Son's of War

Damien Goodyear had been nothing but a lab rat since he could remember. His father was an employee for the Australia branch of PILLAR. Working in the underground labs experimenting on children to make a new "advancement" in human evolution. Unfortunately, their experiments had many failures. Damien’s father was at his wits end until he came up with a new idea.

On Damien’s 7th birthday his father decided to bring him to the PILLAR labs where heworked. Damien had been curious and ever since losing his mother wanted more time with his dad. Unfortunately he was never around and his father thought of it as a golden opportunity. Anopportunity to have a high possibility for success. A few months ago Damien’s father took a ample of his son's DNA. 

Blood, hair, saliva, mucus or anything else he could get his hands on. He tested each sample with the serums they were experimenting with and each one had the same result. Successful adaptation with minor physical changes. Everything Damien’s father worked for and the solution was right in front of him living in his own home.

Damien was awe struck as his father led him through the corridors of his workplace. Eventually leading Damien into a bright room. Completely white, a small bed, a separate smaller room as a bathroom, but nothing else. Damien was confused and wasn’t able to process what came next. Damine’s father let go of his hand, left the room and locked the door. Damien panicked and ran to the door banging on it and screaming for his father.

Suddenly the wall on the door side changed from a pale wall to a large window. On the other side was Damien’s father wearing a gentle smile. Finally, he had what he needed. A child that was compatible with the serum. His own son was made to become a weapon; his Son of War.

James Silverstein was an experiment as long as he could remember. From the day he was born he wasn’t treated as a child by his parents. He was nothing but a science experiment to them. Constantly poked, prodded and tested on. Even used to test different drugs or shots. There were serums made to counteract whatever they used on him, but he became gravely sick. So far to the point he had to take a regular dose of a drug to keep him alive and sane.

Even so the experiments continued. Unknown to him however, his life was now on a time limit. The only thing the drug did was slow down the gradual decay of his body. He could’ve lived a long life, but now his time was reduced.

At the age of 12 James became increasingly difficult to handle. Increased aggression, disobedience and even attacking if pushed too much. To avoid any accidents or further issues he had a chip placed in his brain. Allowing his behavior to be controlled and occasionally immobilizing him if he made any move that would be problematic.

With the chip implant James became the near perfect weapon. Although he had an expiration date he would be able to perform his job without fail. An object of war that could be controlled. One that PILLAR hoped to perhaps clone to make a prophet and a base to make even more advanced weapons of war.
