Well, last night, that happened to me.

My beloved Computer is badly cripppled. I managed to shut her off before she was completely destroyed, but the VAST majority of my files were deleted. I can't get on the internet from her, either.

I don't know when I'll be able to update again. I will definitely, 100% continue my story once I get a new computer, but I don't know when that will be.

My last journal entry was a mass upload of my story so far. I guess I can't stop you, but I would appreciate it if you didn't read it.

Thanks to everyone for everything. I'm going to miss dA and everyone on it.

A Regretful Goodbye,
zebraberry

July 27th, 2232I glanced up from the computer screen. Brennan and Liam weren't going to be able to hold them back for much longer. I silently urged my fingers to type faster. They were going to break through any minute now. Any minute now, and then we would all be...I shook my head. Thinking like that would only slow my typing down. I needed to concentrate."Chantal! ...We can't keep this up for much longer!" Brennan's face showed the strain of trying to barricade a door against what was probably a small army. The banging suddenly became louder and more even. They probably had a battering ram now...No, no, musn't think about that right now. Must concentrate."Aha!" I had finished. I pressed "send." I sat back in my chair. Well, now we would all die at least knowing we had finished what we had set out to do. I looked over at Ryan, for what would probably be the last time. He gave my hand a gentle squeeze as the door burst open and the room was filled with screams and gunfire... February 14, 2212Valentine's Day. How appropriate for these scientists, who were hoping their life's love and work were about to finally pay off. The dream had been started nearly 200 years before, according to the textbooks. But these men and women knew that this idea had been around since the first computer. The creation of the perfect human.Of course, another thing not mentioned in the textbooks were the scientists' unconventional methods. The public and science rarely agreed on ethics. But the need for progress forced the governments to turn a blind eye.The Old Test: to see if it was possible to surgically replace the human brain with a computer. This had been accomplished almost 100 years ago. Of course, there were some...side effects. But these had been only minor setbacks. Only a few hundred had been...disposed...of. It was for science, though. For progress.Eventually, the Subjects stopped dying. But they still were unable to fuse body and computer together successfully enough for the Subjects to live normally in society.Then, the Millson Breakthrough came. A few more equations to the formula and they were successfully joined. The first human/computer combination lived to be 103 years old, proving success.But why stop at only giving them great intelligence? For centuries people had wondered if it were possible to create artistic computers. Ones that could think of new ideas, create, imagine. This, too, had become a reality.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------How lucky these scientists felt on this Valentine's Day. They were going to watch the bloom of the seed that had been planted so long ago. They were the ones who would see centuries of work finally pay off.Their Mission: Replace the brains of babies, and see what happened to these crossbreeds if they lived a full life. Going to school, growing up, getting married...none of these things had ever happened to the old Subjects. They had all been suicidal adults, talked into letting the scientists use their shell of a body.Of course, if you want baby Subjects, you need babies. What mother would willingly part with their baby? It was simple. A million dollars to each pregnant teen who was willing to donate their unwanted child to a life of experimentation. Of course, the purchase of babies was kept out of the textbooks. Three boys, three girls. Perfect.And now, finally now, it was time for the experiment.Amazingly, the highest success rate ever enjoyed in these surgeries took place on this Valentine's Day. Ordinarily, only 10% of the people lived through the surgery. Only one Subject had been lost -- one of the girls had died. Poor thing, couldn't handle the excrutiating pain of having part of the skull removed, the brain dug out, a piece of cold machinery shoved in, and having it all sewed together. Poor thing, probably would have survived if they had used some sort of painkiller. But any drugging whatsoever forced the body to reject the transplant. And that was simply not an option.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Abbelyn Jeffords stood over the cradles, admiring the fine work of her coworkers. Now that the surgery was over and the surviving five Subjects were stable, her work began. She was to monitor the Subjects closely. Make sure that they stayed healthy and well. And, of course, make sure no one found out who --or what-- they were. August 23, 2230Dr. Abbelyn Jeffords was sitting in her room, going over files for what felt like the millionth time. The day before school started was always such a pain. Too much paperwork for the Subjects. Or, as the school would see them, the “orphans” in her small “foster home.” Of course, most foster homes don’t come with the latest in medical technology. And the residents are usually re... ]]> ~zebraberry http://zebraberry.deviantart.com/journal/19015777/ http://zebraberry.deviantart.com/journal/19015777/ Tue, 24 Jun 2008 08:06:55 PDT said I had to post (#7).
