After leaving the interrogation room it went directly to the lab. they have already prepared for the procedure.
When I entered the lab I was greeted by a friendly Andrinener, that introduced himself as the leading doctor for the biological part named Filian.
He explained to me what they were going to do today. today is mainly about making the body more adaptable and compatible with the upgrades I get later. for example, they will teach my immune system to not attack Metal objects, that are going to be my cybernetic parts.
that was one of the simpler things. they also explained the next things, but After searching for the third thing in the second sentence, Echo notified me that he is going to vibrate my phone when there is going to be problems.
since I trust Echo, I stopped cross checking on the internet.
While discussing we also talked about if I am still human at the end. We came to the conclusion, that because of the Grogus group, my internals have already been turned upside down. With that we chose that, at least I should look from the outside like a human.
He also mentioned that when we are finished and I learned how to use my body to the fullest, that I could shapeshift to the absolute extreme. I mean like I could turn into a slime or with enough energy I could be a giant sun. the looks would only matter during the process or while learning.
We have talked for 4 hours.
Now the procedure started. there are 12 Andrinener, the hole room is like a surgical room on earth. when the process started the first pushed one of his hand one of my access holes. then the second then the third. until 10 of them had all 4 hands inside my access holes. the last 2 were busy bringing and collecting tools.
they are really fast and efficient. It felt like they were doing a slushy inside me.
they are so good that even while I was awake and had all my touch sense. I didn't feel pain.
even while they were fast, there still was a lot they had to do. I have even started sleeping and woke up the next day without them being finished. Echo didn't warn me after my sleep. they are probably waiting until I loose my guard, to place the controlling device inside.
"Now that the base is is prepared we can add the first upgrades. the first thing would be these little things."
He showed me a animation of a worm. the front and the back is really pointy. the worm can open his ends to grab things. like the grabbers of Dr. Octavius. but the outside of them are red slimy and have a biological skin.
"what you are seeing is a half biological and half mechanical animal. they have a length between 0.2m to 20m. they are very close to having a conscious.
We have discovered that if you are lucky someone can be chosen as his host. If they reject someone they will rebel. but if one of them accepts you as his host, you will be able to connect your souls.
this will result in being able to think more complex things or think about 2 things at the same time. Also because their conscious has not developed completely your soul will completely dominate them. with other words you become smarter and since they will then be living in your body you can control it like a third arm. and because they can enter and leave using the access holes they won't damage your body."
"and side effects?"
"the problem is with them that they are very picky. officially there are only 10000 hosts.
Also like everything living they need energy. but with your blood you can easily support one without external support. It will even solve your problem with the overproduction of blood."
"If they are so picky, why would you think one of them will choose me?"
"first up, you are the chosen one. they will definitely like you.
secondly, we brought a lot, so you will have a lot of chances.
and lastly, we could at least try. the advantages are high."
"so how do we find which one has chosen me?"
" we will send you in their cage. they won't hurt you. the ones that rebel will crawl away from you and the one that chooses you will jump on you and enter through one of your access holes.
the merging will start directly. your body has already been prepared for it."
I opened my phone and asked if it were possible that they could control me with them.
After Echo denied my paranoia, we went to their cage.
The entrance has 2 doors.
I went in alone. Inside its like a snake jungle. there are hundreds of them.
They didn't notice my presence. so I walked around. None have jumped on me.
so I chose a random one and went to it. I chose a 1m long one.
should I touch them?
I shouldn't be aggressive. so I thought I could pet it.
I slowly reached my hand forward and stroked his back.
the head of him slowly moved looking at my head. they don't have eyes. but he still knows my location.
While going to the second stroke I noticed the heads of every other moved to me.
This is the critical moment. who is going to choose me. will there be even one that chooses me?
I don't know how to react so I made the third stroke on the one in front of me.
half way through my stroke, the one in front of me moved really fast. He chose to enter through my palm.
While I saw him wiggling inside I felt something on my neck. there was a second one that chose me. when I tried looking back to see which one chose me. I noticed the impossible.
every single one of them rushed to me. I felt one on my left hip then the right thigh. then the next one. until every access hole had one. but it didn't stop there, the holes where there are only small ones multiple are entering at once. My body defies the laws of volume and suck's them all up.
