*Dr. White looked over the computer readouts on the data that had been compiled on their newest subject. Subject QS11 had shown remarkable acceptance to the neural grafting to the QS fungus implant. His heart rate was good, his blood pressure was good and his immune system hadn't attacked the fungus like it had in Subjects QS5 and QS8. In fact, the infection that had been spread to him by Ignotus had probably saved his life on that account. That flu virus was just the thing the fungus needed to grow quickly enough into Subject QS11's body that his immune system couldn't reject it right away.*
[Assistant] "Doctor White, the subject has just come out of his coma. He managed to stay calm for a while on the table this time before getting violent. We were forced to sedate him, but he seems in good health."
*Dr. White nodded and waved the assistant away. This was good news. QS11 was conscious now and could be talked to. All the other subjects had gone quite mad at this point. Thank the Force for Dr. Black with his Regenerative Agent, QSRA19-B. With out it, QS11 would have gone raving mad a week ago and had to have been put down. Yes, everything was looking good with QS11, much better then the other subjects. He'd finish up his final report to RBI command in the morning. In the meantime, he posted an extra guard inside QS11's room and looked over QS11's identification file. QS11, known to everyone else on the outside as Jack Burton, was the RBI's most successful project at the moment, and Dr. White was quite pleased about that.

*Jack woke up in what looked like a hospital room. He had a vague memory of being here before but it was like it was in a dream. He tried to get up but a pain in his chest kept him down. It felt like there was a lot of pressure in his chest, pushing on his ribs and lungs*
[Dr. White] "Good evening Mr. Burton, so nice of you to wake up."
*Jack looked to his left and saw a dude in a lab coat with what looked like 2 heavily armed commando's wearing some kind of goggles.*
[Dr. White] "We know your unable to speak, the paralysis agent we used on you will keep your vocal cords stiff for the next few minutes. But i think it's only fair we tell you why your here."
*Dr. White pushed a button on his data pad and a holographic image appeared over the foot of Jacks bed. It was an image of Jack's smashed truck with Jack on the ground near by and Ignotus standing over him.*
[Dr. White] "We're not sure if you remember this or not, but you were nearly killed Mr. Burton. We saved your life. No thanks necessary, we plan on having you pay our kindness back."
*Another button push and the image changed again to an image of Jack on an operating table.*
[Dr. White] "See, in order to save your life we were forced to use some pretty advanced medical procedures. We'll give you a more accurate run down of everything thats been done to you later, right now just know that a rather large portion of your body is made up of a biologic synthetic tissue that was grown in a tube, mixed with genetic material from yourself and then applied to your injuries."
*another image appeared, this one of a thing that looked like a clump of plant roots.*
[Dr. White] "We also took the liberty of putting this little fellow into you, although he's not very little anymore. we'll explain what he does later to, but he's the reason for the pain in your chest. You'll get used to it, your body will adjust to his presence over time."
*The holographic projector shut down and the lights in the room came back on.*
[Dr. White] "Well, thats all for now. I'm sure you have plenty of questions, but unfortunately most of them will never be answered for you, but i'll be able to explain a bit more later when your body is fully adjusted."

Dr. White looked through the observation window into the growth chamber. A dozen cloning growth tubes lined the far wall, and the room was filled with technology imported from Komino and Khomm.
He turned from the growth chamber window and walked down the hall to sample storage. He looked through that window to view it's interior. There were a few people working in this room. They had finished preserving the bodies they had gathered from Coruscant. Mostly Jedi who'd been killed by Ignotus. Teams had been sent out to get genetic samples for cloning, rather then steeling the whole body and upsetting the Jedi. These bodies were kept in a vegetative coma, their bodies used as blood factories. Dr. White entered the lab and approached one of the lab techs.
"What's the good word?" Dr. white asked.
"QS11's body has been incinerated. It's a shame QSRA19-B wasn't effective over the long term, but we're still working on making a viable invisibility subject. Something did come up though. The blood samples from QS11 reviled the subject has an amazing genetic structure." The tech answered.
Dr. White looked over the techs shoulder at his computer, reviewing the data on the screen.
"QS11's cells have almost a modular ability to accept genetic coding" The tech continued. "I believe with few alterations, we can clone QS 11 to make a subject with increased acceptability to gene therapy and alteration."
Dr. White nodded. "What about the knife?"
The tech brought the details of what was found on the knife up on his console. "The blood sample on it was carrying the remains of a gene altering virus. how it works, we don't really know yet and we're pretty sure the force has something to do with it, but we're working on it. It's also got a fairly unique genetic structure, like nothing we've never seen before. We're working on that to."
Dr. White nodded. "Send all the relevant data to my private console. and send all the information you have on QS11 as well."

