SUBJECT 384

• SUBJECT MANIFEST

  IDENTIFICATION

  
  PN-384, designated Salamander by the project supervisor

  
  
  

  GENETIC MAKEUP

  
  PN-384 is a HOMUNCULUS based on a generic human template, no animal or other DNA has been introduced into his makeup at this point in time. The subject has functioning male genitalia, but is as sterile as any HOMUNCULUS.

  
  
  

  CIRCUMSTANCES OF CREATION

  
  The subject was intended to destroy evidence and suppress individuals and institutions that threaten the continued interests of PROJECT NEPHILIM, and was commissioned by REMOVED for this purpose.

  
  
  

  PSYMETAL CONTENT

  
  The majority of the subjects body has been replaced with PSYMETAL implants and prosthetics, see the ENHANCEMENTS and VISUAL IDENTIFICATION sections for further detail.

  
  
  

  VISUAL IDENTIFICATION

  
  The subject is exactly six feet tall. Like all male HOMUNCULUS he is albino, and lacks all body hair except for his scalp. His build is modest, but with the muscle tone designed for function. The subject's features are youthful and soft, but the left side of his face is heavily scared by long vertical slashes. The subject's PSYMETAL limbs resemble tightly wound and exposed red and purple muscle tissue. They transition into his skin gradually, with no clear insertion point. The subject's spine and lower jaw implants are skeletal in appearance and have a strong black metallic sheen. The ports on his spine are small pyramid shaped structures, they are very sharp and require care when handling. The subjects PSYMETAL eyes are 4 overlapping orange rings on black metal spheres.

  
  
  

  ENHANCEMENTS

  
  Subject 384 is one of the most heavily enhanced projects I've ever been involved with. The majority of the subject's internal organs have been replaced to more effectively moderate his internal temperature, which can rise to fatal levels if not dealt with. The subject has cranial implants that grant him heightened aggression and reflexes, these same implants are wired directly into his eyes which can see in complete darkness and can even detect body heat. In the event that new implants are installed they will be wired into the subjects CREST, a large length of PSYMETAL potruding from his back which has replaced his spinal chord. All of his limbs are connected directly to this system. The subject's CREST also controls the subdermal armor plates which are ordinarily undetectable to the naked eye. When raised the CREST triggers the subject's brain which superheat the armor plates, literally melting through the skin. During deployment the PSYMETAL chords of the subject's limbs will uncoil and stretch while the plates fall into place, considerably changing his stance to a slouched almost reptile state. In addition, the subject's lower jaw and implants in his upper pallet and skull reshape his head into a more reptilian predatory configuration, not dissimilar to a skeletal chameleon. While deployed the interlocking plates can withstand force as strong as a shotgun blast. The subjects skin will grow over the plates when retracted in a a matter of seconds. If not for pain inhibiting nodes inserted in the brain stem, and without healthy HYPNO-CHEMICAL conditioning, this process would be fatal for the subject.

  
  
  

  PSYCHIC ABILITIES

  
  The subject is a CLASS 9 PSYCHIC capable of both manipulating and generating fire in considerable quantities. Mainly useful for offensive purposes and the disposal of undesirable materials and documents. As with all INDUCED PSYCHIC abilities the subject does suffer some side affects. Predominantly the subject's brain is prone to overheating. Typically this would not be a problem due to the HOMUNCULUS innate regenerative capabilities, but some have raised concerns that this could cause damage or loss of HYPNO CONDITIONING.

• PROJECT NEPEHILIM

  There is a certain degree of finality to finding out everything you ever believed was a lie. When they pried open the organic pods and I looked into their dull grey eyes I knew that I was closer now to understanding everything.
  
  The earliest records of our esteemed order date back to the practice of alchemy. At that time in history those exhibiting psychic abilities were often thought to be witches or some other strain of superstitious nonsense, but our forbears knew better. Even then with such primitive techniques they were capable of inducing psychic abilities in those with the potential, and even of creating the precious substance we know as psymetal....
  
  Those who have the vision see what we are capable of. The manifestation of psychic powers in humans is the result of tampering by outside forces, yes. But by guiding this potential, harnessing our resources and the marvels of science, psychic powers will not just be a genetic fluke inflicted upon us by capricious visitors.
  
  It will be a prelude, to the ascendancy of all Humankind!
