The butlers led the prisoners to the 'dungeons' while those injured were taken to the medical wing. This included the three boys as well as Alvin and Shiru. She had been dragged into a truck by Alex who, for some reason, had become obsessed with her for no reason. Still, Mwas was still alive and that's what mattered.
Bright lights and *robots were what greeted them as they were ushered into the medical wing of the main house. This shocked both Shiru and Kim who were, out of the four, the only ones still conscious. To them, it was a sight out of their wildest dreams. Every part of the wing screamed cleanliness and medicine and yet it felt futuristic and dangerous. The robots had human-like features with a face arms and legs. However the stark difference was that their entire bodies were covered by a clear material that made you see their metallic 'insides' hard at work. It was quite the sight in of itself. So much so that Shiru unconsciously stretched out her hand to touch one of the robots which was close to her.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," came a voice from behind her. She flinched and pulled her hand back. She turned and saw Albert standing there looking at her hard. " Treat them all," he said in a commanding tone. "Sir", a robot replied meekly, bowing its head a little. Albert merely grunted a reply and stood there still.
Thia and Mwas, who were still unconscious, were the ones treated first. Two robots came and stood beside their respective beds and shone blue lights all over their bodies. " What's the diagnosis"? Albert asked matter-of-factly. " Both have deep internal injuries and one is missing an arm but the nanos can work on them and fix everything Sir, " one of the robots said meekly. " Alright treat them using the nanos", he said, again in a commanding tone.
One of the few things that had been kept and protected from the old world was Nano-technology. This was technology created in the size of an atom and put injected into the human body. Back then, it revolutionized the medical field. It was so advanced that doctors were not needed unless it was an extreme case and the nano machines no longer worked. However, it also came with a hazardous consequence when a computer virus rendered them able to take over the human mind causing half of the world population to become zombies. This ultimately became one of the major factors in the creation of a post apocalyptic world. Humanity did find a cure for it but it was a tad too late. The nanos that were in use in the new dangerous and dry world were re-fixed and refitted with an anti virus that makes sure they remain true to their purpose, treatment. This led to creation of voice command, meaning that the nanos can treat or not someone as long as a human, to him they recognize as their leader, orders them to.
This was the case with the treatment of the four. Thia was the first to be injected with nano machines. Then Mwas and lastly Shiru. For Kim, it was a totally different story. No matter how hard the robot tried to inject him with the nanos, it never seemed to pierce the skin. It was as if his skin was metallic and bent all the needles out of shape. Albert, who really didn't want to be here, went up to the robot yanked the sixth syringe and tried to stab it into Kim's right arm. The needle shattered to pieces and, if it wasn't for his quick thinking, the nanos would have spilled and disappeared.
Exasperated, Albert gave back the remaining part of the syringe and glared at Kim, who didn't know the reason why his body was refusing, glared back at him in defiance. 'You'll be paying for this' he thought. Loudly he said," Begin treatment." The robots stepped back away from the four beds as if they were avoiding something. A soft moan was the start. Albert walked out. Unable to move, Kim could only try and look at them as they let out ear splitting screams one after the other. The three convulsed and their bodies twisted and turned in ways not humanly possible.
Thia opened his eyes as he screamed. He looked around for a familiar face and, it wasn't until his body twisted in a way that resembled a pretzel did he finally see Kim. He tried to smile but instead screamed. " What are you doing to them"!? Kim shouted. "Treating them accordingly," a robot answered meekly. He was about to ask a question when he saw something incredible. Mwas' arm had regrown itself, complete with fingers and nails in all the right places. Shiru's wound was closed and re-alined while Thia's wounded leg healed. This made him too stunned to speak. Albert smirked, 'These naïve fools' he thought,' You will pay for them soon'. Inside, everyone was in a state of awkward admiration of the nanos.
At least for now.
