Below an isolated and inhabited island called Tristan da Cunha lies an amazing modernized facility built by the joint forces of 6 countries. Each country contributed financially and in terms of workers, each of the countries sent the most intelligent scientists they could find. These countries are the most powerful in terms of military and defense capabilities, massive nuclear weapons, and trains manpower in which only the fittest could get through. They will have a fair share to the outcome of the project they're in. Tristan da Cunha is the perfect place to develop the warfare project which United States, Russia, China, India, The United Kingdom and France supported financially.
The main idea of the project came from Dr. Skylar Brischt, an anatomist who ones studied at Harvard University and became a professor. He didn't stop there, he has a belief that a day would come that he needs to expand his knowledge on the human anatomy. He traveled to Peru in search for a vampire bat. Fortunate enough, he found what he was seeking and returned to Cambridge to study the anatomy of the bat. Using the Harvard's laboratory he sneaks up and used the facility. With a rat as an experimental medium, he started to get a blood sample from the bat and placed it on the microscope. He was fascinated by what he saw, the blood was of shades of dark red. He then added to the same specimen, the blood sample he got from the rat. He was so into it, the darker shades of red eats up the lighter ones and turned up to be almost black in color. He set it aside and got another sample from the bat. He injected it to the rat and called it a night. He cleaned up his table and sneaks away. Dr. Brischt carelessly left the rat cage open. The rat climbed up and went to another table where particles of a Human Growth Hormone was left uncleaned. It licked it all up and roamed around the laboratory. When morning comes, Dr. Brischt rushed through the laboratory only to find out that the rat was no longer there. He searched up the whole laboratory and found the little rat under the cabinet at the last corner of the room. He picked it up and was stunned by what he saw, the rat's spine arched almost like a camel's and two fangs portruded which was not there last night. The eyes turns red that it almost glow in the dim light. He hurried and took an x-ray, studied it up and taking notes to every changes the rat progresses day by day. He took another blood sample from the rat and looked at it. He can't believe his eyes. The blood seems to dry up the moment he put some on the specimen. He took some of it to a friend and like him Dr. Mika Verdan felt the need to study it more. The two of them then figured out that the rat had some drug mixed up in its blood.
"This is really fascinating Dr. Brischt. The fact that you turned this rat into something extraordinary, I-I don't know what to say."
"Dr. Verdan, it was all an accident, but to know the very reason of this mutation, with your help, we can do something else. Something more valuable and helpful."
"What do you mean Dr. Brischt?" Dr. Verdan asked confusingly.
"I know someone who can finance us with this project. Someone who can supply us with all we need and a place where we can expand our research."
"Don't tell me your going to propose this project to Senator Johanssen."
With a sly smile, Dr. Verdan then knew what's on his mind.
"Can't you see. This is our chance to create something phenomenal."
"What can you do with a rat and a bat? It's just mutated that's why it's like that."
In the heat of their argument, they noticed that the rat started acting strangely. It keeps on turning around and seems like it wants something. Dr. Verdan then opened the cage and took the rat out, then she screamed in pain as the rat bit her hand. She then shook her hand to drop the rat, but it was biting too deeply for it to let go. She can feel the rat sucking on her blood and seemed like filling itself up to its content. Dr. Brischt hit the head of the rat while it was still on Dr. Verdan's hand. It flew a bit far and ran towards the door. Dr. Brischt raced to it and luckily got there first to lock the door. He hit the rat again with all his might until it died.
"Dr. Verdan, are you alright?" asked Dr. Brischt in a trembling voice. He saw that the blood from the bitten hand was still flowing out.
"D-Dr. B-Brischt, I-I f-feel w-weird. It's like I'm drying up." her face turned pale and her lips chapped.
Dr. Brischt hurriedly called for an ambulance. He went to the hospital with Dr. Verdan but sadly she did not make it in time. The doctors who attended her couldn't think of any reason that caused her death. She was too dehydrated, her skin turned pale and her eyes almost bulging out. Dr. Brischt was called by the board of directors of the University and asked for the complete explanation about the incident. He was fired as a professor and banned from practicing researches on his current work. He was banned from all research facilities and other medical institutions. Even in the interrogation, he didn't say a single word about the mutation of the rat. All of it was kept secret until this day.
