World of Anarchy/Chapter 38

This is a preview of chapter 38 of World of Anarchy entitled: Project Prometheus

Chapter 38 - Project Prometheus
At this point David felt like he should stop being surprised by the things that happen around him. If it’s not him learning that he had his memories stolen from him, or seeing Inferus change his face to those David knew, or the fact that magic apparently exists, then it’s stuff like what had happened the past five minutes.

After helping Prometheus out of his chamber he had tripped and broken his neck. The crazy part however was the fact that he came back to life in a matter of seconds. Not as a zombie--as a human. Like he hadn’t even died. They questioned him afterwards but he told them that he had no memories. Omid then checked the chart next to his chamber labeled “Project Prometheus” and found that HavenCorp had been working on a substance that would revive the host without side effects. It seemed like they got it working.

Next they opened the other chamber and woke the guy in it up. Like Prometheus, the other guy had a chart on his bed that referred to him as Null-Void. He seemed to be more or less their age unlike Prometheus. They tried questioning him as well but Null didn’t respond, instead he just stared down the far wall as if watching something. Form his chart they learned that Null had been experimented on in an attempt to make the perfect killing machine. HavenCorp had given him numerous narcotics to “Null” his emotions and feeling as well as injecting him with something they believed would give him the the knowledge of multiple forms of martial arts without training.

Perhaps the craziest thing that happened was the when the stone statue cracked open. Teresa had been examining the statue while Omid and Jane tried getting Null to talk, when she touched it and to began to crack. However, instead of crumbling into a pile of rubble as one would expect it revealed a man who had been trapped inside of it. The man had panicked when he saw them and rambled on about someone named Hikaru before he managed to subdue him. While he tried calming the man down Omid looked over the man’s chart and found that the statue he was in was recovered from Japan about 50 year ago and is dated to have existed for a few thousand years.

Why couldn’t everything be simple for once?
