enough now that they had fixed him, to overpower that old dude. He was still locked in here with no way out and he had no idea who or what was on the other side of that magic door that he couldn’t open anyways. Yeah, it made sense to wait for the right opportunity, plus he didn’t want them using that freaky ray or whatever it was they demonstrated on the bread.
    “I think it best if maybe I focus upon the important points rather than explaining everything in detail now.”
    “Sure, sounds like a great plan, I am ready to get started,” Chase said eagerly.
    “Alright, well to continue, Mr. King used his new fortune and his scientific genius to come up with a way that he felt could best use his discovery without allowing the world to know about it and experience the terrible effects we discussed. One of his greatest fears was that he would one day become ill or die and either the discovery would be lost or that it would fall into the wrong hands. He began working in earnest on ways to strengthen his body and extend his lifespan, succeeding beyond anything he could have imagined. I won’t try and bore you with all of the details as they are quite technical and require an advanced scientific background to fully grasp their significance but I will explain what it means,” Armstrong told him.
    When the boy didn’t interrupt him he continued, “He created biological biobots, and using his discovery was able to shrink them to a size that would require a powerful microscope to see them.  These are extremely potent little machines that when released directly into the body are programmed to attach themselves to the DNA and make changes and improvements. Do you understand what DNA is and why this is so important?”
    “Sure we learned about it in school, it’s that double helix stuff with the chromosomes and genes that determine what you look like, right? Chase asked
    “Well yes, it’s a lot more complex than that and they not only control your appearance but your health and all the other effects in your body. After rigorous experiments on test animals he tested them upon himself as the first human subject and succeeded. With this treatment, he was able to improve his health, appearance, arresting the aging process and was even successful in making his body self-healing.  For all intents he is now immortal,” Armstrong answered.
    Looking at his body and seeing how it had miraculously been healed after his ordeal and quite frankly was even better than before, the implications of what Armstrong just told him hit home. “You did this treatment on me, didn’t you? Am I going to live forever?” He asked him with a stunned realization.
    “Yes, we gave you the treatment. It only takes a very small amount, one or two teaspoons of liquid is enough to hold billions of biobots. We had no choice, you were practically dead, and if we waited even another minute it would have been too late.”
    “Wow, I really am never going to die, that’s pretty cool,” Chase said as it all began to dawn on him.
    Armstrong continued, “It is actually much, much more than that. There are many other implications to the treatment. You will never get sick; you will never get any older than you are now and all of your senses have been heightened. Your body won’t deteriorate over time; in fact it will get better. Your digestive system has been improved so that it more efficiently converts everything you consume; you can eat anything and as much as you want and your weight will never change. The food will taste even better and you will never again need to use the toilet.”
    Chase sat stunned, it was really all too much to a take in at once. “What happens when my family starts to notice the differences in me? If I never go to the bathroom or get any older, not to mention the change in my appearance now?”
    Armstrong just looked at him, without directly offering an answer. “I’m never going home am I?” Chase stated as the full
