"Hello Dexter how are you doing?" Arnold asked with a bright smile.
"I am good, I just want to ask when my parents can come and visit." Arnold froze after he heard what Dexter said but it only lasted for a moment before he went back to normal, still Dexter caught the change in his action.
"Don't worry they would be visiting soon, you are not yet ready to get visitors so just wait a moment." Arnold said in his usual commanding fashion before he left the room.
"You noticed it right?" Asked Ana, "The way he acted was weird and his answer was even weirder." Replied Dexter.
"So are you ready to escape now?" Asked Ana and Dexter nodded.
After Arnold left he felt something weird about the encounter with Dexter, so he called a nurse and asked her to keep a close eye on Dexter.
The nurse nodded and left the room.
**************
"So how do you plan on escaping?" Dexter asked still not sure what the exact plan was.
"First of all you need to increase your IQ and Brain percentage, as well as aquire new skills."
"And how am I going to do all that?" Asked Dexter.
"It is simple, I am the one that will increase your IQ and Brain percentage, I will give you a task and you would have to complete that task to increase your IQ and Brain percentage, the higher your IQ the more easier it is to learn new skills." Ana explain.
"So what is the task the I have to do?" "Escape the bunker."
Dexter thought he had just heard a joke, the task he had to do was already a major problem that he faced, how was he then meant to increase his IQ and Brain percentage before completing the task.
Ana noticed his confusion and explained,
"The task I told you is a major task, task's are divided into major tasks and minor tasks, major task are task that will have a major impact on your life while minor tasks have a minor impact on your life as the name suggests."
"So what minor tasks is available?" Dexter asked in anticipation he really hoped it was something he could accomplish.
{ Searching For Most Optimal Minor Task }
{Learn A Skill}
Now Dexter just wanted to punch something, what kind of skill could he be able to learn on a hospital bed.
"Don't worry, I can upload skills directly into your brain, the amount of skills you can learn and the extent you can learn the skill, depends on your IQ and Brain percentage." Ana explained.
"Ok, so which skill are you going to upload first?" Dexter asked.
As he finished speaking he saw the interface pop up again, but this time it was showing something different.
[
Skills being downloaded: Martial Arts Skills, Assassination Skills, Sneak attack skills.
Body Requirement: IQ: 130+, Brain percentage: 8.0%+, Flexibility: High
]
After Dexter read the interface he realized he could download the skill but there was a problem, he did not know the level of his flexibility.
Then another interface popped up,
{
Body:
Flexibility: Medium
Stamina: Medium
Pain Reception: Medium
Vitals: Steady
}
Dexter looked at the interface and became gloomy, "Ana how can I increase my flexibility?"
"You only have one way in increasing your flexibility and that is by training." When Dexter heard that he was disappointed
'I guess life isn't a bed of roses.' Dexter thought and started to train after the skills were downloaded.
So that them became the system, he would act like a normal patient when the nurses and Arnold came to see him, but he would train harder than ever when that left.
The nurse that was meant to keep an eye on Dexter hadn't noticed anything strange about him, that is because Ana tracked the time perfectly, when the nurse was watching she would tell Dexter to act like a normal patient but when she wasn't watching Dexter would continue training.
This continued for two weeks and by now Mr. Lopez has had enough of this wasted endeavor and called Arnold to have a word with him.
Arnold entered Mr Lopez's office filled with tension, he hadn't even entered the room fully when Mr Lopez spoke.
"I'm ending the project." That was all he said but it carried a lot of weight for Arnold as he had put a lot of sweat, effort and soul into the project all to see it fail.
Arnold packed his bags and left the bunker, Now just because Arnold had failed didn't mean Dexter was going to be released yet, they did not want any problems or stolen tech, they didn't have to worry about that for Arnold as he signed a Non- Disclosure Agreement but Dexter the tech was in him so they couldn't let him go.
Dexter was sleeping when Ana shouted loudly in his mind, "Wake up."
Dexter was immediately awoken by her loud outburst and when he was about to shout at her her she said, "It's time to escape."
