Sens Unique

In the dimly lit corridors of her subterranean laboratory, Dr. Kharnigore walked with purpose, her taloned steps echoing off the cold metal floor. The almost endless rows of glass tubes stretched out in neat lines, each one filled with a thick, viscous liquid that bubbled gently. The dim light barely illuminated the entities suspended within, each container was a bioform, a living weapon of her design, floating in a state of suspended animation, their forms twitching occasionally as if responding to some unknowable dream.

Dr. Gore moved slowly, almost reverently, as she approached each tube. Her fingers hovered over the holographic console beside each one, initiating a scan. The soft hum of the machinery and the rhythmic pulsing of the liquid were the only sounds in the room as she reached out with her power to assess the creatures genetic makeup. As the scans lit up on the screen, she observed the data with keen interest cross referencing it with information her senses had provided to ensure the systems were giving accurate readings. These were her creations, each one an intricate work of genetic and biomechanical engineering, and she took pride in their every detail.

Many of the bioforms were humanoid, some more monstrous in appearance than others but, some where truly alien in shape and function. All were designed for a purpose, whether for combat, labor, or experiments that only she and her backers could fathom. They shifted occasionally in their slumber, their muscles twitching under the skin, their eyes moving rapidly beneath closed lids. Dr. Gore smiled faintly as she observed them getting a feel for their genetic makeup. Each one was a step closer to perfection, each a testament to her hard work and passion for the craft.

As she continued through the storage facility, each lined with row after row of various makes and models, she could feel her anticipation building. Her goal lay at the end of this line. A large containment unit dwarfed the others around it, this one was heavily reinforced with dense plating encasing the container, with the words "Project: BEHIR." engraved upon its surface.

The containment unit was kept on ice, a soft fog enshrouded the container the creature housed within was obscured by the thick mist and cloudy viscous liquid that held its complex form. Even in its stillness, there was something profoundly unsettling about it, as if it were merely waiting for the right moment to unleash the potential violence stored within.

Dr. Gore paused before this container, her heart quickening with excitement as her taloned finger played gently across the glass's frosty surface. This was her latest and most ambitious project. A specialty design, a bioform unlike any other, born from a collaboration that still amazed her. Fractal's limb-mapping had been the key. Without her, this creation would have been close to impossible. The woman’s ability to visualize and manipulate the complex geometric mapping of a living brain had allowed them to graft additional limbs onto the bioform without compromising its structural integrity or functionality. The result was a creature with a multitude of limbs, each one perfectly integrated into its body, that should allow for great feats of strength while maintaining a fluid like grace.

She reached out with her power feeling out the projects nervous system and carefully grafted genes, even as she activated the scanning process, she could feel the neurons in it brain firing, "its, dreaming." she whispered, ignoring the systems as it reported its results. The creature stirred, its limbs shifting slightly in the liquid as if aware of her presence. It was massive, its form coiled and twisted, it radiated a sense of barely restrained violence, and yet Dr Gore could not help but appreciate the elegance in its design. It truly was a masterpiece.

Dr. Gore couldn’t help but smile widely, a rare expression for her. She was lucky, indeed. Not just to have Fractal’s expertise, but to have her as a partner in these endeavours. Fractal’s work was meticulous, her mind a font of enthusiasm with an almost inexhaustible number of outside of the box solutions that complemented Dr. Gore’s own ruthless precision. Together, they were creating something unprecedented, something that could change the world—or destroy it.

She leaned closer to the glass as her tail swayed in excitement behind her, her breath fogging the surface slightly. “You’re debut is going to be, magnificent.” she whispered softly to the creature inside.

The creature’s form stirred becoming clearer for a moment, a flash of sinewy muscle, the sharp outline of claws and interlocking plates, the faint outline of eyes that had yet to open. Then it was gone again, lost in the shadowy depths of the container. But that brief glimpse was enough. Dr. Gore knew that this latest bioform was yet another great step on the road to organic perfection.

Turning away, she continued her inspection of the other tubes, but her thoughts remained on the creature she had just left behind. She would need to confer with Fractal soon, to go over the final adjustments before awakening this newest creation. There was still much to do, but she was confident that, with Fractal by her side, they would achieve something truly extraordinary.

As she reached the end of the row, Dr. Gore allowed herself a moment of satisfaction. These were her creations, her legacy. And with Fractal’s help, that legacy would reshape the world, one way or another.
