      The Perfect Round - Will Silver Hastings

      Matt

      On a warm, sunny, summer afternoon, high in the sky, Kele was onboard Professor Vernon's experimental new turbine prototype aircraft. He was busy analyzing micro-measurements in air pressure, air temperature, wind velocity, water vapour and molecular suspension density. It was a big day for everyone on the team. After many long years of labour and research, they were gathering critical data that would revolutionize weather prediction.

      Kele was a highly classified, top secret black ops synth created at Professor Vernon's Meteorological Research Facility. Due to his extremely delicate sensors, it was absolutely forbidden for Kele to make contact with any organic surface, any living person or any unknown external electronic device. His advanced technology was never to be exposed, corrupted, contaminated or revealed to anyone outside the lab. In terms of monetary value, Kele was truly priceless. Worth billions of dollars in research and unique micro-ware, he possessed an unparalelled array of custom integrated, electronic chips, circuits and processors. If the slightest physical vulnerability was ever detected, a self-destruct program would launch automatically.

      While flying, Kele could scan surface geometry and analyze topographical influences on air currents. Combined with data collated, this enabled him to calculate variances in trajectories for objects moving at any speed from very slow to hyper-sonic. With his extraordinary mega-processing power, he could simultaneously measure
