Hi All, Following on from my recent updates - here's the third and final part of The Professor's Journal, the prologue to Early Adopters Rogue Elements. Hope you all enjoy! D.T. Entry 13
Status: Full Encryption It has been a few days now since my last entry. We have all been so busy. Bannerman pulled through the first night, then recovered quickly. By morning he had regained consciousness. By lunchtime he was back up and about. He really is a remarkable individual. I could not have hoped for a better first subject and I am just relieved that he managed to pull through. Yesterday, Bannerman confirmed that he was well enough to begin. He consented to our initial tests. Early results were exceedingly positive. Physical attributes have been heightened significantly. We have fallen some significant way short of Lendel’s original work, but everyone seems more than satisfied with the outcome. More and more, it appears that Union Jake was a significant outlier. We will have to see what happens with the rest of this initial cohort before we can conclude this with any more confidence though. We live in hope. Regardless, we must have done something right. The call we received from the CEO serving as confirmation of this. Personally, I can’t help feeling a little pride in this too. Certainly, the information provided to me gave us a head start, but I am led to believe that others have tried to fill in the blanks before and have delivered nothing. I cannot rest just yet though. We have the other subjects to get through the process. Our Sergeant needs his troops. Having seen the ordeal Bannerman has endured, I do worry for the rest. In all honesty, I have welcomed the lull of the last few days. The fact that Bannerman has not sailed through the process by any stretch of the imagination has given all involved a reason to pause and take stock. A window in which to review and reassess. I have made use of this time as best I could, going over the early data, making alterations to the process and the apparatus. We will look further into Bannerman’s fledgling abilities and his bloodwork tomorrow. We will look out for any instabilities. After that, I fear we will then need to press on. MiliTech will demand it. I only hope that I can make it easier on the rest, with what I have learnt. I do not want anyone’s blood on my hands. Then there remains the final question. The one I have not dared broach yet with anyone I fear is able to give me a definitive answer. Once I am done building these demigods, what do MiliTech plan to do with them all? I only hope that this cohort can be put to work doing some good in the world. Lord knows we all need them to. I am far from convinced though. The very idea that after what I’ve put these people through here, they could then be broken and bent into instruments of destruction and death appals me. I don’t quite know how I could live with myself if this goes wrong. It is not my choice however. All I can do is look after the best interests of these Early Adopters while they are my charges and hope they find their own way after that.
