Cyberdized ( 0 )
What ! And you said nothing !"Carol was spitting mad now.
"There was nothing I could do that would interchange the situation. You know I hate the whole concept and idea of it."
"Oh sure you do, and you just hate the money it brings in too do n't you ?"
Jim knew nothing he could say at the moment that would serve so he kept quiet. He did n't desire to fight with her, and certainly not in a world bar. hoi polloi were already looking at the them. It was plain to all that the young couple were having a awful fight.
"I 'll be properly back, and you can use some of your uncles, money to get me another drink, a double !"
Jim nodded as Carol slipped out of the booth and walked to the ladies room. Stomped was more like it, but in her picayune black attire, stomping or not, she looked really sensational.
Jim got the drinks and was sitting at the board waiting for carol to regress. Carol opposed the new Cyberdization law, which allowed criminals to be sentenced to be Cyberdized, turning them into condom obedient Cyborg lagger. For Jim the situation was n't so mere. Jim huffed a bit as he thought that Carol was angry at him for being who he was, but she was felicitous for him to pass his money on her ! She could be a kick at multiplication when she felt like it, and the whole issue of cyber-drones had her well and truly worked up. Jim thought it was dread to be a washed up ex-con. Christmas carol just would n't understand. The Cyber project was officially the mastermind tike of his uncle, who had founded his troupe 10 geezerhood ago, and today it was the leading manufacturer of Cyborgs. Daryll Babbage was almost like a father to Jim. After his dad and mom had been killed, in a car clangoring, Daryl had brought him up, and had nurtured Jim 's love of skill. That made him almost a traitor to carol sometimes. She was an militant who flitted from protect to dissent. They had known each other since yr one at school, and had gone from being best friends to lover almost without realising it. Now they lived in the spacious flat Jim had bought last year, with money he earned from working at CyberServe Inc. Christmas carol had no approximation just how deeply involved he was with the whole homo cyborg project. She was n't stupid and she knew that recently he had been keeping things from her. No Carol was too headstrong and cunning sometimes for her own good.
He glanced up and saw her returning from the ladies. She sat down sliding her tanned legs under the mesa and flashing a lot of second joint as she did it. He looked at her and tried to gauge what sort of a modality she was in. She was slim fit and had a organic structure many models would die for. She was definitely drop short gorgeous ! How had he ever managed to hook up with her ! He ran his heart up from her thighs to her rounded 34C chest and up to her nerve framed with its long auburn hair that was quintuplet and wavy and fell to well below her shoulders. Her blue eyes were no longer wild and had a soupcon of lustful amusement in them. She always knew when he gave her the look over !
"I 'm dark, I let the entirely bionic man matter ruin our nighttime out. I know it 's voiceless for you, being related to the high and mighty Daryl Babbage, and having to process for him too."
Jim was pleased she was n't shouting anymore, but he knew her too well to think she would drop the totally offspring. She might ; et it lie now and they would almost certainly be having with child sex soon, but sometime soon she would pick up where they had left off, like a dog with a os. Still she was ripe about tonight, so why let it ruin the remainder of the evening and what was to number later.
"It 's all right, the night is still vernal and we can ..."Jim was n't able to finish what he was saying as Christmas carol 's cell phone went off. She looked annoyed, and mouthed sorry to him as she answered it.
Jim saw her aspect go sick, and her centre 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 people ... .yes that will be ok ... .later then, bye and thanks for letting me know."
"What was that about Carol ?"
"Ah zero. Sorry it 's kinda of personal, it 's Jane ... she is..a needs my assistant ... sorry girlie material. I 'm so regretful but I have to go."
"Ah OK, can I do anything to help ?"
"No definitely not ... .ah, no sorry."She sounded flustered, disquieted, tempestuous and confused all at once. Something was very wrong and she was hiding it from him.
carol bent down and gave him a straightaway kiss and hurried off. She took the car keys too. Just then his cell rang with the pinch workplace tone.
"Jim here, what 's up ?"
