(FOR GM EYES ONLY)
The first stage,
known as Project G.A.B.E.L. (Genetically Altered,
Biologically Engineered Life) was theoretically carried out to
eliminate imperfections in human fetuses via genetic alteration.
During the execution of the project, homeless women and women from
mental institutions, even coma victims, were impregnated with carefully
selected seed. During their pregnancies they were monitored and
kept restrained and undersurvellance. Their fetuses were
continously subjected to experimentation designed to maximize viability
and weed out any and all genetic deisease, defect, and 
deformity.
The project was an utter failure, the babies were born with a variety
of problems, most suffering from advanced cellular decomposition, their
bodies literally ate themselves up as anything entering the body,
including food, was immediately attacked by the bodies immune system as
being a hostile intruder. In some cases the immune systems were
so overfunctioning that they would attack the flesh, bones and organs,
literally liquefying the body. Only one recorded success was
born. The first phase of the project was scrapped and all test
subjects destroyed. None of the host mothers have ever been
located. There is rumor within the company that the one healthy
test subject escaped and is still alive.
The second stage, Project E.L.S.I.E. (Engineered
Life System, Intelligence Enahnced), was begun 8 years ago. This
time the goal was not only to create the perfect embryo, but to alter
it, maximizing reflexes, speed, intelligence, and strength. This
project was in conjunction with military funding, and the military even
provided an abandoned missile silo in the Nevada test range to be used
as a top secret research complex. Initially the results were more
than they hoped for. The test subjects born (again using host
mothers from mental institutions and coma wards) displayed superhuman
abilities, their reflexes and intelligence were off the charts.
They even healed faster. It was noted however that the children
had a sociopathic nature, with tendencies of extremely violent
psychotic outbursts. Again the project was shut down, and most of
the test subjects destroyed. Not all however, a select few were
left alive, their military aplication potential was too great so it was
decided that they would continue to test and monitor a select
few. Most of the selected subjects were sold off to fund stage
3. There were seven selected subjects in all, 5 
females,
one of
each sold to the U.S. Military, the EDF, Militech, Arasaka, and the
ESA. Each of the recipients were led to believe they had the only
surviving test subject. The other 2 selected subjects, both
males, were "adopted" by James Laterne. All other subjects born
of Project E.L.S.I.E were ordered to be put into cold storage and the
facility scrapped six months ago. Six Giger full conversion
cyborgs were left to guard the facility. (again one subject
escaped, see
the Night Crew) (it should be noted that
the cause of the childrens sociopathy and violent rages was the almost
total braindance education and lack of humant nurturing and contact.)
human cloning, a
Dr. Francis Young to head the
research. None of the new researchers were aware of the existence
of the prior stages. During the first 3 years progress was slow,
however the tragic death of Dr. Youngs daughter led him, perhaps out of
grief and desperation, to discover the genetic sequencing required to
clone a fully grown and viable human being. He used genetic
material harvested from his daughter and created the worlds first
successful human clone. He gave the girl memory implants, and
named her Adriana. Like the progeny of Stage 2, Adriana's
intelligence was off the charts, and under Dr. Youngs supervision and
tutelage, assisted with 
braindance
educators, within 1 year she was
able to serve as his research assistant. To prevent the
sociopathy and violent her medula oblongata was severely altered,
making it almost impossible her to harm another anything or
anyone. To safeguard the reseach
Dr. Young implanted a cerebral storage device in Adriana head, along
with reverse interface plugs, allowing users to interface directly into
Adrianas brain and storage unit. Then, 3 months ago, Dr. Young
dissapeared while in transit to Biotechnica's headquarters in San
Francisco, where he was to give a presentation on his progress to the
board of directors. (D.r Young discovered the truth about Stage 2
and 
that his research was to be used for future military
applications,
and destroyed all the data except what he had secretly stored in
Adriana's memory unit, and contacted a Fixer in Night city named Chin
to help him escape. Chin set him up with an associate in New York
named Elliot Wier. Wier helped Young escape and put him into
hiding in Night City, and Young hired Chin to steal one of the frozen
subjects from stage 2 that was being moved from a storage facility
outside Las Vegas to a permanent and secure home in Oregon.
Recognizing the danger he had placed Adriana in he hired Wier to
extract his daughter and get them both out of the country.)
Biotechnica will stop at nothing to get Adriana and the data back, and
have called out their most skilled assassin
to deal with anyone who gets in their way. (This
is where the Cyberpunk 2020 mega adventure Land Of The Free Begins.)
