Worlds Apart

You pick up one of the many books you have on the bookcase next to your bed, opening it and glancing through the pages.

The book talks about the genetic enhancements you and the others have received in comparison to the original. According to the book, you are all supposed to be stronger, faster, more intelligent than the person you come from. You are also supposed to be able to use mental abilities.

However, the book mentions nothing about the problems you have been seeing in the others. A chill goes down your spine as you remember seeing Dash12 coughing up blood two days ago. She was taken to the medical bay and you haven't seen her since then.

You're so caught up in your reading that you almost miss the knock on the door. When it comes again, you look up and stand up, placing the book on the bed.
