Adam was astonished, he knew what metabolism is, he just didn't really understand what it means, but he knew that it was big. The thing In his mind said it would enhance him, that must be good. He wasn't sure, but he didn't have any thing better to do.

The reason he believed it is because in his mind, when the thing talks to him it doesn't just say words. He can actually feel what it tries to do, he didn't have enough knowledge to understand most of it, but he knew it only wanted to make him better in every way possible, For some reason.

He was afraid of it at first, and wasn't happy to know that the thing that terrified him last night is actually inside his brain. But every time he interacts with it he gains more of its knowledge, and he can feel that it takes nothing in return, that was a simple equation that he didn't need to be smart to know its results.

Adam has a single minded personality, when he wants to do something, he would do it no matter what, or who, or how.

'will it hurt?!' Adam asked in anticipation, he wouldn't really mind if it does, he just wanted to be ready.

This time there was some basic information transferred before any words, it was like it didn't have enough words to explain the process, Adam actually felt stupid for not being able to describe what he apparently now knows.

[enhanced metabolism includes, faster Regeneration and assimilation.]

'go on then.' Adam gave the permission, he further trusted in the thing in his head when it actually asked for permission. He knew the reason it did was per his request, since he asked to be notified before any painful operation.

[25% maximum capacity will be used to enhance metabolism…

Preparation complete.

Resting position required…]

Adam laid back down on the bed when he heard this, he anticipated to be in allot of pain in a moment. he even put the pillow between his teeth, he have seen people doing this when they are in pain on TV.

[initiating enhancement…

Estimated required time, 20 minutes…

All motor functions are disabled during the enhancement.]

'wait what!! What does that mean? What is motor functions? I'm not a ro… oh yeah that!!' Adam asked before the pictures of all the things happening in his body entered his mind. 'so I won't be able to move?! What if I was in danger?'

When Adam didn't get any answer he focused on the things happening to his body. his skin temperature was so high, his inner organs spasms made him uncomfortable, but that's it. There was no pain at all, it was like having gasses.

After a few minutes of this he fell asleep, the other children left the room half hour ago, he still had at least 2 hours before miss sydni would come and wake him up, he was not planning to escape today any more, he needed to see how much change will come to his body if he did this enhancement a few more times.

His last escape plans didn't work because he was not prepared, the first time was 3 months ago when he had just arrived at the orphanage. He hid himself in the supply truck, and actually got to the city, but unfortunately the truck was parked in a closed shop. When he tried to leave, Jeff the truck driver caught him and called gem the care taker. Gem then went to the city to get him back.

Every time when he escape, Gem is always the one finding him or bringing him back for some reason. He was also the one finding him yesterday in the woods. There is rumors between the kids that Gem is an orphan as well, when he was a child he escaped and got caught by a gang, they made him their play thing and ordered him around, sometime they would beat him up just for looking wrong. No one knows how that ended up, or if it were true, they just knows that Gem would be pissed off when any one brings it up.

"hey little devil! Wake up, miss sydni wants you in her office." It was 11 o'clock when gem poked Adam with a stick the length of his hand, he never dared to touch him every since Adam almost bitten off a part of his hand on his first day at the orphanage. Whenever any one tries to treat him roughly, the least thing Adam would do is to make sure they will never forget how his teeth looks like.

Adam opened his eyes with a sudden movement, which startled gem prompting him to step back, He found that the room is noisy and most of the children were back to their beds or doing other things. he stood up and eyed gem blankly, his face void from any expression as usual.

Gem pointed at the cuffs on Adam's leg, it was his idea to cuff him to the bed, he even personally purchased the cuff to do it. "birdy come here!" gem called, and when he arrived, birdy was afraid that he was going to be punished again because of Adam, tears were building up in his eyes.

Gem gave birdy the keys to the cuffs and instructed him to unlock them, he then noticed that part of the chain fell apart, "you broke the chain! it cost me 20 coins!" gem said in a saddened helpless expression, he was getting angry but he stopped when he noticed a slight grin on Adam's face, it scared him.

Adam silently followed gem, who kept glancing at him, afraid that he would do some unexpected thing as usual, but nothing happened. They walked in the silent hallway that seemed to be recently cleaned, the floor smelled like cleaning chemicals, the walls were covered in a never ending row of closets, the ceiling, like every other area in the building, had some missing patches of paint all over it.

Miss sydni's office was one of the many doors in the hallway. It didn't look different, the interior was the same as all the other rooms, the only difference was that there was no wallpaper or closets or anything covering the walls other than some frames, some cracks were too big to be covered by the frames. Some of the frames were painted and others were pictures of the orphanage staff or some other people that Adam didn't see before.

  • Unhealthy ego.

