I return to the repair assistance vehicle where my seat is raised and the attachment pod awaits below it.

After I retrieve the attachment pod and place it on my back attaching the hose from the pod to the back of my weapon.

I set the seat back down and return to the facility.

Once I enter the laboratory the anomaly increases its flailing against the glasslike substance.

While the anomaly continues, I notice the skeleton slowly begins to move as well mimicking the movements of the anomaly.

The metallic hand crashes into the glass cracking it.

Again, the glass is hit, this time by the other hand and the structural integrity is compromised enough to shatter to pieces.

I raise my weapon up and the anomaly lunges at me with the skeleton following behind it slowly mimicking its every move.

As the anomaly reaches for me with its arm like appendages, the skeleton melds into the anomaly.

I use my left hand to palm strike the two back a little distance and then start firing Vitran Particles at the combined entity.

The formerly amorphous form starts to form that a female humanoid figure.

Her eyes become a bright blue while her epidermal area becomes a pinkish color and long golden waist length hair is formed from her head.

No longer stunned it continues trying to attack me and I begin falling to the ground.

I let the force take me to the floor and I roll while using my legs to kick the entity away from me.

The entity slowly gets back up but, I am able to get back up quickly and continue firing Vitran Particles at the entity.

As the entity finally stands up it becomes fully formed.

The naked figure turns and flees the laboratory and scurries up the ladder and out into the open world.

I follow her out of the laboratory and back up to the surface.

Once I reach the surface, she attacks me and we both fall to the ground.

Her hands grab each side of my head and my helmet retracts.

As I’m trying to hold her back, she reaches in with her head and her lips touch mine as she begins syphoning my own Vitran Particles.

I reach for my weapon and flip the thumb switch to pacify mode and fire a shot into her stomach.

Her body gives out as she falls asleep.

I push her body off me and pick her up to bring her back to the repair assistance vehicle.

I put the repair assistance vehicle into encampment mode and press commands to make clothing for her in a design that resembles an old traditional one-piece dress.

It’s a very simple over the head design similar to many I saw used by humanoid bipedal creatures.

Straps rest on the shoulders to secure the cloth on the body and the bottom has a large opening to provide quick access for relief of bodily waste.

I prop her body up and slip the red colored cloth on her and then lay her back down.

After I finish clothing her, I obtain restraining devices and bind her hands and legs together.

“Computer, I have discovered a primitive version of a Vitan Series Environmental Repair Cyborg and I need to ensure her Vitran Particle levels are stable. Provide me levels on my monitor.”

“Scanning female body-type primitive Vitan Cyborg, master.”

The scanner light emits from the encampment mode and envelops the body in its light.

“Master, scan is complete. Her system was designed to use a very unstable derivative of what became the current Vitran Particles.”

“Very intriguing indeed. Continue.”

“Her levels are currently at seventy-two percent. Her spectral form is still not fully integrated with her flesh and cyber forms even though it is in synch with those forms, master.”

“I would posit that the Vitran Particles we use are more stable and additional Vitran Particles could resolve that issue.”

“Your conclusion is sound, master.”

“Continue monitoring her level and status. I will provide more Vitran Particles.”

“Monitoring particle levels along with spectral assimilation progress, Master.”

I reattach the hose to my weapon.

“Beginning Vitran Particle infusion.”

Slowly I release particles at the unconscious body.

“Particle level at seventy-nine percent, master.”

I increase the amount a little more and hold the amount steady as computer responds.

“Particle level at ninety percent and spectral integration at ninety-two percent, master.”

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

As I continue the particles the facial features finalize on her.

“Particle level at ninety-seven percent and spectral assimilation is complete. Her bodily functions are normalized, master.”

I count to five while continuing the Vitran Particle stream to her.

She lets out a large gasp as she sits up and then falls back down to sleep.

“Particle level at one hundred percent and all vital signs are holding steady, master.”

“What is your conversion status on Continent Asgard?”

“The conversion is currently at forty-two percent, master.”

“Understood. Continue monitoring her status.”

“Yes, master.”

“There must be information relating to this project so, I will be returning to the laboratory to look for any.”

“I await your next command, master.”

With my transmission finished, I produce a blanket from the encampment mode and place it on her before I return to the laboratory.

Once I arrive back in the laboratory, I begin looking for a terminal.

Near the entrance I find it.

It would have been easy to miss when passing through the door.

I begin going through the data he left.

This facility predates the construction of the evacuation vehicles.

I continue combing through his data files but there is no information on the locations of other sites.

On the subject of the experiment at hand, the three chambers on the outside of the middle chamber at point housed a female in various stages of life.

One in her late years, one in her peak years and the other a newborn.

Lækni X’s logs state that they represent the past, present and future with two of the names that are familiar, Urthr and Verthandi.

Extrapolating from what I gathered on Continent Asgard, Urthr represented the past, Verthandi represented the present, so this third Skuld, represented the future.

The skeleton that was created was devised so that the final creation would hopefully survive a coming disaster and be able to repopulate Midengard without the experiment aging.

While this lab and experiment was started before the arrival of The Raganrog it seems that after the launch of all the evacuation vehicles Lækni X stayed behind try to salvage this experiment and many others.

Query, if Lækni X stayed on planed Midengard how did Central Command come by this technology?

Perhaps these reports of him staying were more of Lækni X’s subterfuge.

Indeed, the only thing that can be certain are the actual facts in the logs.

All else should deemed as falsehoods unless there is irrefutable data to support the statements.

“Computer, I am sending you the laboratory’s data logs. Retain a copy and forward a copy to central command.”

“Yes, master.”

As I finish my transmission, I hear screaming coming from the surface area.

I exit the laboratory and see the female thrashing about and screaming.

As I reach for my weapon to pacify her, she stops thrashing about and uses her bound legs to leap at me.

With my left hand I grab her wrist shackles to stop her while holding her off the ground.

She tries to use her bound legs to hit me but, before she is able to get withing reach I fire a shot to sedate her.

I bring her back over to where she was resting before and place her underneath the blanket.

Her primal behavior is a problem.

It seems that while her body is stable her mind is no different than that of an animal.

“Computer, analyze her brain wave activity.”

“Master, subject’s brainwave activity is unstable due to the three former female lifeforms colliding and refusing control. Since the three are in a stalemate her base instincts are in control.”

“Thus, she is exhibiting animalistic behavior.”

“You are correct, master.”

I go over to the encampment mode and continue looking through Lækni X’s notes on the experiment.

This problem was known after fusing the three Midengardians.

Lækni X was unable to contact the three and resolve the dispute.

While Lækni X continued to research the issue, he decided that a fourth person was needed to override the base instincts.

One that was of a similar age to the Verthandi figure.

Lækni X may have been advanced for his time and place but, there are things I can employ that he was not able to.

“Computer, I will need to transfer her to the ship to commune with her mind. Prepare a transport pod back.”

“Transport pod has been launched and on its way to you, master.”
