Chapter Two: Speaking with the Dead

            In Cadmus, making a mistake would lead to punishment. Make a big enough mistake you’d be disposed of. Even so, it still doesn’t change the fact Cadmus was the first place where he was taught and raised. One cannot simply just toss away what they learned with the flick of a wrist.

He always thought there was nothing after death. Cadmus never bothered with philosophy or spiritual needs. All they needed was obedience and nothing else. Yet, when he left Cadmus, he learned about religion, about beliefs and about theories of what might be after death.

That was if there was an afterlife.

There was never a moment that he thought of taking up any of these beliefs, even if there was a chance that made him a little closer to normal people. He was a product from Cadmus, even if it existed, it won’t apply to him… A creation from science.

            Man, I wish Beyond was here.

Chapter Two: The Voice, The Vision

                  One year since Project Meta’s defection Beyond was assigned to the Special Reconnaissance department. While his age exempted him from active field duty, his technical and detective skills were continually exercised in place. Using the voice changer from the Las Vegas crisis, he relayed intelligence and guidance within Cadmus and occasionally other government operations.
