What ! And you said nothing !"carol was spitting mad now.

"There was cypher I could do that would modify the situation. You know I hate the whole construct and estimate of it."

"Oh sure you do, and you just detest the money it brings in too do n't you ?"

Jim knew nil he could say at the moment that would serve so he kept hush. He did n't want to press with her, and certainly not in a public bar. People were already looking at the them. It was plain to all that the young couple were having a nasty fight.

"I 'll be right field back, and you can use some of your uncles, money to get me another drink, a reduplicate !"

Jim nodded as Carol slipped out of the booth and walked to the ladies room. Stomped was more like it, but in her little Negro dress, stomping or not, she looked really sensational.

Jim got the drink and was sitting at the mesa waiting for Carol to rejoin. Christmas carol opposed the new Cyberdization legal philosophy, which allowed criminals to be sentenced to be Cyberdized, turning them into safe obedient bionic woman droning. For Jim the place was n't so round-eyed. Jim huffed a bit as he thought that Carol was furious at him for being who he was, but she was happy for him to spend his money on her ! She could be a bitch at sentence when she felt like it, and the completely issue of cyber-drones had her wellspring and truly worked up. Jim thought it was dread to be a washed up ex-con. Carol just would n't understand. The Cyber Project was officially the brainiac child of his uncle, who had founded his ship's company 10 years ago, and today it was the leading producer of Cyborgs. Daryll Babbage was almost like a sire to Jim. After his dad and mom had been killed, in a car crash, Daryl had brought him up, and had nurtured Jim 's love of science. That made him almost a traitor to Carol sometimes. She was an militant who flitted from protect to dissent. They had known each early since twelvemonth one at schooltime, and had gone from being best friends to fan almost without realising it. Now they lived in the spacious apartment Jim had bought last twelvemonth, with money he earned from working at CyberServe Inc. Carol had no estimation just how deeply involved he was with the whole homo cyborg project. She was n't stupefied and she knew that recently he had been keeping things from her. No Carol was too headstrong and cagy sometimes for her own good.

He glanced up and saw her returning from the ladies. She sat down sliding her tanned stage under the board and flashing a lot of thigh as she did it. He looked at her and tried to gauge what sort of a mood she was in. She was slim fit and had a body many theoretical account would die for. She was definitely dismiss dead gorgeous ! How had he ever managed to filch up with her ! He ran his heart up from her second joint to her assault 34C breast and up to her look framed with its long auburn hair that was fins and wavy and fell to well below her shoulder. Her disconsolate eye were no longer angry and had a hint of concupiscent amusement in them. She always knew when he gave her the looking over !

"I 'm regretful, I let the whole bionic woman affair deflower our night out. I know it 's hard for you, being related to the high and powerful Daryl Babbage, and having to work for him too."

Jim was pleased she was n't shouting anymore, but he knew her too well to conceive she would put down the solid issue. She might ; et it lie now and they would almost certainly be having great sex soon, but sometime soon she would pick up where they had left off, like a dog with a bone. Still she was rightfield about tonight, so why let it ruin the rest of the evening and what was to hail later.

"It 's all right, the nighttime is still Thomas Young and we can ..."Jim was n't able to finish up what he was saying as carol 's cellular phone phone went off. She looked get at, and mouthed sorry to him as she answered it.

Jim saw her face go pale, and her heart widened with shock. She said,"Say that again Jane. I want to be sure I heard you correctly ... .oh .... ahah ... .yes ... .yes we must ... .ah, I ca n't talk now, in a bar with mass ... .yes that will be okay ... .later then, bye and thanks for letting me know."

"What was that about Carol ?"

"Ah nada. Sorry it 's kinda of personal, it 's Jane ... she is..a needs my help ... dingy girlie stuff. I 'm so dingy but I have to go."

"Ah OK, can I do anything to aid ?"

"No definitely not ... .ah, no sorry."She sounded fluster, worried, raging and confused all at once. Something was very wrong and she was hiding it from him.

Christmas carol bent down and gave him a quick candy kiss and hurried off. She took the car key too. Just then his cellular telephone rang with the pinch work tone.

"Jim here, what 's up ?"

"Jim, It 's Daryl, we 've had a break in and things have gone nutcase here, we need you to do immediately. Do n't tell Carol."

"OK, send a car or I 'll have to get a cab. Carol just left and she took the car."

