These are the files involving the origins and deeper secrets of the NEMESIS Project, created and funded by two powerful organizations. These organizations possess deep influence, roots and control in the American government since the age of the Cold War. The most important files were stored and preserved by the Barrow Corporation, while the rest were destroyed and deposed of for outdated data and information on the NEMESIS Project and the ALPHA NEMESIS, as well other horrific results, and creation from the testing done by these experiments...
Backstory of the PROMETHEUS Agentcy
At the dawn of the Cold War, with Soviet Russia the losses of WW2, and assets across the east cost North America greatly. With the threat of nuclear war and fallout, a secret organization within the North-American government, called PROMETHEUS was funded by President Truman, and charged with not only finding a solution to these threats outside their nation, but also all possible future threats. Since then PROMETHEUS, has been dedicating all their secret resources for the betterment of America, and it people. Performing assassinations, kiinterrogations, interogations on not just Russians but other possible enemies, like Japan, Cuba, and more, but this web of shadow operations wasn't providing the results that Truman and the Board of PROMETHEUS, desires so Project HERCULES was formed... PROMETHEUS PROJECT-FILE: REDACTED
Project: HERCULES It's the name given to create superhuman agents, that can infiltrate, spy, and needed eliminate all threats to America, on hostile terrain and territories in the East.
For a couple of years, PROMETHEUS has dedicated their funds and resources to create these "Superhuman Agents" but all attempts ended in failure. Then came Truman's end of presidentcy, and the 34th President, Dwight Eisenhower was elected. Learning of the atrocities done not just by PROMETHEUS, but also the horrors brought on by Project HERCULES, that he disbanded and shut down PROMETHEUS. But the Secretary of Defense, and even the former president saw the necessary actions of PROMETHEUS, against the enemies of their nation, as a needed asset and shield along with spear against their enemies, so they continue to fund and secure PROMETHEUS from the shadows. Thus PROMETHEUS became a sentient shadow organization for the betterment of North America from 1953 and onwards.
The Barrow Corporation & Korean War
During the behind the scenes actions of PROMETHEUS, a new corporations was starting to rise in power and influence. The Barrow Corp, was invested in the Korean War, providing aid to the American troops stationed on Korea and sought to secretly create super-soldiers through secret and dangerous experiments on unknowing soldiers, which were fighting on the forefronts of this war. This cause a lot of issues as psychological breaks, traumas, and even dependency on addicting substances started to sprout throughout soldiers, even those that were dismissed and brought back to America. Hence striking the interest of PROMETHEUS, under contract they gathered and united their resources to conduct the HERCULES experiments until the end of the Korean War. From those failures a new agent was created, called NEMESIS. A drug name after the Goddess of Vengeance herself, a entity that is feared by the Gods as well, and the superhuman subjects will be being that even Gods would fear at the end. NEMESIS PROJECT-FILE#A.101
Project: NEMESIS With the failures of both PROMETHEUS with HERCULES, and the Barrow Corp's secret experiments on American soldiers a new project was created. NEMESIS, the upgraded version of HERCULES uses a experimental drug-agent named after the project, that once injected to a human subject should cause mutations from enhanced physical abilities, cellular adaptation to extreme conditions and ailments, extreme regeneration, and quite possibly unique mutations as well as abilities for the NEMESIS Subject.
