11 Chapter 11 AI Security (2/2)
That made sense to him.
”Initiate evolution with the advanced cling and the regrowth.”
(EVOLUTION INITIATED.)
Climbing onto the bike, he started heading back the way he had come.If there was an AI sensor, he would probably be fine, heading away from the compound.It would only shoot him if he was heading towards it.He would have to figure out a way to get past that, if he was going to get off this hell hole.
His mind was a jumbled mess.These hunters could hunt him legally, because he wasn't technically human anymore.The Evolution Laws were only a recent thing.With more of these evolution devices becoming more and more available, he was sure they would change.He just wasn't sure how much in the next year.The way the law worked the last time he checked it, you were still considered a human, despite evolutionary changes, as long as there was clear documentation of the process.He lost that when he upgraded his PED.
If anything happened to his PED during his time here, they could easily have said, nope, sorry, that's not the Dustin we released.Which meant, he was going to have to find a way to break off this rock on his own.If he could get back to earth, find that damn jar of baby teeth, and change back, it would have been after the one-year sentence, allowing him to get some of his fortune back.
(EVOLUTION COMPLETE)
”PED, if you are given a genetic sample of another creature, could you turn me into that other creature, completely?Like a full change?”His mind was racing.
(WITH CURRENT SETTINGS, NO.HOST WOULD NEED TO UPGRADE SYSTEM TWO MORE TIMES TO COMPLY WITH REQUEST.)
”Two more, heh?” he could do that as soon as he got back.There were two bodies he had left at his burrow.The creatures may have eaten them, but the PMS should still be there.He revved the engine and raced forward.He couldn't wait to get off this planet.
A sound he hadn't heard before, caused him to slow down.There was a fire ball racing towards him from orbit.
”Orbital bombardment seems kind of farfetched, don't you think?” he asked the empty air around him.Speeding up again, from where he had slowed down, he veered away from where the impact would be.
As it got closer, he was shocked to see it resembled another prisoner pod, just like his own.Could this really be another prisoner?Had he also killed someone?
Debating for the 30 seconds it took for the pod to make impact, he finally decided to check it out.It couldn't hurt.
As he arrived, the port flew open and a hot chick fell out, gasping and looking at him in panic.
”Shit!Why'd it have to be a girl?”Growling, he rushed to her, as she started to collapse, ripped a scale off his arm, and shoved it into the port of her PED.
Looking over his shoulder, he saw that he wasn't the only thing attracted to the sight.Several of those giant dinosaurs with big sharp teeth, like the one that had eaten the snake, had arrived on the scene.Grabbing her up, he threw her over his shoulder and shot off on the bike.He could feel the skin on her arm, where he was holding her, starting to change into the same scaled plates he had, and sighed in relief.
Why was he so worried?What's he going to do with this chick?Bang her and have his kids here?The thought didn't sound too bad actually.
