Nurse Chase Bradford (26) POV 7:04pm
I walked up with the gang and turned as I got to the door... "All right, This will be the longest night, so do we wanna make bets on anything? Did 0, 1, or both of them fail to make it to bed? Is one of them lying in their own urine or poo now? How many times will we have to do empties?"
The other nurse and two CNAs rolled their eyes. "What? We might as well have a little fun. Right?" He pushed open the door to Frank's room announcing himself. Upon hearing the expected silence I walked in and confirmed Frank was in bed. "He's good"
We shuffled to the next room and did the same while entering David's room, he was slumped over the bed perpendicular to it. his gown falling down putting his rear in full view of everyone... "Heh, if we did place bets, how would we rule that?" I asked.
"He's on the bed." Candice replied.
"Yeah, but is he TO bed." Cheryl questioned. "I'd say no..."
"We don't know how he normally sleeps. This might be normal for him." Candace posed.
After a second we all just shrugged our shoulders, and I positioned myself by his head, "Who wants to help reposition him?"
Chelsea spoke up, "There's 4 of us, Candice grab his head, I'll take his middle, Cheryl swing his feet around."
"That's why they call us the C Squad! We get it done!" I said with a smile.
Within seconds David was flipped over, everyone shuffled and supported David as he was moved into a normal position on the bed.
"Wait, this guys a minor." I said after looking at his face. "He can't be 16 yet. I thought we couldn't weaponize kids."
"If you read the chart, this is a different experiment, not funded by our contract. Voluntary body switching with the other subject."
"Oh, yeah, after the 15th one read the exact same I stopped reading every word..." I explained as we hooked up the nanobot drip to one arm and a nutrient drip to the other. Then we attached a catheter and tried to position him comfortably before moving on to the next patient.
Frank was easier, he just needed the nanobot drip and catheter. "Wait, this guy is old." I said, remembering that the kid is going to look like this guy soon..
"Yeah, I am not sure why they volunteered, but they did." Chelsea said. "I think they were related somehow?"
"Wait, isn't this sorta immoral? The kids lifespan is going to drop significantly." I asked frozen in place.
"This is new technology, The process may shock every cell in their body causing them to stop aging and live forever. Then the is man stuck in a pubescent body and will never be able to drink or have sex, but the teen will be able to have a normal life." Chelsea shot back causing everyone to pause and look at her. "I'm just saying, we don't have any way of knowing if the outcome will be good or bad for them, so we don't know if this is moral or immoral. Human testing hasn't been done on someone in puberty yet, he might be the secret to immortality." Chelsea finished the catheter while Cheryl set up the Nano drip.
"Yeah, maybe." was all I could say. "Candice you take this guy, He's going to lose a ton of mass on a cellular level, expect the catheter to need nearly constant emptying. Cheryl you take the kid, he may pee a couple of times but keep an eye on his nutrient bag, he is supposed to get as many as he can take"
"Okay, alright."the two affirmed.
Chelsea and I went back to our posts, leaving the CNA's to manage, only to return at 7 am to remove everything.
