DAY AFTER DAY, LIKE A LIFETIME AWAY, I KEEP HOLDIN' ON
Just another exciting moment!
A youth of teenage years, dark of complexion and with bright marine hair pulled into dreadlocks. The youth was male, adorned in what could be considered casual clothing despite the rather sterile environment and the assortments of beakers and modules about him. A lab coat was worn over the shoulders like a cloak, the sleeves torn away and the WG symbol being bastardized to include a cog with wings. This symbol sat squarely between two incisions made into the fabric that allowed two wings, organic at that, to push through and flutter freely from the boy's back.
This was Ikarrus, a Skypeian and cyberneticist extraordinaire!
While to most, this island fortress would be akin to a prison- the young scientist was like a child in a candy shop, playing in the laboratory and with a nearly limitless budget for creating his ideas. This particular day was of import to Ikarrus, an experiment of combining a shark's electromagnetic sensory organ with the complex array of sensor modules he'd attached to a visor. This would allow (hopefully) whoever wore it to get a direct link up to their brain (via implant) that would appear as a series of electrical sparks in the general vicinity of things that gave off a bio-electrical signature. With tweaking, maybe it could even penetrate walls and give the wearer a tactical advantage!
The issue was...as of the moment, the visor effectively limited the visual acuity of the eyes proper. Seeing electrical signatures through walls and across vast distances was great, but if you can't see the barriers inbetween them...well, it was kind of useless.
As such, it was set aside for now. Not because it was going to be abandoned, but perhaps the more focused and individualized organ of the platypus would be better considering their vision? It was worthy of thought at the very least.
For now, he was tweaking the D.A.R.M.A. v1-v2 to try and include more dials but was experiencing a bad error of physical feedback of concussive force whenever a dial was activated above the current three maximum.
PHARAOH LEAP.
