Jabro

 

Jabro lay drugged and sedated on a huge marble slab. He was a 250 kg silverback gorilla. And he was brought here for an experiment - rude and against his rights. But better for the future generations of gorillas or maybe for all the animal species in general, so Michael thought. He was fussing over him. He had developed a chip called NUT which he had inserted into Jabro’s brain. 

NUT would monitor Jabro’s thoughts and stream them over Michael’s computer screen. He wanted to know what or how a gorilla thought. They all seemed to have very inquisitive eyes so Michael knew they could process it like a human being. Maybe not to that extent but still. 

NUT was designed to work like an AI. Just like how a computer is aided and made more expressive with the help of AI, so would this NUT help gorilla think, imagine, and ultimately express more like no other gorilla had ever been able to do so before. Maybe Jabro would start talking.  

He wanted to send Jabro back to jungles before the effect of the drug wore off. The bandages were being removed. And Jabro was now moving slightly and making funny sounds….
