We are all told at some point in our lives, that we are special. Unique. One of a kind. The fact is reiterated to us again in a science class - our DNA is a unique combination of our parents and the odds of having someone with identical DNA - who is not a twin - is incalculable. But for 24 individuals, the concept of being a one of a kind is a lie. For 21 years ago, an organization hidden within the upper echelons of the American government convinced a group of scientists to take part in an experiment that could change the world.
The scientists gladly took part and their experiments proved fruitful when 24 subjects were created. But then one scientist discovered the reason the subjects were to be created and the group, horrified, decided that the innocent infants they had created could not be used for the desired purpose and spirited them away to be adopted in separate corners of the country, never to meet. They then destroyed the evidence of the project and destroyed the lab. That, they figured, would be the end of it.
But it wasn't. The Organization soon learned that the subjects weren't as dead they had been led to believe. They hadn't given up on their goals and were determined to get the subjects back in their hands and carry out their original plan. But it would take time. So a new experiment was begun to aid in the reclaiming of their lost property. They could be patient if it served their purpose, but they would not be so trusting of those in their employ.
21 years have passed since the first experiment and 18 years since the second. Though the scientists of the original project had hoped that the 24 subjects would never meet or be in danger, this hope may soon be dashed. For though new arrivals appear on college campuses every year, this year it is a different sight at four of the country's most prestigious East Coast locations. Instead of being sent off with reminders to phone home, do well and stay out of trouble, a group of hardened teens are being told to be wary, assimilate and never lose track of their mission.
The 2010-2011 academic year should be interesting indeed. 24 targets, 24 seekers and all the distractions of college life. Freedom and success hang in the balance. But who will be free and who will succeed? Perhaps when it comes to playing God, it would have been wise that we Do Not Attempt.
