“Man is a narcissistic species by nature.
We have colonized the four corners of our tiny planet. But we are not the
pinnacle of so-called evolution. That honour belongs to the lowly cockroach –
capable of living for months without food; remaining alive headless for weeks
at a time; resistant to radiation. If God has indeed created himself in his own
image, then I submit to you that God is a cockroach. They say that man uses
only a tenth of his brain power. Another percent, and we might actually be
worthy of God's image. Unless, of course, that day has already arrived.
Teleportation, levitation, tissue regeneration. Is this outside the realm of
possibility? Or is man entering a new gateway to evolution? Is he finally
standing at the threshold to true human potential?”
It's been well over a year now since the first stream of scientists
moved into the city, and it doesn't look like they're planning on leaving any
time soon. Nobody's figured out who they are or what they came for, nobody
even knows that they're here, but what people do know is that something is
changing within themselves. After the Summer of 2008 came and went, strange
things started happening to the people of Montreal, and no one knows why.
Mind reading, human flight, invisibility, teleportation, it's all happening right here,
right in front of our eyes. But why isn't it reaching the news? Why isn't it all in
the media? And how many more people have to suffer with their new abilities in
silence before someone reaches out to help them? One thing's for sure, the
rate of mutants is slowly on the rise, and there's no telling when these strange
things are going to stop. The only hope for these people is that someone
manages to get a message to the outside world as soon as they can, before
something really bad happens, preferably before the government do more
damage than they can fix.
