The Extinction Era

1-8

It's been five years since Bella joined the research team with the latest advanced laboratory, led by Jimmy. Through her own efforts and hard work, Bella was able to become Jimmy's assistant. The main goal of the research team is to study and find a cure for plague virus. Today, world leaders have become increasingly secretive, they're roaming the desolate lands. Laboratory members communicate with leaders through top-secret technology to discuss their research results, successes, and future plans. If one of the laboratories was captured by mutants or hybrids, they had the technology to destroy themselves and blow up everything completely. If someone was caught alive by the hybrids, there was a cruel way of torturing anyone to tell them everything they knew, even what they don't know. So, everyone knows that it is better to explode and die rather than caught by hybrids. The research laboratory traveled south to north and east to west across the Central Asia, continuing its work.

Bella entered the living room. Entering through a door that opens and closes automatically, she sat down on a sofa which has a full of screens on the front wall.

-"Last queen, show me the memory album" when Bella said this, the woman's computer voice answered echoing in the room.

-Affirmative, Bella. Loading your memories.

-I want to see the last moments of my siblings.

-Bella, are you sure? Your mood has worsened, your stress level and your heart rate has increased. Seeing sad memories at such times can increase your motivation to commit suicide by 35%.

-Very well. Then show me the last birthday of my twin brothers.

-The recording will start in five seconds. Five, four, three, two, one ...

Her twins put a big cake in front of them. They are wearing birthday hat, having such fun. Seven candles were lit on the cake. The mother said to her siblings, "-Blow your candle darlings. Do you guys have any ideas what gifts we prepared? Are you in a hurry to know, children?" Twins raced each other blew out the candles, and then unwrapped the gift boxes.

-"Wow, I got remote controlled airplane."

-"Mine is boat." Their happiness was unmeasurable.

At that moment, Bella burst into tears. Before her eyes, the memories of that happy evening with his warm family were floating.

-Last queen, stop the recording.

-Affirmative, Bella. Stop playing record.

-I want to save the last week's memories.

-Affirmative. Please place the sensors around your head.

Bella went sat down on a designated seat. She placed a dozen of wires with large stickers on the ends around her head.

-Bella, please close your eyes. Copying memories process can cause dizziness and lightheadedness. Bella closed her eyes and leaned back. A note appeared on the dashboard stating that it was being copied, and it slowly loaded from one-to-one hundred percent.

- Finished copying the memories of last week. The sensors can now be removed.

As she unplugged the sensors and walked away, Jimmy entered the room.

-What are you doing, oh you added a memory to the album?

-Yes, from last week.

-It's a good feeling to save memories and see them live. Scientists have spent hundreds of years trying to figure out the human brain. But who knew that this discovery would be made by artificial intelligence, but not man?
