flash fiction biologSciFi "The Outpost"



Regenerative

     "DNA," Suzi says. Now, after one year, she can unlock a few secrets of her own, given the job before her. All she really wants is to get something to grow back on her terms, someone to compliment her work, and leave her alone. She massages the gel proteins gently to coax the regenerative ability these cells once possessed but lost in the mire of a century's worth of man's alchemy driven(M.A.D.) evolution. She lays the gel back in its proper place. Yes, if scientists were the intelligent ones and robots merely technicians--if it were that easy.
     Suzi thinks of Dr Cooper breathing close to her body, focused on not only finding new ways other than hers to make body regenerative active tissue(B.R.A.T.) commodity, but any sign of lax data that may implicate her. She thinks of Dr Cooper as passive, and could see it very clearly in his data romantic assorted bank(D.R.A.B.) history. His friends from the Continent settled in for the long run in their relationships; he seems to be accused of chasing rainbows. The Outpost is the place he was supposed to become an honest man.
