A/N: Before you become frustrated...

...Yes, I know this chapter is similar to the previous but it has to be so that you (yes you, Reader) can be introduced to Atmos Twelve.

Atmos Twelve a.k.a Sci-fi Sebby Stan. :)

Now that I have said what I needed to, on with the Sci-fi!

The year is 2118, one hundred and four years into your future (depending on when you read this). Earth is not the planet it used to be. The people are not as they used to be. You see, dear Reader, there is no such thing as illness. Illness is a word of the twenty-first centuary, it is not part of the world's vocabulary any more. Human Beings are no longer the organisms that they used to be, they are now engineered differently. How is this all possible?

Because they are now all chipped.

Microchips have been attached to everyone's spine, linking their minds to a main frame that stores all of their thoughts into a giant database. In laments terms, the main frame is basically a giant filing cabinet, containing everyone's memories like a digital photo album.

So how does that connect with the word 'illness'? Once technology was able to become this advanced, doctors began to be able to work out computer codes and programmes that would rewrite the illness someone was suffering with and cure them of it. Maybe not permanently but when the person became sick again, the doctors would just insert a USB stick into the memory ports located on the suffers right arm and download the cure again. Medicine was also a thing of the past.

After that break through, everyone started dedicating themselves to the practice of Science, wanting to learn more and more about the functions the human body had to offer. One of the most successful doctors was Doctor Hemms, who had devoted his life to studying the human brain and how it worked. His most recent project, Project Cranium, was all about observing how the brain thought differently when the host body was in the stages of developing the strongest, most complex of emotions, Love.

The way this particular test worked was by taking two subjects and linking them to a mini main frame, which instead of storing memories, it would provide them. The two humans would be made to experience various scenarios, forcing them to express a variety of emotions all linked to love. For example: jealousy, happiness, lust, devotion. All of the results would be meticulousy emained and then compared to other variations of similar outcomes. The conclusion to the project was to understand why Love effects us so much.

Prehaps it was time to meet the two latest subects?

He woke up, his eye lids fluttering like a butterfly's wings as his sedative was wearing off. The process was complete. He sat, aware of the change in his body. His right hand absent-mindedly felt for the puckered skin where his Microchip had been soldered onto his skin at the base of his neck. The male looked at the bed beside him. He analysed the body lying before him. The male's gaze drifted over their soft brown hair, their angelic face and their sweet, upturned lips .

A nurse walked in, she had cropped, flame red hair and large lilac eyes. "Hello." she spoke in a cheerful voice.

The male smiled back at the nurse. "Hello." he replied.

She seemed genuinely pleased with his reply. "Well, Doctor Hemms would really like to congratulate you, Atmos Twelve, on your completion of Project Cranium." the nurse beamed at 'Atmos Twelve'. "Your observation was most interesting, Doctor Hemms believes that your contribution to the Project will help us understand more about the human psyche."

Atmos Twelve nodded at the medical assistant. "Well, I'm just trying to help contribute what I can to the world of Science."

"And what a wonderful donation you and Asteroid Five have made."

Atmos Twelve gazed over at the still body of Asteroid Five . "Will she be awake soon?"

"She woke up early but I gave her a sedative to allow her body to rest, you both have been through quite an ordeal. She actually asked the same question regarding you. I told her that the other nurse of shift before me, wrote in her notes that she had to administer another dosage of sedative to you because during the end of the test, you became extremely distressed. Do you remember what happened near the end?"

Yes, he did. "She died."

The nurse gasped in shock, her eyes widening and a hand covered her mouth. "How awful for you both!"

The male nodded. "It was only a simulated reality, yet it all felt so real. I...I was devastated by her death...," he took a moment to read the Nurse's name tag. Celestial Ninety. "Nurse Celestial Ninety."

Celestial Ninety noticed Atmos Five staring at her name tag, she giggled. "I was born in the Angelic Era. Judging by your name the Solar Era?"

The male grimaced and nodded, always having hated his name. He decided to change the subject. "So what happens next?"

Nurse Celestial Ninety busied herself, checking over Asteroid Five's stats, making sure she was stable. "As soon as she wakes up," when she said 'she', she mentioned with her head towards the sleeping woman. "We'll allow you to discuss your options with Doctor Hemms. If he thinks you're ready to intergrated back into society, you'll be discharged and able to resume your lives as normal."

The brunette man stretched out his weary muscles. "That sounds okay to me." he glanced over at Asteroid Five. "So, hypothetically, say everything goes well, then Asteroid Five and I will continue our lives as normal and possibly never converse or socially mingle?"

"Well, that's really your choices," 'your' being Asteroid Five and Atmos Twelve's choice. "Some subjects find that they feel closer to their partner on this project than before, some even live out their simualted memories because of the powerful link they felt together." the nurse paused. "How are you feeling about the relationship you and she had?"

The male once penned 'Sebastian', considered how he felt towards the girl once known as 'Valerian'. He looked up at Celestial Ninety and smiled meekly. "I think I'd like to persue a relationship woth her."

Celestial Ninety's smile faltered. He had feelings for the female subject but they were not reciprocated by Asteroid Five, she mentally noted to tell Doctor Hemms of this difficult situation. This had never happened before. She also wondered if there was an opportunity to observe the development of this new situation. "Well," she cleared her throat. "I will have to discuss that with Doctor Hemms."
