Negaccessverse - Ms. Jessica, Bad Science
🕑 Added 2021-05-08 20:04:41 +0000 UTCJessica Park graduated as one of Port Solei University’s most awarded scholars in biology. Her research revolutionized the way we think of mutants and mutations and pushed the general study of mutant medicine and mutagen ahead by leaps and bounds.
However, no amount of intelligence could prepare her for the cold and harsh real world. Many countries still looked at mutants as second grade citizens and thus had no room in their budget for mutant studies. While she had a profitable teaching position at her Alma Mater, she constantly asked the university for more funding for her own personal research. While her work was valuable, her demands were extreme, pushing beyond the boundaries of normal science into pseudo-science. She swore she could unlock the “power of the double helix” with mutagen, able to eliminate disease, turn us super human, let us mutate at will, as long as she had the latest samples of experimental and exotic substances, chemical recombinant vats, heavy radiation emitters, and of course, human test subjects.
Eventually, her private studies were unearthed by the university, and she was terminated. Enraged, she lit the entire biology lab on fire, making her an enemy of the law. Now on the run, she could do nothing but lay low and hope to avoid the police.
That’s when the mafia found her. You see, they had the resources needed to get her the equipment she wanted, allowing her to perform whatever experiments she could cook up in her demented little head, and they certainly did not have the moral barricades her old university did. All she had to do was share her findings with the family.
She didn’t care. She had a need for science. A passion. Perhaps, you might also say, a fetish. She needed to tinker with the human genome. She needed to watch people mutate in front of her when exposed to her many mutagens. She wanted to create the most extreme mutants possible, far outside the imaginations of her small minded peers.
And besides, the money was good, the life was comfortable, and becoming the mob’s trusted scientist does give you a bit of a confidence boost. Who cares if a few humans get hurt along the way?
