The boy who never forgot

by Marching eagle

As a boy without hope, looks down at the ground. He feels empty as his idol, the ever heroic All Might. Said no crushing his dreams, seeing how he has nothing to live for, he jumps. And as gravity wants to claim him, it will be a shadow instead. This shadow laughed. As the end of the Heroic world would come soon, and a world of chaos will reign.

16. The ones with brains (IFSRIV)

Chapter 16: The ones with braines

The Institute for Scientific Research in Viruses (IFSRIV) stands as a shadowy entity, shrouded in secrecy and steeped in a history that spans over a century. Founded in 1901 by Czech Dr. Bořivoj Myška, assisted by Dr. Nediljko Branković and Professor Malthe Knudsen, the organization initially focused on studying plant diseases like the Tobacco mosaic virus.

In the aftermath of World War I, IFSRIV secured funding from the Czechoslovakian government and expanded its research to include bacteria and other diseases. Notably, in 1923, they began studying Francisella tularensis, the bacterium responsible for Tularemia.

Following Dr. Bořivoj Myška's death in 1925, Dr. Nediljko Branković shifted the organization's focus to infectious diseases affecting humans and animals. Throughout the years, IFSRIV's activities remained veiled in secrecy, conducting experiments on various viruses and bacteria, including Yellow Fever.

In 1938, the organization underwent a significant change when it was acquired by Wilton Pesticides, a company specializing in pesticides. The move to Birmingham in the UK, closer to Wilton Pesticides' headquarters, marked a shift in IFSRIV's direction. During World War II, they were co-opted by the British government for chemical weapons research, creating the lethal gas Rogerium.

After the war, IFSRIV found itself under NATO's umbrella, split between the East and West Lines. The New Line, owned by Günter Wilfrid Kranz and Dr. Firmin Leclair, continued its research independently, generating various viruses and diseases. Meanwhile, the CSTO Branch, owned by Dr. Yegor Novikov, aligned with the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation.

The story unfolds as IFSRIV-New Line, operating in numerous countries, conceals its dark research beneath laboratory walls. Simultaneously, IFSRIV-CSTO Branch maintains its allegiance to the Russian government, conducting covert operations across Eastern Europe and Asia.

The legacy of IFSRIV, draped in intrigue and secrecy, sets the stage for future revelations and plot developments in the narrative.
