Salazar Midgard, the lead scientist in the world, and the world renowned genetic scientist, responsible for creating the GES, which stands for the genetically enhanced soldiers , or , as they prefer to call themselves ,the advanced soldiers , stood hunched over a lap top , typing rapidly on it.
It had been three years since he had created the GES, after that, he had been made the worlds leading scientist and a genetic genius by the leaders in the world.
He had been given billions of dollars, to help fund his research and to create more genetic soldiers . A laboratory had been created built for him for just that purpose.
Since then, he had been working on this project. It had taken him three years just to come this far, three years of research and experimentation , three years of try and errors , but, finally , he had just given up since nothing he did worked.
His notes that he had accumulated throughout the years lay scattered on the ground ,but , he paid them no mind.
His experiments had brought forth nothing , meaning, now matter what he did, that project wasn't going to bring forth anything , especially if he had tried for three years.
Right now though, he was working on another project, his newest one, a bionic chip. He was inputting its schematics into his laptop before he heads home , he went over the notes that he had made the previous night over and over again as he typed on his laptop to make sure that his hypothesis was correct , because if there is one thing he isn't, it's a liar.
He was just about to head home when he received an alert on his laptop. Usually, he would just ignore it, and that's what he was about to do when he noticed that it was about his previous project.
One of his scientists called Michael , that he had left in charge of his project had sent him an email explaining that, everything was going well, and that we'll he was going home.
At this time of day, his huge laboratory is usually empty, and so, he spent a few minutes going over the observations and statistics that Michael had sent it him.
He went over it thrice before he was convinced of what he saw. Somehow, his project, which he called the Helios Ascension, was going according to plan.
You see, when he created the first GES, he came upon marvelous discovery. A gas that grants amazing abilities, from flight to pyrokinesis to magnetokinesis. It was supposed to give the soldiers their powers but....
The gas was too unstable and corrosive, and he saw this , when he experimented with it ,his tests subject died a horrible and painful death.
Since then, he has been working to reduce it acidity and stabilize it. He had created a huge supply of the gas because, it's quite difficult to make, and had them stored in a giant container he liked to call Gideon , which was in the most restricted area in his lab. It was also underground.
However , it was not meant to be because, no matter what he tried, he could not reduce the potency of the gas, and was forced to shut the project down, but now, the gas had finally stabilized.
Unable to control his excitement, he began to pick through the mess of notebooks containing all the notes he had on the gas, picking up the most essential ones like a book full of codes for manipulating and rationing the gas, and various observations he had made about it.
With all these books, which were about ten in total , Salazar rushed towards the containment facility underground. As he went, he passed by many of his already failed experiments which he suspended.
