Mortal+/Theme/Lost Boys/Theme

 Philadelphia is no stranger to addicts. But the Lost Boys are something new. Something different. Addiction kills, yes. But their addiction also makes them killers. The augmentations to their bodies require a constant supply of what to most humans would be a toxic cocktail of chemicals both rare and unusual. There's no rush to it. It keeps you alive, but it makes you sick as a dog, too. And that's the good stuff. The bad stuff? The bad stuff can make your skin break out in lesions, make you bleed from your eyes and shit blood for days. The bad stuff will keep you alive, too, but it will sometimes make you wish it didn't.

 For veterans of the global war on terror, coming home to this betrayal has a bitter pill to swallow. The suicide rate of victims of the Delta Protocol far exceed that of other veterans, and the VA has no time for these retired warriors. Not that it could help them if it did. The Delta Protocol made certain that those chosen for these experiments would have no choice but to fall in line behind their handlers and fixers in order to receive their life prolonging injections. But they counted wrong.

 It wasn't long before someone had reverse engineered the serum. It wasn't long before desperation made someone try an injection of that bootleg serum. And it wasn't long before such experimentation stopped killing those desperate enough to undertake it. With the prospect of a life away from the dictates and desires of the Delta Protocol now a real tenable hope, The Detail has emerged, claiming responsibility for the research and claiming to be committed to performing more. To delivering more and better replacements to the serum in the hope of finally bringing true relief to all those who have been selected for the Protocol.

 This is a situation that most can already see is going to end in bloodshed. A whole lot of bloodshed, too. Which side are you on?