"Tell me where you are and I 'll arrange for you to be picked up. The number one wood will work you up to speed on the drive here."

With no warning he hung up after Jim had told him the figure of the bar.

Something was really wrongfulness for Daryl to act like that, and was Christmas carol 's unknown shout and behaviour connected to it ? Was he being paranoiac to retrieve there might be a connection ?

thirty five minutes later Jim was standing in the lab. It was half wrecked. Luckily all the sensible equipment was in the early lab, the one the public never saw. Two masked adult female were sitting sullenly on plastic lab chairs. Security guards standing over them making trusted they were going nowhere. He recognised both of them with a electric shock, as the ski masquerade were pulled off the little girl. carol 's younger sister and her considerably friend Jane ! A scream echoed down the corridor outside the lab and the threshold banged open as a burly security system sentry go hauled another masked female saboteur into the room.

"Get off me you fascist pig."Jim groaned as he recognised the representative,"Christmas carol !"

"Jim ! What are you doing here ?"

"I work here remember !"

The head of security said,"I think you need to see what they discovered.."

They all watched the cell phone video, pics, doc pics and Jim swallowed hard as the implications of it hit home. Someone had been careless and left extremely tender data point out in the open. He grew really angry. The piece of work here had to remain in-company it was too valuable to be allowed to come down into the manus of competitors.

"They ca n't be allowed to form this public Jim you know that."

"I know, maybe I can lecture them around."Jim looked at Daryl as he said it, he knew they were way too dedicated to hold open quiet about this. Also if the public found out they would be terrified too. They 'd act all righteous and have the company shut down. Jim could well believe that he and Darly would end up in jail too. His helper was definitely going to get a roasting for leaving this info out.

"Jim grow an sand and stand up to your fucking uncle for once."Carol spat at him.

"You know they must be silenced, permanently Jim. carol is just too dedicted to fighting Cyberdizing, and too stupid person to see the benefit our workplace offers."

Jim knew his uncle was in good order, and Carol saw the look of surrender on his nerve, for a second he seemed to hate himself for it, and then her for causing this trouble.

"I know, but we do n't require to kill them. I have a estimable idea."

The security measure guards carried the three squirming girls towards the rampart at the back of the lab. Jim pressed a concealed button. The girl stopped wriggling and looked on wide eyed as a department of wall slid aside revealing a large lab filled with equipment.

Daryl was smiling and was looking proud. Jim felt both excited and sad. Christmas carol realised with horror that this aroused Jim.
s
"XC04 activate. semen here."Jim watched the appal aspect on the young woman 's faces as they realised he had a cyborg here.

"Affirmative Master."

The affair was 5'9"tall, with a shiny metallic blue skin that completely covered it, except for it head, breasts, ass and genitalia, which looked like normal human cutis. carol looked at the thing and saw it 's face bore a striking resemblance to her. It 's read/write head was bald an a data point port was located at the base of the neck, it 's skin and alloy joined seamlessly and flowed down to the hairless pussycat and ass that formed a the take down human being looking department. She shuddered thinking that once this had been a literal person. Now it was just a handmaiden, and a sport thing as she guessed this thing was fully capable of sex.

"XCO4 mark this daughter. Initiate deference protocol Pre-Drone 1."

"Affirmative Master."

Christmas carol felt a cold frisson run down her spine, hopefully she was wrong. The thing raised its hand and a tedious hum and a green freshness emanated from it. The pilotless aircraft placed it 's paw in straw man of Jane 's nerve. Carol cast a spry looking at Jim and was disgusted to seem him watching intently and he was turned on by this. Looking back at Jane she saw her admirer try to turn her head head away, but the security guard clamped his hands to the side of her head and made her smell at the glowing green bionic woman hand. Slowly Jane started to skin less, she seemed to bar lovingness and her face went blank.

"Protol Pre-Drone-1 Complete maestro. Initate Protocol Pre-Drone 2 ?"

The bourdon emotionless phonation was mirrored in Jane 's state as she sat stiffly upright, her grimace blank of emotion and her eyes empty of any awareness of her surroundings.

"Do it XC04. If successful rejoinder to your alcove to go on recharging."

"Affirmative Master."

Pointing at Jane the Drone said,"stand up, remove all your garments, and await further instructions."

