“Incredible” Chapter 7
The Hulk Library (www.hulklibrary.com)
Now behind The Kwaidan Building was another structure, a smaller gray dome
with no windows. The entire smooth surface of the dome was in actually one
huge network of sensors and telemetry grids. This building was what The
Kwaidan Corporation was a front for. Here was where the billion and billions of
dollars The Kwaidan Corporation made were poured into. And while the name
of the building had a soothing sound it’s actually purpose and reason for
existence was one of technological horror.
For you see, this was Serenity Base.
One of the largest of the many conference halls inside the base was filling up
rapidly with representatives from many nations, many countries. Most of these
representatives were from other corporations, some from governments as official
representatives, some not. Others represented private interests. Nearly sixty men
and women from all over the globe had come at the summons of the brilliantly
deranged woman who was in charge of Serenity Base and the work being done
there.
They took their seats in the stadium-like conference hall, the quiet murmuring of
their conversation dying down as they made themselves comfortable and waited.
The lights were dimmed slightly, except for the recessed lighting illuminating the
circular stage. A door at the far end of the hall opened and a woman slowly
walked into the conference hall, graciously acknowledging the quiet ripple of
respectful applause that filled the hall.
She was dressed in a formfitting metallic suit of intricate design that shimmered
an iridescent pale cerulean. Circuitry inlaid on the surface of the suit in patterns
like those of ancient hieroglyphics from some future time. A row of crystal bars
perhaps two inches wide ran up the side of her left leg and her right arm. The
bars pulsed and throbbed with their own inner life. They gradually darkened
from maroon to sable, and then turned transparent and the cycle would start
again. Her head was bald save for a thin black ponytail that reached from the
back of her delicately shaped head almost to her knees. And as she stepped fully
into the light, another striking thing about her was immediately apparent:
Her skin was a rich, healthy, deep shape of green.
The woman was very beautiful indeed with neon blue eyes that demanded
attention and respect. Not a tall woman at all. Perhaps five feet three inches even
in her high heels. But her striking appearance along with the bizarre yet
wonderfully exotic metallic suit she wore gave her a stature that went beyond
mere height.