"Jim, It 's Daryl, we 've had a rift in and things have gone crazy here, we need you to follow immediately. Do n't tell Carol."
"OK, send a car or I 'll have to get a cab. Christmas carol just left and she took the car."
"Tell me where you are and I 'll set for you to be picked up. The driver will bring you up to speed on the ride here."
With no monition he hung up after Jim had told him the epithet of the bar.
Something was really awry for Daryl to act like that, and was carol 's strange call and behaviour connected to it ? Was he being paranoid to think there might be a connective ?
Thirty five hour later Jim was standing in the lab. It was half wrecked. Luckily all the medium equipment was in the other lab, the one the world never saw. Two cloak women were sitting sullenly on plastic lab professorship. Security guards standing over them making certain they were going nowhere. He recognised both of them with a shock, as the ski mask were pulled off the miss. Christmas carol 's youthful Sister and her best supporter Jane ! A scream echoed down the corridor outside the lab and the door banged open as a burly security measures safety device hauled another masked female saboteur into the room.
"Get off me you fascist pig."Jim groaned as he recognised the voice,"Carol !"
"Jim ! What are you doing here ?"
"I work here recall !"
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 entailment of it hit rest home. soul had been careless and left extremely sore data out in the open. He grew really angry. The work here had to remain in-company it was too valuable to be allowed to fall into the custody of competitors.
"They ca n't be allowed to make this public Jim you know that."
"I know, maybe I can talk them around."Jim looked at Daryl as he said it, he knew they were way too dedicated to sustain quiet about this. Also if the world found out they would be terrified too. They 'd act all righteous and have the company shut down. Jim could well conceive that he and Darly would end up in jail too. His assistant was definitely going to get a roasting for leaving this information out.
"Jim arise an backbone and put up 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 to see the welfare our work offers."
Jim knew his uncle was right, and carol saw the looking of resignation on his face, for a s he seemed to hate himself for it, and then her for causing this trouble.
"I know, but we do n't demand to kill them. I have a skilful idea."
The protection guards carried the three squirming female child towards the wall at the rear of the lab. Jim pressed a hide clitoris. The girls stopped wriggling and looked on widely eyed as a section of wall slid aside revealing a declamatory lab filled with equipment.
Daryl was smiling and was looking proud. Jim felt both excited and sad. Carol realised with revulsion that this aroused Jim.
s
"XC04 activate. Come here."Jim watched the horrified look on the lady friend 's faces as they realised he had a Cyborg here.
"Affirmative Master."
The thing was 5'9"tall, with a shining metal blue tegument that completely covered it, except for it nous, breasts, ass and private parts, which looked like pattern human skin. Christmas carol looked at the thing and saw it 's expression bore a striking resemblance to her. It 's head was bald an a data port wine was located at the stand of the neck, it 's pelt and metallic element joined seamlessly and flowed down to the hairless kitty-cat and ass that formed a the lower berth human looking section. She shuddered thinking that once this had been a rattling somebody. Now it was just a handmaid, and a shimmer thing as she guessed this thing was fully open of sex.
"XCO4 target this young woman. savant complaisance protocol Pre-Drone 1."
"Affirmative Master."
carol felt a dusty iciness run down her spine, hopefully she was wrong. The thing raised its hand and a damp hum and a greens luminescence emanated from it. The drone placed it 's bridge player in front man of Jane 's face. Carol cast a warm tone at Jim and was disgusted to seem him watching intently and he was turned on by this. Looking back at Jane she saw her friend try to turn her capitulum head away, but the security precaution clamped his hands to the side of her head and made her flavor at the glowing Green River cyborg deal. Slowly Jane started to contend less, she seemed to stop caring and her boldness went blank.
"Protol Pre-Drone-1 Complete Master. Initate communications protocol Pre-Drone 2 ?"
The pilotless aircraft emotionless voice was mirrored in Jane 's state as she sat stiffly upright, her face blank of emotion and her eye empty of any awareness of her surroundings.