Dr. Brischt found his future in the supervision of the Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staffs Gen. Frank Walters. Who by then, thought that the project would be of a great help to the military forces, ones Dr. Brischt can manage to pull it off. Gen. Walters and Dr. Brischt laid out their proposals to the other Chairman of the Joint Staff in the other 5 countries. They gave 5 years treaty to the said project. Each of them desired to have such power when the time comes. All they have to do was to hide every single detail about the experiment to the Presidents, and other government officials. Especially, to the public eye. With the Tristan da Cunha spot, they started the construction that only lasted in 8 months. Dr. Brischt now can freely dig up his project and enhance it more to its full capacity. The vicinity was heavily guarded and all the scientists helping out with the project were isolated in the area. They were not allowed to go out nor to sneak, or they'll be killed. This project was highly confidential that they won't allow a single detail to leak out. With new and modern technology intact, Dr. Brischt was so eager to perfect his Vampire project.
Even in the distant sight of success, behind every country's willingness to cooperate lies an inner motive of selfishness. The Hidden-Allied Facility was made up of all representative of the 6 countries. Every now and then, the representatives would like to have an update on the project. Dr. Brischt set 2 different methods in initiating the mutation. The first one was the Injection process, and the other one was the Biting process. Every animal showed different reactions, some of them died, and some of them were too hostile that they ended up being killed. Out of 100 animal tests, only 3% of them survived. Others suddenly decomposed in the first 2 hours and others were killed because of hostility. The representatives were not happy with the progress of the project. They urged Dr. Brischt to double his efforts and develop new sets of tests. Suddenly, the Russian Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staffs Gen. Ioann Nushka proposed to use the different types of monkeys that had closer anatomy to that of a human.
"Dr. Brischt, it's been 3 years and we don't have any good call on this project. May I suggest that it's better to use those monkeys for your experiments rather than the other animals you've been using. It's more near to human anatomy than those crawling beasts." there's a sound of impatience in his voice.
"Good suggestion General. I may have overlooked the possibility, and your suggestion could lead me to succeed."
"I'm not suggesting this to be overlooked again Dr. Brischt. I'm running out of patience, if this takes longer than expected I'll cut the financial support in half."
"Don't sir. Please, just give---"
"We've given you enough time. In 5 months I want this completely done."
"Isn't it a bit rude to act that way Gen. Nushka." Gen. Johanssen sat next to Gen. Yang.
"It isn't General. That Doctor's a bit lazy, he needed some motivation." Gen. Nushka smirked off while walking away.
"Gen. Johanssen, how sure are you that this will work?" Gen. Li-ren Yang asked in a solid voice.
"Gen. Yang, I saw it with my own eyes. It's just a matter of patience and this will be a success." Gen. Yang stood up and walked away, following Gen. Nushka.
Five months sounds so short for the project but Dr. Brischt needed to sort things out, or this will be impossible for him to claim as a success. He set out new plans, calculations on the amount of blood injected, and HGH content to each blood samples. He was given only 5 monkeys to be used in this experiment. On the first month he used the little one and it ended up dying, this time he set out the after-research team to determine the failure in each tests which, he didn't do for the past years. On the second month, he adjusted the content of bat blood and HGH, to fit on the monkey's weight and size. They used the Injection method and took turns in observing the sepcimen. Taking notes on the different scenes they've observed on the monkey's body reaction and habits. It was dawn when a young scientist noticed that the monkey they named BB-502 kept on biting the wood they laid out awhile ago, and stunned by the current scene, Dr. Daniels called up Dr. Brischt and the others. They started documenting it. After 24 hours, the monkey survived its first day. They taped the mouth and hands, and got a new set of blood samples. On the second day, they noticed that it seemed like dehydrating, they gave it food and water but it doesn't even lay a hand on it. Dr. Brischt then remembered the time Dr. Verdan died. He asked Dr. Daniels to pick up a dog and put it next to BB-502. At first the monkey jumped up and down, like panicking. The dog then barked like it knows something's about to happen. Then suddenly, the monkey rush towards the dog, it happened so fast. In just seconds, its fangs were right where they should be. They all froze witnessing the success of the experiment. A clap got their attention.
"Very well done Dr. Brischt."A monitor popped up revealing the 5 representatives. Gen. Johanssen saw it for himself.
"That's what I was looking forward to. I guess were ready to test it to a human now. Am I right Dr. Brischt?" Gen. Nushka grins in amusement.
"But General I still have a year before the treaty ends. It's not that simple to test it to a human." Dr. Brischt said in a low voice.
"General Nushka, let's finish the treaty we all agreed to first, before we jump into another test. For now let's just enjoy the scenery of the success that lies ahead." they all clapped for the success of BB-502.
BB-502 is monitored closely for other information that they needed to take note of. The other 3 shows the same signs as BB-502. No doubt the experiment was a success. All of them were injection method, Dr. Brischt just reserved the second method for the next experiments to come. Satisfied with the current output of BB-502, they prepared for the real deal. Turning a human into a Vampire.
