The Pepperman and the Quantum Dot Program

I OPENED A DOOR TO THE QUANTUM DOT WORLD OF INORGANIC ORGANIC MATERIALS. ALSO KNOWN AS SYNTHETIC BEINGS. PART HUMAN PART MACHINE. ONE MIGHT EVEN SAY CYBORG. CONTROLLED BY FREQUENCIES RADIATING FROM WHAT APPEARS TO BE 6G MAYBE 7G CELL TOWERS. THESE CREATURA SEEMED TO BE FASCINATED BY MY PRESENCE. I INSTANTLY BECAME AWARE I WAS BEING WATCHED AND RECORDED FROM AFAR THROUGH THE USE OF THE SURROUNDING CREATURA AND REALIZED IT WOULD ONLY BE A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOME FORM OF AUTHORITY OR LAW ENFORCEMENT OF SOME TYPE WOULD ARRIVE. I OBSERVED SOME OF THE YOUNG CREATURA OR CYBORG EATING WHAT APPEARED TO BE DRY CEREAL OF SOME SORT FROM A CLEAR BAG. THE ODER WAS HORRIFIC. I RECOGNIZED THE ODER FROM THE HISSING MADAGASCAR'S COCKROACH PROCESSING PLANT. WHERE THE ROACHES WERE FARMED , GROUND UP DRIED AND TURNED INTO FLOUR FOR COOKING PURPOSES. THE SMILES ON THESE YOUNG CYBORG / CREATURA FACES WAS EERIE TO SAY THE LEAST. THEY ALSO APPEARED TO BE LACKING PERSONAL HYGIENE HABITS. I WAS UNCERTAIN IF THEY EVEN REALIZED WHAT THEY WERE EATING. IT MADE ME LOOK AROUND THE AREA WITH CURIOSITY AND INTEREST OF WHAT ELSE I MAY OBSERVE. MY EVERY MOVE WAS WATCHED AND EVERY STEP RECORDED. ALL OF A SUDDEN A SHRILL FREQUENCY WAS DISBURSED FROM A NEAR BY AUDIO SYSTEM. THE CREATURA RESPONDED BY ENTERING WHAT APPEAR TO BE TUNNELS. I THEN SAW SEVERAL VEHICLES WITH FLASHING LIGHTS HEADED IN MY DIRECTION. I HEADED BACK TO THE DOOR / PORTAL I HAD ENTERED. JUST IN CASE I NEEDED TO LEAVE IN A HURRY. THE VEHICLES PASSED BY SO WITH CURIOSITY I FOLLOWED BEHIND. THE UNMISTAKABLE FOUL STENCH OF BURNT HUMAN FLESH WAS IN THE AREA. THE VEHICLES STOPPED AT WHAT WAS A CREATURA WHO APPARENTLY WAS SITTING ON THE SIDEWALK WITH THEIR BACK AGAINST THE WALL. THEY WERE NOT MOVING. ARM LIKE TENTACLES GRABBED THE BODY LIFTED IT ABOVE THE VEHICLE AND LOWERED IT INTO VEHICLES CARGO AREA THROUGH THE ROOF.I THOUGHT TO MYSELF THE CREATURA CEASED TO FUNCTION AND WAS ABOUT TO BE TAKEN AWAY. BIO HAZARD OR BIO WASTE PRECAUTIONS OR MEASURES OF SOME SORT. I WAS ALSO CURIOUS HOW THE BODY WOULD FIT INTO SUCH A SMALL VEHICLE. THE CREATURA'S HEAD WAS STILL ABOVE THE VEHICLE WHEN IT STARTED TO SPIN AROUND SLOWLY. THE SECOND VEHICLE EXTENDED A TENTACLE AND STARTED THE ADD A LIQUID MUSH WITH THAT HORRIFIC ODER AS THE HEAD LOWERED INTO THE CARGO AREA OF THE FIRST VEHICLE. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS SOME SORT OF NEW CREMATION TECHNOLOGY. THAT DID NOT NEED FIRE OR INCINERATE TECHNIQUES. WHAT HAPPENED NEXT WAS NOTHING SHORT OF UNBELIEVABLE. A SMALL SOLAR PANEL WAS EXTENDED AND POINTED TOWARDS THE SUN. A FEW MINUTES LATER LITTLE BAGS WITH WHAT I SAW EARLIER AND THOUGHT WAS CEREAL WERE PLACED IN THE SPOT WHERE THE BODY ONCE WAS. THE VEHICLES THEN RETURNED IN THE DIRECTION FROM WHERE THEY CAME AS THE VEHICLE UNLEASHED A SHRILL FREQUENCY AS IT WENT ABOUT ITS WAY. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CREATURA EMERGED FROM THE TUNNELS AND MADE THEIR WAY TO THE LOCATION AND ONE BY ONE THEY EACH TOOK EXACTLY ONE BAG AND WENT ABOUT THEIR DAY AS IF IT WERE ROUTINE. HAVING SEEN TOO MUCH OR SHOULD I SAY, MORE THAN I WANTED TO SEE. I HEADED BACK TOWARD THE PORTAL. I TURNED ONE FINAL TIME AND THOUGHT TO MYSELF. THIS WAS THE FUTURE FOR HUMANITY. HUMAN BEINGS DESTROYED BY SCIENCE. IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE, JUST TO PROVE HUMAN BEINGS CAN BE GENETICALLY MODIFIED, HACKED , PROGRAMED AND CONTROLLED LIKE LITTLE LABORATORY ROBOTIC RATS.
