Dark Times

Twenty-six years ago, a company discovered a gene that unlocked superhuman powers. It started with pharmaceutical supergiant Prometheus Medical, working first on “willing volunteers,” and was soon sanctioned by the government. 

The corporation had its hooks deep in controlling many politicians. The experiments continued, and soon a rash of industrial espionage broke out. Many large corporations, seeing the potential in customized superhuman technology, were now racing to have their own enhanced on their payroll. These laboratory creations were treated as slaves, and many fled their masters, hiding in the slums. Some of the ones that got away even had kids.  Now, a second generation of Enhanced exists, and corporations still view them as company property. By now, the laws had been warped to protect the rights of the corporations and their “investments” and not the people. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
