ORGANIC INTELLIGENCE

INTO THE WORLD 1

The words echoed in John's head long after they concluded and their grand implication.

He began to look around the room in earnest and subconsciously,his eyes glowed a bright blue color and his vision changed and everything seemed to be laid bare before him.He noticed a defect in the otherwise flawless wall opposite the one where the hologram was displayed.

'BASED ON CURRENT INFORMATION ACQUIRED,IT IS IMPRUDENT TO OPERATE UNDISGUISED UNTIL FURTHER INFORMATION IS COLLECTED.INFILTRATION MODE ACTIVATED.ONLY ONE OF THREE MOST SUITABLE CHOICES IS TO BE SELECTED BASED ON GENERAL APPEARANCE OF SUBJECT.FACIAL AND BODY RECONSTRUCTION MAY BE APPLIED FROM THE INTERNAL DATABASE TO FIT COMPLETELY WITH SOCIETAL BIAS DEPENDING ON SELECTION MADE.SELECTION OF ALIAS WILL BE DONE AUTOMATICALLY IF NO CHOICE IS MADE IN 20 SECONDS.COUNTDOWN INITIATED' an emotionless voice intoned.

"What is happening?"John wondered.Why do you suddenly pop up when you are least needed but completely ignore me every chance you get?"

Suddenly he sees three selections pop up in mid-air

PHARMACIST- Medicines can give life or take it.One man's medicine is another man's poison. Explore the beautifully complex world of pharmaceuticals and get lost in the world of endless concoctions.

STUDENT - Knowledge is an endless sea and no one knows of its boundaries.Become distinguished among your peers,awe others with your ingenuity.Rise through the ranks of society and gain recognition among the elites within society.

SOLDIER - War is the true catalyst of civilization.Rise through the ranks by the might of your fist and by the wit of your head.Because at the end of the day might makes right.History belongs only to the winner,all others will fade in the river of time.

'20...19...18...17..'that irritating mechanical voice counted."STOP, I COMMAND YOU TO STOP RIGHT THIS MOMENT!" but the voice continued on completely ignoring him.Finally it reached 7 and he shouts,"I CHOOSE OPTION 1!"The displays disappear and giant words spelling 'CONGRATULATIONS' appear.

"You..." John grits his teeth.Why don't you ever listen to me.He feels like throwing a tantrum but realizes that it is in fact useless.He breathes out heavily from frustration.He vows to get back at the voice whoever it belongs to.

The wall he was looking at shifts and a hidden wardrobe is revealed.He selects a random set of clothing.He picks up a white button up shirt that auto-adjusts itself to fit snuggly to his well built frame.He also picks up a black pair of trousers and black shiny shoes and a blazer to finish up the look.

'Not bad but not great either,but this will do for now.'

He approaches the monitor and touches it concentrating.Almost immediately he opens his eyes with an excited gleam and speaks out aloud with a voice reminiscent of George,"Door open."and a door opens from below revealing a set of stairs.Without hesitation John takes the stairs two at a time,eager to reach his destination leaving the room silent once more.
