The Mech Touch novel Chapter 3927

Chapter 3927 MTA Habit

After a lengthy talk, Master Dervidian finally stood up and floated above the deck.

"We have spent enough time talking and speculating about your transcendence glow. Before we go into detail about our action plan, I must insist you demonstrate your invention to us first. We would have a much better understanding of what we are dealing with if we can see how the topic of our discussion works in a controlled environment."

Ves frowned. "The thing about the transcendence glow is that it works best in less-controlled environments. I doubt that it can succeed at inducing breakthroughs on mech pilots that are just sparring against each other."

"That should not be a concern. We have already made the right preparations to conduct a number of illuminating experiments. Even failed attempts to induce breakthroughs can provide us with useful information. Let us proceed to the first testing area."

Ves stood up and followed the floating MTA Master to the exit.

They instantly entered a lab compartment after passing through a secure hatch. Ves was befuddled for a moment because he was pretty certain that they should have entered a corridor instead.

It was that dratted seamless teleportation tech at work again!

The lab was already prepped to conduct a small-scale experiment under the highest security protocols. The place was already secure by default, but the people in charge had dismissed most personnel and implemented additional guarantees to minimize the risks of leaks.

Only a handful of lab personnel were still present to assist with the tests. Ves cast a questioning look at the MTA Master.

"They can be trusted, Mr. Larkinson. They have worked for me for decades without issue. The reason why I am willing to confide in them is because I have taken special measures to ensure that they cannot divulge sensitive secrets."

Ah. Ves almost forgot that Dervidian was a Transhumanist. That meant he should be extremely good at modifying people. If not, then he could surely hirely the right specialists that could perform this job.

There was no need to question the word of a Master further. Ves instead directed his attention back to the hypermodern lab facilities. Although much of the equipment and machines were hidden, he was sure that this was a great place to conduct all kinds of scientific trials!

Right now, the set up of the laboratory was roughly similar to his own. There was a large control chamber that provided a good overview of the main testing chamber.

As Ves and Master Dervidian approached the transparent windows, they both spotted a prominent organic statue in the far side of the main chamber!

"I see that you have already taken the initiative to bring over my Aspect of Transcendence." Ves said with an annoyed twitch.

The MTA's mastery of teleportation technology was so great that it could take away any material possession at any time without asking first!

"We have taken the initiative to transfer this crucial object to our ship so that we can conduct extensive studies on its properties and its glow." Master Dervidian stated. "Do you mind if we retain possession of it? We need a direct carrier of this glow and I do not believe you wish to surrender the Everchanger and its expert pilot to our care."

"It's… fine." Ves answered while trying to maintain his cool as much as possible. "Feel free to borrow my Aspect of Transcendence as much as you like. I can make similar copies of it in organic and inorganic forms if you would like."

While that might be true, the significance of the Aspect of Transcendence was still great!

It was the original source of this particular glow. Not only that, the organic statue and its three 'brothers' were all special and remarkable because they hadn't rotted away despite the biotechs claiming that they should have decayed shortly after he departed the Life Research Association.

Ves had a strong hunch that any subsequent totems he made would never possess the special qualities of the original four Aspects of Lufa! Each of them were relics in his eyes that had only accumulated more properties as their glows continually affected their half-organic forms.

Still, it was not necessary for him to retain possession of this organic statue. He could reproduce this glow through multiple means, including channeling it directly by asking Lufa to temporarily descend upon himself.

"One is enough." Master Dervidian replied. "More is helpful, but it becomes exponentially harder to preserve their secrecy. In the interest of discretion, both of us should limit the amount of carriers that carry this specific glow at any time."

"I will keep that in mind. I will make sure not to create any additional carriers of this glow unless our studies truly require them." Ves promised.

It was in his best interest not to spread them around too much. The threat they pose to people and by extension the powers that be were too great. Ves would probably be in deep trouble if all of it came out one day!

After a short wait, the mechers conducted the first experiment.

A dozen lab animals ranging from ordinary mice to goats entered the testing chamber. Invisible force fields pushed them closer until they were well within the range of the Aspect of Transcendence.

Nothing happened to them despite exposing them to this dangerous glow for many minutes. Ves knew that there were many glows that were much more harmless that had a more obvious effect on animals!

"The transcendence glow has no effect on ordinary animals." Ves explained. "Non-sentient life and extremely simple life forms do not have the complexity of thought and awareness that can lead them to developing greater ambitions. They might not even have spiritualities that are sensitive towards this glow."

Dervidian nodded in understanding. "We have no reason to doubt you, but we wish to verify this result in person. It appears that you are correct thus far. None of the animals exhibit any unusual reactions."

A force field quickly pushed the animals out of the testing chamber.

Moments later, the next test subjects arrived.

Ves was surprised to see twenty different humans teleporting into the chamber at the same time!

Each of them wore simple, plain pale blue vacsuits that were stamped with serial numbers.

None of them looked too disturbed at being teleported to a different place all of a sudden. Ves believed that this was a regular phenomenon aboard the Paracelsus Optimus.

Although it was logical to move on with human trials, this setup was way too reckless!

"Uh, sir?"

"What is the matter, young man?"

"I think you are moving too quickly by exposing these people to the Aspect of Tranquility without any protection or preparation. Those people are at grave risk!"

Ves glanced at the timer. More than 60 seconds had gone by without an incident. The mechers should have teleported the test subjects away if they did not want to make a mess. _{freēwēbηovel.c૦m}
