Aiden was sitting upright in his bed, covered in sweat. He wished he could stop reliving the end of her life every time he closed his eyes. Able to control his mind in every way when awake Aiden was upset as his own lack of control when he fell asleep. Aiden got out of bed, almost visibly shaking. "Cross," Aiden said, the callsign barely able to be said, "Alert the medical bay I am on my way." she replied, "Yes Sir."
Cross walked down the corridors of the battleship, finally reaching the medical wing of the massive ship. "What's the status of my special project?" Aiden asked the lead medical officer who replied, "Status is nearly complete, the rapid-growth cloning device we borrowed works exceedingly well." Aiden knew it was desperate but he had to have Izzy back, the AI Program designed to look and sound like Izzy was begining to disturb him, to say the least.
Aiden stood in thought looking at the cryo-chamber on the far end of the room in which he had done a rapid-freeze of Izzyy after she was impaled by shards of the engine of the craft. She didn't even have a chance to say anything. Thankfully the process done by the rapid freeze preserved her brain, fully intact. "You do know this has never been successfully attempted, Sir?" The medical officer asked Aiden, "It's Cross, it will work, I can't let it fail. What is the status on the nuero-surgeon?" the medical officer replied, We received word he entered the system not too long ago, he should be here within the hour."
The wait was taxing on Aiden, he didn't know what he was thinking with twenty thousand possibilities running through his mind, he couldn't stop staring at the chamber that was rapidly growing a clone of Izzy. The clone floated there, lifeless but beautiful, an exact replica of Izzy, save her mind and a few details. The cloning process had several details changed about the body. The bone structure was laced with an incredibly strong metal that at the same time as having great strength, resisted magnetic pull, completely. This skeletal 'frame' along with a "personal computer" that was planned to be implanted into the clone with Izzy's brain was going to give her the power to not only be alive again, but hold the power of a computer activated simply by her thoughts, and have unbreakable bones.
Aiden continued to stare at the female clone, and back at the real Cross. He couldn't tell the difference between the two short of the gaping hole iin her gut. She was at the height of her beuty, and Aiden made sure that the medical officers would use whatever technology available to prevent her newly cloned body from aging, something that not only he was going to be appreciate, but her aswell. What womenw ouldn't want to keep their peak appearance?
Aiden walked out and sat in the hall, pulled a picture he had taken of her on his bed out of his pocket and looked at it.
She was beautiful with the dark eyes sultry lips and the wonderfully long dark hair. It was no wonder he couldn't keep his hands off her combining that with being the best fighter pilot he knew and having a personality to boot. A perfect package for Aiden. It was too bad his marriage on Crete was arranged, not like it mattered anymore being an Exile from the Corsairs now. He smiled, "If everything goes right, we can get married." he said in his head to Izzy.
The nuerosurgeon arrived on the ship, Aiden hadn't been made aware of his presence untill the surgeon walked up to Aiden as he sat there looking into the eyes of Izzy in the picture. "Excuse me, Guild Master?" The nuerosurgeon asked Aiden. "Yes, but I prefer to be called 'Commander' over Guild Master" Aiden replied to the nuerosurgeon. "Ofcourse, Commander. Is that her?" the surgeon asked, Aiden nodded affirmitively. The Surgeon responded, "No wonder you spent 100 Million just to get my services, she's astonishing." Aiden replied, "Look's aren't even the half of it."
The surgeon walked into the medical bay, the new clone body was laying naked on an operation table surrounded by medics and operation machinery. "Prep the original." the surgeon said to the crew and within a few seconds the cryo-chamber that was holding the original Izzy, frozen, was rolled out next to the clone. The cryo chamber automaticly rotated to adjust to be level next to the clones operation table. Commencing 'defrost' another doctor said as the machine started making hissing sounds as it rapidly thawed the woman. It would be 20 more minutes before the thaw was complete. "Let's get the brain out of the clone and prep it for the original." the nuerosurgeon said to the other doctors.
This was wrong on so many moral levels but Aiden had to have his Izzy back, and god help his former Corsair brethren that put him in this position, not to mention the nomads that nearly took her from him, forever. Thankfully the doctors had found out a way to prevent any kind of cognitive thoughts from starting in the clone, so the brain was essentialy dead from 'birth'.
Several hours had passed untill one of the medics emerged from the operating room. "Sir, she's doing excellent, after a days rest and watching her vitals she'll be as functional as she was prior to the accident. The operation was a success!" Aiden shot up to his feet, looked the medic in the eye and said, "Is she able to speak?" the medic replied, "Unfortunately not yet, her brain is still getting used to the new body, regardless that it is identical. However she can fully understand you and is looking around." Aiden gave a sigh of relief, "Good, I must see her."
Aiden walked into the medical bay, and there she was, no longer on the operation table she was propped up in a comfortable hospital style bed, quite obviously scared. Then she saw Aiden, and the expression in her eyes said it all as she began to tear up, her first 'movement' with the new body. Aiden sat on the bed next to her, kissed her on the cheek and said, "I told you I would protect you, in any way I can." She looked back into his eyes with a look only she could muster. A look of desire, a look of love. At that moment, Aiden knew this was her, no questions asked. He laid on her bed, holding her.
To Be Continued...
[Yet again questions and comments are welcome! :)]
I will, I wanted to make the Nuero Surgeon a member of Sin|Tech but didn't feel like stopping to get permission so I cut it out. The whole medical aspect was inspired by the Sin|Tech stories if ya didn't notice. :)
Which character would you want me to use of yours McNeo? Stuart? McNeo?
It's likely the next chapter is going to be more on Izzy's 'rebirth' so to speak then I may move on to whatever ingame experiences I am having.
A note to capital ships out there, if you want in on the story, give the aldebaran a run for it's money in game and you will more than likely be guaranteed a spot in the story. :)
I'm touched, DarkOddity. It would seem that I actualy am leaving a mark.
Just so you know, I would have given you permission had you asked. But I can also understand why one would want to go ahead and post a story like this. It was well written regardless.
Considering Bs| doesn't like the BHG (cause of Order rep), i might just go out and attack your ship for ****s and giggles, or if you want to set up an elaborate story line with me and someone else who would be very interested:)

Yes, you have my permission. As for a name, it dosn't realy matter to me. Name him/her however you wish. You'll more often then not refer to them as "Doctor" or "Surgeon" anyway.
Why would i possibly give you a run for your money Aiden.Patrick.
The only way i could possibly do that is in a gunboat full of order guns! and im second in command of your clan so why would i want to fight you?.
Oh and on the note of Bs|, mabey you should correct the reputations bit so Bs| arent freindly anymore because they dont want to be :P .
You could use my sso| name Stuart Payne and introduce him how you wish (if it fits your story. I would be happy if you left me out to make your story better :D ). If its just a minor role like escort or a mojor role which fits or somthing like that then sure ill be there. But if you feel like im not supposed to be in the story, thats also fine :D .
Mabey because of this, SiN|Tech will become an ally or freindly clan. just my opinion (it would be the first time an RP story resulted in a rep change :laugh: )