Dr. White pushed the button that would release the door to the Spaarti cylinder. The hatch on the cylinders side slid open filling the growth chamber with a chilling mist. Two techs ran forward and grabbed the body within before it fell under its own weight. they pulled the fully adult male out and carried him over to a table where they strapped it down.
"Scan it immediately. Tell me if this is the one."
one of the techs swept the body with a gene scanner and looked at the readout. "97.6 percent match. Perfect blending of the two genomes." the tech said.
"Excellent, begin the drug infusions and i want a complete brain wipe. every square inch of his brain tissue is to be wiped clean, then begin on the neurological conduction coatings." Dr. White ordered.
"What if the protein complex injections cause heart failure?" one of the techs asked.
"Well, if it does, take a genetic sample of it and clone another one. We have the template now, we can make as many as we want."

Dr. White looked at the readout of the virus data. It was amazing. all the animal test subjects had shown nearly a 300 percent increase in strength. unfortunately they also showed an increase in aggression and emotional outbursts.
According to all the data could collect, the subject also had a marked increase in latent force sensitivity, but Dr. white didn't trust in anything he couldn't measure through science. But according to their resident Force expert, the increase in force sensitivity was nearly 100%.
Dr. White would love to utilize the virus but the emotional and aggression issues might be to problematic to overcome. He closed the data and switched back over to the status of the Carbide ceramic ossification procedure that was being done to Subject QS11-Cl4.
QS11-Cl4's body had highly regenerative properties thanks to the Abyssin DNA that had been spliced into QS11's original highly adaptable chromosome structure. This regenerative factor made long term surgery out of the question. So, instead of the usual grafting of metal to the subjects bones, they decided to go with using injected bacteria. The bacteria would feed off the subjects bones and as waste, deposit an advanced crystalline form of Silicon Carbide.
The bacteria would eventually be killed off by the bodies immune system, leaving behind bones with Silicon carbide crystal deposits on their surface. After the initial bacteria injection, they followed up with a sister bacteria that consumes the deposits and spreads the carbide evenly over the surface of the bones.
According to the latest blood samples the process was 76% complete. and the X-rays showed his bone density was through the roof. Dr. White only hoped that necrosis wouldn't set in or he'd have to start all over again.

A tech came in and dropped a data pad down on Dr. Whites desk. "Latest report. The subject is finished with his ocular implants and he's gone through his last deep muscle protein injection. we started on the super conductive coating for his nervous system."
"what about the cybernetics? Has the body started rejection yet?" Dr. White asked.
"No" the tech responded. "The body has fully healed from the surgery. The computerized neural system is fully integrated into the subjects body and all the little health monitors, GPS locater, vocal comlink and all those other little gizmos are in perfect working order. Subject QS11-Cl4 is close to completion. His body anyway."
"What do you mean? The object is to complete his body enhancements." Dr. White said.
"But his mind is a completely empty shell. He has no inteligence whatsoever. we've made the perfect being, but he's a vegetable. What good is he?" The tech complained.
Dr. White smiled. "You let me worry about that."

"Are we ready to begin?" Dr. White asked.
"The subject is strapped down and ready. The facilities are ready and the techs are in position. The Virus injection is ready as well. we're all set" The lead bio tech announced.
"Very well, begin the injection and then stand back. We don't know what this will do to him."
A lab tech approached the subject on the table and injected the body with a syringe. Virus poured into the body and the lab tech walked back at a brisk pace, leaving the chamber. They waited for several minutes before they noticed any effect. The subjects skin tanned a bit and his skin tightened. His already dense muscle, increased in mass and the subject spasmed on the table, his restraints keeping him down.
"Bio sensors showing in increase in muscle and bone density. I didn't think his bones could get much more dense but they're pretty solid now. They must be damn near unbreakable." A tech said.
Another tech monitoring the subject piped up. "His neurons are going through the roof. the super conductive coating on his nervous system are amplifying his spasm attacks. I'm seeing a nearly 200 percent marked increase in reaction time."
"Amazing" remarked Dr. White. He watched for another 30 minutes before things started to settle down. "Let him go for another 24 hours then get a blood sample to measure the virus's progress. Prep the transport container, in a few days we're moving him to the PEARL station for final project completion."
One of the techs looked up. "Completion? He's perfect, how could he be more complete?"
"He's not complete yet, and he'll never be perfect. He's close, but theres something more. once the virus has run it's coarse get a final blood sample, and go through the usual routes to find a suitable female candidate."

