Discovery Requires Experim- [GUNSHOT]

Chapter 6

Watching the soldier lay unconscious on the metal board made his heart flutter – he was going to carry out a fully experimental procedure on him. He first analysed the captain’s brain activity and life functions from the observatory room through a glass window that separates the room from the operating room.

A doctor approached him with a black paper-type folder presented to him. He got hold of the folder and opened it to reveal several old and new health evaluations and reports of Steve Rogers. He skimmed through every sheet of data, learning the soldier’s anatomy in detail, along with the effects provided by the serum.

From what he just mastered, Whitehall deduced that Captain America had astonishing survivability, even if surgery was performed on him without any anaesthetic or the removal of some vital organs such as kidneys, the liver, pancreas and skin; he would still live unless the heart was removed.

That deduction alone was good enough to continue the operation, by starting with the extraction of one of the captain’s kidneys. He didn’t care if his conclusion proved him wrong during the procedure, he just wanted to get his hands on every serum-enhanced biological structure of the soldier in the name of discovery. Even if the soldier died during the surgery, it doesn’t matter since it would be more convenient to take out his organs. Whitehall only kept him alive because he preferred fresh and functional organs although both results would still grant his wishes. He was one step closer to be the most powerful human being in the world. All that’s left was to harvest, experiment and triumph.

He reached out to the microphone in front of him that connects to the operating room and brought it closer to his mouth. The HYDRA scientist announced that he would begin the surgery in thirty minutes and requested the other surgeons to keep the super-soldier sedated for half an hour. They nodded and immediately inject another dose of sedative, enough to put him under for a short period.

A few hours more and he would unlock the secret to his immortality and soon gain new gifts. Maybe Captain America had its own uses to HYDRA after all. He might have to buy a poster of the soldier to remember his act of service. Besides, a major discovery does require experimentation.