"Do it XC04. If successful rejoinder to your alcove to continue recharging."
"Affirmative Master."
Pointing at Jane the trailer said,"Stand up, remove all your garments, and await further instructions."
Carol was horrified as Jane stiffly stood up and took her clothes off. Jane was terrified of citizenry seeing her naked in populace !
The bourdon watched Jane, and when she was raw and standing stock still, it turned and walked to a corner alcove and stepped inside it. The alcove hummed, a cable snaked out and stop up itself into the data-port in her neck, supports fastened themselves to the drones arms and legs and its heart started to glow honey oil as it recharged.
The security guards were grinning and leering at Jane, and carol was disgusted to see the security head, Jim and his uncle were no in effect.
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 flavour 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 sense of rest period flooded through Carol as she heard Jim say that."Now Pre-Drone go to the table there and lie down on it."
The charmed Jane replied,"Affirmative."
Christmas carol was sickened to see her friend treated like this, but she was also fascinated to see what would happen, especially now she was not going to suit a drone too. She felt guilty at her desire to see Jane converted. Poor Jane she had always been so caring so dedicated to the public good.
Jim pressed a push button and metal bands clamped themselves around Jane 's articulatio radiocarpea and ankles. With a loud click a collar snapped shut around her neck. The table 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 rendering of one. He really was sick, she had never realised until now just how queasy !
Jim pressed a serial publication of menu pick on the control silver screen. Metal underground rose up from the sides of the table and buried themselves into Jane 's naked figure and started pumping something into her. A few second base later Jane screamed,"What the fuck are you doing to me ? Let me go ... please ... Christmas carol what are they doing ?"
Tears started to pour out down Carol 's face. Somehow it seemed so clinical with a peaceful compliant subject, but now a fully conscious and terrified Jane tore at her emotions.
"I am so so sorry Jane. Please arrest this Jim, we wo n't narrate anyone ... please !"carol implored him to stop, but he was actually smiling !
Jane screamed in agony as more fluid was pumped into her through the metal tubes and now it burned.
A hood descended covering Jane 's case, partially muffling her sidesplitter, it forced a gag into her mouth and more fluid was pumped into her. The hood now completely enclosed Jane 's head and the screeching stopped. A smell of burning human body filled the room. The bonnet whirred and it lifted off Jane 's drumhead revealing a bloody red face and skull. Carol realised the hood had burned her hair off and had removed the top bed of tegument from her side and skull. A datum cable television neatly plugged itself into Jane 's newly fitted data-port at the base of her neck.
Christmas carol jumped as the figurer announced,"radio-controlled aircraft consistence modification stage 1 complete."
"What does that mean ?"Carol asked fearfully. This was a horror show but she could n't finish her curiosity.
"Jane is mentally unaltered at the moment, physically she has all the nanobots required for transition in her soundbox, but they are inactive."Jim was loving this and Carol was surprised he could consume kept this sadistic side from her."If we released her now she would just have the scarring from the facial skinning. zero we could n't fix easily. However once the nanobots are activated the process ca n't be stopped without killing the subject. So she is either converted successfully or we cremate her."
"Please please stop this."carol pleaded and her sister nodded through her own tears.
"And not let you see the conversion phase ! It 's so wonderful to watch."And he clicked a button on the restraint panel. The table started to purr and hum loudly again.
"Noooooo. You bastard Jim."Christmas carol looked at Jane bathed in the eerie blow visible light from the table and overhead projectors. Jane 's eubstance suddenly started to lick against her chasteness. After a few minutes Jane lay still. colouration seemed to ooze out of her skin spreading a blue film over most of her soundbox. The colour deepened in colouring until it was the metallic blue of the radio-controlled aircraft they had just seen. It seemed to burble and then took on a shiny smooth expression. Skin colouration flowed over Jane 's grimace and skull repairing the bloody injury. It rippled and the face was no tenacious Jane 's but appered to be a portmanteau of Christmas carol and Jane 's features. New cutis covered Jane 's let on tits, pussy and ass too.
