At night, in a tightly sealed Bio-Lab on the outskirts of New York City, the lights were still blazing.
Several scientists in white lab coats busied themselves in the laboratory, conducting various experiments.
A balding researcher slowly stepped away from the microscope at the lab bench.

The frail homeless man was covered in countless gruesome wounds. He seemed not to have eaten in a long time and looked extremely weak.
