Hasegawa: "Where?" | Hasegawa: "Where?" | ||
Kerr: "I need some sake now. Let's get to Cocoro." | Kerr: "I need some sake now. Let's get to Cocoro at the 50th." | ||
The two entered the main street. | |||
After some minutes Hasegawa started mumbling. "It affected her whole body. Every system..." | |||
Kerr: "Apropos system. I can't believe the WCG didn't react to this in a stronger way. I followed the CDC report, there are no conclusive results. Either, for some reason, they don't care, or, they are just incompetent." | |||
Hasegawa: "Too bad there is no cure for THAT." | |||
Kerr: "It must be something new." | |||
Hasegawa: "If the system cannot detect the threat and heal itself, it must evolve so it can." | |||
Kerr: "What about your artificial, re-programmable immune cells?" | |||
Hasegawa: "I never finished that research. The university had kept be quite busy." | |||
Kerr: "It definitively has potential. We just need to find a way for the re-programmation to happen on the fly." | |||
Hasegawa: "Detection and computation might be problem." | |||
Kerr: "Your phone and smart jacket have more power than the Appollo board computer." | |||
Hasegawa: "Haha, yeah, but that's not a good comparison. Computer tech was at its infancy at that time." | |||
Kerr: "My point is they got the fricking moon with that little. Today we have wearing supercomputers around that can be extended with all kind of gizmos and can connect to every greater supercomputers." | |||
Hasegawa: "It's a shame. We are able to fly to the moon but can't even regrow a kidney today in the lab." | |||
Kerr: "That's not quite right. In the lab you can." | |||
Hasegawa: "Hm?" | |||
Kerr: "No, really, last year I was to a health care congress. Bertram Navarre showed some throughout tested prototypes for transdifferentiation of any cell type." | |||
Hasegawa: "And? Why didn't I heard of it?" | |||
Kerr: "Soon after the congress Bertram disappeared. Nobody knows what happened to him." | |||
Hasegawa: "I thought they are only after rough elements. I have a very bad feeling about the WCG's moral compass. - We will not make our project rely on silicon-transistors. The final product must be ''independent''. Something that cannot be taken away so easily. It must be 100% biological." | |||
Kerr: "For development we will definitely need a lab." | |||
They had reached Cocoro's. | |||
Hasegawa: "Looks like we cannot ask the private sector for one. Nobody sane will grant us the means if they cannot make money with it due to some crazy TCTF science act. - Well then, screw this, we are going to the Syndicate." | |||
Kerr: "Don't you think that is a bit too dangerous?" | |||
Hasegawa: "We are not like Wernher von Braun. This won't be a weapon program." | |||
Kerr: "Von Braun wanted to build space rockets. You know how that turned out." | |||
Hasegawa: "We will be extra-cautious." | |||
Kerr: "I hope so. Because there are still Muro and Mai that need you. I would a very bad uncle if I had to tell them that also their dad died because I supported him in doing something stupid." | |||