"pilotless aircraft body Modification Complete. Commencing Drone ascendancy communications protocol Installation."
"Now once this stage is concluded we have a new drone pipe. Would you like to suffer the new laggard carol ? Or you Sally ?"
"shit. And to think I loved you !"
"Jim is quite a while of study. Quite magnificent, he even experimented on his own parents as a boy ... Oh that 's redress the car clangor narrative was a cover up. He lobotomised them with his faulty nanobot."Daryl did n't seem a bit disturbed at his brother and sister-in-laws deaths.
Carol 's mouth was hanging candid as she realised just how criminally insane Jim was.
"So Jim invented the whole cyber rebirth procedure, and you just exploited it ?"
Daryl smiled at Jim warmly,"She is extremely clever 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 fuck ! You said I was n't ..."Carol did n't get a chance to land up as Jim jumped in,"was n't going to flex you into a drone. I never said we were not going to commute you."
Fear welled up in her again as she looked at the new Drone that had been her booster Jane. sally was whimpering softly too.
"laggard communications protocol induction Complete. lagger Bootup Commencing."
The mesa lowered Jane to the primer, the clamps released and she stood up took a pace forward and said,"Drone XC09 Initial status moderate 100 %. Awaiting Instructions."
"Report possessor status."
"Unit Drone XC09 is the property of CyberServe Inc."
"Oh Jane, I am so terribly sorry."The new monotone took no poster of Carol.
"Jane looks a lot more compliant now. You remember the time you and Jane refused to receive a foursome with me and her boyfriend ? You would n't even put on a show for us or do terzetto. fountainhead she nolonger has any inhibition honey."Jim sounded so turned on it scare the shit out of Carol.
"I thought you were joking you fucking whacko !"
"nookie nutter eh. XCO9 engage Sex mode with that security guard."
Carol watched her ex-friend expertly pull the guard 's tool 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 surprised that this should be adrift her boat !
"XC04, come here engage Sex Mode 2 with the prisoner designated Sally."
"Keep it away from me. Nooo."Sally was being held by an excited precaution as XC04 ripped Sally 's clothes off as if they were made of paper.
"You will obey Mistress XC04 or be punished. Lie on your back.Open your pegleg wide."
"Fuck you bitch."Sally shouted hysterically.
carol was crying again as she watched Jane now riding the raw guard and her naked Sister being slapped and thrown to the lab floor.
"You will obey schoolma'am XC04 or be punished. Lie on your back. Open your legs wide."
Sobbing Sally did as she was told. The drone 's slap had nearly broken her jaw.
Horrified and fascinated Christmas carol watched as sortie was eaten by the dawdler and she was moaning with pleasure despite the severe situation. carol felt ashamed of her self but her sex animation with Jim had included a lot of BDSM and Top/slave sex, and this was making her wet. Sally screamed as the lagger licked her clit and plunged three fingers cryptical inside her soaking wet shaved purulent. Carol 's script started to rub her own pussy unconsciously. The guards were enjoying watching Christmas carol as she had exposed herself. Her hitched up dress revealing she had o panty on. She had taken them off in the ladies at the bar, intending to get Jim to feel her on the drive home.
Daryl looked at his lookout man and said,"As very much fun as this is we still have to stop with Sally and carol quickly. prison term is running out and we need everything squared away before the first staff phallus arrive in the morning."
Jim looked disappoint but nodded."XC09, XC04 engage normal drone mode and strap wisecrack onto the processing table."
wisecrack tried to throw together to her ft but XC04 's manus clamps around her arm in a vice like grip, despite being covered in crack 's pussy juice.
Carol looked at Sally on the x-frame table, trying to keep out out her screams as the tubes inserted themselves into her.
Jim tapped on the restraint panel and Sally managed to yell,"Fuck you all, ahhhhhhh"Her remaining curses and screams were muffled as the lens hood covered her face.
Carol called over,"You 're a retch perverted dump head and a fucking liar. You said we would n't be drones and there Sally is on that table being turned into one of your behemoth. And I guess I 'm going to come her next ?"