    The dense smooth ball fell to the ground, bypassing the gravity field that previously contained it. It plunged a few centimeters deep into the hard metal floor, a ton of force was concentrated in a small area, making it hard to contain it by regular matter. It was still sinking through the metal floor slowly, as it was being mercilessly pulled by the planet’s gravity.[Connection established. recalculating blueprints to adapt to the signal of the new nanite cluster fabric. More physical contact with the material is required for a faster result.]“Was it successful?!” Keet’s eyes were asking the question before he even moved his lips. He was startled by the sudden disengagement of the sphere from the gravity field. He kept his eyes and scanners on Adam to detect if he is in danger before any thing, and he was relieved for once to see Adam’s expressionless face unchanging. “Can you control it?.”“Yes! The signal is different from any other cluster fabric, my blueprints needs to be modif

  • A dense liquid.

    “she just disappeared a year after you were born, and in her place there was a message, telling your father to provide them with a certain type of technology if he ever wants to see her again.” Keet said desperately, his voice struggling in a way.“People don’t just disappear!” Adam chuckled, he was hearing about his mother for the first time, and the first thing he hears about her is that she just disappeared. The first thing that came to his mind was that she might have abandoned him and his father. Or that she could be working with the Rinvar clan.“They don’t, but when you see this you may believe the opposite.” Keet created a screen and played a video of a woman singing a sweet lullaby for an infant wrapped in a sky blue blanket with twinkling stars all over it that seems to be moving about. The woman was sitting on a flowery wooden chair rocking back and forth. She appeared to be on some kind of a ship traveling in space, a foreign star constellations were visible from a window

  • Supernova.

    “please continue!.” Adam said. Seeing the shocked expression on Keet’s face, Adam thought that the symbiote created something amazing, so he inwardly requested the details of those spiders. However they were just normal spider scouts, like the one Adam used to kill the man who attempted to kidnap Mela.Keet’s surprise wasn’t triggered by the blueprint itself, he counted 8 spiders rushing in all directions at the same time, and the 8 if them seemed semi-intelligent while moving all over the base exploring about. Even Keet wouldn’t be able to accomplish such a level of control without automating the constructs.Which means either the spiders were all automated and the young kid already knows how to automate drone actions, which would be scary at his age. Or he was directly controlling 8 individual actions while still focusing on their talking, which would be horrifying.The reason Keet didn’t consider the probability of an artificial intelligence, is that the spiders were mostly just to

  • Hearing about Zenith.

    Adam plunged into the ground raising a cloud of dust and creating a small crater around him as he landed like a super hero on one knee and a closed fist.[The modified armor blueprint features ionic thrusters with up to 8 tons of pushing force.]‘you telling me this now?!’ Adam shouted inwardly at himself, he had no idea that the symbiote modified the armor already. his cognitive abilities and thinking speed were on another level compared to yesterday, but still he was a human that easily got distracted by the feeling of freedom and liberation, and forgot all about the need to stop and land at some point. He also wanted to show off a little in front of Keet to pretend that he wasn’t in need of help or assistance, which resulted in a minor knee bruise and a sore knuckles.“That was a cool Landing. Was it painful?!.” Keet chuckled, commenting on his landing and making sure to save the footage of it in his memory for later use.“You noticed! Well! It just needs some practice.” Adam smile

  • Not again.

    “You should come with me to the main base first.” Keet said to Adam, pointing at the middle of the island. The main base wasn’t far from where they were, the whole island was 20 km across, it would take them less then a minute to reach there flying.“Okay you go first and set a beacon, I’ll test some old tech with this new unlimited energy.” Adam didn’t argue with him, but he was still going to do his tests. He turned his clothe into a skin tight jump suit with a helmet covering his face. Two long thin wings grew from his back, ending with a jet engine each.“Do you know how loud these things are?! If you break the sound barrier with them you could damage many equipment on the island. You should try something else.” Keet stopped Adam from firing up the engines. he hated this era of technology for its too little care for the planet’s well-being. Unlike the mock engines that Adam was planning to use, the real ancient jet engine used a dangerous fossil fuel, which didn’t just endanger th

  • A small conversation.

    Adam was sitting on a wooden table behind the house, eating his big breakfast while surrounded by trees, flowers, and whistling birds. The rich sunlight bathed him in its warmth and its wide spectrum of electromagnetic radiations. “Birdy didn’t wake up yet?! He sure doesn’t miss Gem.” He said stuffing his face with more food, He stopped focusing on chewing much, the food would disappear in a few seconds anyway. He was worried about Birdy, it was unnatural for the kid to sleep in.Birdy used to wake up earlier then every one, Adam would sometime Hear him laughing on the top bed, he thought at first that he was having some weird dream. When he asked him about it, Birdy Said that it was the only time of the day he would quietly enjoy reading his comics.“That boy is actually quite something! He trained for four hours straight after you went to sleep, not taking any rest until he passed out on the living room’s floor.” Keet informed Adam while aiming a barrage of scanners and detectors at
