<Dr.Falcsh’s POV>
Location: CH.R.O.M.E Labs (CHemical Research On Military Exploits)
*Crash!!*
I angrily threw the materials of my good friend Doctor Wayland Weiss off the table
“It cannot be done Dr. Weiss!! , one does not simply play with the rules of God!”
W: “Trust me on this one Dr. Falcsh, the serum that I’m developing can save millions of lives, I’ve made a great breakthrough, It can even save Penny, all I need is a little more time and funds“
Penny, My beloved 8 year old daughter, is sick with a strange disease, since she was 5, she slipped in to a coma, the cause was unknown and all efforts to cure her was futile, the sickness also causes her body to decompose rapidly, we had to put her into a special capsule that I invented to save her from the decomposition, I promised her that I’d be a good father
And I intend to keep that promise
W: “Falsch, deep down you know that I could be right”
F: “You could be right, but It’s still not up to me, you should talk to General Raige about these matters”
W: “*sigh* I know, but will you be there to support me?”
F: “I’d do anything for my Penny, she’s the reason why I joined this project”
W: “I’ll take that as a yes”
Dr. Weiss smiled at me and started picking up his papers
Still, I had a very bad feeling, even though his work could save my dear Penny
F: “By the way, what breakthrough were you referring to?
Wayland stopped cleaning and stood up
W: “Mutated Pheromones”
F: “What? Pheromones? Did I hear that right?”
W: “My Maximum Factor serum, which helped the soldiers heal from grievous or even life threatening wounds, was a great invention, yet, as you’ve known, I’ve taken it to greater heights ,now, even if a soldier dies, it still continues to live on, he continues to fight on, without food or water ,without the aid of its other organs, just the brain, until the body is fully decomposed, and it’ll have only one thing on its mind, to kill the enemy”
F: “That’s why I said you were playing God”
W: “Will you let me finish first?”
Wayland turned his computer on, I could see he was really serious about this
W: “The only problem I had was on control, how we can control the “Returnees” to not attack their allies, for years I’ve studied every algorithm and interpretation, until I finally invented them, the Mutated Pheromones, or Mutanomes, if I inject these Mutanomes on soldiers, they’ll secrete a special pheromone that nullifies the senses of the returnees, their returning allies wont attack them, they’d be invisible to them”
Wayland showed me all his findings, charts and graphs on his computer, which really made me agree, the Mutanomes could work...
but...