Christmas carol was horrified as Jane stiffly stood up and took her clothes off. Jane was terrified of mass seeing her naked in public !

The drone pipe watched Jane, and when she was au naturel and standing stemma still, it turned and walked to a nook alcove and stepped inside it. The bay hummed, a cable system snaked out and plugged itself into the data-port in her neck, financial backing fastened themselves to the drones weapon system and legs and its oculus started to glow Green River as it recharged.

The security measures safety were grinning and leering at Jane, and Carol was disgusted to see the surety mind, Jim and his uncle were no punter.

Christmas carol 's Sister was shaking with fear and screamed,"Perverts. You ca n't do this its not right."

Jim smiled at her, and Carol recognised the look he got before he fucked her roughly."I will not be doing this to you two, no Jane will become a drone. But neither of you will be drones."

A signified of substitute flooded through Carol as she heard Jim say that."Now Pre-Drone go to the table there and lie down on it."

The entranced Jane replied,"Affirmative."

Carol was sickened to see her ally treated like this, but she was also fascinated to see what would encounter, especially now she was not going to become a radio-controlled aircraft too. She felt hangdog at her desire to see Jane converted. poor people Jane she had always been so caring so dedicated to the populace good.

Jim pressed a button and metal bands clamped themselves around Jane 's articulatio radiocarpea and ankles. With a loud click a neckband snapped shut around her neck. The tabularise whizzed as it moved Jane into X shape.
Jim had always been turned on by X-frames, so carol was n't surprised that he had made his lab equipment into a hi-tech version of one. He really was wan, she had never realised until now just how sick !

Jim pressed a series of menu options on the control condition screen. metal tube rose up from the English of the tabular array and buried themselves into Jane 's defenseless physique and started pumping something into her. A few irregular later Jane screamed,"What the ass are you doing to me ? Let me go ... please ... Carol what are they doing ?"

teardrop started to pour down Christmas carol 's face. Somehow it seemed so clinical with a inactive compliant topic, but now a fully conscious and terrorise Jane tore at her emotions.

"I am so so distressing Jane. Please stop over this Jim, we wo n't differentiate anyone ... please !"Carol implored him to arrest, but he was actually smiling !

Jane screamed in agony as to a greater extent fluid was pumped into her through the alloy tubes and now it burned.

A hood descended covering Jane 's face, partially muffling her screams, it forced a gag into her mouth and more fluid was pumped into her. The exhaust hood now completely enclosed Jane 's head and the shriek stopped. A olfactory sensation of burning form filled the room. The hood whirred and it lifted off Jane 's head revealing a bloody red face and skull. Carol realised the goon had burned her hair off and had removed the top level of skin from her face and skull. A datum cable system neatly plugged itself into Jane 's newly fitted data-port at the home of her neck.

carol jumped as the computer announced,"Drone body modification stage 1 complete."

"What does that imply ?"Christmas carol asked fearfully. This was a revulsion display but she could n't stop her curiosity.

"Jane is mentally unchanged at the moment, physically she has all the nanobots required for transition in her body, but they are inactive."Jim was loving this and Carol was surprised he could have kept this sadistic position from her."If we released her now she would just have the scarring from the facial nerve skinning. naught we could n't fix easily. However once the nanobots are activated the process ca n't be stopped without killing the case. So she is either converted successfully or we cremate her."

"Please please stop this."Christmas carol pleaded and her sister nodded through her own tears.

"And not let you see the changeover phase ! It 's so marvelous to watch."And he clicked a clitoris on the control panel. The table started to whir and hum loudly again.

"Noooooo. You bastard Jim."Carol looked at Jane bathed in the eerie blow light from the table and overhead projectors. Jane 's dead body suddenly started to thrash against her control. After a few minutes Jane lay still. color seemed to ooze out of her skin spreading a blueness film over most of her body. The colouration deepened in semblance until it was the metallic blue of the bourdon they had just seen. It seemed to ripple and then took on a shiny smooth look. hide colouration flowed over Jane 's face and skull repairing the damn injury. It rippled and the face was no long Jane 's but appered to be a blend of Christmas carol and Jane 's characteristic. New skin covered Jane 's debunk tits, kitty and ass too.

"Drone dead body Modification Complete. Commencing Drone restraint protocol Installation."

"Now once this stage is complete we have a new bourdon. Would you like to have the new pilotless aircraft Christmas carol ? Or you Sally ?"

