Alpha Zero
Added 2024-09-29 05:12:32 +0000 UTCDecades ago, a supersoldier program was launched during humanity's greatest war against machines, designed to enhance human capabilities to combat the relentless onslaught of androids. With resources dwindling and hope fading, the last remnants of the resistance turned to a brilliant biochemist, tasking her with the creation of a revolutionary drug: Alpha.
Just as she was preparing for the first successful human trials, disaster struck. AI drones descended upon the remote, secret facility located on a man-made island in the Pacific. In an instant, plasma bombs detonated, reducing metal to molten puddles and concrete to dust, while charring anything caught in the blast.
But in the chaos, the lead researcher acted on instinct, shielding her assistant with her own body.
When they regained consciousness, everything had changed.
The once-diminutive scientist now stood towering at seven feet, her body transformed into a mass of superhuman muscle. She realized, in a flash of clarity, that she must have inadvertently dosed herself instead of her petrified subject, still lying unconscious on the gurney.
Yet her transformation went beyond mere size and strength. A strange weight pulsed in her loins, accompanied by a frantic voice in her mind: No time to waste. The sound of returning drones echoed ominously, signaling a second bombing run. The remnants of her lab coat, charred and smoldering, felt warm against her skin but caused no pain.
Hope surged within her. Was she invulnerable? No, she corrected herself—her body was healing at an extraordinary rate, granting her the appearance of resilience.
Time was running out. She had to act.