The NEMESIS was created by combining several chemicals, along with enhanced nutrients, and some biological genes of several beings from plants, and a recently discovered microscopic organism from the Artic, called the Kilabain that is able to adapt and evolve at a unprecedented pace, all these components resulted in the NEMESIS agent. NEMESIS PROJECT-FILE#C.482
Dawn of the NEMESIS Project-Phase Zero
A Barrow Scientist, by the name of Colben Lee, using a enzyme inside a rare microscopic creature called Kilabain, to create the NEMESIS. This super-drug once injected on a subject should cause mutations and superhuman abilities, but all results lead to failure. Originally under the PROMETHEUS order, all experiments on American soldiers are strictly forbidden. So under a secret facility on [REDACTED LOCATION] where experiment "Subjects", taken from the dreks of society, homeless, addicts, asylum patients, cripples, former and current prison inmates for the initial stages of the NEMESIS Project. But these experiments ended with a large amounts of critical failures. From deaths, extreme psychological breaks and unpredicted physical mutations on the Subjects, the scientists, and researchers of both Barrow and PROMETHEUS decided to dubbed these failures "Mutates". This stage of the NEMESIS Project, was hence fort dubbed PHASE 0. NEMESIS PROJECT-FILE#C.497
NEMESIS Project-Phase One
After a long stream of failure, the NEMESIS Agent has gone through several adjustments and manipulations to perform several varients to create, the perfect the drug-agent in order to succeed in the creation of superhuman agents, NEMESIS. But this only resulted in more experimental Subjects, deaths, worse mental breaks, and Mutate varients. These Mutates are later used on the next stage of experiments, but this still lead to another stream of failed experiments to create the desired NEMESIS. NEMESIS PROJECT-FILE#C.500
NEMESIS Agent TP-ALPHA Varient
Until a security guard employed by Barrow, named Thompson Krieg who was a veteran of WW2, suffering from not only PTSD but many other mental complications. One of these complications was addiction to pharmaceuticals, which lead to a recent divorce, and him losing his former employment. Barrow Corporation needing trained and strong individuals to handle unruly Subjects, and deal with escapees and out of control Mutates, they hired Thompson as a guard. For months, Thompson, proven to be a strong, capable and violent man, capable of handling all the Subjects and Mutates of the secret facility. But after witnessing some effects of the "Pharmaceutical" that his employers are testing, Thompson stole discarded batches before they were destroyed through incineration, and he created his own varient mixing with some other pharmaceuticals. After taking this tampered NEMESIS Agent, and deliberately injecting himself with his own concoction, he inevitably planted the seeds for the first breakthrough and success of the NEMESIS Project. This act of self-indulgence started to provoke several mutations within Thompson body, and trigger a psychological break that eventually lead to him to stalk and rape a young woman name, [REDACTED] through this assault a pregnancy occurred and Thompson was killed by [REDACTED] of the Corp. This child that was a product of a unknown Mutate and a normal woman, produce a boy which was incubated and developed with the NEMESIS Agent Varient, coursing and evolving within his system. NEMESIS PROJECT-FILE#C.539
ALPHA-ONE Age 0-5 Ever since the events of Thompson Krieg, impregnating miss [REDACTED], she carried and successfully gave birth to codename ALPHA-ONE. At less then three months, the baby has shown many signs of mutations and special abilities, from enhanced physical abilities, to even heightened understanding, that goes beyond his age. ALPHA-ONE, showed his first physical mutation at his seven month, sprouting a tail with unique properties. From possible a razor-sharp, blade like tip which is capable of cutting the hardest material, to also being incredibly flexible and elastic, using this extremity ALPHA-ONE killed a man that he saw as a threat to [REDACTED] his mother. Miss [REDACTED] is the only one that the boy bonded with, and shows affection, because of this reason miss [REDACTED] was relocated to the facility and is in charge of caring for ALPHA-ONE. She showed a maternal love that can be exploited in ALPHA-ONE's future training, as the first of the NEMESIS and quite possibly the father of them as well. ALPHA-ONE was now five years old, demonstrating greater physical abilities than last exams have shown, along with possible shape-shifting capabilities as a incident involving a doctor trying to forcibly draw blood from ALPHA-ONE, resulted on the boy transforming his left arm into a massive arm with razor-sharp claws, and ALPHA-ONE tore Dr. [REDACTED] apart, security and his mother found the boy, playing with mutilated head of his victim. After that incident, all testing and examination done by doctors and researchers are done under observation, in order to avoid any more fatalities.
