132 Jonahs Whale, Olaf & Meta-Human Abilities (2/2)

”Right, so what did you find out about me, and my abilities?” the light in his eyes seemed to get brighter, and he actually clapped three times and bounced on his toes like a fiver year old, or a really demented clown.

”Yes! Of course! I'm sure you and everyone would think that your ability is to manipulate the electrical currents in your body right? WRONG! Your true ability is practically to absorb and reproduce super powered cells, or rather Meta-human cells. Controlling electrical currents could be considered a bonus ability, or rather a medium for you true power to shine. At first you were only able to control the currents within your body, which we've all discovered is necessary for the activation of all Meta-abilities, which is to say that current activates and deactivates their power and carries a trace of their DNA, or rather their Meta cells.

When Morrigan connected to you, a virtual or rather a psychic clone or representation of her Meta-cells were absorbed by you. But it's not the real thing, so you didn't get her full abilities or her exact abilities. What you got was the ability to see and feel the electrical currents or as you mentioned during your tests, the META-CURRENTS within the bodies of meta humans. You can also see and feel electrical currents in a normal human body, and remotely control and influence it, giving you a medium to, should you want in the future, absorb the abilities of other meta human, and restructure it to your own genetic make up's interpretation of the ability.”

”...….. I have no idea what all that means?” I said to him with a bland look on my face.

”Basically it means your cells have become polymorphic in way that defies human understanding. They can rapidly replicate and all multiple layered for each ability you have. But as every human being is different, much like our DNA and facial structures, your cells when the absorb a new power and develop a new layer, would not fully replicate it, rather they would assimilate it into existing abilities and produce the absorbed power in a manner that would solely belong to you. Or in simpler terms, two people might have the same power, but the way it's deployed and used would be different based on the fact that they're two different people with two completely different DNA strands. Do you get it now?”

”Yeah thanks Olaf, I do. But do you guys have a name for my ability yet, and do you know how I can keep track or use these powers I've absorbed?” I asked him.

”We don't know what to call your ability yet, we're working on that, however we have a little piece of tech that's still in development. It's an augmented reality neural interface that can for the most part, play the part of a UI(user interface) HUD from virtual reality games in real life. We're still working out the kinks, but when we're done, phones, computers, walkie talkies, TVs, and headsets would be a thing of the past. It would be able to track things from blood pressure to blood sugar levels, properly outline a person's physical capabilities and capacity and also growth in both mental attributes and physical ones, including knowledge. It would be a cheat for kids who need to write exams, but it also means that knowledge whenever they need it, would be right in front of their eyes. It's going to be next big thing after Mic***oft! We'll be freaking famous and rich boss!”

I couldn't help but be swept up in his enthusiasm as I laughed along with him, handsome, fit and as mad as this middle aged man seemed, he was a pure soul. It made me feel as if I was talking to an overly exuberant child. If he was this happy, and judging by the smiles of the other researchers behind him, so were they, then let's give them something more to sink their teeth in.

”Say Olaf!”

”Yes Boss?”

”What do you think when I ask you to put human clones, artificial intelligence and virtual reality neural interface in the same conversation?” at first he was confused as he furrowed his eyebrows and turned to his colleagues who looked just as perplexed as he was. And then a proverbial light bulb came on in his head and he turned to me.

”OH. MY. GOD.” I burst out into laughter as I placed my hand on his shoulders.

”Come with me Olaf, there's much we have to discuss.”
