One Step Further
Every monkey brought to the operating table had undergone specialized brain surgery to induce a hereditary structural feature resembling that of the Samos Family. Its function was unknown; the only thing they could confirm was that this structure in the monkeys' brains was not hereditary.
Many creatures didn't make much use of their brains. Even among advanced primates like humans, the brain's development was only in the single digits. Many areas of the brain remained dormant, and even the greatest geniuses barely used twelve percent.
Adding something that hadn't originally existed to a monkey's brain wouldn't cause the animal much trouble.
It was like going to sleep and waking up as if nothing had happened.
Yet this tiny abnormality had condemned the Samos Family to centuries of living hell.
Whether God's will truly existed somewhere beyond mortal sight was something no one could say for certain.
The monkeys, who should have fallen unconscious, were still full of energy, struggling relentlessly.
Their insomnia counteracted the sedative, canceling out its effects.
"Stage two: inject the sedative and release the ether."
Doctor Budani controlled the experiment with practiced precision.
The experimental area was completely sealed. Each monkey was enclosed in its own double-layered, bulletproof glass chamber with an internal air-circulation system. A sterilization procedure could be initiated immediately, combining ultraviolet light, disinfectant spray, and ozone. If necessary, highly corrosive alkaline or acidic solutions could be pumped in. Not even flesh, bone, bacteria, or viruses would remain. The bodies would be completely destroyed.
That way, if the monkeys' brains exploded as they had in the initial experiments, there would be no risk of accidentally spreading viruses to anyone.
At the same time, the setup ensured that the ether sprayed into the chambers couldn't leak out and affect the people in
