Annie’s POV:
"How's the wirings? Is everything fixed?" asked Dr. Ye.
"Yes, it's fixed. Everything is ready for the machine to work. Are we going to go up with the team?" I will ask.
"Later, wait for Dr. Ming's signal. Check the papers and the guests if they are complete so that nothing goes wrong. I hope there will be no mistakes, everyone expects. If something goes wrong, you will be responsible, adding that the whole world will see it. The step of this project cannot end in nothing. This is one of the big changes that will happen for Project Melos," Dra. He said flatly before we turned away.
I'm eight months pregnant and only about two weeks until my ninth month. Bonnie and I are about to give birth, we just have a little more time to wait. I hope this project will be a success because I don't know what will happen to my son if it fails.
Project Melos has also been making better progress in recent months. The machine we created is the AMM-1GRM, which stands for Project Melos 1 - 5D Injection Ultrasound.
Many will not believe it, yes, but this is the modern world. AMM-1GRM will succeed in its trial in a pregnant woman. They chose Bonnie because I am the leader of the team that will fix the equipment, charge, circuit, power source, etc., of the machine here below. Because we are the only pregnant women and instead of taking from others, we are the ones who take the test subject. It is safe because of what we know.
The AMM-1GRM process has a tube that is inserted into the vagina itself, similar to a transvaginal ultrasound process, and inside the tube, there is a nano-camera that comes out. The gestational sac will be punctured first, but because it is a nano camera that has a sharp edge and uses a mixture of science and advanced technology, the gestational sac will not be punctured and the baby's body can be studied directly. It was created to be safe because safety and health are the main goals of this project. It is for the change and the punctuation of the Melos Syndrome that Project Melos seeks.
There, a nano camera can rotate to capture a 5D image of the baby. You can see where the water sac is formed and there you can get a sample of how it is formed and what type of water sac is found in the baby. The test was first done on a paid surrogate mother of our company. The baby's water sac was found all over his right arm. Ivana Alimona, who is the test subject, is still in our care so that her baby's water sac can be studied further. The Project Melos Movement will soon find a way to find an answer to what a water sac is and how it forms. As for the origin of Project Melos, I can already feel it. Just don't be fooled because it will definitely stop.
"Come on, Ma'am Annie. Let's go up to the conference room. It's only 10 minutes before it starts," Cassie, my assistant, reminded me so I notified my team to go up.
I was promoted because of my skills in analyzing problems and advanced studying. I easily understood everyone's ins and outs about this project. I am also one of the developers of how AMM-1GRM will be safe for both the baby and the mother. It was a big success for us. We are going to show it to the president of Equinoxia so that once it is approved and proven, it will be released to the world and we will all be recognized for this success. But of course, it doesn't end there. We have only created a machine, we still haven't discovered the origin of Melos Syndrome and what we can do to fight it. Melos Syndrome is not a virus so it cannot be cured. Antidote is the only thing that can be used but we can't invent that if we don't discover the root and end.
When we got to the conference room there was no one. My team was surprised. where is everyone
"Maybe they're in the auditorium, maybe Dr. Ye was floating earlier. We know that he's always worried. Is he always under pressure from Dr. Jackson Grimshaw? The head and director of Project Melos," said Cassie.
"Come on, we might get the door closed and scolded. We still have seven minutes to get there," I said to my team so we hurried to get there.
It took us almost five minutes to arrive. Dra. Ye is ahead and speaking. He widened his eyes at me so I smiled. He said it was in the conference room!
My team and I immediately sat at the top because we would be disturbed if we all went down. We can see everything because there is a projector above. We just looked up and everything seemed to be zoomed in.
"Good day to all who are here, to the members of the government, senior members of WCA, famous doctors of every hospital, famous engineers of the generation, prominent people in society, and every single hardworking and intelligent member of Project Melos. I congratulate everyone for being able to attend our gathering!" lively introduction by Dra. Ye.
We all applauded. Funnily enough, we share in this success. I rubbed my stomach, one day everything will be fine. I hope my baby can find a solution to prevent him from having Melos Syndrome. I know I'm about to give birth and the chances are very slim but I'm hopeful. I hope this third project for Melos Syndrome, Project Melos, will be a success.
"We will start the ceremony of the event. We will start with a prayer, then the national anthem, a small performance by the youth from Avalon, Equinoxia, and straight to the main part of the event. The introduction and the first live worldwide telecast of AMM-1GRM!" Dra said happily again. That's why we all applauded.
We were on television, I didn't even know. I immediately adjusted my seat. We asked each other if our faces were okay. When I borrowed lip balm from Cassie because my lips are said to be dry due to stress.
Dra. Yeah, that's stress stress so I wonder why it's still energetic now. It's been a long time ago and the place that was shown to us is wrong. Instead of going to the auditorium, we were sent to the conference room. Just fight for Dra. Ye. When we pass out from exhaustion, maybe we will all be fired by Dr.Jackson Grimshaw. He was strict and really strict on all of us.
After praying and singing the national anthem of Equinoxia, we all sat down. The Avalon Choir's performance followed. When the members entered my eyes widened because I saw Lyn. It's still ahead, children will perform. They are all cute.
When I heard the beat of the music I just laughed. That's what they sang at the rescue center, Michael Jackson's song. Your We are the World. I still remember how I could sing along to the song back then.
There is a time when we should heed a certain cause
'Cause the world, it seems is riding its line
'Cause there's a chance for taking
In needing our own lives
It seems we need nothing at all
I used to feel, I should give away my Heart
And it shows that we need there
Then I read the headlines
And it said they're dying there
And it showed that we were heeding a stand.
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones to make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a chance we're taking
We're taking our whole lives
It's true, we'll make a brighter day
Just you and me
Give them your Heart
And you will see that someone cares
'Cause you know that they can't feed them all
Then I read the paper
And it said that children die
And it shows that soon can we work hard
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones to make a brighter day
So let's start giving
But there's a chance we're taking
We're taking our whole lives
It's true, we'll make a brighter day
Just you and me
Now there's a time when we must love at all
And it seems that life doesn't make love at all
But every day I love you more and more
It's she and I didn't do it better.
We are the world
(The world)
We are the children
(Are the children)
We are the ones to make a brighter day
So let's start giving
(Let's start giving)
There's a chance we're taking

