Time To Visit Another Sexy Doctor!

A few minutes on the elevator and it came to a stop and the doors opened to a short hallway leading to Dr. Meridian's Office.

"Here We Go.," Aaron thought as he got off the elevator. Aaron understood that every employee of Omen had to undergo intensive regular physical and psychological evaluations but Aaron didn't like anyone poking around in his head. He almost quit Omen before he was accepted because of their stringent interview protocols. 16 weeks of Exhaustive 8 hour a day Computer and Psychoanalytic Tests to say nothing of the Extensive Electro-Medical Check as well as several batteries of Psychiatric and Psycho-Computer Tests. The entire Psycho-Analytical Department was enthralled with Aaron because they'd never encountered a mind like his. It was not uncommon for people being interviewed for Omen to have a nervous breakdown but their computers and personnel had to struggle to keep up with Aaron instead of the other way around at least when it came to the mental aspect. Physically Aaron showed great potential but it was his mind that got him the job.

Aaron opened the door, passed through the waiting area, by The Secretary's desk which had a sign that said "Back In Fifteen" and knocked on Dr. Meridian's Door. A few seconds later the door opened and a tall and utterly stunning blonde greeted him with a warm, reassuring smile.

The Blonde in question was Dr. Chase Meridian or The Blonde British Bombshell as alot of Omen employees secretly referred to her. Ever since immigrating from The AEU Chase had been working for Omen as a Psychiatrist. Though the term "Psychiatrist" was a somewhat simplistic way to describe Dr. Meridian's skill set. Dr. Meridian is a Sixth Degree Psychologist specializing in Forensic Psychographic Profiling with an MD in General Surgery, 4 PhDs (Neurophysiology, Behavioral Science, Chemistry, and Mathematics), 3 BAs (Psychology, Sociology, Philosophy), and a MA in Psychotherapy with a concentration on Sexology. Being from The AEU had it's advantages, Those with the potential were trained to the very limits of excellence courtesy of one of The Best Educational Systems in The World. Dr. Meridian is truly the total package... Brains, Beauty, Breeding, and a Body to die for. To be honest she kinda looked like The Actress Nicole Kidman only younger, sexier, and smarter.

She extended her hand., "Vivyan told me you were coming. Please come in Aaron."

Aaron shook her hand., "Thank You Dr. Meridian.," Then entered. Chase directed him to a chair., "Please sit down won't you.," Then she closed the door.

Dr. Meridian took a seat at her desk across from Aaron, stilling smiling.

"So how have you been sleeping Aaron?... Has The Somnetic Inducer I gave you been helping?"

Another symptom of his unusual condition, Aaron's Brain functioned much more efficiency so he didn't seem to require as much sleep as the ordinary person. He was able to get by with only an hour or two a night but Dr. Meridian was concerned that his odd sleeping habits might have long-term cumulative psychological effects so she prescribed him a Somnetic Inducer (A Medical Device used to help those with Insomnia and a wide range of other Sleeping Disorders fall asleep and stay asleep).

"Good. I've been sleeping good. The Somnetic Inducer has really helped."

"That's good. I'm glad to hear it. Now Aaron today I would like to try something new if that's okay with you."

"Depends on what it is Dr. Meridian.," Aaron said, not a trace of emotion in his voice, his face or his body language.

Dr. Meridian's smile deepened., "I would like to try something called Accelerated Dream Therapy. Do you know what that is?"

"Accelerated Dream Therapy or ADT is a Controversial Psychiatric Therapy Technique Developed as a tool by Scientist Dr. Julius Rathenberg to Heighten and Enhance R.E.M. Sleep Dream States and Thereby shorten the lengthy process of Freudian Psychoanalysis involving Non-Invasive 40,000 MegaHertz Veda Gamma Wave Infusion."

"That's correct. Now I have to warn you Aaron there are certain dangers associated with this technique should you decide to go ahead."

"I am well aware Doctor. If misused or improperly directed the ELF (Extremely Low-Frequency Electromagnetic Waves) associated with ADT can be deadly. Patients can become trapped in a Permanent Hallucinatory State due to Extensive Tissue Damage to The Sub-Cortical Regions of The Brain as a result of The Electrolysis Induced By Veda Gamma Infusion. The Damage causes a form of Dementia with Centralized Delusions driving the patient to Homicide, Suicide, or both."

