Exordium

   Despite the countless bright lights, and chilly air inside the white compartment, the subjects can still feel the ominous aura surrounding their atmosphere, with the liberator’s eyes looking at them behind the glass walls. They looked like a cult with their white coats, and familiar-looking glasses, with their holographic boards where they keep in touch with the subject’s body system.

     This was the project that the world was waiting for, that humanity was waiting for. For thousands of years, planet Earth was dominated by the unknown being that came out of the sky.  Others call it was an alien invasion, but scientist and doctor Niel Tanner knew more.

     The aliens, or, so they call the Gods had emerged from the skies. Now, now, they’re not pertaining to the spiritual thing that the old world was worshiping with their all. In this age, people had forgotten about those gods, the gods they know is the abnormal beings venturing the whole world with their six pairs of feet like a centipede, or the nightmarish look on their faces.

     As he browsed upon the vitals of the subjects and watch them standstill in the white compartment with their eyes wide open, he kept thinking about the change that his experiment will bring. The Gods Implanting Project. This project’s goal is to implant God’s genes into the specialized agents, and if it succeeded, Aegis will use them to restore humanity from the Gods. It was impossible if heard by normal people.

     But Tanner’s ambition is not likely to be tampered by the beliefs of the people all around the globe, cowering in fear, hiding in their basements, waiting for death. The thought made Tanner clench his jaw. This will change everything, he knows that.

     “Doctor, their vital signs are normal, the specializing is now on the progress.” Said a woman who’s been standing beside Tanner with a sullen look on her face.

     Assistant scientist Diana Sandoval. As she looked at the subjects, she can’t help but feel anxious about the upcoming project. She knows the risk, and she knows what’ll happen if this project will fail. It’s either they create a new race of superhuman or new species of uncontrollable monsters that might completely end humanity’s existence and well, the whole world.

     She huffed, trying to shake everything off. Her thoughts won’t help anyone or anything. As long as she sticks to the plan, the success is guaranteed. This project will change the world, this will be the beacon of light, the ray of hope. This project will save mankind.

     “Those three specialized agents, who are they again?” Tanner asked his assistant, Diana.

     Diana cleared her throat, looking at her glass board where the information about the subjects lies. “Ygnil Bard, Shiina Mashiro and…” Diana trailed off, looking twice at the last subject’s name, “Anael Price.” She answered as she looked at the two females and one male inside the white compartment.

     “Those are the agents from the second division of Aegis, right? Or am I just assuming here?” The perky man with the glasses said, his hands inside his coat. Doctor Vincent Chase. “And correct me if I’m wrong, they were once infected by Hmikis’ Blood back in there, right?”

     “Yes, once. I cured them.” Answered Tanner with a small frown on his face. All these people know that he’s a genius scientist and a doctor. “That virus is now long gone. We shouldn’t be talking about that.”

     “Okay, boss.” Said Vincent then let out a small laugh. Diana huffed, Vincent’s perky personality seemed very out-of-place inside the laboratory. It seems like Vincent Chase didn’t even care about the project as he sits on his chair and start to dance his fingers along with the holographic keyboard. “I’ll inform you if the specializing is finished.”

     Tanner nodded in satisfaction. The specialization of the three subjects can increase the chance of success about the God Implanting project. By adding modified anti-bodies to their system, it will make their bodies more capable of adapting. It was engineered by the remaining geniuses all over the world, hiding in their bases.

     Tanner walked towards the cocoon or the white compartment for the three subjects. He looks at them with an impassive face, but with determination in his eyes. He wouldn’t waste the chance of becoming known and famous because of his project. It’s his way towards the top, and nothing can stop him.
