Birdy touched the first shiny rod picking it up, he was surprised with its weight, it was heavier then it looked, it vibrated violently in his hand until it turned into a liquid metal and crawled onto his wrist, rapping itself around it, taking the shape of a wrist guard.He was now wearing a metallic yellowish wrist guard that seemed to be a part of a complete armor, with a screen on what ever part of it that Birdy was looking at. The screen displayed various statistics that he was reading slowly.Cluster fabric in control: 1 kg.Blueprints: (basic armor, 12 kg of cluster fabric is needed for the current body measurements.), (basic weapon, 10 – 15 kg of cluster fabric is needed to activate the lesser fire arms.).Charge: 99%. (12 years.)Ready protocols: There are no protocols.Like any other core, this core could only display information by using cluster fabric screens, even though it’s connected to Birdy’s nervous system, it can only receive signals, it cannot send any signal to th
Birdy ordered the activation of full guard, with his thoughts this time. In an instant, Liquid metal emerged from the shoulders, creating a head the same size as Birdy’s head, it had no opening for the nose, nor for the eyes, it was completely shut off.“How would I see or breathe inside that helmet?!” Birdy shyly asked with a low voice, afraid that his question would annoy Keet or Adam.“The armor’s blueprint was designed for maximum survivability, it will purify and store oxygen in almost all kinds of environments.” Keet monotonously said, while Birdy was still confused but he was afraid to ask any further.The door closed on its own and the test has started, it was a level based test, which meant it would start on the first level, which is natural elements and slow projectiles, going up to the max level that can be tested indoors, an explosion test, if the armor survives the previous tests of course.The test began by freezing the entire room, dropping the temperature to -50 degree
The armor slowly started to change as the weight kept increasing, it turned into a hydraulic press its self to fight the weight pressing on it. “How did you do that Adam!” Keet’s grin disappeared, and in its place, a worried expression covered his face.“It’s just a calculated protocol.” Adam said, not sure himself about what the symbiote did to achieve that adaptability.The weight increased to 38 tons, when Keet stopped the press manually, he obviously wasn’t happy to see this change. He was afraid that Adam could have created an artificial intelligence, because adapting is not something a normal protocol could do.“Order the shot down of the armor and turn it back to its super state.” Keet commanded Birdy, not allowing him the time to think.Birdy’s heart dropped, the sudden change of Keet’s attitude scared him now more then ever, and he was right to be scared, because after he did what he was told to do, Keet’s hands got suddenly bigger, and he picked him up like an ant.“What are
Seeing that Birdy was now feeling better after playing with the dog that was almost his size, Adam decided to end the day here and go to bed.Even though he was mentally exhausted from every thing that happened today, including the agonizing eating frenzy state he was forced into, he didn’t sleep easily. he kept thinking about Mela whom he might never see again, his father’s disappearance and what business he had with the Rinvar clan that kept him from coming back for 5 months, and what mostly kept him awake is the symbiote. he had a mixed feeling about this overly powerful entity that he accidentally stumbled onto.Up until now, he only benefited from it. he became twice as strong as an adult top tier athlete. he gained the ability to control and interact with any thing on the electromagnetic spectrum. he gained the ability to emit gravitational energy, even though he can’t yet fully control it. but the question that he keeps asking himself is, ‘am I strong enough?!’ and for some rea
4 hours ago, after Adam went to sleep, Birdy decided to test what he can do with the new blueprint that Adam created, but he was afraid to go outside the wooden house, because Keet might be out there, so he was going to settle with testing the small things.He patted the cute white dog, and then ordered it to turn to the full armor mode with his thoughts. The dog immediately seemed to be giving him a jump hug, only to turn into liquid and swallow Birdy’s entire body into the liquid, and then form the armor around his body, the process only took a split second, but it felt longer to Birdy who was in the middle of it.The armor felt lighter than before, and when he took a step forward, he didn’t feel any weight to it at all. in fact, he felt as if nothing could stop his leg from stepping forward. The amount of power behind the single step was enough to destroy anything in his path.He started to become wary of his movement, to not cause any damage to the house. And then he noticed that
Birdy was extremely exhausted, he felt that he was about to collapse, but he held on to his consciousness just to finish the third objective of the schedule that Adam created for him. He was disappointed in himself for not being able to continue to the fourth, compared to this schedule, the daily training routine he was used to in the orphanage was literally a breeze.He was oblivious to the fact that he finished a training routine made for an adult athlete, and that there was no fourth objective. the symbiote calculated that he would finish this much of this hell hard schedule, just based on Birdy’s personality, and his ignorance about how hard the training schedule is, and the fact that any human being who experienced weakness would be motivated to become stronger.What kept him going was the image of Keet’s hands wrapping around his whole body, the fear he felt at that moment, he felt too little, and too weak. the name of the protocol Adam created for him made him think that Adam w
Adam opened his eyes on a massive head of a man with white hair, white groomed beard, and wide opened eyes staring at him with the kind of amusement one would look at a rare creature with.“Waaaah… what the f*ck old man! Stop doing that!” Adam jumped out from the soft bed, away from the massive head, only to realize that it was just Keet, and his head was normal size, it was just too close for comfort.“Rise and shine Kid! We have a long, long day to catch.” Keet said with a happy grin, he couldn’t just wait until Adam wakes up, he needed some explanation for the events of yesterday.“What long day? Go catch it yourself! Let me sleep I’m tired.” Adam had nothing to wake up early for. The symbiote calculated that his body would need 9 more days to resume his preparatory enhancement. he no longer had a dead line to find a plan to escape, he was already in a safe place. And he most certainly wouldn’t give up sleep to start training early after all that happened yesterday. He was simply t
Adam was sitting on a wooden table behind the house, eating his big breakfast while surrounded by trees, flowers, and whistling birds. The rich sunlight bathed him in its warmth and its wide spectrum of electromagnetic radiations. “Birdy didn’t wake up yet?! He sure doesn’t miss Gem.” He said stuffing his face with more food, He stopped focusing on chewing much, the food would disappear in a few seconds anyway. He was worried about Birdy, it was unnatural for the kid to sleep in.Birdy used to wake up earlier then every one, Adam would sometime Hear him laughing on the top bed, he thought at first that he was having some weird dream. When he asked him about it, Birdy Said that it was the only time of the day he would quietly enjoy reading his comics.“That boy is actually quite something! He trained for four hours straight after you went to sleep, not taking any rest until he passed out on the living room’s floor.” Keet informed Adam while aiming a barrage of scanners and detectors at
