~Plot~

Did you ever play the game Telephone? That child's game where the teacher starts a phrase moving around a circle, and sees what comes out at the end? Or have you and your friends created a ghost story that you passed on to others, and now no one can agree on the details… if the ghost was a girl or a guy, if they were murdered or committed suicide? Keep these moments in your mind, as I tell you about the lives of Twelve children who were born to be monsters and thrown in to a ghost story, hidden from the public eye. When the smoke settled, the world forgot the few details it had learned, preferring the comforting lies that the government was all to eager to provide.

In 2007, fourteen women were procured and used as breeding stock for those with the connections to even be aware of the program, and the money to want protection. All fourteen were impregnated and gave birth shortly afterward, having to repeat the process if they failed to provide a healthy child. After they gave birth, the children were taken from their mothers and put in to the program, the first seven years of their lives their minds were carefully constructed, shaped into the ultimate weapons, cultivated into the monsters they would inevitably become. At the age of seven, they were deemed ready; the organization took them as a group and locked them in to a cement cell with no windows, they were ready for the real program to start.

The first day they woke to be beaten with in an inch of their lives before being handed over to a group of “masters” who would train them until they dropped, when they did they would be beaten some more and thrown back in to the cell. The children with the necessary skills would aid the injured, or do what they could-- this was survival of the fittest, and the weak revived no mercy. The children formed a bond of necessity, something stronger than blood, more of a family than biological bonds could ever build. They became each others life lines, the only things keeping them sane, keeping each other from going over the edge, from just rolling over and dying.

But they were never told that, in the end, they would have to kill their master to survive, to graduate the program.

They were never told, they would lose half of their family.

Enter a world of pain, murder, and a bond so deep that even the fires of hell couldn’t destroy it.

It's 2032, and oil is dwindling. Black gold fuels politics, and even former allies are becoming estranged with fear and suspicion. Hidden oil reserves, rumors of human experimentation, and a thousand other stimuli have forced the world apart in the last few decades. Meanwhile, the children were entering their mid-twenties, and they were notoriously effective killers-- stronger than any weapon ever developed, bound only by promise and pain they would do as they are directed except when it came to losing one of their own. They are the ghost story that all the governments fear. They are nothing but whispers on the wind; six prodigal children. Rulers shake in horror at the thought of what they are and what they can do. The public dismisses it, yet another conspiracy theory to add into the mix. But the nations of the world cling to it as a last final hope, artificially boosted intelligence in humans seems a brilliant solution as oil becomes more and more expensive. Why not just pass the problem on to them? Surely they could come up with a solution. If only Russia would stop hiding them. Or America. Or Britain, China, Japan, Brazil, Iran, Zimbabwe, and every other country under the sun. The globe is in the midst of a New Cold War as the search for these individuals intensifies, and tensions are coming to a boil. Some country's relations have devolved into a simple arms race, with engineers racing to find the next super weapon before their opponents do.
