A dark caption.

"Fascinating," Dr. Cassie Holden said as she looked at it. "It seems so futuristic."

"Like something out of the year 2000." Dr. Marcus Valentine said with a laugh. "Seems so far off, that year, but it'll be here soon enough."

"Think anything will actually look like that in 2000?" Dr. Holden asked with a smile.

"No," Dr. Valentine laughed. "But it sounds good, right?"

"It does indeed." She said. "So, what is this one for? Life support?"

"Yes, this model can store two brains, believe it or not, one in a top compartment and one in a lower compartment. We have something similar for a head. It's about a third wider in diameter and just one compartment but otherwise the same. Keep it in that gel and keep the life support systems going and it'll keep for decades."

"Now we just need to get the last part of this. A viable transplant surgery."

"Well, I've been meaning to talk to you about that."

She turned, a smile on her face.

"You've made progress?"

"Progress? We've made the journey. We've done it. Here, the team is getting ready for their second test. Want in on this?"

"Yes!" She said. "I've always been fascinated by neuroscience."

"You have an excellent mind for it, my dear. Right this way."

It wasn't even a half a day later that Dr. Valentine sat there, looking at a printout of the results in one of their other experimental lab. This one had a bit of a different look to it than other lab.

He sat there, reading it, and crossed his shapely legs, conscious of the feeling of hairlessness and hosiery on his thin, womanly legs. He put a hand to his neck, rubbing slightly against the bandages that were largely hidden by the Dr. Holden's shirt.

He went back to reading and after a few moment an assistant came in, still dressed as for surgery.

"Did it work?" Dr. Valentine asked, looking up.

"Yes, and we did a full medical work-up. No brain damage, no issues, her head is secure in one of the life support devices.

"Do you have the voice communication up yet? Or the attachable robotic arms?"

"The voice synthesizer? Yes. The attachable unit is ready, but we haven't tried it yet."

"Is she conscious?"

"Not yet."

"Let me know what she wakes up. She'll be angry, of course, but I think her pioneering spirit will understand the sacrifices needs to be made in the furthering of any new scientific endeavor. Besides, I'll have her look at it this way, she can still continue her work and who knows, she may even been more efficient at the task! She's an excellent mind and we long as we have that still, we can make the rest work!"
