R & D Fun (Zeni Solo)

Saki was now in the Reasearch and Development building which was within the Overwatch citadel. Now in his office, he was having a meeting with the head technician.



”Okay so what’s the current situation with all of the research and development of weapons, armor and training aids Bill?” He asked the brown human who wore a lab coat.


The Scientist then put a file on Saki's Desk and spoke, ”Well there seems to be some inconsitancies. The Weapons we made are top notch, we have the basic firearms with ballistics and the advanced weapons with plasma cores. We’ve intergrated the weapons to fire both ballistics and energy bursts. Your modified Desert Eagles, your sub-machine gun which is called a scorpion and your shotgun can fire ballistics and energy bursts as well. We have the firearms ready for shipment to the soilders of earth as well as other agencies. The research preformed on the firearms from earth and the energy weapons from the Saiyan Alliance for the weaker soilders has now been completed. We can mass produce these weapons for the sake of earth or outside agencies. We’re done with the designs of the firearms.”

Saki red the file, it had the costs and progress results of the Primera ran business. He looked over the file then replied to the scientist, ”Very well, it says in these papers that we have spent fifty thousand zeni on research and fifty thousand zeni on development of these firearms. It’s a little un-nerving that so much money was spent….either way I’m not worried, we’ll make up the profit in sales. Now tell me about the strength enhancing armor.”

The scientist then took a seat and began to talk to saki, ”Well the strength enhancing armor is still being tested. We have more then strength enhancing armor. We have a super soilder formula still being worked on. The test subjects have been showing some progress. The first subject had their cells shut down so we froze him and began to research the affect of the formula. We found that as the formula enhanced everything on the test subject…to the point where blood and white cells were being overtaxed and were shutting down. It took a week to find out how to arrest it.”

Saki then responded, ”Well what became of the analyist? What happened with the progress of the formula?”

THe scientist then yawned and replied to saki's questions, ”Well the thing is that we used humanoid dna to enhance the power of the human body…it was so strong that it was burning out cells. So we watered down the formula a bit and used reptilian dna. That kept the next test subject from dying but after a week, he started turning into a lizard…and the mind of the second test subject was affected, it was intence, we had soilders open fire and the subject kept regenerating. We then froze the second subject and began to reasearch the formula. We found that the formula wasn’t life threating anymore but we had varients of insanity in the neural stems of the test subject’s mind. It was really something. The cells were replicating but there was a chemical created from adding the reptilian dna which was making the brain more savage…to the point of being feral. It took 10 troops to hold it back before we could freeze it.”

Saki after hearing this thought for a bit then responded to the scientist, ”Alright and where are the test subjects being held? In the underground labs correct?”

The scientist then replied to the great Primera, ”Yes, in the underground lab. This really made the scientists think, they had to make a serum that was non life threating but at the same time, allowing the test subject to keep from turning into a feral lizard. We decided to use the refined formula but using chicken dna instead of lizard dna to help the mind of the test subject keep it’s thoughts and not turn savage.”


Saki now replied soon after hearing this news, ”And how did that go? Was it another failure or a success?”


The scientist then replied to the great Primera, ”It was great, we made a super soilder which was stronger then a saiyan elite! We did it and we kept analizing the tests, finding no problems in the physical or mental of the subject. It finally worked out, but something happened….”


Saki now was furious at what the scientist said to him, he now yelled; ”What happened? What went wrong? I thought this third trial would be a success! Why the fuck did it not work?”


The scientist then was a bit scared, not wanting to die or be replaced; he now replied. ”Well it seemed that instead of being feral or dying that the test subject had mental problems. He’d have headaches that we had pills to treat. We watched the medication we gave the subject. It seemed to work for a week but after the second week, the headaches got worst….and rage bursts would cause it’s power to spike somewhat while training. We upped the dosage of the medication we were giving it the second week until the test subject had a bloodclot in his mind from the upped medication, the subject died and we put him with the other failed subjects to experiment on.”


Saki shrugged, the subjects were beginning to mount up… ”So we have three failed test subjects…three accountable humans locked up in the underground laboratory I designed…tell me you found a way to fix the formula”



The scientist then spoke with a smile, ”Well we found out the problem. It wasn’t the subjects, it was the formula…we used your knowledge of seeing the power of a super saiyan close hand, you seeing nasu turning super saiyan and then you seeing Leena using the super saiyan transformation. We then decided to use saiyan dna for the formula. It was a long shot but we ran out of ideas. Now we used the dna we got from leena and began to reasearch a way to make a new formula”



Saki smiled, Leena’s DNA seemed to be the missing link for the super soilder formula or so the scientist said ”So you used my files, the dna of Leena as well as the former formula and failed test subjects to make a super soilder serum…I’m guessing you found a way to suppress the PTSD that Leena had and was suffering from correct?”



