Scene: Matthews is in Bureau’s lab, looking over her charts.
HM: Did it work?
Bureau: It appears that the genes have transferred to at least some of your organs. It’s going to be a few hours to affect your entire body.
HM: I underestimated you. How would you like to join me at the orphanage? I could get you out of this hellhole and into a much better lab.
B: Oh, that’s a kind offer, but you know I never leave this place. The world below is much too…
HM: Below you? Weren’t you a proponent of “As above, so below”? What happened to your Party spirit?
B:… savage… I am a scientist, I can save the world with science. But the world below rejected science. I don’t want the reminder. The Party was the last hope for humanity.
HM: The Party rejected us. The scientist and the humanitarian, we are the civilized ones. They are the
savages.
B: We could take this to them, this is the science they wanted. This is the key to “As above, so below.” A world of immortality, able to rebuild the wasteland wrought by a race fighting for scarce resources.
HM: They tried to kill you! Some lofty ideals! We could rule the world below and never face rejection again.
B: We aren’t going to rule the world with seven orphans. (I won’t mention that the mind control is slipping.)
HM: There are plenty of “volunteers” in these streets. Not to mention the rest of the orphans, the girls anyways…
B: Your goals are awfully lofty, I think you may still be experiencing side effects from the anesthesia. Let’s give you something to help you rest and speed along the process.
He injects a liquid into the iv and Matthews passes out.
B: Incorrigible hag…. She thinks she is powerful but I know how to take her down.

i'll be very interested to seeing it with the artwork.
the story is interesting, but missing the visuals to make it complete
I am considering redoing the whole thing as a novel. My daughter is a great artist but we're both very distracted. She wants me to have an entire outline before even starting and I can't possibly sit down and get that done. I'm more fly by the seat of my pants, she's more of a planner.
Maybe I'll try ai to get some illustrations 😂