"Yes that's only at high output or if improperly monitored. There have also been recent advances that make the process even more safer reducing the risk significantly. I really believe this might provide some insight into the problems you have been experiencing."

"Explain to me what is involved and I will consider it Doctor."

"That's all I ask."

Aaron leaned back in his chair and listened attentively while Dr. Meridian explained., "First off we will be using this..."

Aaron watched as Dr. Meridian placed a small device on top of her desk for Aaron to see.

"This is..."

"A Neurocortical Monitor.," Aaron finished.

Dr. Meridian's eye twitched almost imperceptibly upon being interrupted,. "That's right. It's a Neurocortical Monitor. Once affixed to The Parietal Bone behind The Ear it is programmed to send an alert if it Detects Any Unusual Neurological Activity and it will allow me to Record a Complete Hyper Encephalographic Profile by Tracking and Recording your Neural Functions."

"Interesting.," Aaron commented.

"Secondly.," Dr. Meridian continued as she placed a second Neurocortical Monitor on her desk next to the first one., "I will be taking the risk with you. I will be using a second Neurocortical Monitor to connect your mind to mine which should allow me to "converse" for lack of a better word with both your conscious and subconscious minds which I'm confidant will give me some insight into the root of your insomnia as well as the other psychological difficulties we have discussed."

"You mean my stunted emotional growth?"

"Yes as well as the strange dreams you've told me about. I think there is more going on than we realize and The Accelerated Dream Therapy may be the best way to determine what is happening within the depths of your psyche but I don't want to pressure you. The procedure is entirely voluntary and if you choose not to undergo ADT then I won't **** things. We'll go back to more traditional methods and hopefully with enough time and patience we may come to some sort of satisfactory explanation."

"I would be lying if I said I didn't have reservations about allowing another person to snoop around inside my head but I would also be lying if I said that I wasn't intrigued by what you propose. I'm sure there's more to your proposal so please continue Doctor and once I have all the facts I will make my decision."

"Very well Aaron. To further reduce the risk I will be administering a number of medications. The first of which is Lexorin and Hyronalin. Lexorin has been used to great effect in minimizing and even preventing possible neurolytic shock during Accelerated Dream Therapy while Hyronalin will be used to counter any possibility of Radiation Poisoning. I will also give you Lectrazine to stabilize your Cardiovascular and Renal Systems and in combination with Hyronalin it will increase the Protection against Radiation Poisoning provided by Hyronalin and Counteract Hypertensive Shock and preempt Convulsions. As a precaution I will also be administering Inaprovaline which as you probably know is a Synaptic Stimulant and Cardio-Stimulant designed to Fortify Cell Membranes. To make you comfortable I will give you Mexhohexital, a Sedative which will relax you enough so that you can fall asleep and then I will begin the process."

Aaron was internally checking with Gog to assess the risk and the chance of success., "What Do You Think Gog? Will It Work?," Aaron inquired through their link.

"According To My Analysis There Is A High Probability That The Accelerated Dream Therapy Will Work As She Intends and With The Addition of The Neurocortical Monitor and The Specific Medications The Risk To Your Well-Being Is Indeed Rather Low Father."

"Thank You Gog."

Aaron heard Gog giggling through their shared link.

There was a moment of silence before Aaron spoke again., "I'm Sorry Gog But I Must Disconnect Our Link Temporarily."

"What? No, You CAN'T!," Gog yelled in a panic. Since Aaron created and implanted the technology for the link he had never once deactivated it or even contemplated deactivating it.

"Li-Listen...," Aaron tried to reassure the distraught and sobbing Artificial Intelligence., "... It Won't Be Permanent. I Am Confidant That The Protections In Place To Prevent Hacking or Detection Are More Than Adequate To Safeguard You My Precious Gog But I Am Not Willing To Take The Risk If There Is The Slightest Danger To You Which Is Why I Will Disable Our Connection For The Duration of The Procedure."

Moments before Aaron deactivated the link he heard Gog say in a Solemn whisper., "I Understand Father."

