The Testing Gets Worse!!

After the heartbreaking failure that Luke has to endure when it seemed that he was finally going to be free to leave the underground labs, the testing that is done on him intensifies.  Dr. Anders is more obsessed than ever with finding the cure.  Luke's father, Dr. Emia, can no longer look Luke in the eye.  He played God, and is now stuck with his creation and can do nothing to improve its wretched life.  He is the Victor Frankenstein of the modern age.  However, the mob chasing after him is going to be carrying more than pitchforks and shovels...

Luke seems to be growing.  His body is maturing and he is feeling more and more confined in the living quarters in which he is imprisoned.  His father has given him books to read that are suppose to teach him everything he could ever want to know.  Luke absorbs the knowledge, but feels like something is being kept from him.  Despite his constant pleading, no one has ever told him a clear answer as to why he is trapped there.  All they ever say is that he's sick and must be cured.  Health seems to be a big deal around the lab, but Dr. Emia will not give him any books about health or explain it to him.

The mood in the labs is getting intense.  Luke sees arguments breaking out randomly between other scientists when he is being transported to his next testing sessions.  Strange men in black suits have been frequenting the labs and Luke is often startled when they appear at his window.  However, they never take him to the labs to do tests.  They simply observe him for a short while and then leave.  Luke senses that something is happening, but his estranged father will no longer speak more than a few words to him.  When he does talk to him, his words are slurred and a strange smell is on his breath.

Then, Dr. Emia has an epiphany of sorts and thinks he has found the way to finally find the cure.  This whole time, they have been creating possible cures and testing them on Luke, practically hoping to kill him.  However, Dr. Emia realizes that, when he created Luke, he created the carrier of that which they are trying to cure.  Therefore, Luke is the cure.  However, Luke's maturing body is changing and as they get closer to extracting the cure from him, something amazing and completely unexpected happens...

What they don't know, however, is that this seemingly small event, is the first of a series of events that will plunge the country into war and chaos...
