Waking up to a surprise

The world slowly came into focus for Yun Jin. It looked white, and sterile and bright.
"Hospital, yeah that would be right" thought the Chinese man, who was becomming aware of aches and pains in his body that shouldn't be there.

Yun looked across to the bed beside him where a vaugley familiar looking elf sat. There were a few moments of uncomfortable silence, before the Elf pulled out a complicated looking keyboard shaped computer, and begun to type with precision while the optical cable connecting it to his temple blinked on and off rapidly.

The door to the room opened, and in walked two elves who Yun did recognise. Bellazel and Eliza, his most recent employers. They were accompanied by an Elf in a doctors coat, all three wore grim expressions.

"We have some disturbing news" said the doctor to Yun.
"It is common precedure to scan patients DNA for a rare Elven genetic disease. Not being an elf, you would never have been scanned for this, but since this is an elven only facility, the lab did the scan regardless".

He paused, as though looking for appropriate words.
"There is something wrong with your DNA, but it's like nothing we've seen before. It's almost as if parts of your genetic makeup have been changed. And it's defintely a man made condition, almsot as if there is hidden progrmming inside you. The effects of this may not be noticable, and it's impossible for us to tell what the purpose of this defect is, if indeed if there is a purpose".

"Sorry", he said with resignation, and retreated out the door.
