The Heir and the Chimera
Chapter 8: Parts and Mutations
Previous ChapterIn the private room, Glass Cannon sits in 1 of 9 chair surrounding a table. Pip locks the only door in and then takes a seat himself.
Pip takes a deep breath and then says, “You saved an important lead that has saved one of most important employees so, you will get 5000 bits in credit. That risky act gave you access to our all of our beta projects to purchase.”
Glass Cannon responds, “Wow that saves me so many bits.”
“There is more, I will tell you about our Powers For All program. It is a service that at first tests you to see if you can get Gene Mods installed in you. Imagine having the ability to beat most ponies in a hoof race without training or reading a book once and remembering everything.”
“That sounds great but let’s talk about the beta parts, first.”
“Oh yes I was mentioning an ice dragon head. It will be prefect for what you need. She can’t kill with her frost breath. But, it can stop ponies in their tracks.”
“I’ll take it.”
“Would you like dragon arms to go with it?”
“Why not. So how do I test for my Gene Mods?”
“Would you like it awake or asleep?”
“Why would I want to be awake for it?”
“It can be painful but we can give you a gene mod sooner.”
“Can I order one before I get tested?”
“We don’t pick Gene Mods before testing because we don’t know if you can take certain ones or have space for a better one.”
“Alright, I would like to start my test, now and the dragon parts to be put on my bodyguard. So what method do you use to knock out a pony?”
“Please lay down on the table so you don’t hurt yourself.”
“Is it clean?”
“No harmful bacteria… uh… germs come in without our say so.”
Pip clears the table and then Glass Cannon slowly gets on the table.
Glass Cannon asks, “What now?”
Glass Cannon feels a needle on his flank and quickly falls asleep. He is at the mercy of the Doctors and their tests.
