So I have this idea, to put it a bad way, it's like Escape from Furnace and that one Maximum Ride series put together, but even more sciencey, and with deeper things, not to mention my own style and spin put on it.

To put it a good way, I think it could be a masterpiece, and I'm pretty sure it'll be successful if I get it published. It's a deep, scientifically accurate narrative about life. What is life? What does it mean? Just because you create new life, does it really give you the power to shape it's destiny? Can an artificially created organism have a soul? Do normal organisms have souls? All that good emo philosopher stuff.

An agency that isn't supposed to officially exist, is taking gametes (officially from ideal donators who have no idea where they're going), genetically modifying them, and putting them into artificial wombs to be birthed in a record 7 months. These genetically modified specimens are raised in captivity, basically kept in a luxurious but imprisoning and offputting underground facility where they are fed hypernutritious slop, kept under strict rules and schedules, and taught by private teachers who are meant to skew their views and values to match the agency's (because while you can try, it's impossible to genetically modify beliefs), and if this isn't enough, they are put under further experimentation which definitely results in trauma, and sometimes in death or injury, and some are abused by their "Care Officers". Any rehabilitating injury they get qualifies them for "Release", or as honest people put it, euthanasia, or death. (None of the kids know what release means, until one of them finds out.) The agency's aspirations it create supersoldiers, is what leads these supersoldiers to escape. (I won't tell you exactly how, but one of them manages to weaken the cell door holding a berserk experiment, and they run off in the ensuing chaos.) The next book has them on the run from the agency, exploring the world that they know nothing about, and adjusting to it. Running, hiding, scuffling with the agency's resources, surviving, all that good stuff. The next one has the was between the sides. The agency and it's benefactors, versus the escapees, and their new allies. The government has the CIA and FBI play double agents, but I mean, it's not like the escapees are in a hurry to trust any more government agencies. I won't tell you what happens next, though. The last book (I have to be vague) ends on a bittersweet and vaguely dystopian note, with a whole new world order type thing going on…

Anyway, how is it, what do you think? Do you want me to explain some of the science?

Thanks, but I haven't even gone over how scientifically accurate it is. Here's something to give you an idea.

One of the main escapees has spurs, or extendable and retractable bladelike spikes, as for how they're contained, he has slits of skin in his elbows and knees which are sealed by an adhesive fluid within some secondary sweat glands that he has, this fluid turns to a sticky gel when exposed to oxygen, so basically when his spurs are retracted, he secretes the fluid, and so the adhesive gel both seals the skin flaps and covers the hole where the spurs come in and out and all they have to do to come back out is pierce the gel again. These spurs are controlled by a special muscle and a certain sinew interwoven with tough keratin, which pushes them out, or pulls them in. Furthermore, the spurs themselves are 6" long and an inch wide, not to mention serrated, with a superdense and structurally improved bone base, superdense keratin core, and enamel coating, allowing them to cut through steel. The muscle that pushes the spurs out, or pulls them in, is pound for pound the strongest muscle in his body, and is mostly composed of fast-twitch muscle fibers.

I read the novel series. But I'm a fan of manga, so I'll check that out.
