She snickered before she could stop herself. Carpenter complied with all her requests, but nerves clung to his eyes. She discarded any lingering moments of doubt by the time she retreated into the adjacent room. On the other side of the mirror, she joined a technician and Director Stephenson, who was usually present during these tests.
His heart rate was increasing. His respiration grew shallow, but the technician monitored his vitals for the most part. Torri kept her attention directed to the brain wave activity. It was in this same room that a subject was noted to have a electrical fingerprint of brain activity like they were dosed with cocaine. It was later determined that the fingerprint was duplicated while channeling, but Torri did not know why. She was no neurologist, but the computer AI analysis was able to mine the data for interpretation. Only when it came to channelers, no drug coursed the participant's brains. Only the so-called power flooded their body. It vexed her that she could see physical effects without the presence of a physical entity. Therefore, the only way to duplicate the effects of channeling on the brain and body was to continue testing different drugs until the signatures matched. Of course, there were sex differences. Males responded completely different than females, and so far, all the males that attempted these tests put themselves into cardiac shock and died, likely due to a strange mix of adrenaline inducing agents from the experimental drugs combining with the physical effects of the power.
The particular drug coursing Carpenter's brain was a synthetic mimicker of cocaine. It increased levels of adrenaline, norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain, which accounted for heightened awareness, reaction and euphoria described by previous channelers. She pressed an intercom button. "That's good. When you're ready, take hold of the power, if you can."
She released the button and exchanged a hesitant look with Director Stephenson.
