Vengeance Prologue

Story by Drake Silverscale on SoFurry

, , , ,

My attempt at writing a drama story. Let me know what you think.


"The stench, the stench of summer sex and CK eternity, oh, hell, yes"

"Drake"

"I can work a miracle, work a miracle"

"Drake!"

"She wants to dance like-"

"DRAKE SILVERSCALE!"

Said dragon jumped and quickly spun on his heels while removing his earbuds.

"Y-yes?" He answered rather bashfully till his eye caught a angry female tiger.

"O-oh hello Mrs. Johnson, it is nice to see you, looking great today, is that a new hair due. it looks fantastic I...uhm...how can I help you" Drake rambled until she held up her paw.

"Drake you are one of our finest students, you know that don't you?" She asked and he blushed and looked down in embarrassment.

"Well I knew I was a top student but the best..." Drake started and paused when she held her paw up once more.

"Indeed, the best in your field. However you are one of the dumbest students as well. You have a gift...because of it, our school has had many grants...and yet you...you waste it on...this" the tigress said disdainfully as she motioned at a screen that had a simple flash animation of a female tiger that look remarkably like her being eaten by a alligator. She turned toward the young dragon who shrugged.

"I got bored.." he offered.

"Drake...you are in one of the most, if not the most prized colleges. We push our students to achieve the best and brightest future they have...and Drake...you may be great at many computer subjects...but animation is not one of them. "

"Like I said, I got bored" Drake shrugged and looked toward a monitor.

"Drake you are on a team developing one of the most amazing pieces of Virtual Reality equipment known to the public. You found a way to have realistic sensations in there!" She yelled and pointed out a window that lead into another part of the lab they were standing in. It was a pure white room with a small gray conveyor built into the floor.

"Its no big deal..." Drake said and went to walk out of the room.

"If it isn't then someone else would have found it and marketed it. Drake you can do so much good with this. Imagine, people could visit distant countries and never have to leave there homes. You can give paralyzed patents a chance to walk down the beach with their significant other, while never having to move. " She said as Drake looked at the room.

"So I am making people lazy?" He asked and the tigress growled.

"That is not what I meant." She sighed and let go of his arm.


"Are we ready to test the advanced haptic tech engine?" Drake asked his assistant who was currently hooked into many monitors.

"Good, I will load up the demo for you Sam" the dragon said and walked into the control room. He sat down and typed up the command and sat back to look at the monitors.

"Everything seems to be going well" Drake said over a loud speaker.

"Great, hey Drake?" the wolf asked.

"hmm?" he replied.

"How does this thing work again?" the wolf asked as he walked over the conveyor.

Well right now we are recording your brain, so that we can mimic the sensation of walking in later test, there are tiny little wires that are surrounding your head and every feeling and motion you have is sent to a system that applies that to a 3D model in the virtual environment we have set up. To make it easy, what you do, the player does and the wires reduce lag."

"Cool!" The wolf said waging his tail, drake chuckled as he noticed that the players tail wagged as well.

"Ladies and gentlemen, imagine if you will, being able to visit your favorite fantasy worlds and being able to feel and sense every part of it. Or if that isn't for you, being able to visit that distant relative and being able to have lunch with them without ever having to move a finger. What I say might sound like pure science fiction, but FRU is able to give this amazing gift to you, I would like to welcome Dr. Silverscale and his team that have made this dream a reality! Lets give them a round of applause!" Said a very nicely dressed male rhino. The audience's attention turned to a group of 4 college graduates that had just walked out onto the stage. Drake, the tallest of them walked over to a podium.

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, Uhm I am Drake and as you may have heard I have developed a way to make dreams a reality. May I present to you, the HypNOS or the Hapticly Perceived Neural Operating System" Drake said holding up a sleek looking black helmet and backpack. He walked over to the wolf that had tested the prototype earlier.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to present to you, my little brother and best friend, Jason he has helped me all through this project." Drake said and the audience clapped as Jason put on the equipment.

"Now please turn your attention to the screen above us and some televisions we have set up for those who are in the back. This will show a live feed of what Jason sees in the HypNOS. Jason are you ready?" Drake asked and the wolf nodded and smiled. "We will now simulate...oh...say...the beach for Jason to enjoy" Drake said and typed on his laptop. The audience looked at the monitor as it blinked to life and as drake said it was a well rendered 3d beach, it looked as if it was a video pulled from a home movie.

"Jason, what do you smell?" Drake asked.

"Salt...and heat" the wolf said as he looked around.

"HOW DO WE KNOW THAT IS WHAT HE SMELLS?" A audience member suddenly asked, the monitor flashed and had a live image of a brain.

"This is Jason's brain, we are viewing it live, as you can see we are feeding electrical impulses to it to simulate sensations such as taste, touch, feel" Drake said and switched it back to the live feed.

"So Jason, lets send you to your favorite video game, how does that sound?" Drake said smiling as the audience watched.

"Sure, um send me to counter strike" He barked happily. Drake typed and the audience suddenly watched as Jason, while standing in place moved through the game.

"As you can see ladies and gentlemen this system is

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" A suddenly blood curling scream was let loose as everyone's eyes went one stage to Jason who had collapsed on stage, Drake ran to him and swallowed as he saw blood pooling around him, he quickly pulled the helmet off of his little brother and held him.

"JASON!" He yelled and put his claw over a hole that had formed in his brothers head.