The scientist nodded, ”Correct, we also discovered that Leena’s illness was not because of mental abuse but stress on the mind from her saiyan powers...after a few days of around the clock working and reasearch, we found out that we not only had a super soilder serum but we found a way to use it to balance out PTSD…leena’s illness that she had. We then synthesised a formula and readied the next test subject to take the injection.”



Saki smirked, progress being a good thing in his eyes. ”So you used files I had, without my permission to make the serum….now tell me the results of this ‘fourth’ test subject…please.”



The scientist then replied once more. ”The test was a success, it seemed the formula balanced the negatives out without any mental trama to the subject…we’ve been watching him for weeks, analizing and testing the physical and mental limits of the subject until we realized that we finally had a success.”



Saki then smiled. ”Good, it seems that your lab work has been very rewarding to the Overwatch Citadel. You’ve done well in that aspect now tell me about the power enhancing armor.”



The scientist then turned the file on the desk of saki to the specs of the power enhancing armor. ”It wasn’t easy Mr. Digital, the armor kept breaking down and needed work. We then used nanoprobes in the power enhancing armor to maintenance the armor and keep it from being over stressed. It took weeks but the armor is close to being finished, soon every soilder will be as strong as a super saiyan…we just need more time to enhance and design the nessasary technology to mass produce it without it breaking down.”

Saki smirked, happy with what he was hearing. ”This is good news, how long will it take to intergrade the soilders and special ops team with this new technology.” Saki was worried, his scanners sensed Atsuko and Nasu fighting off in the distance. He didn’t want to turn on nasu but he needed to be ready for the worst, even if it ment moving the Citadel.



The scientist then replied. ”It’ll take awhile, to teach the troops how to use it, to make sure the suits don’t overheat and explode as well to make sure there’s no mental damage to the users of the suits, it’s remarkable but it’s gonna take awhile for us to perfect the technology in the power enhancing suits for long term battle I’m afraid. After 30 minutes, the suits overheat and shutdown.”



Saki listened,(There’s always a catch, 30 minutes until the suits burn out, fucking Kami-sama! Can’t I ever catch a break? This is gonna be bad if we get attacked, the troops only have half an hour to fight and engage the enemy if we use the suits now…great…) He thought to himself before replying to the scientist. ”Well, it can’t be helped. The super soilder serum isn’t ready, the suits aren’t ready….what about the battle mechs and pilot training you said that would be ready this week? This isn’t a fucking game man! It’s NOT A FUCKING GAMEEEE!! Now get this through your over educated head. I need my troops ready to defend this free market place that we named the Overwatch Citadel, we need forces ready to defend. I sense a battle is taking place and the victor can be announced at anytime! You don’t want to have this place turned to rubble, you like to drink, you like to smoke….you won’t find any booze or tobacco on the other side if you die. If you value your life, you’ve increase the speed of your ‘reasearch’ and ‘development’ and make some really fucking breakthroughs. You won’t be accepting failures!”



Saki then calmed himself down, remembering his place and position. He then replied to the scientist ”Work on mass producing the serum for the grunts. Get the super suits ready for the special ops team and get those pilots trained and ready to work the battle mech suits. I don’t care how much it costs or how long it takes. And also, we have surplus firearms and ballistics…have someone sell all the surplus in the warehouse. I want money made by the surplus put into reasearch and development….you hear me scientist? Get the word out for more soilders on earth. I want sober troops who can swing a sword and fire a gun….got it?”



The scientist then nodded ”Yes Primera, I’ll get to work on it this instant! Thank you for permitting me to live and giving me my orders sir…I’ll get right to the lab right away! Anything else?”



Saki then replied, ”Yes there is, get rid of the failed test subjects, they’re expendable and we don’t want the earth thinking that we’re selling out the human race. And do something about the power suits….i want them to last an hour before overheating: not 30 minutes, not 45 minutes..one hour! Is that to hard to do?”



The scientist replied ”No it’s not, It’ll be done.”



Saki then saw the scientist get out of his chair and he went to take the file back which saki put his right palm over it. ”This stays with me, good day to you scientist.” He said as the scientist left and closed the door behind him, leaving saki to overview the file that the scientist left for him.
