==[ORIGINS] USS HOOD: The Madman and the Scientist== | |||

SD: 2261.024 | |||
USS HOOD, Guest quarters... | |||
Time: during party | |||
ARr'Rhiana was facing the Romulan scientist in front of her. She had left the | |||
party just before the newsflash. Hemux felt still confused, tensed and she | |||
needed to know. She needed to know who Sahen was, why StarFleet had sent them | |||
in to get him, why she had endured the Orion Traders again and why she had to | |||
kill to rescue Sahen. | |||
So she had wandered to the secured quarters where he was , two Security Guards | |||
next to the door and two more at each junction of the corridor leading to Sahens | |||
quarters. After a scan of her retina and voice print to make sure she was | |||
ARr'Rhiana Hemux, she had to give of her phasor and only then she was allowed to | |||
get in with Sahen, joined by one of the guards. | |||
Hemux now sat in front of him, "Dr Sahen, I am ARr'Rhiana Hemux, Science | |||
officer. I am curious why you have left Romulus and why StarFleets want you so | |||
badly that they where willing to send in one of their top StarFleet senior | |||
officers to get you." | |||
She paused for a moment, but the man only looked to her with a slight, grim | |||
smile on his face, leaning a bit to the back in his seat. | |||
"I know you reputation, Sahen. You're a brilliant genetics engineer and the | |||
results of your cloning is highly praised in StarFleet science. You're findings | |||
on growing organs and replacement techniques for limbs are an incredible step | |||
forwards into science and medical technology." Now Sahen sat up a bit more | |||
straight and nodded to Hemux, but he still didn't said anything. | |||
ARr'Rhiana narrowed her eyes and her voice became more harsh "But I also have | |||
heard the rumours, the rumours about forbidden experiments, cloning total | |||
humans, or Romulans, breeding and selecting the individuals as you, or better | |||
the Romulan Empire wants them. Have you not learned from what happened in the | |||
past?" | |||
Now Sahen laughed "You know nothing, woman. You do not know half of what I have | |||
achieved. You want to know what I can do ? I do much better then just breed | |||
new limbs or new skin for medical purposes. I am way beyond the pity requests | |||
of parents who want their son to have green eyes and be 6 foot tall or their | |||
daughter to be as pretty as an Orion slavegirl." | |||
Sahens eyes glistened as he talked about his achievements, he was a proud man | |||
who had top hide himself to long in the underground, and now found someone who | |||
was a scientist, highly trained and good neough toi serve on the top of | |||
StarFleets battleships. She woudl understand, at least so he thought... | |||
"In the past they where able to clone humans, breed them with better muscles, | |||
being stronger, having a mind capable of better thinking and swifter analysing | |||
then normally possible. But they all forgot one thing: they had still the | |||
imprints of their original `parent' What I achieved is better, I can breed full | |||
grown bodies, not babies that need to be grown over decades before they perform | |||
at their best. I am able to grown a full grown adult in less then three | |||
months!" | |||
Hemux stared at Sahen stunned, if that was true then it was beyond anything that | |||
was achieved until now, that was a really incredible step forwards in genetic | |||
engineering. | |||
Sahens lips curled up in a wicked, evil smile "And I even add more to it, woman! | |||
I can breed full-grown bodies with a blank mind, ready to be trained for any | |||
purpose." | |||
Now Hemux shook her head "That is not possible, a body can not grow for so long | |||
without picking up feelings, senses, sounds. Even babies grown in the womb of a | |||
mother hear the heartbeat of their mother, taste the fluids in the womb, move | |||
their muscles, feel the warmth off the summersun. That all leaves imprints. It | |||
is know that soft music calms an unborn child, and..." | |||
"You are an idiot!" Sahens voice lashed out to her with such anger and rage | |||
that the guards took a step closer. Sahen looked to him and ignored him as | |||
Hemux waved the guard back. | |||
"Grow them in isolated tubes, isolated from sounds, light anything. Keep the | |||
temperature exactly as high as needed, it is all possible. And then, in the | |||
end, lay the imprint over their mind as you want it, as you desire it. I can | |||
create any kind of Romulan or human or Klingon, I want. I am better then God | |||
because I choose who they are, what they become!" | |||
Now hemux knew it for certain: Sahen was crazy, but also a brilliant scientist. | |||
"You mean you can add a personality to the clones?" | |||
Sahen nodded "Imagine, I create slaves for the mines, stronger muscles, greater | |||
endurance, better resistance to radiation or chemicals so they can perform | |||
better in hostile environments. I feed their minds with what they need to know | |||
to handle the tools and equipment, but no anger against the guards, no requests | |||
for better payment, no anger as a mine collapse and dozens of their comrades die | |||
in the accident. They just accept their fate... Or soldiers: I create them | |||
with better reflexes, better vision so they can see better at night, hear the | |||
enemies come from hundred feet away, feel no pain, no fear, I lay a keen mind, | |||
ready to follow orders from any superior officer, ready to march into death with | |||
a smile." | |||
Sahens eyes where wide open as he talked about his dreams and his breathing was | |||
faster. "Imagine what I could do with such an army of soldiers." | |||
Hemux blinked her eyes "Is that why you where hunted away? You want to breed | |||
your own army and the Romulan Empire discovered your plans?" | |||
Sahen growled to her "They thought I searched for knowledge, not for glory on | |||
the battlefield. They where jealous of my talents as scientist and yet hated me | |||
because I found the continuing struggle for territory and new ground an idiotic | |||
thing to do. They found me weak so they repelled me from their worlds. And | |||
knowing that Romulus might be destroyed in the future, they wanted to become to | |||
most powerfull asset in the Galaxy, so they only wanted to use my talents for | |||
their own good! So YES ! I wanted REVENGE." | |||
Sahen had a glow in his eyes that made it clear he had completely lost all | |||
sanity and normal looks to the universe. He was crazy and very, very dangerous. | |||
Hemux stared at him in silence, she knew enough... | |||
Before anyone could speak or do anything there was suddenly a strange noise in | |||
the corridor. Running around, a voice talking, then a strange bump or so and | |||
then silence again. Hemux narrowed her eyes and the guard layed his finger to | |||
his lips. | |||
ARr'Rhiana puled Sahen to his arm into the back of the room, hidden behind a bed | |||
and notioned him to shut up as he wanted to ask something. Maybe it was | |||
nothing, but maybe Sahen was not safe after all... | |||
<tag anyone> | |||
<<<NRPG>>> | |||
Hi All, | |||
I tried to figure out what would be so important about Sahen and came up with | |||
this background for him. I hope it fits into the storyline. | |||
I also picked up the Alert in Scotts post, maybe the sounds in the corridor are | |||
nothing, maybe it's just Gar and Merrick checking Sahen, but maybe it's | |||
something bad... (Play the `Jaws' theme here...) | |||
Respectfully, | |||