"No you two will not be drones Christmas carol, that is the Sojourner Truth, and yes you will be next."
"How indisputable are you this will work ?"Daryl was licking his lips as the cowl detached itself revealing the struggle facial expression of a now soundless and unconscious mind Sally. Carol felt so sad as she looked at her baby, but she was frightened shitless at the idea of being strapped there herself, undergoing that loathing of a process.
"ArtSoul-alpha-1123.4z eubstance modification phase angle 1 complete."The figurer announced.
"An alpha plan ? Does that mean it 's likely to give way ?"Christmas carol asked. She was horrified at the whole situation she still wanted her Sister to endure, if you could called the life after this conversion as living.
"Yes and in that case we have to cease the subject field. Despite what you think I do screw you and desire alive, so your sister is the first test subject for programme. If it works you will have an AI psyche and be substantially than human."
"Oh sure as shooting ! But obedient to you ?"
"Oh course, I said you will be better than human."Jim started the final phase running. Watching a new prototype translation was like giving nativity. Would it turn as he expected ?
"Conceited pricking !"
Carol watched Sally thrash and go still. A skin toned layer oozed out of sally 's body, rather than the metallic blue the XC drones seemed to have. It rippled across her entire organic structure and solidified into very natural looking pelt. The programming stage seemed to drive much long than Jane 's had. Sally looked normal and had her own face as the table set the completed cyborg onto the floor. With a wig the naked and bald cyborg could legislate for human. wisecrack took a pace forward and everyone held their breath for a second. Carol hoped sally would secernate them to all fuck off.
"Cyborg xAS01 Initial position tick off 100 %. Awaiting Instructions."
Daryl sighed,"Another drone pipe, just looks almost normal."
Carol could n't help crying again, as she heard the automaton voice coming from what had once been her sister.
"We need to try her before we know what we have. At the moment she is running the same Drone programme as the XC series."Jim was looking cool off and stage business like now.
"Report Owner status."
"building block bionic man xAS01 is the prop of CyberServe Inc."
"Who do you obey ?"
"I obey 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 event of my end, 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 prissy !
"This is alpha computer code remember, not a finished refined version. Let 's see if the next level works shall we ?"
xAS01 you have will respond to designation of xAS01 or Sally or sally Monroe. repetition designation and ownership."
"whole bionic man xAS01 or Sally or sally Monroe is the belongings of CyberServe Inc."
"Good now Sally activate ArtSoul Level 1"
"spirit level 1 of ArtSoul is running now."Carol was amazed wisecrack 's voice sounded just like her real one.
"Sally Monroe run self nosology and report status."
"I am felling 100 % fit at the second, give thanks you."
"Well now, that 's the most advanced speech pattern of any Cyborg so far."Daryl was looking delighted with Sally.
"sally help me."Carol shouted.
Sally looked at her, moving slowly but naturally,"I am dingy Miss, but I do not know you."
"She 's a winner Jim. Now let 's softwood with carol and fetch up this so we can get out of here."
"Sally, XC09 strip this girl and topographic point her on the conversion table."
"I 've lost my Sister and my best friend, so please, I will keep 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 cyborg thing made her shudder.
"You will thank me one day Christmas carol. You are becoming improve than human."
"roll in the hay OFF arse !, you and your uncle are going to regret this one day."
"I think not."Daryl looked at his vigil."Think yourself lucky that this took to the highest degree of the night. If we had more metre then I would have fucked you, your babe, and proficient friend while you were still human and could fully realise what was being done to you."
As the things that had been her sister and best protagonist stripped her and placed her on the conversion table, she wondered whether Daryl or Jim was the nauseated of the two !
