The United Kingdom, America's staunchest ally and closest friend, was, unlike other nations, very involved in the war.
The British Government had, for years, worked to prevent a stand-off between the US and China. They poured billions of pounds into the espionage and national security services. They created a nation under constant watch from every angle.
In secret, their spies crawled all over the bloated, increasingly paranoid US. From Maryland to California, these spies peered at the American's technologies, the ones that they refused to share willingly. The most intriguing, however, were the grusome experiments of one 'Professor Calvert'.
Calvert was a genius, an American genius, but a genius none-the-less. Through their networks, the British had heard whispers of huge advances in Robobrain technology.
These advances, to the British, were astounding; it was well known that the British were interested in Psykers. Extremely interested. So interested were they, that out of the blue, British citizens experiencing 'metal pains' tended to disappear. Some returned, disorientated and confused, but many never returned. These advances meant that they could not only preserve the brain of a Psyker in liquid, but connect it to a Central Computer of sorts. With this system, they would have unlimited control; they would be able to control minds.
Despite the renowned skill of the British spies, Calvert was not a fool. He watched the spy sent by the British closely as he watched his experiments, scrutinizing his every move. The most important men in British intelligence agreed; for Britain's relations with the Americans to survive intact, the spy had to go.
The spy suceeded in passing the data to his masters, but the consequences, for him, were unimaginable. Of course, he stopped thinking about 'consequences' after he recieved his burn notice. |
