Prolouge
The moon shines brightly from above, the stars twinkling in the crystal clear night. Colors of purple pink and blue are casted upon the sky, its was never the same after the nuclear apocalypse. Many years have passed since it's occurrence, and the human race has grown leaps and bounds. Technology runs through the veins of the cities, through the roots of the buildings. The silence of the night is heard over the land, but tonight, the silence was broken. Suddenly loud explosions burst throughout a tower in the capital. A robot, carrying a girl, leaps out of the side of the 19th floor before landing on the roof of a nearby building.
-25 minutes earlier-
The soft humming of machines flows through a large room filled with men and women alike, clipboards in hand. A hologram hovers in the air around two large glass cylinders. Vitals stretched across the blue transparent screen. Bubbles floating around in the cases as brown liquid pumps out through upper tubes to be filters through, and reinjected. A single figure rests in each tank, floating in the liquid. Wires and pumps hang from their skin as they float gently and peacefully inside. Every pump of their heart to every flux in their brainwaves are tracked on the hologram floating in front of the tanks.
"How are they doing?" A women, reading some files, nearly drops her holopad as she's startled by the head of command. His face grew annoyed as his brow furrows. His hair was pulled back and to the side with grease and a doctors mask pulled over his face for safety precautions. He asks again, this time another scientist quickly responds, "Great sir, the subjects are reacting to the DNA perfectly."
"How far are they from being finished?"
"Well, this one could be taken out, but she will be a bit wobbly for awhile. The liquid is meant to keep them relaxed so their muscles will take awhile to get use to the weight."
"Get her out then." His voice booms hurriedly, ready to see what has become of the experiment. He watches as the liquid begins to drain from the tank and the body of a girl floats to the bottom of the tank. Wires still cling to her as her soft yellow-green eyes open, quickly being shut soon after. One of the staff members grabs a blanket to cover the girls body when she is taken out.
"Dim the lights." He orders. As they dim her eyes once more open. The tank was still closed to keep her contained encase something goes wrong. "Her vitals?"
"Good sir, I think this one's a success. Most others don't get past the first few seconds of the waking period. "What's the one called?"
"We call her X, one of the last experiments attempted. If these two don't succeed then it's the end of us."
"Yes yes.. the other one?"
"Z, she is still maturing a bit. Around the same age but was put together with a slightly different dna pool. Both are the only two left." Another scientists answers.
"What can they do?" He asks as he walks up to the tank with X, watching as she tries to stand up, but to no avail.
"Not sure yet. That testing will start soon."
"Can you open the tank."
"–I suppose.." he answers with hesitation in his voice. Pressing a button on the tank results in the door piping open with a smooth woosh sound. He reaches into the tank and picks up the girl, moving around the wires, he sets her down on the ground on her feet, helping her stand. Holding her against him for support, her black hair brushing up against him. Her legs wobble as she struggles to stay up, but finally after awhile is able to stand.
"There we go. Now you can continue the process. These two girls will be the start of a new future. S.C.E corporation will control everything. The people will follow us and those who won't will by force.
Suddenly a explosion is heard followed soon by an alarm blaring through out the building. X falls to the ground covering her ears in utter pain as she screams in agony. "–fuck her hearing is far beyond ours we need to get something to help her. I can't afford her to fail!" Explosions come closer and closer to the 19th floor as security scurries through the hall.
"Sir someone is breaking in, they're wiping out our troops!" A female voice shouts from an ear piece.
Suddenly a loud burst is heard from down the hall. As voices and screams echo through the corridor. X, now with ear plugs, looks around innocent and confused. Suddenly the door bursts down as a tall blond women walks in, followed by a robot dog, that reach about 3 1/3 feet tall on all fours.
"F.I.D.O (Fido) grab the girl." Suddenly the dog lunges into the scientist that desperately to grab X and run. He bites and snarls at them not worrying about if he kills them. While he is doing this the women sucker punches whoever is coming at her.
Gently he grabs the girl, she goes without resistance as she in unknowing of what's going on. "Fido quickly!" The girl orders as she's trying to escape the grasp of some guards. Without delay he breaks down one of the far walls and jumps out. The rubble falls 19 floors down to the ground below as Fido lands onto a nearby rooftop putting great care in making sure X is safe.
X looks around throughout the sky and the buildings taking every fine detail in. Her face lights up as she looks up at the stars above. She opens her mouth to say something, but all that comes out is a feint whisper "wow" is all she is able to say, her vocal cords not year accustom to speaking. Fido continues to run as a scream echoes through the air as explosions continue to go throughout the building. He presses on unknowing if what is happening inside the tower. All he knows is his orders "retrieve X and bring her back to base" and that's exactly what he plans to do.
