"Well? What are you waiting for? Get in"
The woman hissed at him, wildly gesturing for him to get into the Chrysalis; His feet instinctively moved away from her, and the Cocoon-like pod - his robotic arm raised to shoot her with the laser beam forming in his robotic palm
The woman scowled but before he could move she had shoved him towards the Chrysalis her strength almost inhuman for a woman her size; He stumbled forward the activation of his laser beam cancelled from the abrupt movements he was resisting to get into the Cocoon-like pod
"Get away from me!"
He snarled, his voice sharp and filled with fury- he was about to physically push her and walk out but he suddenly felt a cold sensation break down from his neck and below; his eyes rolled back as he fell on the floor with a loud thump.
The same woman stood behind him, having knocked him unconscious
"Bastard doesn't even listen even after getting his memory wiped clean"
She murmured under her breath, annoyance as she knelt checking the breathing of this Cyborg who was now knocked out cold.
It took some effort for her to throw his unconscious body on a mattress that was laid at the corner of the room
She paced around rubbing her face in frustration before finally slumping on a chair- her hands reaching to take the book that was placed on the table next to her. In a moments matter she was immersed in reading the novel she had purchased; not a single glance directed towards the Cyborg who was on the mattress like some dead weight
*Him*
My eyes opened after a long while, and everything was blurred- a dull ache in the back of my head, my robotic hand helped me sit up although I had to lean against the wall for support to even sit properly my eyes scanned over the room searching for that woman who had knocked me cold and left me here.
She was there; resting on the chair her eyes closed. Now that I took a closer look at her, she seems to be around her early thirties. Did I know this woman before?
The question stayed in my mind for a long while until she opened her eyes and stared at me blankly
"You're awake"
I nodded leaning against the wall for support, I can't make any harsh or reckless moves now, not yet. She seems to hold some sort of knowledge of who I am
"Who are you?"
I asked again this time, my voice coming out rather hoarse- she threw a plastic bottle of water towards me while rolling her eyes
I quickly took the bottle, unscrewing the cap and quickly drinking the water to soothe my dry throat.
"I am Sylvia, the woman who creates Cyborgs like you. Don't look so shocked as the only people I turn into Cyborgs are the ones beyond saving"
I choked on the water that I had been drinking, my eyes wide as I stared at her. She huffed and leaned back in her chair, staring at me with disinterest
"So you're some sort of mad scientist?"
I couldn't help but ask, staring at her as she raised a brow and shrugged
"I suppose that is what they call us now."
"There are more of you?"
I asked warily seeing her suddenly get up and walk towards me- this woman was nuts but I am in no condition to walk out while I'm already injured, my jaw clenched in annoyance as she once again gestured for me to get in the Chrysalis.
"I can't."
My voice came out rough and annoyed. She sighed in exasperation before speaking to me again while tapping her foot impatiently
"Enough is enough, get in the Chrysalis. I won't do anything that'll harm you; Though I can't guarantee that if you refuse to cooperate. Get in and it will heal you"
She ordered sternly while expectantly waiting for me to get up, When I didn't she snapped her fingers- a mechanical arm came out from the wall- it was large, perhaps thrice the size of me now out as if waiting for her command; she pointed at me, and before
I could defend myself the arm had already shoved me inside the Cocoon-like pod and just like that, my consciousness faded once
more.
Two days had already passed by the time when I finally regained my consciousness again- I was tired, but after getting out of the Chrysalis I looked over my robotic arms which were now fully covered in e-skin. They mimicked the elasticity and softness of human skin perfectly. At least I could blend in now
