The kneehole was closer, but then I’d be trapped. “Decaf, nonfat.”Īs I logged off, my gaze flipped between the reading room door and the kneehole under the desk. I spun as a stapler bounced onto the carpet. I don’t know how long I stared at that list-and those question marks-before something hit my skull.

While the decision was not unanimous, it was agreed that if the predetermined rehabilitation process fails, the subject must, with deep regret, be terminated quickly and humanely.Īt the bottom was a list of names. As responsible scientists, we must accept responsibility for our failures and deal with them decisively to minimize the damage. We cannot, through our actions, endanger that same world. We undertook this experiment in hopes of bettering the lives of all supernaturals. It can be reasonably hypothesized that their powers will become more volatile and uncontrollable, threatening the lives of the subjects the lives of innocents around them and, perhaps most important, posing an immense exposure risk to the entire supernatural world. The powers of supernaturals increase through puberty, meaning the powers of these failed subjects will continue to grow. It detailed how they’d handled these “unsuccessful” subjects-put them into a group home, tried to medicate their powers and convince them they were mentally ill. I remembered Tori sobbing that she couldn’t help it, that when she got mad, things just happened. Their powers were heightened, as were the negative side effects, particularly sudden onset of these powers and, more seriously, their uncontrollable nature, apparently emotion based. It appears, however, that with the unsuccessful subjects, the reverse occurred. One problem noted in the nine successful subjects was a general reduction in powers, which may be an unavoidable consequence of reducing negative side effects. However, in those subjects who did not improve, the genetic modification itself has had serious and unexpected side effects (Appendix C).įingers shaking, I typed “Appendix C” into the Find box. Did that mean there were others like us out there, ones they hadn’t found?Īs the remaining subjects proceed through puberty, side effects have been drastically reduced in nine (Appendix B). During the intervening years, the study experienced some subject attrition (Appendix A), though contact has been reestablished with most.Īttrition? They must mean kids they lost track of-like Rae, Simon, and Derek. The remaining five served as a control group and were raised as supernaturals. It was expected that reducing these effects would aid assimilation, but this was further tested by raising twenty of the children in ignorance of their heritage. This modification was primarily designed to reduce the side effects of supernatural powers. The DNA of five subjects from five of the major races was modified in vitro. Genetic modification? The hairs on my scalp prickled. This study attempts to reduce or eliminate these disadvantages through genetic modification. The blessing of supernatural powers is tempered by two serious disadvantages: dangerous or unpleasant side effects and the constant struggle to assimilate into human society. The first paragraph looked like something out of Aunt Lauren’s medical journals-the summary of an experiment. I tried clicking on one in a folder labeled “Genesis II subjects,” but misjudged and instead opened a file called simply “Genesis II” in the root folder of the same name. I opened a Finder window and searched on my name.

Very amusing.”Īs she prattled, I typed in Jacinda. They are prey to them all-greed, ambition, pride, lust. All these scientists, so proud and lofty, pretending they are above mere human frailties. Davidoff have with Rae and her mother? Another delicious secret.
#THE AWAKENING (ARMSTRONG NOVEL) PASSWORD#
“The password is Jacinda?” I said as I backed out from under the desk. As I peered under the desk, a voice whispered, “It’s Jacinda.”Ī tinkling laugh. I checked under the keyboard, under the mouse pad, under the monitor. I remembered reading that most people kept their password written near their computer. A few more tries and it asked me to enter the master password so I could reset the user account password. After my third wrong guess, it had again prompted me with the hint: usual. I tried every variation on Lyle House and Edison Group, then, in what I considered a stroke of insight: Agito, with several possible spellings. Uh, do you really think it could be that easy? At the password prompt, I typed Davidoff.
