REPORT 17-ALPHA
- - A VANGUARD: HELM REPORT COMPILATION
- - Compilation Authorized by Dark Watcher
- - Scientific Consultation by Steven Sheridan, AKA 'Doctor Science'
ABSTRACT
This report details information found at the ruins of a safe house managed by The Malta Group discovered in the ruins of Galaxy City. In particular, the following report describes one operative – a Gunslinger designated ‘Ursa Major 117’ – and their extensive genetic modifications.
INTRODUCTION
During a Longbow sweep of the Galaxy City Exclusion Zone’s Nebula District, an abandoned Malta safehouse were found, the base of a Tactical Operations Group codenamed GARM. HELM analysts believe that this was an observation post, intended to safely monitor new 'Capes' as they were introduced to the various administrative organs of the FBSA, and away from more heavily trafficked areas like Peregrine Island. Along with other items, the following reports were discovered, concerning one of the operatives – a Gunslinger designated Ursa Major-117.
Based on the data in these reports, HELM analysts believe that Ursa Major-117 is the same individual saved by a Malta Group covert ops team in Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation HELM analysts have concluded this event to be an assassination attempt, which did succeed in killing the subject’s parents and younger brother. HELM analysis believes this attempt was in connection with Russia's Operation Red Star super soldier program. Though some believe this to be an indicator that the subject was, in fact, an escapee from Operation Red Star, there are also factors which have cast doubt on this belief (these theories will be detailed further below).
While the Malta reports goes into a great deal of detail concerning Ursa Major-117’s background, how he entered service and so forth, those aspects of the report compilation have been removed per direct command of Dark Watcher. This report focuses on the topic of how the Gunslinger’s abilities were significantly augmented by extremely advanced genetic manipulation and resequencing.
- NOTE: The Operation Red Star super soldier program will be made available in a separate report.
- NOTE 2: The individual has been positively identified as Aleksey Nikolayev Rumyansev.
- NOTE 3: The ConspiracyLinks/Kholat Sakyl video dump analysis will be made available in separate reports.
A SUPER-POWER PILL?
As stated earlier, it is important to note that Malta’s standard operational procedure relies on superior training and technology in its’ Operatives, rather than actual ‘superpowers’ – however, there are known ‘Supers’ who work for the organization, and Ursa Major-117 was apparently one of them.
There is some indication from the gathered data that these reports were surreptitiously gathered by Tac Ops Commander [NAME REDACTED] and sent to a secure online drop box based out of a rotating series of virtual machines and ‘burner’ servers. Why was he keeping backup records? That is not yet clear. HELM Analysis believe that the Malta Group Directors had taken a keen interest in Ursa Major-117’s mutations, far more so than long-term Augmented operators like Moment and their shapeshifting abilities.
This heightened interest in Ursa Major-117’s genetic modifications, particularly the ‘Superparticle X’ monomolecular particle has led some in HELM Analysis to postulate a theory that the Malta Directors wished to reverse-engineer the Superparticle, possibly speaking to a plan of creating a ‘super serum’ which could then be controlled by the Malta Group exclusively and given to its’ operatives to grant a temporary boost in abilities. Long term goals might have included a version of this serum that would have created stable, permanent alterations to a subject’s genome, allowing for super-powered abilities to manifest.
Now certainly, both Paragon City and the Rogue Isles are littered with the shattered remnants of such programs – the Superdyne addicted Trolls, the Infected, the Freakshow, and so on. Whether this concept could ever maturate to fruition – without negative effects on the Operatives – is unknown and bears watching.
