The Adonis Sequence, Chapter 2, #10 (Patreon)

I had another class and then the next stop was the Adonis Sequence program. Did they have a lot to answer for!

As soon as I walked in, Ron dropped what he was doing and stood up. “Those changes are coming fast,” he said.

“But this is the worst of it,” I said. “It’s going to stop now, right?”

“Stop?” said Ron. “David, my friend, it is just getting started.”

Great.

“You didn’t tell me it would correct my eye sight,” I said.

“It corrected your eye sight?” Ron said, with far too greater degree of surprise.

“Wait, you didn’t know this would happen?” I said.

“This is all new territory,” said Ron. “They don’t call them human trials for nothing.”

“So, basically you just shoot the stuff inside me and see what happens?” I asked, incredulously.

“It’s not quite as uncontrolled as that, but you’ve got the basic idea.”

“That’s fantastic! Anything could happen! I could actually grow a second head on this stuff and you’d just sit there and go, “Oh, isn’t that interesting?””

“David, you’re not going to grow a second head,” said Ron.

“Well, at least you know that much,” I said. “Were there any unexpected effects when you did this with Grant?” 

“One or two,” said Ron.

“Such as?” I asked.

“I can’t tell you that,” said Ron. “It would taint your data.”

“My data,” I repeated. “Ravage my body, but God forbid you should taint my data.”

“I think you’re overreacting,” said Ron.

“Easy for you to say,” I said. “You don’t have mystery goo running through your veins. Can’t wait to see what happens next.”

“Neither can we,” grinned Ron.

I gave him as sour a look as I could manage, but that’s all I cold do. There was no taking this stuff out. I was stuck. He knew it and I knew it.

Ron checked all my vitals and then set me up with an appointment to see an eye doctor so they could get exact data on what was happening with my eyes. 

More data. Awesome.
