Chapter One
It had begun. The quiet hum of the circle of computers in the round room competed with excited breathing of the six people in the lab. It was a typical facility run by the government funding programs. Windowless, sterile white painted walls and a maze of blank corridors with special keyed doors going on for miles. The activity was in a gigantic, round room. The dim lighting shone on the dull grey of the metal machines flashing their colored lights. All twelve eyes watched the participants in the experiment behind the two-way mirror. The observers looked like white-robed monks, silently taking notes on their metal clip-boards. Behind the glass, partitioned from one another are twenty people ranging in age from eighty-five down to a young child. All are semi-reclined on tables, electrodes strapped to their foreheads, in semi-darkness except for a single greenish-blue beam focusing on their closed eyes. The wiring plugged into a console next to them; this in turn fed into the computers inside the observation lab. Ribbons of EEG tapes fall into separate baskets with the names of each of the participants monitored.
Five men watched their group of four selected subjects, standing aside is the woman in charge of the project. Each of the men has a special note-board for everyone assigned to them, she however has but one name on her list: Lisa; age five years, two months, three days, plus the name of the project-NEPTUNE, date: 11/3/.

A balding, muscular observer stated, and the shut-off process went into effect. His voice was filled with frustration and displeasure. He turned his attention to his other responsibilities.
"Are we
