???

I only have a plot to work with right now. I don't even have a title yet!! If anybody has any ideas, please please please tell!!


In 2296, scientists set up an experiment in which they recreate 2008 life. Each child born there has a special computer chip inserted in its brain. This allows the scientists to know their thoughts and control their actions to a certain degree. Also, it inhibits the children's natural-born ability to speak the Common Language, which is the language of all minerals, plants, animals, etc etc. Only children know the Common Language, for some odd reason. Around the time that their childhood ends, they no longer understand the Common Language.

This chip has always been accepted by the human body...until a girl named Bella is born in 2304. Nothing works on her. The antibodies that keep her from getting cancer or AIDS or other such fatal diseases won't work on her either. The scientists are both interested and worried. They are being threatened, although they are also highly intrigued by this oddity.

As an experiment, the scientists manipulate those around her to see how she will react. There are cameras everywhere, except on natural materials (the houses are all made out of concrete or brick). Bella is tracked, even as she speaks the Common Language with the animals and plants. She has no computer chip in her brain. Therefore, her thoughts are completely new and do not adhere to the guidelines that the chip sets.

The scientists continue trying to put the computer chip in Bella's brain, but it will not work. When she is fourteen, the chip dies as soon as it is in Bella's body (it used to just not work). The scientists decide she is a liability to the success of the experiment. Therefore, they manipulate those around her to make her miserable, and perhaps eventually force her into madness or suicide.

Then, the tables turn when Bella finds out.
