Chapter One: Genesis
The scent of sterilized metal, clean and cold, permeated the lab, filled with a riot of unnatural life, a testament to mankind's hubris. Human forms floated in glass vats filled with nourishing amniotic fluid, each one a grotesque effigy of the divine image, conceived not in love but by the cold clinical hand of science.
