Discussion II

"Mom, Dad, I have to tell you something, regarding what I want to do for the future…" Wesley said after revealing all that he has. Nervous for the outcome ahead of telling them such information. 

"Okay.. I don't see how it could be any more drastic from what you have already told us." Andrew said in a confused tone, but curiosity in his eyes, thinking about all of the crazy news he has discovered from his son. 

"With all of my abilities, and all my knowledge, I want to make this world a better place. Y'all had raised me to be a man of integrity, and to leave this world to be a better place than when I came into it. However the problem is, others do not like that, simply because of human greed. Let's look at the Alastair family for example. Just from my tech alone they wanted to push me down. Let alone governments or other nations…" Wesley said, taking a breath before beginning his next big point. 

"Because of this, I want to unite the world. I plan on going to NATO with a proposal for a one world government. I know that it will be somewhat fruitless in their original opinions. But I have ways around that. I am going to unite humanity together, this way everyone can share in the wealth of knowledge, share in economic wealth, share in physical well-being and more. But to do this, bloodshed will occur and innocent lives will be lost. I plan on shouldering this burden and I could do so in more violent manners, but I want it to be as peaceful as possible, thus I am going to NATO first to hopefully bring nations under my fold, and then move towards the rest of the world." Wesley said as he finally let all the information out regarding his future. 

Both Andrew and Rachel, were taken aback by such a goal; however, also understood as to why. They were sitting there silently, thinking over everything before giving Wesley their opinions on such developments and his future plans. Overall their love for Wesley would never change, but it showed that the life they had wanted for their son would take a drastic change and already had done so. However, Andrew finally ready to speak up said, 

"Son, your mother and I will always support you, but I am not going to lie, this is not what we had envisioned for you. Your burden you plan on shouldering will be heavy and not only that, but the fact remains of how you will set up such a world in the future? Humans are corrupt and are not 'morally' perfect, nor have the same opinions. I agree with you wanting to make the world a better place, but my warning to you as your dad, would be to tread lightly down this path." Andrew said with conflicted feelings within his heart. Proud of his son for his determination and vision for the world in the future, but saddened and worried for his son's health as he goes down this path to shoulder such weight on his shoulders.

"I know dad, and knowing y'all support me is all the drive I need to continue down this path. As long as I have y'all, I know I will be okay. The world will be changing very fast over the coming weeks, so because of that, I want y'all to stay here on the Island. I will have my security team get everything from y'alls house but for everyone's safety, I want you all here. I will also be bringing over Kohen, Keaton, and Ashlin as well because they are part of my plans for the future as well." Wesley said. 

"While we are on the topic of safety, both of you follow me." Wesley said, standing up and having his parents follow him through the facility.

Upon walking in the facility, his parents saw the various different Exo's around, all of them were of the same material and color, except for their faces and the color of their eyes. Each one giving a distinct look and almost personality from just a glance, leaving both Rachel and Andrew impressed with what they saw before them. Then they finally made their way to the medical room, and upon entering they saw Rylee floating in the healing tank, already looking slightly better from when she was in the hospital back in the States. 

"Mom. Dad. Looking at the tank that Rylee is in, what do you think it can do?" Wesley asked in curiosity to see if his parents could figure out what was before them. 

"Well just by guessing and basic logic, the tank is for healing or some sort of medical treatment, but what kind, I have no idea." Andrew stated factually, not even going to begin the intricacies before him.

"You are correct, however, there is much more to the tank before you. The liquid that is in the tank allows the patient to breathe in such 'water' like liquid. While the tank heals you and can restore your body back to its previous state, it can also fix your body's genetic code and also improve it. It is basically a genetic enhancer alongside the ability to heal someone." Wesley said with a smile plastered on his face.

"Wow! That is really impressive, but why show us? Was it just for us to see Rylee?" Rachel asked in confusion. 

"No, my point of showing you the tanks is because I want you both to undergo Genetic enhancement, alongside me as well. The 'procedure' will roughly take 24 hours. And while you are inside the tank you will undergo REM sleep, so when you wake up, you will feel extremely refreshed and younger." Wesley simply stated. 

"Okay, that is fine, but what are the outcomes of the enhancements?" Andrew asked curiously.

"A variety of things actually, one both of your bodies will be alot stronger. For example, Dad, your current strength, you are able to bench 315 in the gym. After the enhancement you should be able to bench double that. Not only will your strength increase, but your aging will slightly reverse. It will increase y'alls lifespan by around 20 years. So both of you upon exiting will look about 5-10 years younger." Wesley said in an excited tone as he felt proud of the researchers within the minerva simulation for creating such ground breaking technology. 

"WHAT?!" Andrew and Rachel both said in shock as they could not believe the benefits it was about to give them from just undergoing the treatment. 

"Yes, it will be extremely beneficial, and not only that, but as time goes on, you will be able to undergo more genetic enhancements thus allowing your strength and lifespan to increase even more. But your body needs to get used to the adjustments before you can undergo the next genetic enhancement." Wesley said, wishing that he could make it faster, but for right now this was the current limit of the technology. 

"Wow, that is extremely ground breaking, how many total sessions can a person undergo?" Rachel asked curiously.

"From my research, a persona can undergo six to eight enhancements, depending on the person; however, you have to at least wait a year or longer before being able to undergo your next enhancement. This only increases as your body has undergone multiple procedures."

"So if it increases someone's lifespan, how long can a person live if they have undergone six to eight enhancements?" Andrew asked with excitement in his eyes, coming from the STEM world, this technology was like Christmas before his very eyes.

"Mmmm currently, a person who has undergone six to eight enhancements could live anywhere from 500 to 800 years. It simply depends on when people started the enhancements." Wesley replied. 

"Holy, that drastically changes everything. Are you not worried about causing overpopulation if that is the case?" Rachel asked curiously as to how Wesley would solve such a problem in the future. 

"I have a few things I am going to implement to make sure that doesn't happen. Firstly, I am going to drastically change infrastructure on our planet, allowing more room for people and animals alike to live. Secondly, I plan on having us adventure out into the stars to mainly combat this issue." Wesley replied with his simple, yet effective solution.
