HIS RETRIVAL
HE LOOKED AT ELISON’S PICTURE FOR THE LAST TIME AND TURNED HIS BACK AS A TEAR ROLLED DOWN HIS CHEEK. AELLA WAS STANDING THERE…DOING NOTHING BUT LOOKING AT HIM THROUGHOUT THIS ALL TIME. HE MOVED TOWARD HER AND STOOD UP FACING HER…EYE TO EYE.
“I WANT TO KNOW…HOW I WAS ABLE TO SURVIVE.”
AELLA SMILED AT HIM AND PUT HER HAND ON HIS SHOULDER AND THEY BOTH MOVED HOME.
ON THE WAY TO HOME…SHE TOLD HIM WHO SHE WAS ABLE TO SAVE HIM.
“IT WAS NOT EASY TO BRING YOU BACK.” SHE SAID SHIFTING HER GAZR FROM ROAD TO AX…AFTER PUTTING THE VEHICLE ON AUTOPILOT.
“YOUR BODY WAS COMPLETELY DISTORTED WHEN WE FOUND YOU. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO RESTORE IT BACK.”
AND YET YOU SAVED ME.” AX SAID TURNING HIS GAZE TO HERM AELLA NODDED.
YES. WE DID SAVE YOU. AFTER SOL TOOK YOU HOME…WE TRIED TO PRESERVE EVERY BODY PART THAT WE COULD. WE PUT YOU IN THE DOC SO THAT YOUR BODY CAN BE PREVENTED FROM FURTHER DAMAGE.” SHE SAID TAKING A DEEP BREATH. “IT WAS A VERY LONG PROCESS. WE HAD TO DO NOTHING BUT BELIEVE IN WHAT WE WERE DOING. IT WAS JUST PURE LUCK THAT YOU ARE ALIVE TODAY.”
“HOW BADLY WAS I INJURED…?” AX ASKED HER BLINKING HIS EYES.
SHE LET OUT A DEEP SIGH AND TAKE A PAUSE OF FEW MOMENTS BEFORE RESUMING.
“I TOLD YOU…YOUR HEART WAS COMPLETELY OUT IN SIGHT. WE ONLY GOT YOUR HEART AND BRAIN IN GOOD CONDITION.” SHE SAID LOOKING AT A SPACE IN THE CAR.
“THE LOWER AND UPPER LIMBS WERE BLOWN AWAY COMPLETELY. YOUR MEDIAL BODY WAS GONE. YOUR HEART WAS FOUND CAGED IN HALF OF YOUR RIB CAGE. AND THE SKULL WAS TOTALLY TORN AWAY FROM SKIN.” SHE TOOK A PAUSE AGAIN BEFORE RESUMING.
“WE HAD DIFFICULTY IN TRANSPORTATION OF YOUR ORIGINAL BODY. BUT SOMEHOW WE TOOK IT THERE AND INSPECTED BUT DIDN’THAD MUCH TIME TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO. SOL ONCE LOOKED AT ME AND HER EYES WERE SAYING THAT IT WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE TO GET YOU BACK.”
“THEN WHY DID YOU TRIED…?”
“BECAUSE OF A PROMISE I HAD MADE WITH SOMEONE.”
AX LOOKED AT HER AND TURNED HIS SEAT TO THE FRONT.
SHE CONTINUED.
“BUT I WAS BOUND TO SAVE YOU. AFTER GETTING RID OF ALL THE DEAD TISSUES…WE WERE LEFT WITH YIUR HEART AND BRAIN. WE PUT BOTH OF THEM IN ARTIFICIAL BIO FLUID SO THAT THEY CAN HEAL BY THEMSELVES AND A PROPER NATURAL MEDIUM OF OXYGEN CAN BE PROVIDED WITH THE FLUID. THE BIGGEST CHALLENEGE WAS YOUR BLOOD. IT’S AB -. AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET SUSTAIN A PROPER CONCENTRATION OF BIO FLUID WITH YOUR BLOOD TYPE. WE HAD A VERY HARD TIME MAKING BIO FLUID ACCORDING TO YOUR NEEDS. WE HAD TO MAKE A COMPLEATE NEW SET OF FLUIDS SO THAT WE COULD USE IT FOR GENERATION OF YOUR CSF TOO.”
SHE LOOKED OUT OF THE WINDOW.
“DO YOU KNAOW ABOUT CHAMBER’S TECHNOLOGY…?” SHE ASKED HIM.
“WHERE YOU PUT BODY ORGANS UNDER CERTAIN SPECILA CONDITIONS SO THAT THEY CAN HEAL THEMSELVES BY OWN. I DON’T REMEMBER THE NAME BUT I REMEMBER THAT IT’S WRAPPED IN A SPECILA SHILED OF TISSUE SO THAT THE ABSENCE OF BLOOD DO NOT AFFECTING THE FUNCTION AND PERFORMANCE.” AX TOLD AELLA. SHE NODDED.
“JAMES SHIELD. SIR JAMES DOUGT FOUNDED IT IN 2028.” SHE TOLD HIM. HE NODDED.
“IT TOOK TWO YEARS TO BRING BACK THE BASIC STRUCTURE OF YOUR BODY. WE CREATED WHOLE SKELETAL SYSTEM WITH NITINOL.AN ALLOY OF TITANIUM AND NICKEL.”
