132 Jonahs Whale, Olaf & Meta-Human Abilities (1/2)
I hate hospitals, their white paint, the stench of antiseptic, and the undeniable aura of death. But this wasn't a hospital, this was just a research lab, in San-Francisco or rather under it. This was or rather is the underwater mobile base that served as a home and training ground to more than three thousand personnel of the Wade family. And it was affectionately coined; Jonah's Whale.
”Sir…..I mean Boss...I mean Master?....”
”Aaron is fine.” I answered the incredibly flustered doctor and his group of very nervous assistants and partners.
”well sir I can't tell you exactly how much of an honor and a privilege it is to see you, and not just because you're the head honcho, but your genes and your ability is nothing short of amazing that in just one night, you took care of 10 if not 20 years of research, experimentation and applications. This is just so wonderful.”
Okay mad scientist alert, the man who was talking had introduced himself as Olaf, he's the head researcher for not just Jonah's Whale, but the other facilities spread allover the world. He was also in charge of running some tests on me and Morrigan, and as a bonus he took care of the DNA tests between me and Lamkova. It was unsurprisingly positive. I don't really know how I was going to deal with that, so I'm choosing to burry it aside for now, I'll deal with her and my former father now brother as soon as I'm done here.
”How's Morrigan, what do your tests say about what happened to her?” I asked him as I laid back on a bed, bandages allover my still aching body.
”Right! Forgive me for not getting right to the point. Lady Morrigan will be fine, in fact more than fine she would be better than she was when she wakes up, her neural activity is off the charts. But I'm sure you want to know what happened to her? Of course you want to know! Silly me I'm such a klutz. Hehehe.”
This guy really was a mad scientist, though to be honest he doesn't look the part, for one the dude is well built, tall, handsome and had tattoos! The ink on him were a lot, so much so I could see them peaking out of the edges of his lab coat, and on his neck and some parts of his face. The only science thing about him was probably his round glasses, it just made him look like some hunky Harry potter.
”Morrigan's ability is actually much like yours but fundamentally different. Anything that gives off a signal and information, she's able to tap into it and for all intents and purposes hack or communicate with machines. We call that a technopath, however humans are also machines when you look at it from a certain angle. We give off our own signals, and it's stronger amongst guys like yourself who have Meta-human abilities. Plus Morrigan's ability works more on men than women, think of it like when animals give off pheromones, or when two magnets attract.
Males being the opposite of females are more susceptible to her, well her charms Hehehe! But basically she finds it easier to telepathically communicate with men, than with women. So she tried doing the same with you, however your ability awakened at that moment and reacted violently to the intrusion. I would say you power created a firewall against and invading virus, and shot back with a virus of it's own that left Lady Morrigan comatose and her electrical synapses in complete disarray. However you don't have to worry too much sir, as her mind is currently fixing itself and strengthening her abilities by virtue of the electrical virus which is biological in every sense of the word. But the bottom line is she's going to be fine and should be awake in anything from a week to a month at the maximum.” Olaf said to me with a smile.
That smile of his was intimidating, so far I've coasted by with my money and charisma, but quite honestly if we were somewhere else, this guy would get all the girls. He was too damn perfect and it annoyed the hell out of me, in fact I wanted him to get away from me as fast possible, but I'm pretty sure to him I'm a new shiny toy all wrapped up and ready to be played with.
”Well as long as she's going to be fine then I don't have any problems with that. However please keep me posted in case there's any change in her condition, I leave my personal line with you once I'm leaving, that way you can reach me anytime and anywhere. Plus I'll be calling you and the rest of the researchers in a week, there's a very important project I would want you guys to work on.” I said to him as I stood up, ignoring the dull aches from my body.
”That's very gracious of you sir, I'll make sure to try my best.” He replied with a too happy tone, there was just this light in his eyes that made me really uncomfortable.
