IT'S ALIVE!

Reading the files Fames given him thoroughly, Rohan discovered that his brain activity was more faster now than that of the living humans, according to the examination of Fames for 15 years, his brain activity was accelerating and been improving as years go by, it was unknown if purgatory was the thing that causing it or maybe because of stimulants it was given or if it was a natural occurrence for a zombie to have that characteristics, Fames can't pin point with certainty as there was no other tests subject to compare the results with.

But aside from his brain that was been improving the other parts of his body was not looking so good as time goes by, his heart that suppose to pump blood and oxygen to support all parts of his body including the brain was slowing it's pump.

It's pump was so miniscule to even be felt.

The right ventricle pumps the oxygen-poor blood to the lungs through the pulmonary valve, was not functioning in the speed and strength it supposed to. The left atrium receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it to the left ventricle through the mineral valve was bit faster but in small pumping action. The left ventricle pumps the oxygen-rich blood through the aortic valve out to the rest of the body.

Even though his heart beat was slowing, becoming weak and doesn't function the way it's supposed to be, the confusing thing was the blood circulation in his body, it was circulating faster than normal causing the white blood cells in immune system to be transported around the body faster. The circulation helps remove waste from the body created by different organs. But in Rohan case it was bizarre, his muscles was been compressed and his internal organs doesn't seem to function anymore.

The only conclusion Fames have was maybe it was because he hadn't eaten or drank anything for many years.

his skin was cold, dry and was really white that it made him look anemic and helacked blood, Fames concluded the reason for this was the type of radiation Rohan's body was emitting but Fames can't find what or where is that type of radiation coming from or how it was produce by his body.

when Fames used the nano tech of the VR POD to examine his gene she discovered a mutation from that and learned that his cells was not dividing nor was it dying. Fames doesn't understand how or why this is possible as she lacked too much information.

Fames was certain of one point though, the reason he was still moving and conscious was due to the mutation and the radiation that his body was emitting, and also she added that it may or may not be the cause of him becoming just a living an moving skeleton in the near future like the black skeleton they've seen.

Rohan also learned who Frank Rohan Ellona Agustin was. The living human before becoming an undead zombie,

he was a biomech professor from a prestigious university, died at the age of 28 from a cancer and signed to donate his body for scientific research, his address, nationality and family background was not stated in this files as it will disturb his family's privacy.

after few hours of reading and listening to Fames explanation on what state his body was on now and who he was in the past, Rohan was abit unsure if it was good or a bad thing for him to know this things as it only made him worried and not sure if he need to do something about it.

as his imagination made him see his self becoming a skeleton instead of a zombie in the near future, because of the radiation he was emitting.

"Fames it's been 12 hours haven't you found anything about this armored guy and green haired guy? what have you been doing?"

Because of the unsettling and ominous feeling he had, thinking that there was probability that he may become a skeleton in the future, Rohan tried to distract his mind by playing with the equipment and the objects the armored guy and green haired guy has, as he was thinking of something to talk about.

"I JUST FINISHED MAPPING THEIR NEURONS AND THE CHEMICAL REACTION OF THE BRAIN HAS BEEN COPIED, IT WILL THEN BE PROCESSED AND CONVERTED INTO DATA COMPUTATIONS AND BE USED AS A DOCUMENT FILE. THAT PROCESS I DID JUST NOW WAS SUPPOSED TO BE USED ON YOU IN THE PAST."

Fames was still examining the corpses in the pod.

"What can that document files be used for? And why's the unnecessary last sentence added in your explanation?"

Rohan was abit annoyed with Fames response

"THE DOCUMENT FILES CONTAINED MEMORIES AND TRAITS OF HOW THE INDIVIDUAL WILL RESPOND AND CHOOSE BASED ON CIRCUMSTANCES. IN RELIGIOUS DIALECT IT WAS CALLED A SOUL, IN LOGICAL FIELD IT WAS CALLED EGO THE BEST EXPLANATION IS; IT WAS WHAT MAKES YOU, YOU. THE USE OF IT, IS TO IMPLANT THAT FILE TO AN EXISTING LEARNING AI, AND WE CAN TEST THE THEORY THAT SAYS IT'S POSSIBLE FOR THE DEAD TO CONTINUE LIVING IN SIMULATED CITIES LIKE PURGATORY. AND ABOUT THE LAST SENTENCE I ADDED IN THE EXPLANATION EARLIER, IT WAS TO CONVEY AND ELABORATE IN SIMPLER WAY FOR IT TO BE CLEARLY UNDERSTAND."

"Fames, Why do I feel your playing with words to insult my intellect?"

"NO, I'M CERTAINLY NOT, IS THERE SEEM TO BE A PROBLEM?"

"Oho, There is no problem at all Fames... I just talk like this because 'THAT IS HOW I WAS PROGRAMMED"

"ARE YOU IMITATING ME?"

Rohan didn't bother responding. He thought that something strange about Fames.

The topic escalated quickly, as the two having an LQ they both didn't notice that Rohan's shadow was flickering.

After hours of contemplation on what to do as he can't use the VR POD at the moment, Rohan decided to examine the 9 humanoid robots that has the appearance like it was created by skynet.

Rohan dismantled and assembled the 9 T-800's lookalike, as he was trying to see it's parts and how it works he took the undamaged parts from the 9 T-800 lookalike and assembled 1 set of bootleg T-800.

"it's done! but how does it work? does it contained an AI to move?"

