Project: Genesis Strand
Prologue
Science and technology can do wonders…
During an exhibition within a cave at a remote island, archaeologists were astonished to find a sealed-off room with walls adorned with etched drawings and a language no one could identify; it appeared to be telling a story dated centuries ago, way past the days of the first cavemen. Sifting through abandoned belongings, they discovered a small box that held in a lock of black hair.
Using that as a sample, scientists were able to extract a DNA strand and input its data into the system – since the location was sealed away for centuries, this sample was subjected to a slow decaying process and they were fortunate enough to salvage most of it.
It was incomplete, but they had managed to recreate the missing strands by generating computerized versions and connecting them to the original. And with that, they were able to recreate a "clone" of the original owner of this DNA.
Scientists kept records as their experiment progressed, but their laboratory was then raided and their equipment confiscated. Since then, "Project: Genesis Strand" was never disclosed to the public and instead locked away in high-security containment.
Nobody knew what the project was about or even if it existed in the first place.
