The Halfa ProjectUp For Adoption Chapter 1: GIW File, a danny phantom fanfic

AN: Hi! So, this is my first story(that I'm willing to let people read). It starts off with a look at an in-world government document that explains the AU(because it IS AU) to the reader. It is an idea that I've had for about a week that just refuses to leave me alone. I would love some Constructive Criticism if you guys would be willing to provide it. Also, just to warn you: Updates will be slow. I'll try to update on June 20th(my 20th birthday coincidentally) if I can, but no promises(I have two Sociology tests that day).

Disclaimer: If I owned Danny Phantom, Phantom Planet and season three wouldn't have happened(Just saying!).

The Phantom Project:

G.I.W. File #4729561A:

File Type: Sub A24-CX19-V27-M(Secret Legal Historical Record Document)

Note: The following file was considered clearance level W4(for the eyes of senior agents of the GIW, Those whom the document directly concerns, and government officials of the House of Law only) until recent events forced the hand of the GIW and House of Law to repeal said clearance and issue mandatory orders for all active agents to read the file. As such, all blacked out information has been revealed so that agents would be able to comprehend the contents of the file. It has now been moved to Classification R10.

The Phantom project was first proposed on July 18, 1999 by Madeline Ashley Jane Farshaw(Head of research at GIW Base: White Fox 15 – Location: The Amity Valley, Southern Minnesota) as a theoretically possible defense measure against the Ghost armies. The project's conception was a culmination of ideas and theories about ecto-physics and biology taken from a variety of occasionally questionable sources. Among these sources were the researchers Alexander Mathias Simon(License revoked for experimental testing of Ghost ENA in the human system in 1897) and Jason Drake Smith(Forbidden from ever participating in any official scientific endeavor after the disastrous Ectoranium infusion cancer cure of 1993 – Terminated the following year by Agent Z for the illegal use of ENA to encourage tissue regeneration in animals). These sources presented a very frightening – if effective – possible countermeasure to Pariah's bloodthirsty campaign of conquest.

The concept could be boiled down to a simple idea – the mixture of human DNA with Ghost ENA through the use of genetic splicing and other methods. Through the use of genetic splicing and other procedures that we are not at liberty to reveal in a Sub-level A24-CX19-V27-M file, the scientists would create a Half-Ghost or "Halfa" as they were later titled by one of Madeline's partners in the conception and later execution of the project(and even later husband) Jack Johnson Fenton.

The project was stalled by critics and members of the "Pure Human Life" group, who found the concept of using ENA to create a group of what were basically super-soldiers distasteful. There was a legal hearing scheduled during the summer of 2005 to discuss the ethical ramifications of the project, which would be taking a number of humans and sentencing them to a fate worse than murder. Other critics cried out that the effect of the ENA would corrupt and eventually override the human half – causing the "Halfas" to turn upon their creators and side with Pariah's already frightening. Still others stated that the mental and physical effects of the ENA would be catastrophic when paired with human DNA. One man was quoted as saying that "These soldiers that would be created would be sub-human at best. They would obviously not be capable of thought processes equaling or even coming close to that of humans. The ENA would destroy any semblance of free will and mental capacity that they would possess. Are we really going to create such beings to defend us if they would be so easily influenced by others?" We are not at liberty to say who made this statement, but it was one of many similar claims made in the defense of the "Pure Human Life" group's point of view.

Eventually however, there came a time when humanity had few options left. The war was draining resources at a catastrophic rate. People gave into the base emotion of fear. And, the project was set into motion under the now Madeline Ashley Jane Fenton(Previously Madeline Ashley Jane Farshaw)'s oversight. Several top scientists were assigned to the project, funded by the Manson family(Third among the Houses of Law).

The first "Halfa" procedure preformed was on Vladimir Nathan Masters(Second Lead of the Halfa Project). Vladimir was the heir to the Masters family(Fourth among the Houses of Law) and a very intelligent man. He was the one who originally discovered the process by which ENA and DNA could be combined – through notations made by other scientists.

But, the project did not go as planned. When the scientists finished the genetic manipulation required to create the first "Halfa" something went wrong. Whether it was a synapse that had been cut wrong, or two genes that were not meant to go together, the ENA overpowered the original DNA of Vladimir Masters and created a monster.

