“Did the surveillance cams show where he went?” Sydni asked the man talking to her on the phone in the middle of the night.“No ma’am! All it showed was that he went near the tree by the wall at 5 pm, and he didn’t show on any other cam since then.” Gem the care taker explained in an apologetic manner. “we searched everywhere!” he felt that its his fault that Birdy disappeared, even though he had nothing to do with it, he was the one responsible for all children in room 13.Even though Gem saw Birdy every day for the last 3 years since he was transferred to the orphanage, he didn’t know much about him. He only knew that he reads comics, and talks too much, and that he was the only one Adam would talk to. Adam even kicked out the original owner of the bed above him and forced birdy to take it instead, no one knew the reason those two got along together, but no one cared as long as they wouldn’t make any trouble.“children doesn’t just disappear into thin air!” Sydni didn’t actually kno

“It’s wonderful!” Adam couldn’t find a better word to describe the scene of the lake in the middle of all the trees, the reflection of the luminous orb flickering as the gentle cold night breeze tickles the surface of the calm lake, the colorful flowers spread everywhere like a beautiful infestation devouring the whole island, there is a flower blooming in every empty inch of the ground.Despite his now vast vocabulary, he couldn’t find a better description to this island. The wooden house beside the lake felt as if it was here for centuries, being a part of the land, a good neighbor to the surrounding trees, respecting their privacy as they respected its boundaries, a generous host to the growing flowers on its ancient steps, it felt like it would be believable if the house grew naturally from a seed, it perfectly blended with the island.What delighted Adam even more, was that the whole island smelled to him like home, the unnamed smell he grew up with was in abundance here, the sme

“How much is that?!” Birdy whispered in Adam’s ear, he had no idea what a billion is, but the surprise on Adam’s face told him that it’s allot. Adam’s surprise didn’t live long. “A billion is a 9 digit number.” He answered Birdy’s question under Keet’s chuckle. “Can we bind it to someone without a surgery.” [Insufficient data for a precise answer. Shallow binding is possible with a success rate of 100 percent, it may not include the thought activation function. Deep bindings success rate is unknown due to Insufficient data, testing is required.] ‘Aren’t you being useless lately!’ Adam scolded the symbiote for its lack of useful answers, to which the symbiote didn’t react. He was disappointed in how it let him down on the one thing he was excited to do, flying. The global network of the alliance had no information on the superior cores, which is why the symbiote didn’t have any information on them other then the result of the scan. “We can. however, it’s gonna be painful.

Adam stood there watching, as Birdy’s eyes were closed in an attempt to endure the hellish pain. Even though Birdy’s face was relaxed as if he was asleep, Adam recognized the pain in his twitching expression, and the occasional uncontrollable spasms of his muscles and limbs.“How long will it take?!” Adam finally asked after a very long minute have passed, feeling that any longer then this, and Birdy may be unable to handle the pain, even though he surprisingly have endured this far while forcefully relaxing and trying to accept the pain.“The process have already ended, and the binding is a success, the phantom pain should be soothed with some painkillers, I’m waiting for him to wake up to see how he will react.” Keet answered with an amused voice. “I’m very surprised at how well he endured this though, your friend here seems to have some excellent qualities Adam.”“when did he pass out?!” Adam kept his eyes at Birdy, even though Keet have assured him that the binding is already a su

“Lets see what’s In the other boxes.” Adam went to the table and opened another box to see if it was the one containing the cluster fabric, but it wasn’t.The second box Adam opened had 6 small cylindrical shaped items, each of them was 10 centimeters long, stored separately with a foam-like material covering each one. as soon as he held one of them in his hand, the symbiote reacted to it.[Crystal energy cell discovered, not yet compatible with the host. Can be used to power various constructs instead of using internal energy.Estimated capacity is ten thousand times the current capacity of the host.The crystal energy cell is estimated to be self recharging.]‘That’s nice!’ Adam was happy to finally see something that can benefit him. He was wondering about the reason why the symbiote didn’t react to the other cell he installed in Mela’s core when the symbiote answered his unasked question.[Unlike a power cell that contains electric energy, the crystal energy cell contains a pure c

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
The weapon dealer's son The upgrade.
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 weapon dealer's son A dumb mistake.
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

