“	They shuffle around the dark, bloody corridors of Citadel Station with no memory of what they were or how they came to be. Their flesh belongs to her. No longer unique, but her glory cannot be sustained without their unquestioning obedience.	”

“	Specimen 79: Through the power of EDITR we have gained the ability to manipulate life in utero, but full grown adults remains a mystery. Attempting to transfer genetic traits from person to person often has "unsettling" results. The subject gains a suprahuman level of strength. Unfortunately, that is where the advancement ends. Cognitive abilities decline almost immediately, followed by distortion in bone, muscle, and connective and neural tissue. There is no value in a suprahuman soldier that cannot be controlled.	”
