Copper 9 was once a vibrant human world. One of many colonies that humanity had spread itself to. Unbeknownst to the majority of its residents, an unimaginable threat was among them. Both the catalysts and their salvation lay beneath the surface, in the facilities of Cabin Fever Labs.
“Alright, if you need anything, you let me know, okay? Try to take it easy.”
2 figures in hazard suits exited a room in the medical ward of their facility. Sitting next to the door were two sentinel bots. This particular room was being heavily guarded. A sign above the door said “Ward A-1: Priority Patient, authorized medical staff only” Underneath it was another sign that said:
“Seriously, the savior has no time for the unworthy.”
The two figures walked away from the medical ward, chatting amongst themselves.
“The first surgery was successful. We managed to completely mechanize her internal organs.”
“I still think we should have replaced the limbs on this cycle. We’re running low on time.”
The shorter figure looked over at the taller one. They’d probably be looking crossly at them if their face could be seen. “Sure, if you want to bring the success rate all the way down to 10 percent. Then you can explain to the doctor where you’re going to find another subject with an I.Q. of 200.”
“Yeah… well…”
“Besides, that’s no way to treat the savior. Show some respect to her.”
The taller figure sighed. “Sorry Dr.Zetner. It’s just that I’ve got drone duty again. With her.”
“Oh, subject 002?”
“Yes, that one.”
“My condolences.”
Drone holding Facility, Cabin Fever Labs
Drone holding Facility, Cabin Fever Labs
Only a few of the solver drones were actually allowed to be active at any given time. Not all of them were stable and there was no way to realistically control them all. Granted, one of the ones that was constantly active wasn’t the most stable. But 002 made it clear that as long as they didn’t try to stuff her into a locker then she’d be fine with keeping her here. Sort of.
When the employee went to the holding area where Nori was supposed to be, he found 048 instead. He put his hands on his hips, raising his voice to the other drone.
“Where is 002?”
048 Sheepishly smiled at the man.
A break room in the facility.
The employee found Nori just chatting it up with a bunch of humans. Who were probably terrified underneath their hazard suits.
”So Doctor Zetner was all like ”you can’t just bite an intern!” And the whimp was yelling a few feet away. Honestly I didn’t even bite him that hard. He still had his finger fater I… oh hi Yeva!”
She raised her hand in greeting the drone, who had led the employee right to her. Yeva didn’t say a word: that went to the employee.
“002, you aren’t supposed to be here.”
Nori stood up straight, tilting her head. She looked around. ”Really? Cause it doesn’t look like security’s coming to drag me away. Not like they did when I tried to break into the medical ward.”
Nori turned and looked at the two guys she was talking with, grinning. ”Besides, me and the boys are having fun chatting, aren’t we?”
“Oh yes!”
“Fun chatting!”
Both of them nodded her heads frantically, causing Nori to snicker. She turned when the Employee let out a sigh. She looked at him, curiously tilting her head.
”Say Doctor Rhino…
“Reinhard”
Nori waved a hand dismissively. ”Potato Patatever. Isn’t the savior out of surgery?”
“You aren’t getting access to her. You aren’t going to be within a hundred feet within each other until…
”Yeah yeah, ”Until the day of ascension comes and humanity evolves!”. Save Dr.Chamber’s sermons for someone who believes.”
Nori moved forward to Reinhard, Yeva stepped forward just enough to make it clear to Nori not to get too close. She stopped, looking a little annoyed.
”Yeva, do you really think I’m going to hurt him? I didn’t even try that hard to fight when they sent security onto me.”
She turned her attention over to the doctor. ”Look, you’re putting my solver into this human. I want to meet the girl. Don’t I have a right to know who you’re infecting?”
“We’re not infecting…”
”You are. You just are calling it an ascension.” Nori’s voice turned cold as ice. Yeva glared at the other drone. The air was tense for a few seconds. Then Nori let out a sigh.
”Seriously, what’s the worse that can happen? I mean you all are acting like my presence will break the fabric of spacetime and cause a paradox or something.”
Nori had no idea how true those words were about to ring.
