Ty thought it was an excellent idea he had. Most people had made drones to go onto other planets but he made drones and rovers... a mini robot army. All his robots had tough tungsten exoskeletons arranged in a specific way he asked for so that his project could withstand the 93 bars of pressure cooking at close to 500 degrees Celsius. Although most of Team Gamma planned to do research for something expected and within their range, Ty had set out to do something a little more ambitious, a lot like Josette had. The twins sat in their dark rooms with their hologram computers being the only source of light. Ty scribbling and scratching, Josette almost pulling out her hair while mumbling calculations.
"Ty, Josette you two need to sleep. This is the third all-nighter you've pulled at this point its counterproductive." their mom advised in a state between awake and asleep. It was 2:00am and the night was still young according to the twins. She was met only by the sound of Ty sipping coffee in annoyance.
"JOSETTE! CAN WE BUILD A SHRINK RAY!" Ty yelled from his room.
"WHAT ARE WE? LIVING IN A SCI-FI...BE REALISTIC, MORON!" She yelled back
"Fine then...I guess I'll have to settle for crazy amounts of energy." He said to himself.
Soon enough they both got tired and unlike their tireless drones dozed off to sleep.
"Many say that professor but on a serious note be super realistic...cant you see were developing into a new species altogether...a whole technological and scientific civilization. We've nearly perfected AI, robots will be what the 2030 generation had envisioned in only a matter of years" he said as they strolled down the hallways.
"YES. The kids these days are impressive as well. What I's give to be them back in the day...especially those who get accepted into the IPSA. To study a month at most then develop your own project and research." the old man agreed with the Chief.
" Well," the Chief chuckled, "that's what you can expect living on the forefront of science albeit I would have preferred an outcome where we didn't have to sacrifice some of our fellow brethren like in the Third World War and when........nevermind I'm getting ahead of myself. Why don't you show me how far your work has gone in the rapid mitotic division drug, Raymond." the chief always and an eerie calmness to his tone.
Once all the files were uploaded onto his Disc, Ty took one last look in the mirror. His African hair was neatly combed, huge at the top and a bit faded on the sides. He proudly stroked his pubescent goatee almost defined against his brown skin. He looked into his deep brown eyes and saw the fires of passion for science burning wildly...as they should be. His sister wrapped her silky black hair into a neat Asian style bun. They strolled out of the house in nervous confidence. They wore matching black lab coat style and red and white sneakers, as twin would.
"We got this..." Ty brought his fist up and Josette bumped it with her own saying
"We got this..."
