The Alpha System (TAS) is a deadly force – at least, that’s what only few know. In the early 1900’s TAS decided to create and harbor their own society, so they started with children. They bought and adopted babies – unwanted – all across the world and trained them – lethal, distinct . . . deadly. They named all according to the alphabet. Male and Female.
TAS was designed to go against certain political and federal forces. Defeating the bad, honoring the good. That is, until Male’s and Female; apart of TAS, started disappearing – their bodies found days later. TAS decided to tighten their forces and investigate what was going on.
Too many disappeared. Too many died.
So they decided that TAS needed to shut down. So they did.

They are TAS.
And it all starts with Alena.