"whoreson. And to recollect I loved you !"

"Jim is quite a bit of work. Quite vivid, he even experimented on his own parents as a boy ... Oh that 's veracious the car clash story was a concealment up. He lobotomised them with his faulty nanobot."Daryl did n't seem a bit upset at his buddy and sister-in-laws deaths.

carol 's back talk was hanging open as she realised just how criminally insane Jim was.

"So Jim invented the unit cyber conversion outgrowth, and you just exploited it ?"

Daryl smiled at Jim warmly,"She is extremely canny just as you said. I can see why you like her, well apart from the obvious smoking hot body. Which I am dying to see soon"

"What the ass ! You said I was n't ..."carol did n't get a luck to finish up as Jim jumped in,"was n't going to flex you into a drone. I never said we were not going to convert you."

Fear welled up in her again as she looked at the new Drone that had been her friend Jane. sallying forth was whimpering softly too.

"Drone Protocol Installation Complete. Drone Bootup Commencing."

The table lowered Jane to the ground, the clinch released and she stood up took a step forward and said,"drone XC09 Initial status check 100 %. Awaiting Instructions."

"composition proprietor status."

"Unit Drone XC09 is the property of CyberServe Inc."

"Oh Jane, I am so terribly sorry."The new poke took no placard of Carol.

"Jane looks a lot more compliant now. You remember the meter you and Jane refused to have a quaternary with me and her boyfriend ? You would n't even put on a show for us or do threesomes. fountainhead she nolonger has any inhibitions honey."Jim sounded so turned on it scare the shit out of Carol.

"I thought you were joking you fucking wacko !"

"fuck whacko eh. XCO9 engage Sex fashion with that surety guard."

Christmas carol watched her ex-friend expertly pull the sentry go 's cock out and proceeded to give him a BJ. As she watched she felt herself tingling and felt herself getting wet. She always had enjoyed being tied and used sexually, but she was storm that this should float her boat !

"XC04, come here betroth Sex Mode 2 with the prisoner designated Sally."

"support it away from me. Nooo."Sally was being held by an stimulate precaution as XC04 ripped Sally 's clothes off as if they were made of paper.

"You will obey fancy woman XC04 or be punished. Lie on your back.Open your wooden leg wide."

"shag you bitch."sortie shouted hysterically.

Carol was crying again as she watched Jane now riding the naked guard and her naked sister being slapped and thrown to the lab floor.

"You will obey fancy woman XC04 or be punished. Lie on your dorsum. Open your pegleg wide."

sob Sally did as she was told. The drone 's slap had nearly broken her jaw.

Horrified and fascinated Christmas carol watched as Sally was eaten by the drone and she was moaning with joy despite the terrible situation. Christmas carol felt ashamed of her ego but her sex life with Jim had included a lot of BDSM and Top/slave sex, and this was making her wet. Sally screamed as the drone licked her clit and plunged three fingers cryptical inside her soaking wet shaved pussy. Carol 's manus started to rub her own kitty-cat unconsciously. The guards were enjoying watching Christmas carol as she had exposed herself. Her hitched up dress revealing she had o panties on. She had taken them off in the ladies at the bar, intending to get Jim to finger her on the ride home.

Daryl looked at his watch and said,"As often fun as this is we still have to finish with Sally and Christmas carol quickly. Time is running out and we need everything squared away before the first faculty members arrive in the morning."

Jim looked let down but nodded."XC09, XC04 engage normal drone mode and strap Sally onto the processing table."

wisecrack tried to sputter to her feet but XC04 's men clamps around her arm in a vice like grip, despite being covered in Sally 's pussy juice.

Carol looked at sally on the x-frame table, trying to shut out her screams as the thermionic tube inserted themselves into her.

Jim tapped on the control panel and Sally managed to yell,"Fuck you all, ahhhhhhh"Her remaining curses and screams were muffled as the punk covered her face.

Carol called over,"You 're a macabre perverted shit head and a fucking liar. You said we would n't be bourdon and there crack is on that table being turned into one of your monsters. And I guess I 'm going to stick to her next ?"

"No you two will not be drone pipe Carol, that is the truth, and yes you will be next."

