discovered, so called junk DNA contains the genetic instructions that make evolution possible. It is in this part of the DNA that the next step, perhaps the next several steps, of human evolution exists. Under normal circumstances, this evolution would take hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of years. However, my staff and I have developed a process in which certain individual’s evolution can be accelerated.”
                  Atkinson stopped and looked at Carter and his team. “We have found, in certain rare individuals, a dormant DNA sequence that would, were it no longer dormant, produce an array of para-normal abilities that, for lack of a better term, can be called super-human. These abilities, when possessed by people with the extraordinary combination of training and combat experience possessed by our volunteers, will allow them to form a unit with a striking power usually associated with a force that is many times larger in number. We have developed a process to activate that DNA sequence in our volunteers. Further, once our volunteers are fully operational, we have identified many other subjects with the required DNA sequence that can be activated using the same procedure. For ease of reference, this DNA sequence has been referred to simply as the para-gene ; the people who posses that gene are referred to as paranormals .” Atkinson paused then; waiting for a reaction.
                  Carter stood. “Doctor, just what kind of enhanced abilities are we talking about?” he asked.
                  “Strength, agility, and physical endurance are increased by between six and ten times when compared to the individual’s previous capabilities. Mental capacity is also increased to varying degrees. For instance, a surviving subject’s cognitive functions increase to the point where the subject achieves nearly total memory recall. The subjects become ambidextrous and have greatly increased eye/hand coordination. These abilities seemed to manifest in all subjects whose para-gene has been successfully activated. Also, other more extreme and unusual abilities such as telekinesis, extremely rapid healing, and heightened physical senses have also been recorded. We have not yet been able to predict which subjects will acquire the more unusual abilities.”
                  “Unfortunately,” Atkinson said, appearing apprehensive for the first time. “We have, despite our best efforts, experienced a consistent twenty percent mortality rate among subjects undergoing the procedure. Also, even subjects who survive the process undergo a level of pain that is best described as beyond severe. ”
                  “Doc, can’t you just put us to sleep until the painful part is over?” McNamara asked.
                  “You will be sedated in the initial stages,” Atkinson replied. “However, as the process progresses, your bodies will develop increasing resistance to anesthetics. Eventually the amount of medication needed to keep you unconscious would likely be fatal.”
                  “Doctor,” Williams said. “How have you obtained the information you are presenting here? Have there already been human test subjects?”
                  Hicks came to stand beside Atkinson. “Initial trials were conducted on ten prisoners of war.” Hicks said.
                  There were astonished gasps, horrified glares, and some approving nods among the crowd. Hicks ignored them. “The WCA negated the Geneva Conventions a long time ago. The United States and the FNF have, for the most part, continued to abide by them. However, given what is, quite frankly, a desperate strategic situation; we were forced to advance this project by extraordinary means.” Hicks face hardened. “To put it simple terms; we didn’t have time to dick around giving mice superpowers.”
                  Atkinson came forward again.
