production based on data assessment. Rebuilding is continuing as directed. HGH has been released in
order to help in the reconstruction. Optical nerve connections are intact; no attention is required.
Autoimmune systems are functional, but not optimal. Organic biological functions are currently stable.
SARACEN reporting.
While escaping from a secure government facility,
David Castillo is broken. Severely injured, he floats adrift in a vast void overwhelmed by a tingling sense
of déjà vu. Subconsciously he is aware of SARACEN, an AI implant, directing actions
to repair his body and speed his recovery.
The explosive escape from the facility is a source of embarrassment for Director Karl Jantzen. Alive,
Castillo represents a loose end that must be snipped. Jantzen wants to ensure evidence of his
involvement in the catastrophic event never comes to light. The director means to make dead
certain of that.
Dr. Gerald Frankel's intensive AI-human interface study is consigned to limbo by David's escape.
Existing in symbiosis with his implants, Castillo represents living proof the devices have achieved
awareness. The doctor is determined to recover his missing test subject. The cost is of no consequence.
David must forge a new life once he is repaired, but there are obstacles to overcome—such as being
officially listed as dead. A paramilitary team paid to capture him presents a complication.
Assassins sent to kill him are another issue confronting him.
David is not without resources. His right eye is a sophisticated, multi-function optical implant. The
chipset embedded in his skull includes an extensive knowledge base. The AI implant in his chest
manages repairs when he is broken. He still isn't reconciled to the idea an alien, sentient entity shares
his body. But he is open to the arrangement if it keeps him alive!