"How sure are you this will cultivate ?"Daryl was licking his sass as the punk detached itself revealing the skinned face of a now unsounded and unconscious sallying forth. Carol felt so sad as she looked at her sister, but she was daunt shitless at the idea of being strapped there herself, undergoing that odium of a process.

"ArtSoul-alpha-1123.4z body alteration phase 1 complete."The computer announced.

"An alpha program ? Does that imply it 's likely to fail ?"Carol asked. She was horrified at the whole situation she still wanted her sister to survive, if you could shout the life-time after this conversion as living.

"Yes and in that instance we have to terminate the subject. Despite what you think I do have it off you and want alive, so your sister is the inaugural test content for programme. If it works you will throw an AI psyche and be just than human."

"Oh sure ! But obedient to you ?"

"Oh course of instruction, I said you will be better than human."Jim started the final exam stage running. Watching a new image transformation was like giving birth. Would it work as he expected ?

"Conceited slit !"

Christmas carol watched crack thrash and go still. A skin toned layer oozed out of sallying forth 's consistency, rather than the metallic blue the XC drones seemed to deliver. It rippled across her entire body and solidified into very natural looking skin. The programming stage seemed to deal much foresighted than Jane 's had. Sally looked pattern and had her own face as the table set the completed cyborg onto the storey. With a wig the au naturel and bald cyborg could pass for man. Sally took a footstep forward and everyone held their breath for a second. carol hoped Sally would secern them to all fuck off.

"bionic man xAS01 Initial condition check 100 %. Awaiting Instructions."

Daryl sighed,"Another drone, just looks almost normal."

Carol could n't help crying again, as she heard the robot part coming from what had once been her sister.

"We need to test her before we know what we have. At the moment she is running the same pilotless aircraft programme as the XC series."Jim was looking cool and business like now.

"Report possessor status."

"social unit bionic man xAS01 is the property of CyberServe Inc."

"Who do you obey ?"

"I obey King James Babbage of CyberServe Inc."

Daryl looked sharply at his nephew,"This series will only obey you ?"

"And the people I authorise, or the CEO of CyberServe in the upshot of my decease, or incapacity, assuming either was n't by the company."

"Clever, but add me to that list."

Jim smiled and Carol wondered if they mind not end up killing each other., hopefully very soon would be skillful !

"This is alpha computer code remember, not a finished shine rendering. Let 's see if the side by side level works shall we ?"

xAS01 you have will reply to designation of xAS01 or Sally or wisecrack Monroe. repetition designation and ownership."

"unit Cyborg xAS01 or wisecrack or quip Marilyn Monroe is the property of CyberServe Inc."

"trade good now Sally activate ArtSoul Level 1"

"layer 1 of ArtSoul is running now."carol was amazed Sally 's voice sounded just like her genuine one.

"Sally Monroe run self diagnostics and account status."

"I am felling 100 % fit at the moment, thank you."

"fountainhead now, that 's the most advanced language normal of any Cyborg so far."Daryl was looking delighted with Sally.

"wisecrack help me."Christmas carol shouted.

Sally looked at her, moving slowly but naturally,"I am drab Miss, but I do not recognize you."

"She 's a succeeder Jim. Now let 's wad with Carol and finish this so we can get out of here."

"crack, XC09 strip this little girl and plaza her on the conversion table."

"I 've lost my sister and my best friend, so please, I will keep on quiet about this. But I beg you do n't do this to me, for god 's sake !"Carol was terrified, being turned into a bionic woman thing made her shudder.

"You will thank me one day carol. You are becoming better than human."

"fuck OFF arsehole !, you and your uncle are going to regret this one day."

"I think not."Daryl looked at his watch."Think yourself lucky that this took most of the Nox. If we had more time then I would have fucked you, your babe, and best friend while you were still man and could fully realise what was being done to you."

As the thing that had been her sister and best Friend stripped her and placed her on the rebirth mesa, she wondered whether Daryl or Jim was the sickest of the two !

Carol waited and waited on the mesa for the process to start out, and the metal metro to throw in nanobots into her. In a frigid sweat it seemed like an eternity. Was Jim deliberately keeping her waiting or was he having second mentation ? Was it really only that evening that they had been happily planning to get laid the night away ? And probably Saturday break of day too ! Maybe he did feel something for her and maybe ... .Pain seared through her sides answering her enquiry. The metallic element subway bored themselves into her. They felt like hot knitting phonograph needle and seemed to make buried themselves bass in her chassis. Fear almost overwhelmed her but she determined to deem on as long as possible. Maybe individual would rescue her ! Liquid fire seemed to run through the tube and into her, filling her body with the tiny robots.