Dr. White returned to the STAFF, walking through the security door into the lower levels. One of his techs ran up and walked beside him.
"Dr. White, while you were gone we began a search for the female candidate you were searching for. Preliminary police database searches found her for us. She was just arrested for possession of Glitterstim on Coruscant." The tech said as he passed over a datapad.
"Whats the compatability rate?" Dr. white asked, accepting the datapad and reading the data on it.
"Nearly 99%. Her DNA is nearly a perfect female match to QS11's. She also has 4 out of 12 of the genes required for force sensitivity." The tech answered.
"Very well, i'll send Mr. Red out to get her." Mr. White smiled. "He can combine it with his mission to the Jedi Temple."

Dr. White sat and the end of the conference table. He'd gathered the majority of his top staff to convene a meeting on their next project. When the last of them arrived and sat down, he turned the lights down and started a holoprojector up.
"Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Today we discuss our future project, project overlord."
Dr. White hit the button in the palm of his hand and the projector displayed an image of a human female.
"When we finished our projects on QS11-Cl4 we discovered many new things that i think we need to refine, perfect and then combine into something new. First things first. QS-11's original DNA sequence was perfect for genetic manipulation. Through a DNA search of all the databases we're networked to, we found her. One Miss Leona Kerrigan. Arrested for Gliterstim possession and use."
He hit the button again and a DNA image popped up next to the image of the female.
"Her DNA is nearly exactly like QS-11's except in one detail. In all the areas where QS-11's DNA was not perfect for splicing, hers is. So, using her and QS-11's DNA we can create the perfect Sequence. A DNA sequence that can be molded, shaped, and spliced with others in a elegant and seamless way that would produce creatures of fantastic perfection."
He hit the button one more time to switch the image entirely to that of a humanoid figure with what looked liked wings.
"We're also working on gaining some genetic material from one of these creatures. They're relatively mysterious to most of the galaxy and we haven't gotten a sample of one yet so thats becoming a top priority. Once Mr. Red gets back from his mission on Coruscant we're sending him after one of them next."
Dr. White shut the projector off and turned the lights back up. "This project is going to become our sole project from this point forward. i want all ideas forwarded to my desk ASAP and i want all our resources brought to bear on finding one of these... Intangibles. We will not be disclosing this project with Dr. Green or Dr. Black, i'm sure they have their own work to be doing. Ok, thats it people. Get to work."

"Dr. White! We just got the scan data of the genetic sample Mr. Red got for us. We've put it into the coders and started to work on the embryonic stem cells." A tech said to Dr. White.
Dr. White turned to the tech and clasped his hands together. "Good, i'll head over there immediately. Have the biology data we got from the sentient computers on Epsilon III sent to my datapad and flag the information that was marked involving psionics."

Dr. White looked into the incubation tube at the 3 inch embryo within. His newest creation was growing steadily and healthy. A tech walked up behind him with a sheet of filmplast. "Doctor, i thought you should know. There's been a Kilik sighting."
Dr. White turned and raised an eyebrow. "Where?"
"An uncolonized planet known as Cal on the edge of the unknown regions. A Cruiser, the RNS Polar Star chased a distress signal down to the planets surface. They found a crashed ship and an infestation in and around the site." The Tech answered.
"Have they engaged yet?" Dr. White asked.
"An engagement is brewing as we speak. Republic forces on the ground are moving into position to engage. 1000 battle droids and 100 power armored troopers." The tech answered.
"got on the line to the Republic security council. Get them to send another ship, those troops will get torn apart. And dispatch a containment team, i want a body, a live one is preferable but just a body will do."
The tech nodded and ran off.

Dr. White looked at the samples being applied to the rats. So far their trials had met with failure. Gliterstim was a highly unstable chemical and their efforts to use it practically were not doing so well.
"Their brain cells break down within weeks and anything over 20cc's and the rats go bananas. Totally insane." A Tech said.
Dr. White looked at the data on the drug and its properties. "have we tried it on any of the rats infected with IS01?"
The tech turned and raised an eyebrow. "No, why?"
"The regeneration in the cells that IS01 infects might allow the brain cells in the subject to repair the damage done by the Gliterstim." Dr. White answered. "In fact, in the next battery of tests i want you to expose the virus directly to the gliterstim drug to see if it induces a mutation."