Research revealed that, once past a certain stage of development, the human DNA would not bond properly to the Ghost ENA. This was what happened with Vladimir. So, spurred by the ridicule and a desire to prove their theories correct, Madeline and her team continued to research and develop the program – even after Vladimir's escape and against the wishes of many of the Houses of Law.

The scientists quickly found DNA samples from humans – through either discrete payments or legal duty. The ENA samples were less easy to come by, though they were eventually obtained from a variety of surprising sources. Among these unwilling donors were Pariah Dark himself, Clockwork(Advisor to the High King, Pariah), and several lieutenants and high ranking officers in Pariah's armies. These were - of course - all obtained in the middle of battles. A snatch and grab tactic proved futile.

Once the samples were obtained and delivered the scientists at GIW Base: White Fox 15, the project could finally be set in motion – though some deemed it unnecessary with the passing of the archaic methods of anti-ecto-warfare(Salt and the other mysticisms) and the introduction of what some unknown scientist labeled Ghost-tech(despite its non-related status to ghosts for anything more than using ectoplasm as a power source).

The project team began the development of the "Halfas" on November 18, 2009. There were a total of One-hundred-and-fifty-seven potential "Halfas" in the beginning. Before genetic manipulation had concluded, over eighty had died, leaving only seventy-three remaining potential "Halfas" in incubation. Over thirty died in the first two weeks of the incubation process, leaving forty-one as yet unharmed potential "Halfa" super-soldiers. Disaster struck six months into the incubation process(one month before they would normally be "born" if they had been conceived in the traditional way). This calamity left a total of Seven unharmed potential "Halfas" to finish out the incubation process.

The first year was difficult, as the ENA and DNA regulated and fought for dominance. One of the "children" was not strong enough, and did not survive the year. The others however survived – if not in the expected way. Once it was determined "safe" or "non-lethal" to input tracking chips into the "Halfas" the scientists did so, arming the chips to include a White Fang Inducer or – to use a street term – kill switch. This was a safety measure included to make absolutely certain that – even if the "Halfas" turned against humanity – they would not be able to do much before they were terminated.

Unfortunately, the project was a failure. The ENA gradually vanished for no apparent reason. The only theory proposed was that the DNA had somehow overpowered it and extrapolated what its remaining fragments should be. This theory is misleading, because it implies that the ENA had no effect. However, if that were the case, the human DNA would not have been able of extrapolation and allow the creation of its missing fragments. Thus, leaving a confusing mystery that implies that the ENA allowed for its own destruction. This, is unlikely in the extreme, knowing what we do about ENA, ghosts, and their natures.

After the failure of the project, and its termination, the six remaining "Halfas" were assigned parental figures to watch over them in the unlikely case that their ENA re-asserted itself. Of the remaining six "Halfas" there were four females and two male. As the lead scientists Madeline and Jack Fenton were assigned Projects H-1(one of the remaining males), H-2(The twin female of H-1), and H-4(one of the remaining females). The Manson family was assigned one of these "Halfas" as well – Project H-3 – Because the egg was gathered from one of their house's members. The last female(H-5) was given to a low ranking labor family who served the Sanchez house(Second among the Houses of Law). The final remaining "Halfa" was placed under the watch of a Law Keeper and his wife, who had – and still have – no knowledge of the project's existence. They were told that the boy was an orphan who had lost his parents in the war, and that the government had their eye on the boy incase he showed any promise like his other family had.

To further disguise the failure of the program, each "Halfa" was given an amount of HGH(Human Growth Hormone) that resulted in a slightly varied physical age for each of the unknowing subjects. This allowed the sudden appearance of several families to go relatively unnoticed by the population, and allowed for the memory of the project to descend into the history books as a minor upset in the war.

The "families" of these "Halfas" were distributed through the town of Amity Park, a small town on the very edge of the Republic in the Amity Valley. Agents were assigned to watch over them, and if necessary, terminate the "Halfas" and their guardians. Yearly reports on the Halfas' well-being and development were required, including the disclosure of any information in regards to their less than human halves. In return the families would receive a stipend roughly equal to that of a lower-middle-class family.

Note: One Might find references to the "Halfa" project in text books used in High School history classes. This is a reference to The Phantom Projects, using the name that slipped through security proximately two years into the project.
