By the way, you do know that brain surgery is painless once you get past the skull, right? There are no sensory neurons in there.

Of course i know that, i have spent a whole 2 Hrs researching for this film, and the victims will have fewer neurons when Evo has finished with them.

OK--but, are you willing to torture me and several other volunteered bodies (since the script says so)?

She doesn't need a script for that. The fish-whap ceremony is just her warm-up for the rest of her daily routine, which you really don't want to know about.

Why, of course!

Hey Wolram, do you think Moonbear can be my crazed twin/alter ego since Moonbear cuts open sheep brains in real life? Maybe we can use some of her bain surgery videos to help cut costs.

Just kidding.

I want to keep one victim in the lab, a sort of long term experiment Evo is doing, the top of the victims skull is replaced by a clear plastic cap that is easily removable, the experiment involves inserting probes into the brain to electrically stimulate certain areas.

I'm liking this more and more with every post. I've always wanted to be a wirehead.

Cool ideas, there will have to be a few sexy scenes to keep every one happy so you will have to dress sort of gothy vampish.

The setting, a four bed roomed modern wood built house with attached laboratory at the back,
the house has decking out front and a balcony, 20 or so yards from the house is a large barn,
the nearest town is 30 miles away and the house is along a long drive way leading to a minor road, the surrounding land is flat for about a 1/4 mile then there is wooded land.

Are you sure the script is ready and doesn't need a revision? There was no water deep enough for keel hauling in your original description of the place.

You scurvy landlubber you made me spit my drink out, there is a deep water bay just beyond the trees, and by the way i am inventing this plot on the run so any thing is possible.
