You've always had a deep seated desire for a very large family. It was given very little thought though as one woman was more than enough for your old body. Not to mention that you are single… or were, you smirk.
Ambition is one of those simple words with complex meanings. You always dreamed of a family and helping make the world a better place. Though your new friends have showed the greed, anger, and hate have a very important essential role to play. Without them, society stagnates. You wonder how many of First's people are still alive.
For instance, without ambition why would they really want to develop Faster Than Light travel? Even Terran's own fledgling science says it is possible and the First's people had a couple millennia to figure it out before Terrans did. The lack of ambition means why find another better way when you already have a way that works? Why invent the automobile or airplane when a train or horse can already transport you to where you want to go?
Your new brain is capable of recognizing patterns and anticipating the future much more quickly than before. So you decide you may as well use this to enhance your own body further.
The enzymes in the tank will enlarge both new brain’s Pineal Gland and create additional connections to make it easier for the brain to transfer information too and from the center.
Then you adjust the mitochondrial DNA in the First’s body with a maximized rate of healing. This also increased the level of energy. Before you move on you lower the rate at which her muscles will fatigue. There will be less acid that the muscles innately create when they are used.
You adjust the growth pattern in the tank and add a couple G-spots in the First’s vagina. You even added an extra abdominal muscle to help with child birth. Before the nano-jack you would fail to have the first clue of how to do that. Now though it is almost child’s-play with the ship’s own artificial intelligence.
Now it was time to regress both of your ages a couple years, to about twenty-three, instead of twenty-five. The body’s will be almost fully developed and yet still maintain the quick healing of youth.
Then you turned the First into a Blonde with thick luxurious curly hair and sky blue eyes. Like you, her bone marrow, tendon, and muscle density is increased multiple times. She was already going to be enslaved to her passion/love for you. You figured you may as well actually do what you said you were going to do in the first place.
Within the records of the ship’s A.I. you notice that N.A.S.A. has actually found a way to prevent muscle and density loss. The first’s ship had already re-appropriated it from N.A.S.A. so you felt it would be criminal to fail to use it. The new bodies could have only evolved naturally from a much bigger, dense, and so higher gravity world.
They may or may not be able to outrun a locomotive; But they could probably leap over a one or two story building in a single bound.
You believe the First will mostly be blissfully satisfied with the nymph like beauty with the svelte gymnast form of the new body. It is technically still homosapien though considerably more advanced. You can’t help be suddenly feel that your cheating a couple hundred years of genetic evolution... but you are ok with that. |
