INCUBUS CLONING TECHNOLOGY - 470 N, 130 E - FLASHBACK, ROME
It was his life’s work and what dedication it had taken. Unlike many other scientists
Franco Francisco’s dream had taken eighteen years before yielding any definite proof of success. The vision had been to create a machine to alleviate the dangers inherent in pregnancy and childbirth. He’d figured if reptiles and birds had evolved a unique way of multiplying embryo development outside the womb, then man could do the same. The egg we all take for granted is a miracle of biological engineering, and even then it needs external warmth. Could he improve on it?
“I’ve put in as much detail as is necessary so that any capable engineer can build the device. Is that not so?” Franco said defensively. He could almost hear the man on the other end of the phone thinking.
“Is that as far as you want to go,” said the voice.
Franco thought about this for a while. “That depends. What are you suggesting?”
“Have you everything you need,” said the voice, “or would help speed things along?”
“What kind of help?”
“How about lunch in an hour, the Piazza della Liberta just across the Margherita crossing? There’s a nice restaurant I know”
“I know it,” said Franco. “The Branziarro. How will I know you?”
“I’m wearing a white hat.”
The man stood up and lifted his hat. “Roberto Ferrara at your service.” Franco shook his outstretched hand and they say down.
Franco nodded pleased with the choice. “And a Cola for me, do you have the one with cane sugar?”
“Naturally,” said the waiter setting out fresh cutlery.
Ferrara smiled at Francisco. “I’ll come straight to the point. We’d like to help kickstart your project and you don’t have the time it deserves, do you?” That was true, but Franco needed to work to pay his bills. Ferrara continued. “You’ll need funding and space
for experiment. Am I right?” Franco just nodded, his host was saying all the right things – no need to interrupt him. “The question is, if we bankrolled the project would you give up the hospital?”
"Naturally. And now, and sorry to be so direct, but assuming you have no ties in Italy ..."
Francisco looked uncomfortable.
"Apologies, but if I am right, the other important question is..." Ferrara hesitated.
"Go ahead ask," said Franco, thinking he may as well get it over with, whatever is was.
"Well, er, okay then here it is. Would you mind relocating to a laboratory overseas?"
Franco mulled this one over, with a furrowed brow.
A waiter came over balancing two House Specials. "Spaghetti alla bolognese." The portly, middle aged restaurateur, deftly laid one plate in front of Ferrara. "Signore."
"Grazie."
"Prego," said the waiter, as he smoothly changed position to serve the still ponderous scientist. "Signore."
"Molto apprezzato," Franco offered on autopilot.
"Sei più che benvenuto, signore". The waiter set a parmesan cheese grinder down, and bowed out. "Buon appetito."
Both customers looked at their impressive portions. And for that the waiter departed, satisfaction written all over his face.
"I'd have my own laboratory?"
"Signore Francisco, you'd have all the facilities you need. No expense spared. I can assure you. You'd have air conditioned apartments and house servants. All with the highest levels of security."
Franco nodded thoughtfully.
"You'd be working with other experts in their field, should you need anything developed outside of your specialization."
Franco lifted his glass of cola, Ferrara lifted his water glass. They chinked.
"Okay" said Franco, "One other thing. Where am I going?"
"A tropical paradise in Brazil, replied Ferrara"
That brought forward a huge sigh of appreciation from Franco Francisco, much to the relief of Roberto Ferrara.
And so Franco's research took on a whole new turn of speed.
