"General, we're ready to begin at any time." said one of the scientists.
Several IV Needles have been attached to Jaune while still in cryo sleep in order for the transference of spider DNA to actually happen. He's still in cryo sleep right now as well, in order to make the procedure as quick and painless as they can make it. After all, since he's still just a young child, Jaune doesn't have the necessary pain tolerance to handle the process of DNA splicing if he were still awake. Ironwood walked up to the tank and looked at the child.
He's sort of fifty/fifty about this whole thing. On one hand, if it were up to him, the boy would have been adopted by his good friend (and former love interest) Glynda Goodwitch so he could be trained to be a Huntsman and live at least a semi-normal childhood. On the other hand, this experiment is for the greater good of Remnant as a whole. True, his bosses on the Atlas Council and even Nick Fury only want this to succeed so they have super soldiers for their whole 'Avengers Initiative', and possible biological weapons to use for warfare like they did with Captain America during a previous war before the captain froze himself in the ocean to prevent a bombing that would have destroyed everything and everyone.
That's why Ironwood is one step ahead of them. He's already called Peter Parker, better known around the world as the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, on a private line to make sure no one would listen in on or intercept their phonecall. Once he did that, the general took the time to explain Jaune's situation, and has arranged for an accident to occur during the experiment that will not only destroy the lab, but also all data on the project to prevent something like this from ever happening again. Peter has agreed to adopt Jaune and train him in how to use his spider powers, fully believing that the lad will in fact survive.
And that's a sentiment Ironwood shares with the web swinger.
"Then begin the process immediately." Ironwood ordered.
The scientist nodded and gave the okay to his colleagues.
Having their orders, they all got to work immediately. Several switches were flipped as they activated the generators that will give power to the rather large machine. And from the sound of things, everything is going exactly as planned. Next, a female scientist pushed several color coded buttons in the correct order and began to collect the necessary amount of DNA from the spider they have in containment. However, that amount was just about everything the spider could possibly give. As such, it died when the DNA extraction was complete.
"DNA harvest: success. Proceeding ahead with the bonding procedure." reported the same female scientist.
This is the moment of truth. Although Ironwood wishes there was another way, he knows this is for the betterment of Remnant.
If this experiment finally succeeds, they just might be able to recreate one of the greatest heroes to ever live: Spider-Man! Specifically, they're trying to recreate the DNA of Peter Parker, Ironwood's acquaintance and the original Spider-Man. But unfortunately for Atlas and its military, they can't even hope to get so much as a sample of saliva to acquire any of his DNA. They had to build this project from the ground up.
Starting with a single. Simple. Spider.
Inhaling deeply, Ironwood steeled his resolve as he prepared to put his own plan into action very soon.
"Do it!"
Two other scientists, a big burly man and an old woman (who can only be described as scary beyond all reason) were prepared for this very moment.
"Pull the lever, Kronk!" ordered the old lady.
The man, Kronk, pulled the lever…
Only for a trap door to open up under the old lady and send her plummeting to what's most likely an underground waterway.
"WRONG LEVEEEEEER!"
There was a resounding splash as everyone just stared, wondering what the hell they had just witnessed.
"Oops." Kronk simply said.
The old lady soon walked back into the lab, soaking wet and with a crocodile biting her on the butt. A painful yet oddly comical sight.
"Why do we even HAVE that lever?" she asked herself.
She slapped the crocodile to make it let go as it whimpered like a dog and ran away. The old lady stomped her way up to the controls.
"Get out of my way!" she said rudely before pulling a different lever.
This time, something related to the experiment happened.
The pod that held Jaune in stasis began crackling to life with electrical currents as red liquid began to flow through the IV tubes currently attached to the boy. His body began to spasm as the voltage of the electricity went up, causing the spider DNA to bond to Jaune's own human DNA. Several scientists monitoring his vital signs and noted how, aside from a slight increase in the boy's heart rate, his vital signs are remaining stable. No worries so far.
The only visible change thus far is the fact that Jaune's hair darkened until it was a dark gold color instead of the bright yellow it once was. At least one way to show he's no longer connected to that elitist bastard known as Vladimir Arc.
With a loud *ding* from an egg timer that somebody decided to use to replace a missing part, everyone knows the procedure is finished. Another scientist pulls another set of levers that turns off the machine and begins to drain the liquid from the pod that holds Jaune.
"The subject's vital signs are stable. No deadly anomalies detected. It appears as though this particular experiment is a success." a researcher reported.
"Take him to my private Chambers and get him into a bunk. I want to monitor his vitals and ensure he doesn't end up like all the other past test subjects." Ironwood ordered.
With a quick call of 'yes sir!' from the guards, the lad was picked up and carried out. This is good for the General. For now is the time for him to implement the next phase of his plan.
*To Be Continued…*
Yeah, I had a very hard time deciding just what kind of Spider-Man I wanted Jaune to be here. I was tied between Tarantula, Kid Arachnid (Miles Morales) and Miguel O'Hara (Spider-Man 2099). Eventually, I settled on using Kid Arachnid for Jaune's character. The only major difference here will be that, like Spider-Man 2099, Jaune won't need compact web shooter devices to use Spider-Man's web abilities. He has organic spinnerets in his arms which allow him to produce natural webbing. Well, that's all for today. See you next time.
