“And that pretty much concludes my report on observations of her mental state. Kelly may be a danger to herself, and others. Of course as I understand it, that may be a moot point. But I hope that you take this into consideration,” Jun Min finishes and adjusts her glass as she seats herself, finishing her presentation for the faculty and the UN representatives.
“This brings up a whole new host of questions, gentlemen,” Dr. Hudabo speaks softly, “she is would pose to be an excellent candidate otherwise, but we have no idea what this elite may have done to her psyche.”
“Not to mention her pleasant attitude,” Mr. McCallister responds flatly. He turns to Jun Min, “Your report only validates what I have known all along; she is a liability and a serious one at that.”
Mr. Gutierrez shakes his head, “I have to disagree, Raptor, perhaps you are being too hard on the girl. Although discussing this little matter is moot, the decisions has been made; can we get on to the more pressing business.”
Mr. McCallister turns his gaze to Mr. Gutierrez, “Mr. McCallister, I don’t go by that moniker, Mr. Gutierrez. I understand the point is moot, but I will speak my reservations regardless.”
Dr. Hudabo cleared his throat, “Gentleman settle down,” he stands, and taps the table as a holographic display forms in the center of the table. Various images play out, displaying various genome strains, scientific data, and observation videos of various students.
Mr. Gutierrez smiles, “Hmm, so what is the progress in your research, Dr. Hudabo?”
“As of this moment, by estimates from the Registration records, there are approximately 12,672 elites worldwide. Keep in mind there is a seventeen percent range of error in that number. By the year 2041, there will be over 178,000 elites worldwide. This number is the low end of the spectrum, gentlemen. Also recall at the close of 2004 there were only about 100 documented elites. This creates an escalating problem that inevitably will only end in disaster,” Dr. Hudabo finishes. He turns to Dr. McTaggert, “before I continue, Doctor your observations from your samples.”
Dr. McTaggert nods and stands, “As you all know the Legacy virus, has been determined as the source of what gives elites, their power. It is not understood, how this is done, or why it occurs. What we do know is that the human genome seems to be the perfect host for Legacy, and to date no other species has benefited from infection. What has come to light recently is that Legacy is accelerating through the populace. Perhaps it is mutating faster then we can comprehend or perhaps it is just a simple law of numbers, which being with more elites, in turns equals a higher chance for infection. What is known is that we are looking at the total extinction of the human species in approximate ninety-six years. In under one hundred years, homo sapiens as a species will no longer exist, I will let that sink for a moment, the ramifications of such a thought are perhaps mind boggling,” she says taking a seat, nodding to Dr. Hudabo.
Dr. Hudabo sighed, “Perhaps some of you think that perhaps we will be better off. I am not so sure. The worst-case scenario is total and complete anarchy, and a break down of the world governments. The world would be an alien place, and everything we have worked towards, would be for naught. It would be a new age where there would be no place for man, a scary thought one that even as an elite I am not sure I could fathom.”
Mr. Gutierrez nods, “What about No Return, if need be, we can use that on elite criminals, like the Pantheon prisoners. Reduce the part of the population that isn’t useful. Besides a real world test of its capabilities is in order, don’t you think?”
Mr. McCallister bristles at the statement, but says nothing waiting for Dr. Hudabo to respond.
“They may be prisoners but they have rights, besides, we are not quite sure if No Return can be controlled. Even a controlled test could end in disaster, biological agents are rarely surgical and No Return is no exception. Besides we have some startling findings, that I think will be intriguing,” Dr. Hudabo tabs the table and a holographic image of Ryan Praloski appears, showing biological data, and statistics.
“Ryan, is not infected with Legacy. Not in the slightest, at first we figured it was a mistake and did further testing but there is no sign of any type of cellular alteration, at least by Legacy. On top of that, there is a second student that bears a second look. Cassandra Prophet, also is not infected, or perhaps the better statement would be that her body was engineered from the ground up. The technology involved is beyond anything I have seen, but she has a more customized and controlled version of Legacy, which is not contagious, not at all. These two have become the target of our research, perhaps understanding what makes them unique could be the key to perhaps the Legacy question. What we are asking is that we have increased funding to look into these new avenues of research in the meanwhile, it would be prudent to invest in the McKain Industries venture,” he finishes looking around the room for questions.
