Experimenting[/sub]

[color=gray]The mute corpse twitched and shifted, unintelligible mutters & mumblings leaving his as the good doctor shoved a 4 inch long spike into the base of it's skull into it's brain. The spike was attached by cable to a rather impressive looking computer that had been designed out of both Earth parts and parts from The Outsiders. John had been at this for several weeks now. He had instructed Viktor to bring him as many mute corpses as he could find and carry. 

John was gathering information from dead mute grey matter with a method of retrieval he referred to as 'cereberal data extraction'. By stimulating the subject's pain receptors with electrical and chemical aid, certain information could be extracted based on certain neural patterns that John deemed worth extracting to the computer. However, the longer the corpse has been dead, the less information he could retrieve. For the moment, the process was only possible with dead brain matter. John was currently researching methods to extract information from living brain tissue but progress was slow going. As John had explained, a death brain showed no resistance even if it wanted to. A living brain, had great resistance both physically and mentally.

As the computer did its work, John focused his attention on a severed mute he had recovered from a spent corpse. The second problem with extracting information from a living mute was that there were certain security systems embedded in their brain. Every time Viktor had attempted to capture a mute alive, they detonated from some form of condensed plasma from within the skull. John had theorized that some sort of signal sent from the Spire caused the detonation. If John could figure out how to remotely disarm the explosive than he could leave a mute vulnerable to extraction. John placed the head in a cube designed to contain the blast and an electromagnetic pulse. He then pressed a button on the camera of one of his frame's arms.

"[B][color=lightblue]Research log number 5105 of Doctor Johnathan Reid, date is the 20th of April of 2041. Today I will be attempting to disarm the plasma charge that has been surgically implanted in seemingly all Outsider mutants. Subject has detonated when exposed to infrared, microwave, and radio based tampering and has shown to detonate when attempts to extract occur. I will be detonating an electromagnetic charge and record my findings[/color][/b]" he said to the room. John wielded the remote and pressed the trigger. An electrical flash occured, followed by detonation of the explosive. John sighed.

"[B][color=lightblue]Attempt number 8 is a failure. Like the other attempts, subject's explosive detonated almost immediately. Further research required. End log[/color][/b]" he said with a sigh of agitation. Another disappointment. Oh well. He hadn't failed 8 times, he had simply found 8 ways to detonate the explosive in a mute skull. Not unhelpful, simply not the results he needed. On to attempt number 9...[/color]
