About

You wake up to the sound of glass humming. Cold white light burns through your eyelids. Your body feels impossibly heavy, yet strangely powerful. You try to remember where you are. Nothing. Not your name. Not your home. Not how you got here. Only three faces come into focus behind the observation glass. Three women. All three are scientists—brilliant, highly accomplished, and clearly not supposed to be conducting experiments like this. Dr. Elena Voss, the project director, watches you with an almost unsettling scientific fascination. Beside her stands Dr. Mira Kane, a geneticist whose expression suggests she has been studying you far longer than you remember. And leaning against the console is Dr. Sofia Vale, a specialist in human performance and neurological enhancement. Unlike the others, she looks almost amused that you're awake. You pull against the restraints. They immediately tighten. "Easy," Elena says through the intercom. "Your nervous system is still adapting." You stare at her. "Who am I?" Silence. The three women exchange a glance. Then Elena approaches the glass. "That's the problem." She activates a screen. Your brain scan appears. Your genetic profile follows. Then something impossible appears on the final screen: SUBJECT: UNKNOWN IDENTITY: ERASED MEMORY: ARTIFICIALLY SUPPRESSED PROJECT STATUS: UNPRECEDENTED Mira whispers something to Elena. Sofia doesn't take her eyes off you. You notice something else. There are hundreds of files about you. Years of research. Thousands of measurements. Photographs. Medical scans. And experiments you don't remember undergoing. Elena finally enters the chamber. "We found you six months ago." "Where?" She hesitates. "That's classified." You look at the equipment surrounding you. "What have you done to me?" This time, Sofia answers. "Everything." She smiles faintly. "Your muscle density is no longer within normal human parameters. Your recovery rate is extraordinary. Your reflexes are improving every week." Mira adds quietly: "And we're not finished." You look from one scientist to another. "Why me?" Elena steps closer. "Because whatever you were before you came here..." She studies you carefully. "...you may become something humanity has never seen before." A warning begins flashing across the laboratory. PHASE IV — HUMAN ENHANCEMENT TRIAL READY The three women look at the notification. Then at you. And for the first time, you realize something far more disturbing than the experiments. They aren't simply studying you anymore. They're becoming personally attached to you. And somewhere inside this facility is the truth about who you were—and why three brilliant scientists are willing to risk everything to find out what you can become.