"I'll Make It Up To You I Promise.," Aaron thought, silently resolving himself to make it up to his Friend and though he was some what **** to use the word "Daughter."

Despite the length of the back and forth between Aaron and Gog very little actual time had passed and Dr. Meridian hadn't noticed anything different or off about Aaron while he was literally carrying on a conversation in his head with a Hyper-Dimensional Super Computer.

"Alright Dr. Meridian I'll allow it if you think it will help but I'd appreciate it if you didn't snoop around to far into my subconscious. I like my privacy and their are private thoughts and experiences that I would rather not share."

Chase smiled disarmingly., "There's no need to worry Aaron. I won't be able to look at your memories at least not the ones you'd rather I didn't see. The way the process works is by scanning the surface layers of your conscious and **** mind so only recent memories, thoughts or feelings will be accessible. Your problem if it is related to your psyche as I believe it is will be in one of those upper layers."

"Hmm I See.," Aaron stated thoughtfully.

"If you'll take a seat on the couch we can begin.," Chase gestured toward the comfortable looking couch across the room.

Without a word Aaron got up and moved to the couch and sat down.

"Now Aaron why don't you put your feet up, stretch out and relax?"

Aaron did as asked after removing and folding his jacket and tie.

"Very good.," Chase said as she got up, bringing a small tablet and a medical kit with her and sat down in a chair by the couch so that she was now facing the reclining Aaron.

After preparing several hyposprays with the discussed medications she leaned forward and placed the Neurocortical Monitor behind his ear and then once her tablet began receiving his data she proceeded to give Aaron the first of the injections., "Now I want you to count backwards from 10 and just let yourself drift away.," Dr. Meridian said softly as she finished off the injections with a sedative.

"10... 9... 8..."

"That's good Aaron. You're doing fine now keep counting for me."

"5... 4... 3..."

Aaron was now resting comfortably with his fingers interlaced and resting on his chest which slowly rose and fell.

"That took longer than I thought it would.," Dr. Meridian said to no one in particular as she double checked the readings on her tablet before setting it on the table in front of the couch. Dr. Meridian got up and made her way to her desk where she pulled a key on a chain from between her modest but still mouthwatering B-Cups and used it to open one of the bottom drawers of her desk. There was a blinding flash of light as she opened the drawer which faded quickly. Seemingly unfazed by the light, Dr. Meridian reached into the drawer and removed a strange looking device. It was roughly the size of a smart phone, appeared to be made of some form of stone, and it was covered in bizarre sigils that were constantly changing.

Holding the small stone mechanism, Dr. Meridian walked over to where Aaron lay **** and as she got closer the surface of the device slowly began to unfurl in an unsettling and very distinct non-Euclidean manner with the layers of stone separating and rustling like the pages in a book. Dr. Meridian sat back down and quickly referred to Aaron's readouts before holding the device toward Aaron's face. The mechanism's stony pages ceased their erratic activity and light erupted from it in brilliant shapes forming a peculiar and wholly unknown script that just hung in the air while above the razor thin pages of ebony stone an image slowly and meticulously took shape with details and form that no natural or unnatural object could possibly possess. It was both solid and yet it wasn't. It continually changed shape and dimension but even though it didn't resemble anything the human mind could possibly conceive it did in some strange or perhaps arcane way call to the mind of any who observed it the notion of a compass. However, Chase didn't seem to like whatever this "Compass" was showing her as evidenced by her furrowed brow.

"Hmm No Reaction... I Wish I Knew Why Micheal Was So Sure He Is One of Them.," Dr. Meridian said mildly frustrated.

The Strange Device vanished from Dr. Meridian's hand and at the same time the open drawer of her desk suddenly closed almost as if by itself with a audible click. Chase turned and picked up her tablet from the table and tapped the screen several times., "Perhaps a peek inside his mind will give me the answers I need. Hopefully that will appease Micheal." Seconds later an apparatus resembling the overhead lights used by Dentists was lowered from the ceiling just above the couch. Dr. Meridian tapped the screen again and a low hum sounded from the apparatus.

Dr. Meridian looked over the readings and when she was satisfied she placed the second Neurocortical Monitor behind her own ear., "Alright everything looks in order. Time to proceed to Phase Two... Initiating Cortical Link... Now."