Dr. White looked at the monitors. They showed two rooms each with a little girl sitting alone at a table with a datapad writing.
"They've been connected for hours. They've been communicating with 87% accuracy." A Tech said.
"Amazing. what was the genetic samples original abilities?" Dr. White asked.
"As far as we could tell, nothing. She had fairly advanced human DNA, but human none the less." The tech answered.
"So i take it the gliterstim experiments are working?" Dr. White asked.
"very much so. first we tried bathing the virus in gliterstim with little results. the virus adapted enough so it could survive which made it better, but didn't effect the drugs telepathic ability. so instead we took the new adapted virus and bred it larger. Then we injected the larger virus with Glitterstim." The Tech explained. he brought up the experiments schedule on his datapad to show Dr. White.
"The new Virus, IS03, adapted to the gliterstim treatments and several mutations later we got IS04. highly receptive to gliterstim and increases the regenerative processes in the brain cells that degrade from gliterstim poisoning." The Tech continued.
Dr. White examined the data of IS04. "So IS04 gives all infected a telepathic ability?"
"A slight one, but not enough for practical application. But it makes the infected highly receptive to gliterstim brain treatments and related gene therapy, and it repairs the brain damage done by both at an alarming rate." The Tech said.
"Excellent. what about these test subjects?" Dr. White asked.
"They're nearly perfect clones. not exactly the same though, more like twins. They're flashed clones though. Their bodies will degrade after a while. The won't die but they'll lose motor function eventually." The Tech answered.
"well, continue running tests on them. when the degrade move them to the incinerator and start a new group."

"Doctor! We just got word from Mr. Red. His mission was aborted due to being discovered by a Jedi, but it wasn't a complete failure." A Tech said as he ran up to Dr. White.
"He failed to get the information? I don't see what he could have gotten that would begin to make up for that." Dr. White said.
"Zeltron DNA. He got a blood sample of Princess Kitana. the current leader of the Jedi." THe Tech said smiling.
"Zeltron.... they're telepathic aren't they?" Dr. White asked, his mind reeling with possibilities.
"Not only telepathic but empathic as well. And they posses advanced pheromone glands and receptors." The tech said, still with a wide smile on his face. "And this particular Zeltron is Force sensitive."
"Go, get the sample and incorporate it into a new cloning chamber with Kerrigans DNA as a template. inject IS04 during her infancy stages so she can adapt to the increased telepathy more easily. Make this one a slow clone. I don't want her growing up to fast."

Dr. White looked into the glass incubation tube like a new father would look through the glass at his child in prenatal care. Inside the tube, a human female with redish tinted skin lay sleeping quietly. A silky substance secreted from glands on it's back, neck and legs was slowly covering the child.
As far as anyone could tell, the child was subconsciously cocooning itself as the incubation chamber artificially accelerated it's growth. Mr. Red's Mission had been a complete success and he now stood silently next to Dr. White, looking into the chamber.
"When will the child reach maturity?" Mr. Red asked.
"Within a few weeks. Her body chemistry is unstable so we're slowing down her aging process so her body can adjust to the mutations within it." Dr. White explained. "She is the culmination of 13 years of research in genetics. She is the perfect being i have been trying to created for two thirds of my life."
Mr. Red found the Dr. Whites face to be slightly abnormal compared to his usual emotionless demeanor. "Doctor, what purpose does she serve the Republic?" Mr. Red asked. "Granted she is a wonder and a testament to our abilities in genetic splicing, but what roll does she serve in protecting the republic, as our mandate states."
Dr. White smiled. "The greatest purpose of all. She alone can turn the minds of our enemies. Imagine it. No more war, no more fighting. Those that try and turn from the republic will be turned back by her. Those who are our enemies now will slowly begin to see the error of their ways and join us. Like a beacon, she will lead those astray to the true path, to the Republic."
"Pardon my saying so" Mr. Red said. "But isn't that a bit unethical, even for us?
"Our ethics wouldn't matter if we were all killed by our enemies. We were created in secret so that we could do the things we do, without morals or ethics to slow us down, so that the others in the galaxy can have the freedom to live their lives under those very ethics and morals we protect." Dr. White argued. "She will make everything better. Heal the wounds of the galaxy and unite us all under one banner."
"That sounds an awful lot like a dictatorship Doctor. Even if not a dictatorship, it certainly doesn't sound democratic." Mr. Red countered. "And if not democratic, then i have doubts as to weather or not its in the best interests of the Republic.
"You'll see Mr. Red. You'll see. She will make everything clear to you..."
