Now Dr Stein hadn't expected ANYONE to be the recipient of the worlds
one and only EXCALIBER
bio-electric genetic accelerator chip,which had been the last parting gift from British scientists
before that island nation had been overrun by the zombies.
By the time EXCALIBER had been ready,Britain had totally collapsed and one
functioning intercontinental missle had been fired from its hidden silo by
Prince Philip,the last surviving royal.
The zombies had been pounding away at the barred palace doors with a heavy
log,and the aged royal had just managed to put EXCALIBER and its associated control chips into a
capsule.
Philip had just managed to push the <FIRE> button and the last sound Philip heard was the missiles rocket engines
firing up as the palace,he and the advancing zombies were blown apart
as the missile heaved itself into a darkening British sky as it headed over to the USA
and the last known location of Dr Albert Stein,the brother of the technology's inventor
Dr William Stein.
So there had been Dr Stein out for a walk at the USA military base when the sputtering rocket
carrying EXCALIBER came over and the capsule floated down on its parachute.
Now Dr Stein had known his brother over on Lindisfarne Research Institute had been
working on a genetic modifier and mass converter technology,but little else.
And by the time that dying rocket dropped Philips gift to the Americans at Steins feet
all the scientists who knew anything about EXCALIBER had been turned into munchies
for the British zombie population.
So what clueless Dr Albert Stein got was a technology he knew absolutely about except from what he could glean
from the hastily typed files his dying brother William had uploaded into those control chips that
accompanied EXCALIBER.
In those final dying days of the military at the abandoned military base
the soldiers had latched onto the British gift as their
last best hope.
So they'd assembled the motherboards and complex elecronic systems the
instructions from Dr William Stein had directed to control the EXCALIBER bio-electric genetic accelerator
technology.
Then another military base had radioed in that they'd
found some a anti-zombie weapon with proven results
and the military guys had bailed and abandoned the base
leaving Dr Stein with his late brothers unproven technology.

So when 19 year old Susan suddenly openned the door to Stein's office that night and said she was volunteering for the "treatment"
Stein nearly had a heart attack.
However he kept silent and listened ,fidgeting with his fingers
as Susan explained that although she was the older sister,she was a wimp,who up to
the zombie plague had been a
"blonde baby making bimbo obessed with her own looks" who had
got pregnant four years earlier whilst sleeping
with all the guys and had to give the baby up
for adoption.
Susan knew more about sex in bed then anything else and didn't
even know how to fire that hunting rifle she carried
or that pistol.
Basically the Worlds Least Likely Blonde To Be a Heroine
She was hoping the treatment could change that because in this new zombified world of
predators and prey Susan was definitely prey.
Stein knew that if she knew what the treatment entailed Susan and the rest
would walk off the base immediately,but
he ushered her into the operating room,where Susan gasped in horror at
the rows of amputation power saws,scapels,forceps,scissors and many other brutal human body tearing apart
ghastly devices of medical torture.
Stein again asked her if she wanted to go through with the treatment.
Nervously nodding Stein switched on the nine control consoles and then asked Susan to disrobe
and lay on the operating table.
He ignored her request to leave the room whilst she did so
and the girl realized modesty wasn't part of the treatment.
So she disrobed and lay on the table on her chest.
Dr Stein took a scapel,swabbed some alcohol at the base of her skull just where her spinal column
was and
showed her EXCALIBER for the first time.
Frankly it looked like a rather large hypodermic syringe with digital readouts along the side
and nine rather thick looking needles clustered around each another,something
like a pepper box revolver to some degree.
Susans heart was beating hard and the fear showed in her eyes
but she nodded <Yes> and so
Dr Albert Stein plunged the business end of the device into the flesh below the cut and pushed the red button.
<BOOOMMM>
It was very much a pepperbox and the nine nano-conversion needles
separated from the Ignitor and were kicked into Susans bone,muscle and flesh.
All Dr Stein could do was watch as the nine needles burrowed like moles into the host
and settled into nine different locations in her body.
Susan suddenly look all feeling of her arms and legs,and except for the nine loathsome things
crawling inside her never would have knwn she still had any senses left.
It was a sort of senseless limbo,with no sight,sound,taste,touch,smell
or sense of the passing of time.
Then the senses snapped back and Susan could see the awfully worried face of
Dr Stein just above her own,who ,once the 9 needles had been pushed into Susan,had
been a passenger along for a ride he had no control over
once he'd pressed
the <Ignitor> button on EXCALIBER
He giggled nervously as he realized he hadn't just killed his subject
and got the EXCALIBERized Susan her clothes.
This time he did leave the room as Susan got dressed again.
Then he came back in and explained the prescence of those nine
control consoles.
As he'd gathered from his late brothers notes,the nine needles controlled
nine different aspects of Susan's body
now and each control console directed a needle's function inside
of her.
