[A hooded one:]</i> "Primus, we have passed to phase V.
|
The mind of the subjects is projected somewhere near the field of Ante Cun."
|
[Cendor:]</i> "Well done. Everything is going according to plan"!
|
|
Cendor felt so pleased with himself. It was pity that his procreator wasn't alive to witness his triumph.
|
He strived so hard to become what he was, Primus. It wasn't easy. As Fulgor, he had no chance to gain
|
the trust of the others and become what he was now, a publicity approved figure.
|
His family name was echoing tragedy, so he had to change it. His inheritance was a heavy burden in many ways...
|
|
Aline Fulgor was also a scientist. She spent her life trying to restore the ecological balance of Ahrem.
|
But instead of gratitude all she gained was disgrace. The after-effects of her intelligent genetic parasites,
|
the Thermo-devourers, were frightening indeed. Fortunately they could not interbreed,
|
as they were programmed to spread only inside the range of a selecetd target.
|
Of course, when the accident happened, nobody menthioned that.
|
All were so panicked with what happened to Ambere "The Frozen city".
|
Aline Fulgor was there, trapped in her lab with her biological creations.
|
And she died. But first, she had to watch her destiny for hundreds times,
|
unfolding in front of her in the optic sensors of her trapped colleagues.
|
And she waited for her turn to fall down the floor, trembling from the sudden loss of body heat.
|
Until her parts stopped all violent movements and her body remained still, captivated in its final pose.
