001, the results were astonishing what the test subject felt was visible over his body.
Again Rex nodded and wrote down notes on the tab. "Let us see if he dies what happens?" Alice proceeds with the successful assassination of 001, in the 'Dream' reality he is dead, while in the real world he was still alive. "Not much of a disappointment" Rex walks over the nude body of 001. The vital organ machines peeped notifying the decline of Brain activity to zero.
Rex was astonished, "repeat the scans" he ordered. Alice repeated and deepened the scans "null" she said. Holding his face with his right hand and crossing his left over the right arm, "He is brain dead, no consciousness is left in the machine. Good. Inject him with the nanomites and dispose of the body"
"Liquid master?" Alice asked and he replied, "yes liquid, we don't need the bodies of our tests."
"Yes master" a clear liquid-filled syringe was inserted into the vein of 001, then robotic hands grasped 001 body and placed him in the bathtub of the lab, "Activated," she said. few minutes and the body of 001 bloated, changing colors to that of a corpse. Rex was sitting on his chair crossed legs staring with big bright eyes sparkling with fire how the body in front of him is being decomposed and turning into a black liquid. Alice then turned hot water after the liquid was drained.
"Phase one completed." Alice reported, "Successfully must I say, I lost my appetite, I want to sleep. You search for me test 002 candidates, we must proceed with phase two of 'Project Dream' our time is precious and we can't predict the future. P must get my revenge on them as soon as possible." He explained while removing all of his clothing and throwing them on his chair.
Then headed towards his room to rake a shower and get some sleep. It was a very fruitful and successful day for him that needed a celebration 'I must celebrate with Alice after all planned phases are complete as now would be too early for it'
A few minutes later, he was trying to sleep but flashbacks caused him trouble relaxing. "Alice the pills please" laying on his back, closed his eyes, "here master," said Alice as it placed the pills and water bottle on the side table near his bed.
He took them as he adjusted his position semi-sitting one, "play some anime to watch" she did as ordered. It wasn't much longer and Rex was sleeping soundly with a happy smile drawn over his lips.
