Pr. Jenkins 12,567th Invention - Part 1: Mad Pr.

[The Liar]

Just setting the scene with this installment.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pr. Harvey Jenkins had been a child prodigy. One of those kids who has a half dozen P.H.D’s by the age of 10. The kind you either admire or hate.

His studies were numerous, and varied. He studied, engineering in all it’s forms, Ancient histories, Marketing and many more. He was a master of them all.

By the time he was 31 years of age, he was wealthy beyond belief. He owned thousands upon thousands of patents, from his inventions (though many were just variations on the same invention, to prevent people from stealing his inventions.) and they all sold well.

One of the most notable was the machine nanobots. To clarify what “machine nanobots” are, they’re nanobots that fix machines, though they have yet to come up with ones that can heal humans. As Pr. Jenkins explained “Machines are standardized, and static. Where as living things
are varied and changing. That makes thing much more difficult.”

In addition to all the patents and money, Pr. Jenkins also built a university and, had creatively named it “Jenkins University”. As well as being owner and founder of it, he also taught there. Ancient Studies, and Sociology. He wouldn’t touch the tech classes, preferred to work on such things as opposed teach it.

Another thing to note was his house. It was a big strange house, and not surprisingly he designed it himself. It was built near the university, the outside was a mix of Victorian style and something you’d see in a sci-fi pulp magazine. The inside was divided into levels, the ground floor was like a museum of ancient history, the basement was a series of sterile labs that he worked on his inventions, the sub-basement was a massive storage area, as for the second a third floors, well no one really knows what’s on them.

Standing at the gates of this aberrant architecture, was a young man of about 21, he was 5 foot, with brown hair and glasses. He was a student at JU who had been invited here by Pr. Jenkins, to his house. Though it was definitely an honor to be invited, the place was kind of creepy, and he
wasn’t exactly sure why he was here. Pr. Jenkins just said he wanted to show him something.

After a moment the man screwed up his courage and walked through the gate and knocked on the door. A thin tallish man with glasses and messy hair, in a lab coat answered the door. This was Pr. Jenkins.

“Woodworth! As I live and breath, what are you doing here?” Pr. Jenkins cried out happily.

“Sir, it’s Williams, Gerald Williams, not Woodworth. I’m one of your students a Jenkins university. You asked me here.” the young man now known as Gerald replied some what confused. I should, at this point, take a moment to state that although Pr. Jenkins does have a reputation of genius inventor and scientist, a generous philanthropist, and numerous other impressive things. He also know to be a flake.

“Ah, yes. Of course. In Sociology right?” asked Pr. Jenkins.

“Um, no ancient studies.” replied Gerald.

“Ahh, that was my second guess.” Responded Pr. Jenkins proudly. A really big flake.

“But, please come in. I knew I was expecting someone, so I’m guessing it’s you. ” Pr. Jenkins asked as he hurried Gerald into the living room.

“Tea?” Pr. Jenkins asked Gerald, as he poured himself a cup.

“Um, no, thank you. You said there was something you wanted to show me. You don’t happen to remember what it was do you?” Gerald asked somewhat despondently. He had pretty much given up hope that Pr. Jenkins could recall why he had asked him here. ‘Well’ thought Gerald ‘at the very least I’ll have an interesting story to tell my friends.’

“Hmm, I vaguely recall wanting to show someone something.” mused Pr. Jenkins as he sipped his tea, “I think it was in storage somewhere. If we head down there I’m sure something will jog my memory.” at that Pr. Jenkins hurriedly drank down the rest of his tea.

It was mentioned that to get to storage you had to go through, the lab section, witch was connected to it by a long metal hall. With doors and windows opening into the various labs. There was no noise except the hum of machines and Pr. Jenkins mumbling to himself under his
breath, trying to remember what he had forgotten. It was eerie.

Gerald looked through the windows as he passed. There were strange specimens and machines. It wasn’t doing much to help his disposition. Then he stopped at one window and gasped. In it there was an inclined table. It was turned away so he couldn’t see exactly what was on it but he
could make what looked a human hand.

There were rumors about the strange experiments, that Pr. Jenkins did down here. Tales of grave robbing and human experiments. Gerald had always just dismissed them as just rumors, but now he wasn’t so sure.

Pr. Jenkins noticed him stop.

“Oh yes, this is my latest project.” Pr. Jenkins said proudly looking at the door . “It’s a master piece. Really I must show you.” and Pr. Jenkins forced Gerald through the door.

“Look! Look!” Pr. Jenkins chimed, as he went to the table and turned it toward Gerald.

Gerald had been bracing himself for whatever morbid abomination that Pr. Jenkins had cooked up, when he finally saw it his mind went blank and he did a double take. At first he had thought it was a dead girl in keeping with his macabre fears, but only for a moment. Girls didn’t have
seams on them, at least not these kind of seams. They weren’t, stitched up Frankenstein’s monster kind of seams. They were assembled machine kind of seams. The girl was a robot ...