The dense smooth ball fell to the ground, bypassing the gravity field that previously contained it. It plunged a few centimeters deep into the hard metal floor, a ton of force was concentrated in a small area, making it hard to contain it by regular matter. It was still sinking through the metal floor slowly, as it was being mercilessly pulled by the planet’s gravity.[Connection established. recalculating blueprints to adapt to the signal of the new nanite cluster fabric. More physical contact with the material is required for a faster result.]“Was it successful?!” Keet’s eyes were asking the question before he even moved his lips. He was startled by the sudden disengagement of the sphere from the gravity field. He kept his eyes and scanners on Adam to detect if he is in danger before any thing, and he was relieved for once to see Adam’s expressionless face unchanging. “Can you control it?.”“Yes! The signal is different from any other cluster fabric, my blueprints needs to be modif

“she just disappeared a year after you were born, and in her place there was a message, telling your father to provide them with a certain type of technology if he ever wants to see her again.” Keet said desperately, his voice struggling in a way.“People don’t just disappear!” Adam chuckled, he was hearing about his mother for the first time, and the first thing he hears about her is that she just disappeared. The first thing that came to his mind was that she might have abandoned him and his father. Or that she could be working with the Rinvar clan.“They don’t, but when you see this you may believe the opposite.” Keet created a screen and played a video of a woman singing a sweet lullaby for an infant wrapped in a sky blue blanket with twinkling stars all over it that seems to be moving about. The woman was sitting on a flowery wooden chair rocking back and forth. She appeared to be on some kind of a ship traveling in space, a foreign star constellations were visible from a window

Supernova.
“please continue!.” Adam said. Seeing the shocked expression on Keet’s face, Adam thought that the symbiote created something amazing, so he inwardly requested the details of those spiders. However they were just normal spider scouts, like the one Adam used to kill the man who attempted to kidnap Mela.Keet’s surprise wasn’t triggered by the blueprint itself, he counted 8 spiders rushing in all directions at the same time, and the 8 if them seemed semi-intelligent while moving all over the base exploring about. Even Keet wouldn’t be able to accomplish such a level of control without automating the constructs.Which means either the spiders were all automated and the young kid already knows how to automate drone actions, which would be scary at his age. Or he was directly controlling 8 individual actions while still focusing on their talking, which would be horrifying.The reason Keet didn’t consider the probability of an artificial intelligence, is that the spiders were mostly just to

Adam plunged into the ground raising a cloud of dust and creating a small crater around him as he landed like a super hero on one knee and a closed fist.[The modified armor blueprint features ionic thrusters with up to 8 tons of pushing force.]‘you telling me this now?!’ Adam shouted inwardly at himself, he had no idea that the symbiote modified the armor already. his cognitive abilities and thinking speed were on another level compared to yesterday, but still he was a human that easily got distracted by the feeling of freedom and liberation, and forgot all about the need to stop and land at some point. He also wanted to show off a little in front of Keet to pretend that he wasn’t in need of help or assistance, which resulted in a minor knee bruise and a sore knuckles.“That was a cool Landing. Was it painful?!.” Keet chuckled, commenting on his landing and making sure to save the footage of it in his memory for later use.“You noticed! Well! It just needs some practice.” Adam smile

Not again.
“You should come with me to the main base first.” Keet said to Adam, pointing at the middle of the island. The main base wasn’t far from where they were, the whole island was 20 km across, it would take them less then a minute to reach there flying.“Okay you go first and set a beacon, I’ll test some old tech with this new unlimited energy.” Adam didn’t argue with him, but he was still going to do his tests. He turned his clothe into a skin tight jump suit with a helmet covering his face. Two long thin wings grew from his back, ending with a jet engine each.“Do you know how loud these things are?! If you break the sound barrier with them you could damage many equipment on the island. You should try something else.” Keet stopped Adam from firing up the engines. he hated this era of technology for its too little care for the planet’s well-being. Unlike the mock engines that Adam was planning to use, the real ancient jet engine used a dangerous fossil fuel, which didn’t just endanger th

A small conversation.
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

Astral synergy.
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

Unimaginable.
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

The training schedule.
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