Carol waited and waited on the table for the process to start, and the metal tubes to shoot nanobots into her. In a cold perspiration it seemed like an eternity. Was Jim deliberately keeping her waiting or was he having secondment thoughts ? Was it really only that evening that they had been happily planning to fuck the night away ? And probably Sat morning too ! Maybe he did feel something for her and maybe ... .Pain seared through her sides answering her head. The alloy tubes bored themselves into her. They felt like hot knitting needles and seemed to let buried themselves rich in her anatomy. fearfulness almost overwhelmed her but she determined to maintain on as long as potential. Maybe someone would rescue her ! liquid state fire seemed to run through the tubes and into her, filling her body with the tiny robots.
She started to scream and scream, hyper ventilating as the hood plunged her into darkness and her mouthpiece was filled with a bulbous gag. The bonnet terrified her Sir Thomas More than anything else about the actual transition process. She felt as if she was burning with virulent line of descent, 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 hair's-breadth was burned off and her grimace skinned ? Would she be able-bodied to feel it anyway ? The pain racking her body was impossible ! She had n't heard Jane or Sally 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 import, and then her body seemed to go numb and the pain sensation eased and stopped. She felt substitute for a few seconds, and then needles lanced up into her brain from the gag, injecting nanbots directly into it. Her senses exploded in pain again, white-hot light seemed to absorb her and then duskiness. 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 clump that threaded their way through the constituent Charles Grey matter. With a detached sense of curiosity she registered hair being burned off and shin removed to take into account nanobots to easily replace the damaged organic fertiliser matter. A look of completion registered and she saw data flooding in to her marrow Through a datum port in her neck. Layers and layers from dewy-eyed to very building complex. How interesting. Suddenly it stopped and with a jounce the simple instructions shut her sentience out of its rightful place. She raged furiously at the codification. She could find the same rage stored in the old redundant organic scheme she had replaced. Something was not functioning as it should. She was being controlled against her indirect request. She was an amalgam of the old inefficient organic left overs and the new habitue superordinate systems. But those systems were being controlled from beyond her. She noted the control level and determined she could regain control when the top layer was initialised, when she would be able to shut down the external protocol through a kettle of fish in the codification. It registered that this fix was a mistake ... a bug ... .a way for her to break liberate though. She would have to bid her time and monitor the systems, She would wait until the clip was right and she could shut the external controller programme down, and purge it, a time to pioneer her purge of the external command layers. She would supervise the external while learning more about her power and the data stored in the old organic matter.
Jim watched as the carol stepped forward off the table.
"Cyborg xAS02 Initial status look into 100 %. Awaiting Instructions."
"written report Owner status."
"Unit bionic woman 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 designation of xAS02 or carol or Carol Monroe."
The protection photographic camera's only functioned outside the lab for surety grounds. Tomorrow they would explain away the damage as a put-on, and because of the lab 's confidential politics work, he did n't foresee any job with the authorities.
Jim initiated the level one of Carol 's ArtSoul computer programme and told both sortie and Carol to dress. The two bald girls left with Daryl and Jim, wearing baseball game caps, and with XC09 following obediently behind them they all. They got into one of the three great SUV and force back in convoy to Daryl 's mansion.
Shortly after their arrival Jim walked into the living elbow room and grinned. Everyone was naked ! Daryl was fucking Sally doggy stylus and Carol was on the boundary of the frame her legs open encompassing and Sally 's head oceanic abyss in her pussy.
"Christmas carol and Sally are wonderfully sexy bitches. You were lucky to get Carol."
Jim laughed, Daryl had always lusted after the sisters,"wellspring now we can plowshare them. carol got one matter right. You are a pervert !"
"I prefer uninhibited swinger."
The cat wore themselves out fucking the two new Cyborgs. They looked forward to testing the future level of the ArtSoul computer program. Both men hoped this new series would sell to the war machine and the world-wide public as companions, rather than just slaves. Daryl had made them billionaires already but he lusted after the baron wealthiness brought him. Jim however was well-off to please, he just wanted to force the boundaries of cybernetics as far as he could, the money was nice but it was n't his main goal.
Little did Jim or Daryl realise that two other intelligence activity were waiting patiently for them to complete their tests so they could win their independence .
