In the shadowed recesses of Los Angeles, where the neon lights flicker with the pulse of a city that never sleeps, the Vera family embodied a life of art and intellect that was as vibrant as it was complex. Avraham (Av) and Emanuella (Ev) Vera, products of a generation that believed in the power of destiny yet ignorant of the strings that pulled them, lived lives that mirrored the duality of their city—vivid by day, enigmatic by night.
Av, once a minister, had found his second calling in the halls of academia and the vibrant energy of rock music. By day, he delved into the philosophical depths at as a professor of phillosophy, sparking young minds to question the moral compass of society. By night, he strummed his guitar, sending waves of melodic rebellion down the Sunset Strip, his lyrics a call to the wild hearts trapped in the mundane.
Parallel to him, Em painted worlds of vivid color and emotion on canvas, her days filled with strokes that spoke of deep-rooted passions and quiet despair. By night, her art transformed skin into canvases at a local tattoo parlor, where the hum of the needle and the scent of ink were her solace.
Their lives were a symphony of art and disguise, a deliberate cadence set by unseen conductors from the NASI VAIL. Their marriage, seemingly a product of fate, was a meticulously crafted arrangement by masters of social engineering under the guise of the Human Enhancement and Reproduction (HER) program—a eugenic matchmaking that believed in optimizing human potential through controlled genetics.
Av and Em had been unwitting participants in a grander scheme orchestrated by their fathers, two NASI officers, whose friendship had been forged under the brotherhood of Enlightenment. Their families had been brought together not by chance but by design, with NASI operatives subtly guiding their interactions to ensure a genetic match that would produce offspring capable of exceptional artistic and intellectualism.
Su and her twin sister, Ora, were the living embodiments of this genetic idealism. Born into a world rich with music, art, and academic rigor, they exhibited talents that transcended the ordinary. Su, with her affinity for mathematics, science, music, and poetry, and Addy, a painter whose works were spiritually profound and globally acclaimed, were paradoxes much like their parents—deeply connected yet perpetually distant.
As the twins matured, the fabric of their family began to fray. Av and Em, driven by a compulsion embedded deep within their programmed lives, found themselves increasingly absent. The relentless pursuit of their careers was not a chase for financial security but a subconscious flight from a union that had served its purpose—raising a new generation for the HER program.
Amid the burgeoning realization of her orchestrated existence, Su grappled with feelings of alienation and a profound sense of being misunderstood. Her exceptional abilities, which drew admiration and envy alike, became both a shield and a burden. As she navigated her path, the haunting awareness of her family's legacy—a legacy mired in manipulation and genetic programming—loomed large.
The revelation of her family’s role in a broader eugenic experiment, cloaked under the auspices of advancing human potential, challenged Su's understanding of freedom and predestination. As she delved deeper into the mystery of her own origins, the line between her scientific curiosity and her personal quest for identity blurred. The discovery of her parents' roles not as architects of their own lives but as pawns in a grander scheme fueled Su's resolve to break free from the invisible chains that bound her.
Driven by a relentless quest for truth and a determination to redefine her destiny, Su stood at the precipice of a journey that would not only unravel the secrets and of her past but also challenge the very foundations of the NASI and its manipulation of humanity's genetic heritage. In the heart of the academic world she once revered, Su would ignite a revolution—a fight not just for her own soul, but for the soul of a society ensnared by its own creations.