It's true, we'll make a brighter day
Just you and me
We are the world
(Are the world)
We are the children
(Are the children)
We are the ones to make a brighter day
So let's start giving
(So let's start giving)
There's a chance we're taking

We're taking our whole lives
It's, true we'll make a brighter day
Just you and me
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones to make a brighter day
So let's start giving
('Cause that's what we're being)
There's a chance we're taking
We're taking our whole lives
It's true, we'll make a brighter day
Just you and me
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones to make a brighter day

Just you and me.
After they sang Lyn, I applauded. We Are the World isn't obviously a favorite of that kid huh? His father was sure to be here too, so maybe they were taken. Also, we save money there too. Everyone is still happy with the cuteness of the children.
"Now, the AMM-1GRM explanation begins. Let's give the genius of Project Melos a standing ovation! Dr. Jackson Grimshaw!" introduced by Dra. Ye to our director.
Dr. Grimshaw stood up from the front-row seats and waved to the crowd. He went up to the stage and went to the center where Dr. That's the microphone. Everything was quiet there.
"I congratulate everyone for their enthusiastic participation. Thank you for attending, this is a new event for our world. Let me explain AMM-1GRM," said Dr. Grimshaw.
The appearance of the AMM-1GRM was shown on the big monitor. It is similar to the machine used in CT-Scan but the gantry and tunnel-shaped scanner are wider.
"You can all see what the new Project Melos project looks like. We're going to show you all how it works and what good it can do for all of us. Here's one of our hardworking scientists presenting for the live ultrasound itself. Ms. Bonnie !" was introduced by Dr. Grimshaw to Bonnie.
We all applauded. Bonnie came out from the side of the stage lying on the bed. He was transferred there to the treatment couch of AMM-1GRM. It doesn't have an official name yet because Dr. Grimshaw named the machine after the president's daughter, Daisy.
Bonnie's vital statistics were mentioned even her diet, weight and height, and identity.
"We will perform the transvaginal ulttasound. There, the tube contains a nano camera that will be inserted into the patient's genitals. The shape of the nano-camera is piercing so it can penetrate the gestational sac but it is designed to be safe so that the sac does not puncture and heal immediately crossing the nano-cam. It is also soaked in special medicine so that there are no side effects," Dr.Grimshaw explained.
Everyone applauded. It seems that Project Melos is very excited about this project. I'm also very excited but it's still a short step. I know we can advance, study, and discover more.
When revived by Dr. Grimshaw the machine suddenly turned off the light. We were all surprised because this problem happened only now. That's when I got nervous. We are in charge of the power source!
I immediately called the team and we went over the edge to the front. Suddenly the building shook so we all stopped.
"What's happening!?" shouted a senator.
"Just keep calm everyone, it's part of the process. There might be a little–"
Dr. Grimshaw stopped in speech because it sounded like a strong metal collided. That's when everyone screamed. Most people immediately ran so even if I tried to get down and take Bonnie up, I couldn't do it. I was blown up by the crowd.
"Hold on! Let me—"
I stopped talking when I saw the back of the stage explode. There was also a force-field that reached beyond me and the force of the impact of the explosion knocked me against the wall. The explosion was so powerful that it reached the auditorium.
I tried to stand up but I couldn't see anymore. I can't even stand up because I feel so much pain on the left side of my body.
"T-Help..." I weakly offered help.
