With the pull a lever, the fluid in the tube drained.
The abomination descended, leaving its ethereal weightlessness behind.
It was left slumped in the metalic floor before the tube lifted away.
It seemed drowsy with its movements, slowly gaining awareness of the world.
It began to try to get up, staggering like an infant.
Some of the unthinking androids had to assist it, preventing it from collapsing to the ground.
A few seconds later, it vomited more of the green substance and was able to stand upright.
Your creation was gigantic, even for being based on a dwarven female.
For the most part, it was covered by dark fur or bony-looking sheets.
Its digitigrade legs assisted by a barbed tail.
The exposed tubes and guts already covered in rune-carved flesh.
Her face, only retaining mantained the prominent features of its origin.
And bright eyes, harboring the success that had eluded Cedalion and Charon for so long.
Intelligence.
The newborn studied everything around it and focused its gaze on you two.
Charon's ceramic mask hid only expression, as the emotion was seen in the excited stutter that did not allow him to speak.
You didn't know what to say either.
"I...exist?" Said the creature feeling its being, becoming aware of itself.
It was unexpected, but understandable.
At what point is a child aware of his life? For your creation it was something abrupt.
How much knowledge had Charon imparted in its circuits? And it's brain?
"What do you remember?" You asked feeling a bit silly, maybe you should have prepared a speech?
How are you supposed to introduce yourself to a life you've created?
Were you a father now?
"I know... so much. I know you are my creators. I know I have circuitry full of information, I know I am a warrior.
And I have memories of a mercenary, captured by chimeras. But they are not my memories, she was so... weak."
Oh no.
You asked the next question, fearing that the creature in front of you would hate you all for what they had done to that dwarf.
"How do you feel?"
There was a bit of stunned silence, she flexed her hands.
"I feel amazing, Creator."
You looked at Charon, who had disappeared back to his papers and computers.
Trying to understand what he saw, compared to what he had planned and checking that everything was in order.
What's the plan?
>Start slowly producing this chimeras in favor of the old ones.
>Keep making the old ones, you still need to see how this one works out.
>Write in
And what is the plan with It?
>Leave it in the laboratories, it is a place that can contain it and make sure its stable.
>Take it to the fortress, keep a close eye on it
>Take it to the fortress, let it Shadow Cedalion for a while, learn the ropes.
>Write in.
>Do you want to ask/talk about something with the newborn Chimera?
