Success: A Project: 863 Backstory

What if Wes was wearing the Absalate around his neck because Nelson had already succeeded in his mind control experiments? Wesley Nathaniel was his first successful test subject.

Deborah expects to meet Wes in the car to discuss his latest attempt to talk things out with Nelson, but Nelson is in control of Wes and tries to kill her instead. Deborah must defend herself. As she wrests the gun away, Nelson begins to lunge for it, and she shoots into Wesley's chest.
