For 13 years the government had led an experiment. This experiment, if successful, would have increased the human genome by 100%. But, like all government experiments, something went wrong. They all died. Every single one died, except for Subject 23. he had survived the procedure. He showed no result, however, of being affected by the mixture. With that said he was released and convinced that he had been dreaming. In 2104, the last experiment, blew up in the governments face...literally. The toxic gas that they had emitted into their subjects seeped into Hawaii, and soon, for 30 years, would ravish the entire planet.
