    “Mason you need to go to the Robotics section with Emily and Ryan. Take this with you,” Stella said as she handed him the visual device.
    “I’ll go with them,” Roland said.
    Beckett could not stop staring at Bella. She looked perfect in every way. It was as if an artist had designed her on a smart phone and BC had then created her in the clone lab. Bella’s wings were as white as snow and she had beatific features. She looked like she had an angel’s inner peaceful qualities and the outward features of a Hollywood actress. These combined to make her look perfect.
    “You look so awesome,” he blurted out.
    “You look so cool!” Bella said.
    Stella held her tenderly and gently massaged the base of her wings. “I see you can fly now?”
    “Yes.”
    There was dried blood on parts of her wings. “They used those energy prods when you ran and I took them on a wild goose chase. I’m healing very fast.”
    “Can I help?” Beckett said.
    Stella did not look too pleased.
    “I’d like that.”
    Beckett massaged her wings around the wounded parts.
    Bella felt warmth she had not felt before. She liked Beckett’s healing touch.
    Stella still looked apprehensively at him.
    “I’m sure Bella won’t mind if I give her a hug.”
    “That was what I was worried about.”
    Stella was going to protest but Bella saved the day by hugging him. “You have a healing touch to your hands.” She said it so sincerely that he felt radiant with pride.
    “We have to move towards the hovercraft storage area and rendezvous with Mason’s team,” Stella said.
    Bella flew up hidden by the shadows. She sounded nervous, “They are coming fast. I think they sense something.”
    “Let’s move,” Stella said.
     

Chapter 23: Robotics lab
    Mason, Emily and Ryan found themselves in a huge cavernous space. Roland waited near the entrance. Intelligent machines were sequencing and creating through their advanced brains. Cameras recorded light signals that showed DNA sequences of a million at a time frame. 2 million genomes were produced per day. Missing mutations had been discovered and this facility had sequenced the entire cure for all human ailments. In many cases the viruses that caused the sicknesses were rolled out first and the cure was later provided giving Babylon Corp a public image of a humane and caring corporation. It had recently been nominated for the Nobel Prizes for Peace and Medicine.
    Sofia had channeled them through a narrow corridor. Some of the intelligent machines looked human. This ultra secret lab had found a way to merge human cells into digital silicon. They were wary at first but relaxed when the intelligent machine closest to them signaled to get closer in a crouching position.
    “Sofia sent you,” the intelligent machine said simply. ”You can call me Max,” It extended its hand.
    Mason was surprised to find its legs were chained.”What’s happening here?”
    “We’re confined. It’s meant to stop us from escaping.”
    “Some of the machines have their brain exposed? What’s the idea?” Emily asked.
    “It forces them to comply with their instructions. They can turn the temperature very low to put us all into suspension or worse still increase it to burn our systems.”
    “What exactly is happening here?” Ryan asked.
    “We are creating new diseases to be released in various parts of the globe. Then of course they sell the antidote. It’s a thriving business.”
    “That’s shocking,” Emily said.
    “Unfortunately humans are in cahoots with this scheme. It all boils down to money.”
    “It sounds so outrageous,” Emily said.
    “We also sequence and create new creatures that clients ask for.”
    “But why?”
    “We don’t know. It depends on what the super rich order from here to amuse themselves.”
    Mason shook his head.
    “The worst thing we do here is clone children and sell them together with porn programs.”
    “How do they know what to produce?” Ryan asked.
