A Spit In The Eye - For The Benefit Of Mankind @page { margin-bottom: 5.000000pt; margin-top: 5.000000pt; } Section 7 ** High Office Command #444.134 OR33140 Resume Mass Broadcast * Welcome Screenreaders To another broadcast from OR33140 As can be seen and heard I am currently at the base of the land that rises up to my main place of employment and ahead you will see the substantial area of trees through which we are going to pass * From my rear camera If I just switch to that one for a moment Screenreaders will see the vast plain that stretches out behind me That runs all the way to an equally large area of liquid that stretches out for many kilometres Within the liquid lives many And various Forms of life Large and small That leaps from the liquid with displays of some skill * Back to my main optical devices And as Screenreaders can now see We are now deep into the growth of trees They grow thickly around us And the gaps between the trees is filled with other green growth Large and small But I am used to passing through such growth so Screenreaders need feel no discomfort Such places are cooler than the median temperature because of the growth of the trees Which overhang each other and keep out most of the warmth generated by the solar orb But they are still quite interesting places And here we are At the top of the hill And my main place of employment is ahead of us and we approach it as we always do Slowly Stepping from the trees with caution Without causing alarm to RolKils ±Who have been known to react with devastating force before receiving the signal that halts any of our species accidentally destroying another± * High Office Edict #6.3000.1111.4739.3 Information deleted as of no consequence to Screenreaders * And we pass through the outer area where high grasses grow and RolKils patrol and we move through the gates and the fences and in through the ingress Passing Defgars as we proceed along the corridor where there are many MengTechs and FoodTechs and DocTechs and Engineers and we pass through the many security checks before reaching the high platform where Screenreaders may gaze down Through my optical devices To where Humans are just gathering After awakening from their comatose state Some of them again stepping under flowing liquid before presenting themselves in the gathering area below Some large Humans with appendages between their lower limbs Scrape hair from their lower craniums before emerging into the area and their faces are shiny and bright when they appear Others The Senior Members of the Humans Gather in meetings in the central area to discuss matters relating to the Humans And sometimes Other Humans appear before them Standing on a fixed spot And members of the gathering raise their sound against a single Human and often that Human suffers some form of punishment Beatings Or whippings Or being taken away by others and placed in a room with no openings other than one small grating Where they sometimes spend some periods of light and dark I have never understood the desire Humans possess to punish their own kind But they have been doing it for many Many turns of light and darkness I have no understanding of their actions But as Screenreaders may observe All gatherings seem to be amicable during this period of light We shall now descend to the glass corridor and the fence to observe the Humans more closely And here we are on the lower level Observing Humans through thick glass * Personal Transmission * I do not observe the little Human who was responsible for infecting me But My feelings of joy at the possibility of seeing it have almost overwhelmed me I cannot observe the little Human anywhere in the area Where can it be Where can it be * As Screenreaders may observe All is calm in the area Though a single Human seems to be in some distress and is being comforted by other Humans We shall proceed to the fence corridor And we go down in the elevator And here we are As close as our species ever gets to the Humans * Personal Transmission * I cannot observe the little Human anywhere in the area Where is it Wait The distressed Human is the same one that speaks most often to the little Human Why is it distressed Could it be Could it be Could it be That MengTechs have the little Human It cannot be It has caused no offence It had caused no harm to any It gives great joy to many Including me I must keep all emotions hidden from High Office I must Or suffer termination * And so we proceed along the corridor Passing Defgars with their LazExts66 weapons held in their upper limbs And we proceed through the ingress towards where MengTechs experiment * High Office Intervention Mass Broadcast temporarily suspended OR33140 To spend only minimal time in MengTech areas * Personal Transmission * Obviously High Office does not wish screenreaders to observe how MengTechs experiment on Humans And I am travelling through the area * Cage 1 * An aged Human being experiment upon * Cage 2 * Another aged Human One with lumps on the upper part of the frame Also being experimented on I have observed the two Humans being together in the main area They seemed most close to each other * Cage 3 * * * Cage 3 * * * They have it * The MengTechs have the little Human Eve My inner core swells with an emotion stronger than sadness For a moment I believe I am going to explode for my core responds to the sight of the little Human with a rush of energy that I find most unusual But it feels correct for the situation Though I cannot halt my progress for long I must continue with my observations I almost reach out with my palm and touch the thick glass as a sign to the little Human but I restrain myself Such a movement would be observed by the MengTechs and would certainly get me exterminated But the MengTechs have the little Human on the table Strapped to it by firm straps And they have removed the glass optical replacement from the cavity And the modified palm which lies in a metal tray And clear liquid pours from little Humans one remaining optical device which is wide open As is her cranial orifice And I believe the little Human espies me Her inner coloured optical device is turned towards me She silently beseeches me And I believe the little Human is making great sound inside the cage though I cannot hear it due to the thickness of the glass MengTechs are excellent at keeping Humans from a comatose state while they experiment And 3 MengTechs experiment on the little Human Though it seems as if this is not an experimenting They are not trying to prove anything They are not trying to repair it They are not attempting to better it or derive answers to a problem And no DocTechs are present to record and analyse the happenings MengTechs are Seemingly Destroying the little Human And they are doing it slowly I cannot tarry And as I pass Cage 3 I glance momentarily at the little Human again Her optical device is closed but her cranial orifice remains wide open and red liquid trickles from it I will forever retain in my memory section the joy the little Human brought to me And I will remember too The MengTech that is drilling into the cranium of the little Human for what appears to be no reason whatsoever and the two that are removing the ends of the lower limbs Also for no reason For no reason For no reason The MengTechs are exterminating the little Human deliberately slowly and painfully for no reason This is not experimentation This is This is Something else It is * I am searching my word memories * A new word comes to me * Torture Meaning #1 to cause extreme physical pain #2 to give mental anguish * That is the word Torture It is torture The MengTechs are killing the little Human for no reason Except for their own satisfaction I feel engulfed by sadness and another emotion An emotion so strong that I am almost driven to race into the cage and destroy the MengTechs experimenting on the little Human I could do it I could destroy them Though I would be exterminated by Defgars It may be a reasonable action to take For the little Human has done no harm The little Human has done no injury It is light to me It is joy It is joy to me It is joy to me It is joy to me I cannot observe any longer I cannot I observe and record the identification numbers of the MengTechs MT261000 MT261340 MT261502 Beware MengTechs Beware I depart Cage 3 * High Office Instruction Mass Broadcast to recommence * And as Screenreaders may observe we are now returned to the corridor where Humans are closest Separated from our species by only the fence And none approach the fence on this occasion so we shall proceed to other areas of the facility…..
