Snippet #1611022

The machine obediently performed the command it was given. The hologram of all the logs pertaining to the amplification serum was projected in midair, floating silently and scrolling slowly as Nightshade furiously read the logs.

"There must be something I overlooked," the mutant said, nearly biting his nails in frustration.

The small rotating "eye" appeared, removed from the documents but still there. The machine spoke, the unfeeling manner in which it's voice buzzed made even more acute by the situation at hand and by the words it spoke.

"The mutant Nightshade has overlooked nothing. The BOOST project was a success." The words hung still in the air for a few seconds while Nightshade's gaze snapped to the orange translucent orb. Time had seemed to have stopped for a few moments.

"What?" Said the quiet voice belonging to the mutant, eyes widening even further in horror. "The BOOST project was a success. Mutant abilities have been amplified by 311.24 percent." The unfeeling voice said.

"The side effects kill the user though!" The mutant hissed.

"Side effects are negligible, and will be corrected by the Hybridization project." The mutant stood, dumbstruck at the machine's words.

"N-negligible?!" He stammered. "We are capable of increasing speech volume if the doctor is having difficulty hearing." The machine replied.
