...to keep THIS doctor away...
~House Divided #3~
Enjoy mates
So, a breakthrough, eh? The pig’s gone and squealed: running to Emerson’s feet, like the simpleton he is. Doesn’t he realize he’s an accessory? Does he actually think this will save his hairy hide?
The man known as Doctor Keltz spat scornfully, lost in thought. Lounged in a quiet, dimly lit office, he pondered his situation. Despite his disdain of honest, industrious, and simple people, he conceded one thing to Rhalington: the man was an engineer like no other. This advancement was exactly what the project needed in order to move forward. These blueprints from Rhalington showed mentally controlled mechanisms- that were not actually dependent on the physical brain- only thoughts. This breakthrough, when applied to his own transfer and matrix technology, should allow testing on actual subjects. But this development was both a blessing and a curse.
I’ve known Emerson for twenty years, now. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned about him in that time is that he kills those who please him last. That devil's spawn, to him, a gift is a longer lifespan. Of course, Emerson couldn’t be expected to actually let either Rhalington or I live, if this plan goes through. I’ve just got to strike first. Now, the problem is, Rhalington’s currying favor. If this pleases Emerson as much as I think it will, I’ll be his next target.
The Doctor suddenly stood, knocking back his sleek office chair. With a call, he brought his secretary to his side. The man questioned, “You needed something, sir?”
Keltz nodded, his eyes shadowed by his deep brow, “Yes. Send an invite to Mr. Emerson. He will be our guest for dinner, this evening.”
The faithful servant nodded knowingly, “Very well sir.”
As the secretary left Keltz, the doctor smiled. This was going to be one heck of a night.
Hmm, sounds like this'll be an interesting evening...
Comments or feelings on Doc. Keltz? Lets hear em!

Matrix tech, eh? Oi vey, copyright issues...
ReplyDeleteUPDATE ON MIND OVER MATTER: The main character is Amis, who is born three years after WWIV is over (which is won by the Alliance of Peacekeepers). The time after this is the Great Devestation. There are two sides at the beginning of the book (Amis founds a third in the later books): The Defts and The Harings. Each side has a UTS: For The Defts, it's Dane. For The Harings, it's Karss. The Harings find out about Amis's telekenetic powers when he becomes 14. They hunt him down, kidnap him, and almost kill him when he refuses to join their cause. Amis closes his eyes as the needle with poison closes in, and suddenly, he's awake in the middle of an airfield (Guess who saved him? That's right, it's Kar- I mean, I can't tell you!). He meets Gale O'Rourke, a top-class pilot who agrees to fly Amis to what was the country of Canada, safe from the Harings. Of course,the Defts aren't daft, so they track Amis down like the Harings and, instead of capturing him, decide to send Dane to kill him. UTSs can't kill other humans unless their powers are matured for many, many years. But Amis is a special case. With his incredibly strong powers, he disintegrates Dane and decides to invade the Deft stronghold in modern-day Germany. The book ends with him facing a Deft nuclear reactor. saying the infamous line, "This is gonna get messy..."
Oh, on Dr. Keltz, he's scary. Scarier than Emerson because (AND ONLY because) he is insane enough to kill Mr. E. I LOVE IT!
SCARIER THAN EMERSON??
ReplyDeleteOh Noooo!!
Dx
Well, hopefully you'll think otherwise once the night is up...!
(Emerson's supposed to be the scariest of them all!!)
Glad you like em though!
As to MoM (Mind over Matter), sounds complicated, yet awesome!!
