OK, just relax your arm.

Relax your arm. Relax.

Look over there.

Look over there.

It didn't hurt.

Just relax.

Your head's going to be

a blank for a while.

All right?

Yeah.

Just breathe now.

Too dark.

No, it's not

going to be in a while.

Just breathe and relax.

That's it.

In a while,

it's going to be like...

being up there

with the stars, Jobe.

Like going to another planet.

You're going to feel a tingling

sensation in your hands...

but don't panic.

It's OK.

I'm right here with you.

It's all part of the game.

OK, here we go.

Cortex stimulation engaged.

Brain stem strobe enabled.

Is that my hand?

It's going to hit me!

No, it's not going to hit you.

Just relax. Just breathe.

Strobe velocity increasing.

Journal entry, May 10.

The electrochemistry

of his brain...

has responded

better than I'd expected.

I'm going to step up

the virtual treatments...

and increase the dosage

of nootropic drugs.

I should see escalations

in his brain patterns...

by the end of the week.

It's too late to turn back now.

Jobe, what's the matter?

I'm hungry.

Well, go eat.

His mind is

like a clean, hungry sponge.

Synaptic activity has increased

400% in less than a month.

His human brain is responding

to the nootropics...

and virtual stimulation more

rapidly than my animal subjects.

Go on! Go faster, Peter!

Go on!

I can catch you right now!

Come on and get me, Peter!

Come on!

I'm going to get you now!

You better not get too excited

'cause I'm getting you!

Look right there!

Come on!

I got you!

Game over.

Yes! You nailed it, Jobe!

You nailed it!

Whoa, that was sketched.

Finally some real competition.

Yeah, he got you that time,

didn't he, Peter?

Congratulations.

You just graduated

to the next level, Jobe.

Hi.

You got a horse?

What are you doing?

Why are you standing there

half-naked, exposing yourself?

What sort of perverted

behavior is this?

You should knock before

you come into somebody's house.

This is my house.

I pay the rent, and

I want to cash my checks now...

because I want to buy

some new clothes.

And I'm going

to buy some cowboy boots...

and I'm going to make

this place a ranch.

It's that Dr. Angelo, isn't it?

He's been feeding

the Devil in your head!

No, he hasn't!

I'll see to that.

You know,

you shouldn't hit people.

You shouldn't

hit people like that.

Very impressive.

Did you use the Project 5

formulas on this subject?

As a base.

But I've totally reconfigured...

both the nootropic and

the cyberlearning programs...

without aggression factors.

Of course.

That only makes sense.

I can't believe you

went ahead and did this, Larry.

Look at the comparisons.
