Chapter 6

The day before Shrown woke up in prison…

“I can’t believe it! I was right! It worked! Now who’s a worthless Vykker, Crelet?”

Vechk stared at his creation in pride. He had done it. It had taken him sixteen and a half hours with only three rests to complete, but he had done it.

He slumped into his chair in exhaustion. There were still tests to do, such as how it fought, how it reacted to its master (Vechk), and whether or not the arms worked. They should work, he told himself. He had very carefully planned how he would attach them to its nervous system. And then there was the implant he had put in its brain to enhance intelligence. Again, he had planned that for days. He was prepared to throw everything away and start again from scratch if this experiment failed, but he had a feeling that that wouldn’t be necessary.

The creature was still unconscious. At first Vechk thought it dangerous to keep it on gas for so long, but he had taken the chance anyway. If there was any damage, he could fix it later. Now all he had to do was get the creature back in its cage before it woke, just in case the brainwashing hadn’t worked. He got a couple of Interns to help him with that, then shooed them away. He couldn’t wait to see the look on Crelet’s face, or anyone’s faces. This single experiment would get his reputation back, he was sure.

Standing by the cage, the eager Vykker stared intently at his work.