ALPHA-ONE Age 7-12/Escape ALPHA-ONE is now 7, and their isn't any concrete information on the recreation of more NEMESIS, ALPHA-ONE shown greater intelligence than originally theorize. ALPHA-ONE manage to break out of his room, by bypassing the security lock of the chamber, and using the vents to track down his mother, that has been hospitalized in the Medbay, and hasn't been able to contact ALPHA-ONE. ALPHA-ONE found her and laid next to her, allowing security to secure and tranquilize him. Since that incident miss [REDACTED] has tried to take her child, and stop the testing done on him, only for Barrow to try to restrain her, resulting ALPHA-ONE to breakout his room again, and reveal another special ability, quite possibly somekind of umbramancy, which he used to protect [REDACTED] and cause the death of over a dozen security detail. Once he reached his pre-teen age he and [REDACTED] managed to escape from the facility, using a higher level of umbramancy, that none believed possible and both have escaped and been on the run since. NEMESIS PROJECT-FILE#C.544
The Records of the Bloodshotz The Laharl Murders 1971-1977 To all the public, unknownst to them a group of serial killers lead by ALPHA-ONE or as he is named by [REDACTED] Laharl. A name that means "Shadowed Angel" and through interviews and investigations of PROMETHEUS special agents, miss [REDACTED] was murdered during Laharl's 16 of age. This triggered a psychotic break, and Laharl became a ruthless serial killer, quite possibly the most prolific, and vicious killer in American history if PROMETHEUS hadn't erased all evidence of ALPHA-ONE, and ALPHA_EVE-One to Eight, murders and even silencing some survivors. All the Bloodshotz murders were attributed to other killers, or freak accidents by the combined efforts of Barrow Corp & PROMETHEUS.
The Bloodshotz Begining 1973-1977 Despite ALPHA-ONE/Laharl's high list of murders, he has never killed or harm a woman. Barrow Psychologicts believe that ALPHA-ONE/Laharl has developed a utter distaste and hatred to men, and all his numerous victims were only male. But despite the bloodshed wrought by the first NEMESIS, the surge of murders is also contributed by the group that he has formed of eight women whose backstories are filled with tragedy, suffering, and cruelty that many of the research and psychological departments speculate that is the reason that ALPHA-ONE was drawn to these women that have been codenamed ALPHA_EVEs. Through intensive investigation from PROMETHEUS, it was confirmed these women serial killers are NEMESIS and is theorized that Laharl was responsible for their transformation. Which only meant that the ALPHA or NEMESIS_EVEs have become targets of interest and capture as well. These women all possess unique special abilities and mutations making them prime assets for the progress to the NEMESIS Project. Unlike Laharl/ALPHA-ONE they kill men and women alike, because of their extreme bloodshed and sadistic, ruthless violence they wrought onto the nation. They came to call themselves the "Bloodshotz" and to prevent any info of them to spread or survivors from getting revenge or talking PROMETHEUS top agents, often called the "CLEANERS" got rid of all evidence, all information, and misdirect investigations involving these murders. The last reported site of the Bloodshotz, was on 17-NOV, 1975 Dallas, Texas.
The Humboldt-Toiyabe Raid ALPHA-ONE/Laharl Dante Crowley Age 24, was captured along with his "beloveds" as he refers to the A_EVEs, with agents of both organizations scattered and tracking all signs of them, fortune smiled upon Barrow. They've learned of a massacre of camping ground that resulted in over a four dozen families dead, which the Bloodshotz were responsible for so a raid was done in Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, California. After years of tracking down ALPHA-ONE, and the A_EVEs across North America, they found the Humboldt-Toiyabe Forest, camping and performing a extreme orgy with each other, this granted them the element of surprise and the retrieval/capture team struck and using militarized tactics, and advance technology to face against the NEMESISs, and after losing 78% the team in 14-hours the capture was a success. All nine high-value targets were captured, tranqued, and now on a secured route to the new facility. Finally the NEMESIS Project can progress.
The Warrior-N & Nectar Formulas Discovery It is the year 1985, and all ALPHAs have shown extreme cellular regeneration, keeping them in a state of prime condition and strength, in this case between teen-adult to young adult. Through some testing they uncovered this ability that all ALPHAs possess. Original theory it was through blood samples of these NEMESIS, one can create new NEMESIS or possibly new varients of Mutates, but after some examinations and testing with the blood samples of ALPHA-ONE & ALPHA_EVEs two new formulas were created. NEMESIS PROJECT-FILE#C.548
The first one was codename the "WARRIOR-N. Formula" given to PROMETHEUS which in turn gave the formula to the military, through the Secretary of Defense. This provided more funds and resources for their organizations, and in exchange him and all apart of the S.O.D. circle further support to the NEMESIS Project. As for the Warrior Formula's function through injection all soldiers will experience temporary increase physical abilities, regeneration, and healing capabilities for a limited amount of time. As for the side-effects of the formula, soldiers that have injected the WARRIOR-N. Formula, suffer from a rising, constant adrenaline spike, as well increase heart-rate, causing possibly risk of heart-attack, but the positive results outweigh the negatives, hence the military accepted it and this has changed the tide of combat since.
