He and Felix get into a routine. When they experiment together, it’s like a dance - perfectly in sync as they pass each other scalpels and test tubes. The scalpel in his hand feels second nature when he takes a peek into someone else’s brain People from other Blocks arrive. Scientists, doctors, psychologists - he has so much to learn from them. And the brain surgery continues. Everyone’s brain is different, everyone who’s brain he cuts into is different. The Threshold is full of endless opportunity, endless possibility, endless discovery. And Ulysses wants one of those discoveries to be his own. The research paper is coming along nicely, and Ulysses is almost giddy at the prospect of sharing it will other Blocks. And April is an //attentive// apprentice. Their knowledge on science is lacking but they are more than happy to stand back and learn. Ulysses is a wonderful teacher, preferring a very hands-on approach. And while he may not trust April, yet, with the scalpel they have the very important job of passing him the equipment. The incident in which they mixed up a test tube and a drinking glass was a mistake that will not be repeated again. Ulysses also finds himself in the garden. He replaces, for a little while, the scalpel in his hand with a small shovel. The fertiliser he made has undoubtedly worked well, the flowers have bloomed and he thinks the air smells like the perfume many women he knew during his life wore. His hands are often in the soil, placing bulbs and seeds. He prunes the plants, cutting off the dead leaves and hoping they grow back stronger, healthier. And it makes him think of the brain, getting rid of the amnesia-scarred parts and hoping it grows back stronger. Eternity - the concept had terrified Ulysses at first, but he takes it one step at a time. There will be a day when he knows all he wishes to know and will likely wipe his mind, but that’s in the future. Today he will garden, tomorrow he’ll continue research into the brain. One day, he imagines, he’ll meet Christian again. But for now there is today and there is gardening that needs to be done. =====Highlights===== “Ethically sourced humans” - Felix eternities/ulysses_bennett.txt Last modified: 2025/03/13 13:19by gm_katy
