MicroTech: Academy Of Idiots

A Powerful Organization 

After Crag left, Lui sat to digest what his friend told. 

For some time, he was simply sitting and thinking, long later he shook his head and just stood up, and walked around to get some warmth, the weather was getting colder.

"Master, should I start the central heating system of the house?" Toto asked.

"No need, I need to do some research, and want your help," Lui was free after exams and the contract of the project.

It was time to decide a more crucial matter, he promised Hyal that he would send back her. 

Before preparing, he wanted to do some research about the Lost District. 

He cannot simply visit it without knowing it and what kind of problems he could face there. 

"Sure master, what help I can render?" Toto was ready to do anything much less a research. 

"I wanted to know about Lost District, what kind of place it is," Lui stood near coffee machine and filled a mug of coffee. 

"Nearly twenty years ago, the government officials came to know about few organizations working in the Lost District, these organizations were running their personal genetic labs in the name of academic learning," Toto refreshed the data on the mini screen and told.

"What was the purpose behind such study and why the Lost District is considered hellish place?" Lui could not understand. 

"The leading organization was strong and wealthy, despite the several warning from the government, it kept the illegal research and experiments, according to a group of researchers, it is said that a human body is weaker and if it was properly designed with the genetic coding, they could perform better in all walk of life, this organization gathered all those researchers and now the Lost District has become center of their power and research, this is the reason that government declared this district an illegal place," Toto briefly explained. 

Now Lui was more puzzled, if the place was such horrible and illegal then how the previous Lui happened to visit it and brought a girl from there for experiments? It looks so ridiculous. 

Unless...

The girl was willing to leave the place? For some reason? 

But if it was true then why Hyal wanted to go back again? 

"Can anyone visit Lost District or it is illegal too?" Lui asked Toto. 

"Only government officials and anyone working in prestigious company when the company has already banned then they cannot visit this place, and common people can still go there at their own risk and security," Toto related from the article circulated few years ago about the Lost District. 

Actually, not a single reputed institution or company would allow it's people to visit it, if anyone does visit, he will be suspiciously looked upon. 

Lost District has population of two million yet ignored by the government and left at the mercy of these organizations. 

The main cities were strictly kept under the law and order of the government while the small district were neglected, if questioned, government will always excuse to not have much resources to face all the strong elements ruling individually by force. 

....

Lost District:

The streets were unpaved, the old traffic signals were not working any more. 

Common people tried best to not encounter any human resource, and mind their own business.

That's why most of the time streets looked deserted, people has learned to live in the uncertainty and harsh circ.u.mstances, after all they were clearly told that government has abandoned them. 

They cannot even protest against this cruelty. 

Because government abandoned the population of two million, mostly were living in poorty. 

There were many who has faced starvation many times and they were forced to sell their children, it was not a direct selling but allowing those researchers to experiment, the child can still live with his parents. 

The organization who bought these children pay a monthly to his parents.

The organization pay higher price of those children who have some special attribute, for example rare blood type, for those who born with ability to see in the darkness. 

Until now there was a rare child who happened rarest of all, he wakes up with the sunrise and fell dead right after the sun set* every day his parents were paid much wealth when the researchers found out about him. 

But mostly parents were forced to sell their children because of hunger. 

Though there were many illegal organization in the Lost District but the Genetic Evolution was the strongest one, it has lot of wealth to support itself and so many ongoing researches. 

It was the first organization who introduced human resources**

Today was a meeting between the researchers and the owners of the organization.

"Through our research we have proved that the genetic coding can do wonders and I am sure if we find some special and gifted children we will be able to learn our weakness in the depth," the researcher spoke very confident. 

He was wearing a dull white coat and the spectacles barely hung of the nose tip, usually he suggested many people to wear advanced focal mirrors adjusted under the metal round metal frame while he himself use a simple old fashioned one for the eyesight. 

It was because he was aware of the fact that old fashioned glasses were lot more healthy for eyes and eyesight rather than the advanced frame, it provided extra clarity and mostly it was adjusted near the eye which was harmful for the eyesight. 

He was just following his dream to make the people addicted with the scientific inventions and resemble like other worldly advanced life form while the truth was until now, no advanced life form was found during atmospheric expeditions. 

It was mere daydream of some mad heads till now. 

The poor people were paying the price for the madness of these mad heads. 

If they were given chance to kill these researchers, they would gladly kill them. 

"What happened to your research about the blood evolution of the genes?" the owner asked in dry voice. 

He was not interested to listen his bland theories, he only want to see results, the black market only want product. 

So the owner has established this organization to sell the products to the black market, whether the product was human does not matter. 

The researcher went silent, he looked at his fellow, "The experiment ran away four months ago and till this day, we are unable to find out her," he tried his best to not appear scared but he really fear the owner of this organization, it was because of his appearance. 

They had a quarrel in the black market years ago and he got severally injured, at that time he used to work under the black market boss. 

He lost one of his eye, the lower lip was damaged to the extent that it never returned to the real shape even after many surgeries. 

His shoulder was replaced and right hand fingers were synthetic, there was an artificial device which in first glance looked like a bullet perhaps made a hole in the c.h.e.s.t but it was a device. 

Later he took revenge. 

Now he own this organization and all the bosses of the black market fear him. 

He was able to establish his fear among the whole district, his next target was to invest in the research of blood genes, many times he feared to look at the mirror, he hate his present appearance so much that he again and again wanted to kill his enemy who was already dead. 

If these researchers were able to develop something valuable, he might be able to regain his human look. 

"What bullshit you are spouting? Do you know how much I paid for her?" the owner got angry, he stood and punched on the table and the table turned in to smithereens. 

The researchers also stood up, they were scared out of wits. 

They knew that the owner was giving more attention to this research and he has already mentioned that if the research need unlimited resources, he would not hesitate, the only focus should be to find out the way to change his present appearance. 

"Did not you send the human resources?" he asked angrily. 

"We sent them and they searched in the near district but they could not find her, now they are sent to search the city, they would report in a week," the researcher immediately explained before this owner could bury them along with their research. 

The owner sat back and nodded. 

He was angry but not mad, he knew that these researchers would definitely able to develop sooner or later. 

But if he killed them, it would be useless. 

The meeting room turned silent until the owner left. 

After he went away, the scientists heaved a sigh of relief.