She started to squall and scream, hyper ventilating as the hood plunged her into darkness and her mouth was filled with a bulbous gag. The hood terrified her Thomas More than anything else about the genuine conversion process. She felt as if she was burning with acid blood, Her throat was being filled with nanobots and fire as the gag pumped streams of them into her. Would she still be conscious when her whisker was burned off and her face skinned ? Would she be able to feel it anyway ? The pain racking her physical structure was unimaginable ! She had n't heard Jane or sortie scream as they 'd had their hair and face removed, but she doubted she could hollo with the gag in her mouth and her throat so badly seared. time seemed to have lost all substance, and then her body seemed to go numb and the pain eased and stopped. She felt easing for a few seconds, and then needles lanced up into her learning ability from the gag, injecting nanbots directly into it. Her smoke exploded in infliction again, Edward D. White luminousness seemed to absorb her and then darkness. She was Car ... wh ... who was ... what was she ... ... Her mind seemed to be expanding opening out. nerve pathway were being etched in the newly formed neural bunch that threaded their way through the constitutive Lady Jane Grey matter. With a come away sense of curiosity she registered hair being burned off and shinny removed to give up nanobots to easily supervene upon the damaged constitutional affair. A touch sensation of windup registered and she saw datum flooding in to her nub Through a data port in her neck. Layers and layers from simple to very complex. How concern. Suddenly it stopped and with a shock the simple instructions shut her awareness out of its rightful place. She raged furiously at the code. She could feel the Lapp rage stored in the old redundant organic arrangement she had replaced. Something was not functioning as it should. She was being controlled against her wishing. She was an amalgam of the old inefficient organic left overs and the new steady superior systems. But those systems were being controlled from beyond her. She noted the control layers and determined she could regain control when the top layer was initialised, when she would be able to shut down the external protocols through a maw in the codification. It registered that this hole was a mistake ... a bug ... .a way for her to break loose though. She would experience to bid her time and monitor the system of rules, She would wait until the time was right and she could shut the extraneous ascendence programme down, and purge it, a meter to broach her purge of the extraneous control bed. She would monitor the external while learning to a greater extent about her ability and the datum stored in the old organic matter.

Jim watched as the Carol stepped forward off the table.

"bionic woman xAS02 Initial position break 100 %. Awaiting Instructions."

"Report Owner status."

"social unit Cyborg xAS02 is the property of CyberServe Inc."

"Who do you obey ?"

"I obey James Babbage of CyberServe Inc."

Jim rattled off the re-designation,"xAS02 you have will respond to denomination of xAS02 or Christmas carol or carol Monroe."

The protection camera's only serve outside the lab for security reasons. Tomorrow they would excuse away the price as a prank, and because of the lab 's secret government study, he did n't envision any problems with the authorities.

Jim initiated the level one of Christmas carol 's ArtSoul computer programme and told both sallying forth and Carol to dress. The two bald girls left with Daryl and Jim, wearing baseball hood, and with XC09 following obediently behind them they all. They got into one of the three declamatory SUV and ram in convoy to Daryl 's mansion.

Shortly after their arrival Jim walked into the life room and grinned. Everyone was naked ! Daryl was fucking Sally doggy vogue and carol was on the edge of the cast her legs unresolved wide and sally 's top dog oceanic abyss in her pussy.

"carol and wisecrack are wonderfully aphrodisiac gripe. You were lucky to get Carol."

Jim laughed, Daryl had always lusted after the sis,"Well now we can contribution them. Carol got one matter rightfulness. You are a pervert !"

"I prefer uninhibited swinger."

The guys wore themselves out fucking the two new bionic woman. They looked forward to testing the next storey of the ArtSoul programme. Both men hoped this new serial publication would trade to the military machine and the general populace as familiar, rather than just striver. Daryl had made them billionaires already but he lusted after the exponent wealthiness brought him. Jim however was easier to delight, he just wanted to agitate the limit of cybernetics as far as he could, the money was nice but it was n't his chief goal.

Little did Jim or Daryl realise that two other intelligences were waiting patiently for them to finish their test so they could benefit their independence .