The second formula is codename "NECTAR" while WARRIOR-N. adjustments were focused on cellular regeneration and strengthening. Thus those that take the formula, grants extended youth and vitality, basically a formula of eternal youth and life. Cause of this unexpected breakthrough, from the Barrow Scientist department has greatly increase the power, influence, and potential of the Board of Barrow Corp. this also grant them a great opportunity to secure Barrow positions of power in the government and solidified their relationship with PROMETHEUS. As the Nectar Formula, was only use by the top members of both organizations, and through some chemical manipulations two varients of the Nectar was made. One varient is exclusive used by members of the highest level, the elite of the elite, without any side-effects or risk, called the Prime Nectar, while the lesser varient secretly called the L-Nectar, this causes addiction and extreme need for the ones that use this formula, for it lacked some needed enzymes to sustain the user's cells. Cause after a certain amount of time, causes the own body's cells to attack the foreign, introduced NEMESIS cells within the user. Thus the Lesser Nectar, is use to control various members from high-society and even within the government, under the watch and discretion of PROMETHEUS. NEMESIS PROJECT-FILE#C.555
The New Test Trails, the Start of Phase One Year 1990 with the added funds and resources of the use of the two Barrow Formulas, has expanded not only the options and opportunities have presented themselves for the progress of the NEMESIS Project. The previous facility, has shown to be insufficient for the next stage of the NEMESIS Project, so all records, files, and data of that previous [REDACTED] facility were collected, deposed off, and redacted for the security of the Project, and the organizations secrets. Locked away, and forgotten the NEMESIS and remaining Mutate were in the process of relocation to a new facility for the beginning of the next stage of the Project.
Stage One, is the true start of the NEMESIS Project. Since science and biology has reached it a bottleneck of progression, Barrow suggested the addition of psychological aid, not only to understand the ALPHAs, but also pick up the piece missing in this puzzle of this mystery. PROMETHEUS approved of this idea, and promise to recruit all the most talented minds in the psychology field. With that division in progress, the Board of Barrow presented the next stage of the Project, in using their increased fund to build a massive facility that will not only be more advanced, and secure than the last location, but also have special "levels" to observe the ALPHAS_EVEs. They also tried to also include ALPHA-ONE, but PROMETHEUS refuse this for risk that ALPHA-ONE might escape, or worse perish before they can extract the secret that ALPHA-ONE has in the creation of new NEMESIS. So only ALPHA-ONE shall be permanently sealed away, but therapy sessions with him, shall be permitted along with testing on him as well...as the Board of Barrow, continues the planing the next stage of the NEMESIS Project.
After the rest of the presentation of the next stage. Also they presented that they can start new "human test trails" like before in the HERCULES & NEMESIS Projects, they'll present a sign up for people. Promising food, shelter, and prosperity to the dreks of society, the homeless, hopeless, unseen and most importantly the ones that will go unmissed. Then will use these people as the "test subjects" to uncovered all is needed to create and control the NEMESIS, but also to "feed" in a matter of saying the ALPHAs predatory instincts and uncover more of the EVEs unique mutations, abilities, mannerisms, and reason ALPHA-ONE choose them to become NEMESIS, and what unique qualities allowed the process to be successful, when all their experiments were failures. Once again PROMETHEUS approved of this, and with that finished Stage One was signed off and in process of being created on a new facility site. For now the NEMESIS Project has finally able to continue, and PROMETHEUS has even introduced a recruitment subject for a talented psychologist name, Annabeth Lunara. NEMESIS PROJECT-FILE#C.713
