Jeff Moreau had to admit that he was quite enjoying what the attendant had called a "floaty chair". It combined all the benefits of a wheeled chair and made it so he didn't have to abuse his bones anymore. Besides floating around was cool even if he wouldn't say that out loud.
Jeff had just gotten though with a round of medical tests in preparation for being one of Paragon Industries' guinea pigs and had been escorted to a spare meeting room to wait. Hopefully this new treatment would fix his chronic skeletal issues. Then he could pursue his life's goal without the ever-present risk of snapping bones.
The room, like most of Paragon Industries, practically oozed high-tech. The equipment was top quality. The computer and extranet connection Jeff was using to entertain himself while he waited was lightning fast. Even the chairs were advanced technological gadgets and probably far more expensive then would be sane for a chair.
"Not that it's bad," Jeff mused as he leveraged the chair's powers of levitation to fetch another complimentary bottled drink.
The door opened letting in a girl and a man in a doctor's coat. The girl was easy to identify Rebecca Shepard, girl genus and inventor extraordinaire. Her introduction merely pointed out the obvious, "Hi, I'm Rebecca Shepard, or Revy is you prefer, this is Dr. Young, he's in charge of the testing for the Perficere project. And you are Jeff Moreau?"
"That would be me. Pleasure to meet you both."
"Pleasure to meet you as well Mr. Moreau," Dr. Young added.
Pleasantries thus exchanged the Doctor began detailing the test's results mostly covering medical details that Jeff was all to aware of. Dr. Young finally got to the end of his review saying, "All things told we'll probably need a full year of treatment to fix the bone structure. That does however give us a lot of time for the upgrade cycles."
"We have several options, the buff superman look has been very popular." the Doctor continued, switching the screen to show a 3d hologram of Jeff, but with the physique of a well muscled body builder.
"Of course we can go all out," the screen showed even buffer Jeff, "or go for something more moderate," the screen switched again showing a build more suited for an acrobat.
"Reflexes," Jeff injected during a pause, "I don't really care about being super strong or tough, just a bit more durable than I am now. But reflexes, agility, dexterity that stuff has high as you can go."
With a few key presses the screen shifted again. The on-screen Jeff changed, still athletic looking but defiantly built for agility. "Yeah like that."
"Well good then. I'll have the treatment setup for that."
After a long silence Rebecca finally chimed in, "I think you're the first male tester that was only interested in a more moderate level of strength, would you be willing to explain why?"
"Well, yeah... how do I explain this? I guess, I'm a pilot at heart. I fly things, even with a crippled body like mine I can fly things. Sure its only been aircars and a shuttles, but for me this," Jeff said taping his chest, "is for putting this," he tapped his head, "in charge of something that can do far more than any human body can do. So unless you can make me into a ship I'm not too worried about physical strength."
"Makes sense, well see about having some fight sims available for you. Hm... ship people... maybe with the new ANI? Then you'd have to..." Rebecca trailed of lost in thought.
Peak Human treatment now available and in testing. SA testing and approval process estimated to last a year. Though you could use it sooner on volunteers that sign a waiver.