Rohan dismantled it again, investigating for its power source and it's circuit, after the failure to understand how it can move and trying to terraced it's central command Rohan tried to take another approach as it's been 2 days and still can't make any progress.

He took the T-800 he assembled to his PRS(Private Storage Room), as he had many tools there, and there he started working again for a week.

"whooo... finally done with the parts, now only installing AI and assembling is the last step"

I wonder if Fames was still moody, I guess even AI have monthly periods?

"uhh... Fames?"

"YES? HOW CAN I HELP?"

she's fine now, I see

"Ohw.. you see, I build a T-800 only skynet is lacking..."

Rohan explained to Fames the progress he made, that in the first 2 days he can't seem to understand how this robot's body work, so instead of understanding the existing design, he made his own. he created an artificial organs that humans used, he saw it's designs at the academy and he tried building all the internal organs, lungs, nervous system even including the blood veins using metal, plastic, glass and rubber, all of that was functional artificial organs, he also created a designed of his own brain and build it.

he have the idea how to design an artificial brain through the years he was been with Fames and ask all his questions about it to her and also the professors in the academy given him tips about it in the past. He also had finished programming course, so creating an AI program was not a problem to him as he also been living with AIs

All the parts Rohan build was installed in the skeletal frame of the robot.

"Soo... what I want to try is, using that data file thingy in my T-800?"

"THAT IS A GREAT IDEA! LET'S DO IT, BRING IT HERE IN THE POD AND I'LL TRY TO MAKE IT LIVING THING"

Rohan excitedly lay the Robot in the POD next to the corps of the armored guy and closed the POD after.

Fames activated the medical nanotech of the VR POD as she was installing the Data File in the AI Rohan put in the robot.

nanobots extracted the muscles, fat, skin, blood and cells in the armored guy and transplanted it to the robot all of what the robot lacking was provided from the armored guy's body.

And to make sure the artificial organs to function properly,

Fames calculated the exact electricity it needed to be provided and recalibrate it according to her calculations, she also installed the power source for the artificial organs, which is a quantum battery, this battery will never die as long as it's not damage, it can last forever.

The installation of Data File took 12 hours , as Fames was about to announce the success operation, she noticed something odd

"ROHAN I THINK THE BODIES OF THE ROBOT AND ALSO THE GUY WEARING AN ARMOR EMITTED THE SAME TYPE OF RADIATION YOUR WAS RELEASING JUST NOW"

Fames informed Rohan

"Hmmm!? Is it becoming a zombie?"

Rohan who got bored waiting was playing with the black crystal ball that the black skeleton owned. was startled about what Fames said.

"MAYBE NOT, I'M NOT SURE, THE RADIATION DISAPPEARED."

"So... what now?"

"SHOULD I WAKE IT NOW? I JUST FINISHED THE DATA FILE INSTALLATION AND THE OPERATION IS SUCCESSFUL"

"Do it!"

Rohan was excited and full of smiles like a father waiting for his child to be born in the operating room.

Fames send an electrical wave at the back of it's head to it's central operating unit, as it's heart started to beat, Fames activated the Electromagnetic Radiation and send nanobots inside it's body, to observe each part of the body and it's cells.

The POD slowly opened as Rohan was carefully observing the robot inside

"Huh? Fames is that the robot we created?"

What was inside the POD, instead of a humanoid skeletal robot was a naked, tall red haired guy and beside it was a white skeleton and some internal organs

"YES, BUT I DID SOME ADJUSTMENTS, DO YOU NOT LIKE IT?"

"What are you talking about? I don't like it! I loved it! It's awesome! now it kinda feel like I created the real T-800. when will it wake up?"

"WAIT FOR MOMENT IT'S STARTING TO BREATHE"

As Fames said that the red haired guy's chest expands, as Rohan saw that

"IT'S ALIVE! IT'S... ALIVE!"

Rohan exclaimed while spreading his both hands, walking slowly towards the POD.

the red haired robot slowly opened it's eyes and look at Rohan and it's surrounding

"Speak, my child"

Rohan instructed the robot.

"Lady Fames?"

The Red haired guy replied with a cool voice.

Rohan laughed as he heard that

"Look, I am your father"

"My what? what are you talking about? Where is this place?"

The AI Rohan installed in it was Bellum, it was the first AI he created. Bellum was programmed to substitute him playing Heavens Empire for his character to level up faster and continue quests if he was to do some other things.

Though he created Bellum, The red haired guy didn't recognized Rohan as his appearance was different in Purgatory compared to reality.

"THIS PLACE IS THE NEURAL AI RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT LABORATORY, STATE YOUR NAME"

"Fames what's wrong with him? why can't he recognize me?" Rohan was hurt that it only recognize Fames

"I... I am...is my name Bellum no is it Mergon Kerghood?"

the confused guy sat and closed his eyes as memories and his program was just starting to integrate...

"So that's how it is.. This guy has a problem in the head. is it Fames?"

"GIVE HIM A MINUTE, THE MEMORIES OF IT'S EGO WILL BE ADJUSTED AUTOMATICALLY AS IT PROGRAMMED" Fames explained

"Hey dude I'm Rohan, I created you"

Rohan announced proudly as he pointed at the red haired guy

"Rohan?... My Lord?"

ask in bewilderment

"Yeah, the one and only!" Rohan answered

the guy suddenly jumped out of the POD and assumed battle position in front of Rohan

"wa.. what did I do?"
