The Bod - 3

?The skin around all the joints is reddening!? Ted looked really taken back by the whole scenario. ?Is Jim?s body trying to reject the nanobots? C?mon, Toby, we need some answers quick.?

?Call Bax and tell him to get over here stat! I?m trying to monitor the bots with the magnetoscope, and I don?t quite understand what?s happening!?

Ted called Bax immediately and put him on speaker phone. ?Bax, we need you NOW.?

?Why? What?s happening? Is it big Jim? What?s going on??

?Bax, if we knew what was going on, we wouldn?t be having this conversation. Right now we?ve got him in Never-never-land, but he?s burning up at the joints and it seems to be spreading!? yelled Toby. ?Did you do a gene profile on him, by chance? Maybe he's got some weird genetic anomaly.?

?No, Toby, but I?ll do some checking on my way over.?

The ride took around 15 minutes and as Bax was unlocking the door to the ?secret? room he was giving some orders to the big muscle god from the front desk.
?I think I?ve got it,? announced Bax. ?Just finished talking to Jim?s mom in Minnesota and she said he had RHEUMATOID arthritis as a kid, but they caught it early and he went into remission, or so they thought. After all, he did grow to over 6?1? over the years.?

?Aha!? responded Toby. ?The most any of us had was OSTEOarthritis. And that didn?t develop until late in our lives. The nanobots are making up for lost time and making repairs all over the place. That explains why they now seem to be present throughout his body - especially massing around the vertebrae, which we weren?t even going to begin working on ?til late tonight.?

?I see the pulleys are loose and you?ve undone all the cuffs!?

?Yes,? countered Ted as he was just removing the last vestige of the doctors? stretching process. ?He just started to stretch out on his own - with the help of the rejuvenation by the nanobots. It?s amazing what the Michigan and Rice researchers were able to develop just since the turn of the century!?

?It looks like he?s becoming what he was destined to be, but boy, is he getting lanky.?

Jim?s 6?1?, 455 pounds were really stretching out now, making him look like a chunky basketball player.

There was an urgent knock at the door. ?Doc Baxter, you ordered all the skim milk I could get. How?s your newest ?victim? doing?? questioned the huge bodybuilder receptionist.

?He?s fine, now that we know what?s going on. Bring that milk in here. Whoa! How much did you get??

?You said as much as I could. There?s 40 gallons so far.?

?You can stop with that for now,? replied Bax. ?Now bring all the protein packets you?ve got in the back room. There should be cases of it.?

?Ok, Toby and Ted, help me start feeding this soon-to-be-monster. The way your nanobots are repairing his bone structure, he?s going to have very thin bones unless we provide some huge amounts of calcium for them to work with.?

With that, Toby and Ted started to pour the milk into Jim. Of course they had to be careful that he wouldn?t drown from the inside from too much liquid. After a couple of gallons, they had to wait, watch that his kidneys processed and eliminated the water, and then continue with more. Evidently his internal organs were working overtime, too, to keep up with the liquid assault.

?He?s hanging over both ends,? observed Ted. ?What do you think? Maybe 7 feet by now??

After a couple hours of this new regimen, the reddening started to subside. Jim was still in La-la-land, but seemed more much comfortable.

?This guy?s going to be starving when he finally wakes up. Good thing we?ve got plenty of protein mix to go with the rest of the milk.? Ted was voicing his thoughts as he finally started calming himself down. Toby and Bax also just sat down to reflect on all that had just happened.

?You know,? observed Toby, ?the more we know, the more we don?t know. We?ll never get the process perfect ?cuz there are too many variables. We were just very, very lucky with the first couple hundred.?

?Yup,? the other two said in unison.

?He opened his eyes!? Bax was the first to notice.

?What in the hell happened? I dreamed that I was cussing you guys out, then I had the strangest sensations of growing hotter and bigger.?

Bax jumped right in. ?How do you feel now.?

?I feel bloated and hungry at the same time.? Looking at the ceiling as he was talking, I need to take a pee, bad.?

Toby filled him in. ?You?ve been doing a lot of that for the past 6 hours. But I think you really need to take a look at yourself. We?ll help you up.?

Toby and Ted grabbed under Jim?s shoulders to help him get up as he noticed, ?You guys look different. Hey! There?s Dr. Baxter, too.?

Jim rose to a seated position on the table and realized, ?Holy crap! I?m nearly as tall sitting as you guys are standing! What happened? Where?d the belly go to? I?m just r-e-a-l-l-y h-u-u-u-n-g-r-y.?



Coming next: Ready, set, muscle-up
