Melanie felt nothing. Literally nothing. She lurched forward, touching him again, but because there was nothing to connect to, she was just attached to the emptiness of it all. It was an extremely new feeling to her and it frightened her to her very core. “This is the first time I’ve felt nothing,” she whispered, pulling away. She turned to Eltiask, looking him in the eye. “What do we do now?”
A dead body was relatively easier to deal with than a vegetable. Melanie’s mind flashed back to the countless experiments done on her during her childhood. Even when people were declared braindead, she was still able to pull memories and thoughts from them. This person just didn’t seem to exist. Her mind just couldn’t accept that explanation, so she went towards the man again, putting both her hands on either side of his head and looking into his empty eyes. She reached far into the depths of his brain, her eyes starting to glow as she exerted all her power.
Finally something. It was very small, barely noticeable, but it was there. A pulse. Melanie reached further in, pushing herself into the tiny space. She pulled away quickly, taking a moment to orient herself. “There’s a microchip in his brain.”
