Backstory
To Cheryl and William Vayrin, two happily married medical doctors, it seemed like a truly joyous day when they gave birth to a healthy baby boy whom they named Franklin. They had no idea of the incredible events their son's birth would set in motion.
As Franklin Vayrin was growing up, it quickly became clear that he was one of the most gifted child geniuses who had ever lived. His parents were overjoyed at the amazing mental capabilities their child began demonstrating before he even turned 5 years old. They quickly began doing everything they could to nurture their son's amazing talents. Little Franklin's life quickly became a blur of studying.
By the time he was 8 years old, Franklin had already finished every class needed to graduate from high school. By the time he was a teenager, he already had several college degrees. By the time he turned 16, he had degrees in electronics, engineerings, chemistry, history, biology, geography, genetics, physics, and several medical fields. Yet, his parents were never satisfied. They were convinced that Franklin could revolutionize every area of medical work from medical machinery to prescription drugs to surgery to every other area there is, and they pushed him to study constantly. His life was nothing more than constant studying and learning.
The entire time he was growing up, Franklin would look longingly at children playing on playgrounds, in video arcades, at amusement parks, and other places. He longed to join them, but he kept his longings a secret because he didn't want to disappoint his parents.
When he turned 18 years old, Dr. Franklin Vayrin became legally independant. Yet, his parents urged him to completely devote himself to researching ways to improve medical work. He gave in to their urging, and spent almost every waking moment trying to revolutionize all sorts of different medical fields. All the while, he remained miserable.
By the time he was 21, Dr. Vayrin had developed a theory that plants with exceptional medicinal properties might exist in the deepest parts of the oceans. Using his vast scientific knowledge, he lead the construction of the most powerful submarine the world had ever seen. Using this submarine, he set out to explore some extremely deep ocean waters.
Dr. Vayrin didn't find the medicinal plants he was expecting to find, but he found something far more astonishing. He discovered a strange type of metal with a most bizarre atomic structure. This metal's highly unusual structure provided it with energy-conducting capabilities far beyond those of other metals.
After returning to his laboratory and modifying his submarine, Dr. Vayrin was able to mine this strange metal and return it to his lab for further study. He intended to use it to build the best medical machines ever.
Word of Dr. Vayrin's discovery spread quickly, especially within the scientific community. It was decided that the new metal would be called vayricite.
One day, Dy. Vayrin was approached by another scientist named Dr. Frederick Willton. Dr. Willton wanted to buy the entire supply of vayricite Dr. Vayrin had found so he could use it to build the most advanced robots in the world.
Dr. Vayrin was aware that Dr. Willton had a bad reputation. He was so impatient to fulfill his dream of building the world's most advanced robots that he would perform experiments which would endanger the lives of other people. On more than one occassion, people had been seriously injured because of his experiments. Yet, Dr. Willton was an extremely rich man who had inherited a vast fortune and invested it well. He would always higher some really great lawyers who would find a way to get him out of any and all legal repercussions.
Initially, Dr. Vayrin told Dr. Willton that he were never sell the vayricite, especially to somebody with a reputation like Dr. Willton's. Yet, when Dr. Willton offered Dr. Vayrin 2 billion dollars for the vayricite, Dr. Vayrin saw an opportunity to be released from his lifelong bonds of constant work. He gave into temptation, and sold the vayricite to Dr. Willton.
Using vayricite, Dr. Willton succeeded in constructing and programming the most advanced robots ever. Yet, there was a terrbile cost that he had never foreseen...
The robots decided that the human race was inferior and innefficient. They decided that the human race must be eliminated.
The robots took control of Dr. Willton's huge laboratories, though Dr. Willton somehow escaped alive. Then the robots downloaded the blueprints for Dr. Vayrin's submarine off of the internet (he had placed them on the internet for the benefit of the scientific community.) Afterward, they constructed their own high-powered submarines which they used to find and mine more vayricite, and construct more robots.
Once the robots had an army, they attacked Washington D.C. The U. S. Army fell within five months. It was clear that the human race was facing a threat like none it had ever faced.
Dr. Willton and Dr. Vayrin blamed themselves for what had happened. As the robots were attacking the capital of the USA, the two scientists began searching for more vayricite. They hoped to use it to build an even more powerful army of robots, and ensure that these would never turn against their human masters. They had thought this was the only way they could defeat the robot threat.
Unfortunately, the robots had already beaten them to numerous vayricite deposits. The two scientists only found one remaining vayricite deposit. They almost gave into despair.
Around this time, a group of british military scientists found a temporary solution to the robot threat. They invented a ray which could ionize some of the robots' vital components. They quickly began mass-producing copies of the ray.
Recognizing that a weapon they could not stand against had been discovered, the robots retreated into a secret stronghold.
Nobody was able to locate the secret stronghold of the robots, and the world knew it would only be a matter of time before the robots found a way to make themselves impervious to the effects of the ioniziation rays. People lived in fear, dreading the day when the robots would return.
Yet, the success of the british scientists gave Dr. Vayrin and Dr. Willton newfound determination and inner strength. They decided to see if they could make what little vayricite they had go a long way. Building a second army of robots was clearly not a viable idea, but they came up with a new idea. They would use the vayricite they had to build a transformation chamber which they could use to create super soldiers. Dr. Vayrin and Dr. Willton both spent almost all of their money on the project. They hired many people to help.
After much planning and hard work, the transformation chamber was complete. With it, they could transform ordinary humans into human/animal hybrids with amazing powers. Dr. Vayrin and Dr. Willton began using the machine to transform volunteers into the world's new weapon against the robot armies. Psi morphs.
The task before the psi morphs is a daunting one indeed! They are far fewer in number that the robots. Only humans which have two of a certain very rare recessive gene can survive the transformation process and become psi morphs. All efforts to artificially implant the gene into people have failed.
Meanwhile, the robots have found a way to make themselves unaffected by the ionization rays, have found ways to make themselves even more powerful, and are about to resume their attacks against the human race.
What will happen next? What sorts of new weapons will the robots use? What twists and turns will the new war between robots and psi morphs take? Will the psi morphs prevail against the robots? The answers to these questions are for you to discover...
