Revisiting Her

-It's all about testing-

"'Morning Elisabeth, how are we doing?"

"I'd say that things are running pretty smoothly."

"That's good news."

"Vitals look fine. A few spikes here and there on the heartbeat but that is to be expected."

"Any interference?"

"No nothing. The sequence is running better than ever before."

"Well, that is excellent news. Do you think I will be able to give a tour to the investors tomorrow as a part of the pitch so that they have a more substantial idea of what we are working on?"

"András, we talked about this...until a test subject completes the process, we should not expose what we are working on. What will happen if you are giving these guys a tour and you are about to land the contract of the century when suddenly one of the subjects regains consciousness and attacks in a frenzy? Not to make matters worse and say that we have to deal with a dead body after that attack.

"Oh please! Will you relax already? These chambers are designed to contain situations like these. Plus, you are the best resuscitator we ever had. Surely you are beyond capable of handling anything."

"Overestimating is the beginning of many horrific accidents you know..."

"Nonsense!" Something on the screen caught András' attention "See? Now the real fun begins."

"I would like to remind you we have never tried this before. This man might never be sane again after this."

"Well, they do sign a contract. How many has it been until now?"

"In limbo? Or the ones we had to put down?"

"Stop being so dramatic..."

"I am simply giving the facts here..."

"Well let's hear them then."

"Twenty in total."

"That's within our estimations still."

"You know people's lives are more than digits on the financial forecast sheet right?"

"Yet, when you signed up for this, you agreed to work according to those estimations. Do I have to remind you my dear who is the mastermind behind the very work you are performing? Or perhaps should I point out once again, who is paying handsomely for the comforts you enjoy while working here?"

Elisabeth looked at the monitors staying expressionless.

"No." she muttered finally.

"Thought so...now prepare the serum for tomorrow's presentation and prepare to witness the magic happen!"

I hope we do not come to regret this bud, for your sake as well...
