Kevin calls the newly built wing of the hospital “the Fortress.” Even though Kevin does not have a blanket term for the entire hospital, the term “the Fortress” refers to the new building in the back (the new wing) that is important to the story. In fact, there is a sign hanging above the doors to the new wing that says “MEDICAL RESEARCH” in capital letters. “The Fortress” becomes the site of a new adventure for the boys.
In this particular adventure, Kevin insists that this is the area where scientists are creating a “bionic body” for him. In their travels both there and elsewhere, Kevin talks about how there are secret tests going on in that location “to develop a new form of bionic robot for human modification.” Kevin insists that he has been coming to “the Fortress” for these secret tests for months and months. Further, Kevin says that sometime “in the future,” he will become “bionically improved” through the efforts of the scientists at “the Fortress” and their work on a “bionic transplant.” In the future, Kevin says that he will receive his new body, which will be both “enlarged and improved.” Even though Max is skeptical, he is enthralled by Kevin’s story and wants to believe these wonderful improvements will be true for Kevin.