“BUT THAT WAS BANNED ON 2025. HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO DO THAT…?”
“YOU KNOW WE HAVE OUR OWN RESOURCES.”
“BUT F-35 CAN BE USED. IT WAS EASY TO USE. AND EVERYONE USE IT NOW A DAYS. AND IT’S CHEAP TOO.” HE SAID MAKING AN O GESTURE WITH HIS FORE FINGER AND THUMB TOWARD HER.
BUT DO YOU KNOW IT HAVE MASSIVE SIDE EFFECTS. I CHOSE OLD TRADITIONAL WAY SO THAT I COULD PROTECT YOU FROM INFECTION AND THOSE LETHAL SIDE EFFECTS.”
“BUT I HEARD THERE ARE NO SIDE EFFECTS OF F-35.”
“HAVE YOU SEEN ANY CASE BY YOUR OWN EYES…?”
“NO. BUT…”
“THAT’S WHY YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT IT. I HAVE SEEN CASES, ONLY 5% LIFE SURVIVAL AFTER TAKING THE IMPLANT. ONE SHOLD CHANGE IT AFTER EVERY FIVE YEARS. NOBODY IS INTRESTED IN LOOKING AT THE TEARS AND CONDITIONS. HUH1” SHE SCOFFED.
AX FALL SILENT FOR A WHILE.
“AFTER SKELETAL FORMATION, OUR BIGGEST PROBLEM WAS TO FIND YOUR OTHER VITAL ORGANS. FOR THAT WE HAD TO SEE FOR DONERS WITHOUT GETTING IN ATTENTTION OF ANY OF THE FORCES. ONE OF MY WELLWISHER HELPED US WITH THAT AND SUPPLIED WITH ALL THE ORGANS EXCEPT THE LIVER.” SHE PAUSED BEFORE CONTINUING.
I RECREATED YOU.
THINKING THIS SHE RESUMED.
“WE STARTED WORKING ON YOUR FINAL RETRIVAL IN AUGST 2036. WE PUT YOUR GENETIC CODE TO MUSCLE REFORMATION SYSTEM AND STARTED WITH BASIC STRUCTURES. WHEN WE GET THE FINAL RESULT WITH 99% SUCCESS, WE STARTED WORKING ON ORIGINAL FORM.” SHE LOOKED AT HIM IN HIS EYES FILLED WITH SO MANY QUESTIONS WHICH WERE UNANSWERALE.
“WE COMPLETED WITH FLUIDS, AND EVERY OTHER SYSYTEM BUT YOUR SPINAL REFORMATION WAS QUITE TOUGH. WE DID THAT THREE TIMES AND WE FAILED. YOUR BRAIN WAS VERY ACTIVE IN THE CHMABER WITHOUT ANY ELECTRICAL SUPPORT FOR WORKING. WHENEVER WE TRIED TO ASSESMLBE IT WITH THE BODY AND SPINAL COLUMN…IT SPARKED WITH HIGH POTENTIAL THAT MADE IT HARD FOR US TO CONNECT IT WITH THE BODY. FOR THAT WE DECIDED TO CALM DOWN YOUR BRAIN SO WE PUT IT ON LOW POLTENTIAL ECETRICAL FIELD THAT AFTER THE ASSEMBLY GOT YOU TO SLEEPING STATE FOR A WHILE.” SHE WAS SPEAKING CONTINIOUSLY.
“AFTER STRUGGLE OF ONE AND A HALF YEAR…WE GOT YOU BACK…BUT YOU NEEDED MORE TIME TO WAKE UP.”AELLA SAID LETTING OUT A SIGH AND TURNING HER GAZE TO THE ROAD. THEY WERE HOME. THEY BOTH GOT OUT AND ENTERD THE HOUSE. AX FOLLOWED AELLA TO HER ROOM. SHEW WAS NOT SAYING ANYTHING. HE WAS WAITING FOR HER TO TELL HIM MORE BUT HER LIPS WERE NOT PARTING TO UTTER A WORD. OUT OF PATIENCE…HE STOOD BEFORE HER AND ASKED HER.
“AND WHAT AFETR THAT…?”
“YOU NEEDED TIME TO WAKE UP AX.” SHE SAID.
“WAKE UP FROM WHAT…?”
“COMA.”
HE WENT PALE.
“HO…HOW MUCH TIME…?”
“TWO MONTHS.” SHE SAID BLUNTLY…CLUNCHING HER FISTS. “IT WAS MY MISTAKE THAT I CHOOSE TO PUT DOWN YOUR BRAIN…BUT IT WAS THE ONLY WAY.”
“I UNDERTSTAND, YOU DID IT BECAUSE IT WAS NECESSARY.” AX SAID MOVEING OUT OF HER ROOM AND EXITING IT. BUT HE STOPPED. AELLA WAS SITTING ON HER BED READY TO GO TO SLEEP.
“AND WHAT ABOUT LIVER…?”
“WE GOT IT NOWHERE.” SHE SAID PUTTING HER HAIRS IN A LOOSE PONY.
“IS THIS ARTIFICAL THEN…?”
“IT’S MINE.”
SHE SAID SLIDING DOWN ON HER BED.
