planet, he postulated) that humans didn’t fly. They didn’t do any of the things that this boy was supposedly able to do. Even so, it wasn’t long until theories started populating his mind.
    “Huh,” he grunted to himself, inaudible to the rest of the passengers. “What the hell is going on?”
    He struggled with how he was going to brief his team on their mission. His orders were clear; capture the youth, alive if possible. He knew his men were logical, dedicated, and organized. However this mission was different than any other they’d ever embarked on before. Nearly everything but the identity of the target was unknown. Worse, the details read like something out of a comic book.
    The first time he saw Test Davis in person was the night that he’d come to rescue his friend, Clifford Johnston, from the armory in Lincoln. It was then that he learned that none of this was fairy tale—it was all reality. He lost several men to Davis—good men. Though it wasn’t the first time he’d lost a soldier, it was the first time that he’d failed to apprehend the target. He then made it his life’s mission to either capture, or kill, this creature named Test. He couldn’t live with theories of what he was. He had to know the truth. He had to form a new axiom.
    Dawson’s next opportunity wouldn’t come until a year later. After losing him in Lincoln, he scoured the country and kept an eye on the world, waiting for the boy (or whatever he was) to resurface. Finally, the day came when his attention was drawn to Wisconsin. It was there that he’d achieved his greatest feat in capturing Test. Not only was he able to capture him alive, but he was able to restrain him so that tests could be run. He was finally going to know what this boy was.
    Though nothing of what had become truth seemed logical, his first theory was that Test was an alien. He found it hard for himself to even speak of his theory, but what else could it be?
    He waited and watched as the old Russian scientist , Professor Gusyeva, studied and watched the results of countless tests performed on their subject’s body. When the DNA results came back as human, Dawson became enraged. It just wasn’t possible and he couldn’t force his mind to accept anything otherwise. It wasn’t until the scientist’s explanation of how Davis’s genetic code being in error caused his powers that he suddenly felt differently.
    Learning that Test Davis was human created what Dawson saw as the most unique and powerful situation ever imagined. He saw Davis as an opportunity—an opportunity to spearhead the creation of the most dangerous weapon the world could possibly imagine. Things were not to go completely as planned, however, as Test revealed a previously unknown power.
    The security footage from the day Davis escaped showed the subject releasing a massive amount of energy from his core. Moments later, with a blinding flash of light, the screen went blank. When the picture returned, Davis was gone. No doors were opened, no wall destroyed; it was as though he had just walked through them. It was due to this power that the project had become known as “Project Ghost”.
    While the escape was a black eye on Dawson’s record, his scientist had enough genetic material to proceed with attempting to clone a “ghost”. The science had been around for decades, and though the world didn’t know it, human clones had been made dozens of times within the last five years by the United States alone. It was a fact that the global community could never know. It was also a fact that, once Dawson’s superiors learned of the potential of Project Ghost, they had handed control over eagerly. Dawson and his team were given everything that they requested. Every resource was at their disposal.
    His soldiers had been reassigned along with him , each of them granted position in the most secretive and covert unit the military had ever known. Their mission was solitary and defined: locate Test
