Morgan! Page #2

---

It's an "it."

Oh, you're wrong about that,

miss weathers.

She's smart.

She's smarter than any of us.

But that's not what makes

Morgan special.

There was joy in her heart

before we shoved her back in that box.

You haven't met her?

Not yet.

You'll see.

You will. You really will.

Nothing here is a foregone conclusion.

I'm just looking for some answers.

Some information.

You're a liar.

There's a smile on your face, but...

I can tell what you are.

You're a goddamned assassin.

Get better soon.

No, I'm sorry.

It's these lousy drugs.

I'm not myself.

She's a good girl.

She just got it all mixed up,

just for a moment.

It can happen to anyone.

It can.

Feel better.

Dr. ziegler.

Miss weathers.

Pleasure.

Yes, absolutely.

It's unfortunate your stay

has been needlessly extended.

That's okay, doctor. We'll adjust.

Why don't you get me up to speed?

Yes. Please.

The creation of synthetic DNA

was the relatively simple half

of the equation.

The second half is where

it gets a little more tricky.

Like a magician,

we tricked the neural network

into accepting

our nano into its ranks,

to alight in its midst.

Then during the incubation period,

the nano begins to introduce

its own language,

its own commands.

The growth rate of the organism

gradually accelerates as it reacts to

and reproduces the new stimuli.

Yes, I have read the material, doctor.

Yes. Of course.

Well, as you know,

Morgan was our third attempt.

Our first full-term subject developed

internal features externally.

It's not working. It's dropping.

It expired not long after

its so-called birth.

No.

And then the second...

It exhibited more complete

physical growth,

but it was plagued by mental issues

in its development.

This only strengthened our decision

to start with a more

emotionally cognitive specimen.

Then,

after two years, we finally had our...

Our little breakthrough.

Yes!

Hi.

We knew right away

that Morgan was very special.

Very alert, very responsive.

You are!

Her intelligence grew steadily.

Advanced comprehension, growth rate.

- Are you ready?

- Within a month, walking and talking.

She was exactly what we intended,

a hybrid biological organism

with the capacity for

autonomous decision-making

and sophisticated emotional responses.

No, Morgan. Come back!

I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you!

Morgan, look over here.

Look at this! Do you see? What's that?

I got three.

Isn't it amazing?

Like a nice little...

It's her first birth...

Its first birthday.

It exceeded our...

Our wildest expectations.

A great day.

Special day.

I'd like to discuss

the incident, if that's okay.

Yes.

What would you like to know?
