Ever-Life the Two Book Set: The C.P.T Incident and Time Trust by Andrew Sarkady

about their coats?”
    “Yes, Son; I do believe they are glowing?”
    “Dr. Bellos, Richard, this is Dr. LuAnne Rather , and Dr. Andrew Pine, whom you met earlier.”
    “Hello again, Sir,” Richard smiled and shook his hand. “I hope you’re a real person now.”
    “I’m leaving you two here for a bit,” Swanson said. “You’re in good hands. When you’re done, you can push the fob I gave you. I will return to pick you up. Please, be as attentive as you can.”
    He smiled and walked out the door at the far end of the area.
    “Well, we should get started. You may call me LuAnne, or Dr. LuAnne, if you like.”
    Dr. Andrew fidgeted a bit and said, “W-welcome to ‘ eh-Ever-life’, l- lab-202…um…W-we are ‘care holders’ and ‘group examiners’…um; w-we are going t-to…”
    “Oh for God’s sake Andy,” LuAnne interrupted. “You two must be buzzing with questions , by now. If we let you ask, we wouldn’t accomplish a thing today, and it is critical that you two give us a few minutes; so, if it’s all right with you?”
    Bellos and Richard shrugged.
    “All right then; to start with, Andy and I are ‘care holders’, of this lab section. We manage and perform special advanced medical procedures, within the worldwide ‘Ever-Life’ umbrella. Please follow me.”
    “Ever-life umbrella?” questioned Richard.
    Dr. LuAnne smiled. “Yes, in fact, in the entire world, you are the first today. I am sorry. Don’t be too shocked. The program is quite reliable, and always evolving. It started roughly 8000-years ago. Hmm, how do I put this?”
    Bellos interrupted as they walked , “Can you tell me something Doctor?”
    “If I can; certainly…”
    “Well, Mr. Swanson said , you all were ‘global’. Does everyone speak English?”
    “Yes, as a matter of fact, as far as I know, we all speak pretty much every used language. It’s fundamental. We are all able to share and learn knowledge , between us. Master Swanson could give you details on that, though.”
    “But, how do you learn it all?”
    Dr. Andrew looked at Bellos and grinned. “You will see.”
    “Come; this way,” Dr. Lu said. “Please, try not to let your mind wander, too much. Over there, that area; that is O.G.D.-Organ, Growth and Donate.”
    “Can we go over there?” asked Richard. “It looks familiar.”
    LuAnne gently urged them onward.
    “Later, if time permits, yes, of course. This Ever-Life facility consists of about 25,000-square feet of atomic, viral, cellular and final function organic growth. We research, evaluate and apply all manner of genetic biochemistry-or microbiology, to improve and extend life. We have records of ‘all’ known life dating back approximately 500-million years. I know that must sound fantastic, but we utilize our data banks of genetic indexing to grow almost anything. Over there, we seed cells of a specific recipient, and then grow partial or complete organs. Then, we implant; quite basic here, really.”
    “Well,” Bellos bragged, “we have researched and successfully grown various body parts; some have been used in cosmetic, kidney, liver, and some heart applications. And we can attach limbs given certain circumstances.”
    “Yes we know, d octor. Here, that kind of thing has been standard for a long time. We can supply the needs of any person or animal. We even use insect DNA, when appropriate. Genetics and miniaturization have been the foundation of all our work for millennia.”
    Bellos could not be quiet. “You mean you transplant organs , at will?”
    “Yes , of course; we do most micro, cell or tissue transplants or transfers daily, hourly. We have eliminated ‘most’ genetic mistakes, diseases and certainly most common ailments, as well as organ failures.”
    Bellos took a deep breath and shook his head, looking at everything. “Incredible, just incredible; what is the lifespan here? How do you perform heart transplants? What are all those holograms? …Can I just ask you about
