They both knew it was bigger. It was chemical. It was biological. Once all the kinks were worked out, it was going to be released to the population at large without their knowledge. And when it came down to it, it was their fault.
Jennifer was skeptical. Despite knowing he was right. She always thought herself the level-headed one, the logical half of their pairing. If they went down this path they would lose their jobs, their reputations, everything. They'd be out of work, unemployable, with a sixteen year old daughter to support. Worst of all, she feared the company would seek retribution. But she couldn't fight it. He was right. Even though Scott was an impulsive jackass, he was always right.
They had been working on the project for two years, but in some ways, their whole careers had been leading up to this point. Scott coined the phrase 'biolopsychologist' to describe what he did. The rest of the world called him a behavioral neuroscientist, but he though that was too easy to say, plus a little stuffy and dry. Jennifer's background was in both organic and inorganic chemistry, with a side-line in micro-engineering and nanofabrication. As far as the project went, their skills complemented one another perfectly.
He was the head of the team working on creating bio-engineered psychoactive compounds and mood stabilizers to be orally ingested. Scott also worked in tandem with another team who installed sonogenetic switches and memetic installation, aural reconditioning to work alongside the ingested compound. This led to Jennifer's role in the second phase of the experiment, the nanotechnology side of the equation. Evolving the subjects from within, based on the primer provided by Scott's phase, to enable abilities only dreamed of by mankind. Together they were creating a new breed of human being. But now, they were willing to give up this new evolution in the species in favor of doing the right thing. Something that neither had ever considered before, scientific tunnel vision attaching blinkers to their heads, morality never a question in their endeavors.
But the company is far more prepared, and willing to go further than either of them could have ever expected, to make sure the whistle stays silent.… (más)
