Rot And Rust

As the world's resources began to deplete, the wealthy sought a way to outlive those who had their riches stolen from them. A mission had been set forward by the top of the food chain, to find a way that they would reign over the poor for the centuries to come. That is how Project Alpha came to be, a series of experiments on hundreds of thousands with one goal in mind, forcing the evolution of mankind. But pumping citizens with toxic waste had an effect that was rather unexpected, they had developed an extra gene, one that altered the biology of their body completely allowing them to have powers nothing short of miracles. Sergeant Samael led the research committee which was focused on the development of the serum and robotics found that the serum was no longer needed, so he exterminated every single individual who was even remotely related to the lab. That is how the age of cyber enhancements came to the hands of the wealthy in this world.
