Mission Reboot

Chapter 2: Mission Paused

Arriving at the location I took a look around. On the far corner to my left was the jumbo-tron for ads and emergency alerts, across from that was the Chemical Hot Hotel. Closer to where I was, I had the cafe I was to meet the guy at on my left and a troll of other, smaller stores around it, while to my right was mostly restaurant and a few stores. Parking my motorcycle in a ways away and walking on foot I had to find the café I was to meet the guy at. 

Once I saw it again I walked in and got myself ready, moving my hair into a cap I put the wig on and the pale makeup, putting my contacts in my eyes going to a dull blue grey color. My appearance looking sickly once again and I put my bag back on and slowly walking my way outside after placing an order, wanting some fresh air before I had the meeting. I looked at my table and pushed a few buttons making a small portion of the table a TV screen and I set it on the news, while I waited.

Most of it was unimportant till it came to the crime it saying we had another victim dead like all the others only slightly different. I turned up the volume and listened.

"In other news, we're learning that the body's being found in alley-way and dumpsters weren't murdered per say. After talking to a few agents we now know that the body's aren't like any others. From what they've been saying is that the body acts like it's had something vital removed but when they look everything's still in place. They ran a few test and they have a theory that something much deeper is being taken. That's all I have for now though so tune in again at eleven tonight to see what we find out. Now back to you Jim." He flashed a smile and it goes back to the main studio.

After that they went on to useless news and I was about to turn it down, when there was a loud cracking sound and a shake of the whole city. The jumbo-tron flashed with a bright yellow catching all attention in the area before the world leader of planet Alpha appeared, Mister Fillip Cards.

He cleared his through before speaking while checking to see if he was being heard. "Attention Alphians, it's been 283 years since this planet was born and I'm sad to say that the planet as gotten it's first death spot. It hasn't grown and it's no bigger then a coffee can lid, but we will be clearing the area around this spot for at least fifty miles we will be keeping an eye on it and updating you when we can and we will be sending out a message to anyone who lives in the area where the spot showed up. Do please try to stay calm though." He then flashed off the screen and everyone went back to what they were doing. I lightly shook my head and saw my cup of tea had arrived, smiling I picked it up and took a sip.

"Ahh." I said having finally gotten a sip of my favorite tea in the world, Kava. I closed my eyes and took in it's cinnamon scent for a moment. I opened my eyes having a gut feeling and see the man I was waiting for. I faked up a few realistic coughs and looked at him as he took a seat.

"I took a look at your medical files and saw you had an interesting case. I also know you want to live for a long while that's why you called the eternal offer, so I'll just cut to the chase. I'll give you this to read and try not to over react before hearing what I have to say." He then pushed over a few papers and I slowly picked them up keeping a not to noticable eye on him as I scanned them over.

After a few minutes of scanning I looked it over again getting key words and noticing that it was a bit odd with what words that were popping up. In a way it was almost set up like a written out spoken contract with no poof that I would or wouldn't agree. Faking a few more coughs I set the papers down.

"I have a few questions." I said watching him slightly nod for me to go ahead and ask them. "I notice that what it was asking for was a bit odd like soul, emotional preparation, and cyborg, but even so I don't know what it all has to do?" I said having a confused  look and part of it wasn't a act.

"Ah, well you see this is 'new procedure' is still in testing phase and for your best chance at what will be happening since the odd are already low. What I'll be doing is using new technology and what it does it take your soul and put it in to a inanimate object so you can live longer." He said a sparkle going to his eye and a grin, as if he'd just bested the biggest genius in the galaxy. 

"Would it be alright if I come and saw what it all looked like?" I asked in a weak voice and another cough. I watched as he slowly contomplated the what I asked before giving me a nod, his eyes slightly closed.

"Maybe it'll be a good thing if I do so I'll send some people to pick you up." He said paying for my next cup of tea and his coffee, taking it from the waitress and walking off. I on the other hand stayed put and enjoyed the rest of my first cup before going to the restroom to change once again and drink my second cup.

After about an hour I left and went home, fed Mr. Katt, and planned for tomorrow about what I should have ready just in case things went South. Then went to bed after sending an updated email to my handler.

I woke up a few hours later to a soft but firm knock on the door. Moving with stealth I took a look through the peephole seen two strangers, deep down in my gut something told me they were here to pick me up and take me to the doc. I went back to my room got ready and slowly walked back to the door making a little noise and coughing opening the door.

“Hel……” Was all I got out before they put a bag over my head and picked me up, taking me down the two flights of stairs and setting me down in the back seat of a car. I heard the car start and the vertical wheels turn horizontal making a clicking sound as they locked into place. The car mad a soft humming sound before lifting off and we all headed away to the location at hand. I listened but there wasn't much going on and so I counted time seeing how long it would take to get there. It was about four hours before the car slowed to a landing and was turned off, taking me out and slowly walking me down some stairs. I could tell we were underground at this point because the air turned chill and the sound of tapping feet told me we were in a hallway. We took a few turns before stopping and the sound of a doors tumblers clicked out of place and we walked in the door closing behind me. The bag came of my face and I was blinded by white.

It took a minute for my eyes to adjust before I saw the room as not a room at all but a lab. To the left of me was a super computer with a large table in front of it with nothing but papers scattered across. To the right was glass panels and I slowly walked over taking a look inside. At first I thought it was a tubed human, after all most Alphian people and Betonian people would rather live for science then ineract with other beings anyway, they raised there children in tubes after all, but as I took a closer look it was a different kind of robot I'd never seen before. In each one it looked better then the last and more human like only without the detail I looked to the back of the room and saw a few chamber pods Wich was like a rectangular glass tank with a nother one of the robots inside, only this one was different. It was a clear as if the top layer was just a film to protect it, you could see everything underneath it but at the same time it still looked like it was hiding something more. You could see the metal arm rods but in some places it looked as if it could change to be longer or short maybe.

I turned and realized I was the only one in the room so I walked over to the table and took a look at all the papers finding blue prints to each robot. I looked them over and saw them not titled as robots but with a name of cyborg. I looked more I found one that had hidden panels with weapons able to come out and more that looked similar to the way the Lamronians looked, which are people from planet Lamron, but without the resistance skin they had that could stand the heat and touch of lava. I took a look at a few more before taking a few pictures with my bracelet that had a hidden camera in it that my dad had given me when I'd become an undercover detective. After moving a few more papers I saw a blue print for a cyborg that could change into an animal as well as adapt to what ever the source of it's power and controller asked. I put it down and walked back over to the chamber pods and table close by before I heard the door open back up.

“Well, well, well.” He said as he walked into the room. "Miss Kennedy your a very interesting woman indeed, or should I say detective Zaylon."
