Vehemence

The Villains have won. Our Heroes are dead. A world ruled by a global government, at war, even within itself. Controlled by a merciless A.I., enforced by terrifying mechs, and advanced cybernetics. While the majority of the population live under constant surveillance and are content to dwell in compliance. Those who are not willing to live as sheepeople have gone to the “underground” a chaos driven realm on the edge of society where crime syndicates, warlords, and marauders are a part of life. The only law there is survival. In this world, Intelligence battles are waged, but the enemy is always a step ahead. A never-ending Algorithmic Armageddon. All the while the government continues advancing their agenda through experimentations in gene splicing and DNA manipulation have created “mutations” causing superpowers to manifest in some test subjects. Surviving test subjects that remain human are called “Unspokens”, those who aren’t human are designated as “Deviations” or liquidated. Enter: Derrick Johnson a teen who woke up from a coma and found himself infused with an alien bio-weapon. Amazingly Derrick finds he is empowered to manipulate any matter he comes into contact with, what isn’t so cool is everyone gunning for his head. In a world long eclipsed by shadow and void of hope, he is the X-factor. And if he can live long enough, he may be able to save humanity from extinction. He is Vehemence!
