could not be sure.
There were all sorts of human body parts that were being regenerated in synthetic uteruses. These were in specially sealed transparent tubes. Other regenerated limbs and organs included eyes of different colors and hues, oversized sex organs, beefy thighs and rippling biceps. There clearly was a huge market for all these cloned products.
Other glass enclosures held a centaur; half man and half horse. Ryan remembered a news item about superstar Princess Gogo ordering one. The report noted that BC had agreed to sell it provided she signed an indemnity clause contract. BC was worried about health issues given the kinds of vigorous activities she envisaged after marriage. They did not want to be bogged down in litigation. The face of this centaur looked like a famous Hollywood action movie star and Beckett was almost tempted to knock on the glass enclosure and wake him up for an autograph! Other enclosures had men and women of different sizes, shapes and colors. Like Sleeping Beauty they all seemed to be in deep sleep. There also seemed to be a huge demand for clones that would be pressed for sexual services.
There were racks upon racks of gm pills, medicine and implants. From the labels, she saw that they could be taken by criminals to stop them from committing crimes or by anyone wishing to be happy and never ever feeling sad again.
They kept moving and hiding in various concealed places.
Robots moved around at short regular intervals providing security in this sprawling complex.
They froze. A robot with an energy prod was coming towards them!
Should they make a run?
These robots had been programmed to deal with all kinds of intruders.
Stella took a gamble and signaled for them to remain stationery.
They probably made these patrols routinely.
C hapter 22: Reunion
The robot kept coming towards them with its energy prod raised.
It was now too risky to make a dash for safety.
High above them, they could see Bella flying towards them while hiding amongst the shadows. Roland ran quietly to where they were.
“It’s all right. The robots make these random walks for security reasons. They do it every 15 minutes. Remain very still.”
The robot passed them walking through the various cloned products and left for another section.
“Sofia had provided a visual device for seeing everything here. We’re not sure how long we can use it.” She handed it to Stella.
“We saw you the moment you came in, thanks to Sofia,” Roland said. He looked like an athlete with very handsome features. His body and demeanor were perfect in every way. He was the product of enhancement tech, which meant that he was also immune to all diseases. He saw that they were feeling quite exhausted, “Try some of those carrots.”
“But it’s green!”
“That’s okay. It provides energy.”
They all took small tentative bites and were surprised at how potent they were.
“You might also like some of those purple tomatoes,” she paused. “You can come to the unemployment section, 50 meters to your right. Keep to the shadows.”
They all looked quizzical.
Bella chuckled. “That’s a private joke. This is where they keep the smart pills to be given to the unemployed.”
Emily had heard that a number of states had ordered smart pills with GM specific proteins that would react with neurons to induce a kind of mental ecstasy to reduce aggressiveness in millions of unemployed people. BC had also collaborated with Hollywood film producers to produce fantasies so that virtual 3D images could be fed directly to the minds of the unemployed through the blind spots in their visions. Technology could now feed images through these blind spots seamlessly fusing our real and virtual worlds. To save costs, a Japanese and a Korean corporation had kindly agreed to produce special lenses fitted directly into movie screens and monitors. This would mean a huge saving for unemployed moviegoers who would not need to purchase
