The Evolved: Prologue

In a quiet darkened room beneath a towering sky scraper a group of middle aged men and women were gathered. They sat in silence as a grey haired man in a lab coat came to stand behind the podium at the room's front. 
"Thank you for joining me ladies and gentlemen. You have all been summoned to this briefing in order to be brought up to speed on a particular discovery made here in the R&D department of Dynasty Multinational." He pressed a button on the podium and the screen behind him lit up showing an image a piece a bloody looking tissue. "The discovery, which we are dubbing 'The Quantum Lobe', was discovered in a young patient in one of our medical research programmes. The patient died of an unrelated annurism and per his wishes his body was donated to us for research to prevent his disease. However during his autopsy this lobe in his brain was discovered. A completely abnormal growth, but it seemed to be functional." The man pressed the button again and the image changed. It showed a room which had suffered a devastating explosion. "During a biopsy of the lobe we discovered it had incredible energy producing properties. So much so it caused a lab explosion and destroyed our sample. After this incident we made it standard procedure to look for such a growth. We found that a lot of children under a certain age possessed the lobe. Naturally we acquired another sample and performed some tests." He pressed the button and a graph appeared on the screen. "As you can see here the energy produced is incredible and it is drawn from the surrounding background energy of the universe on a quantum level. Simply put the energy can be virtually limitless. So now we need your cooperation, get us what we need for this project and Dynasty Multinational will be the biggest name in energy, weapons, medicine and finance for the next 50 years at least."
The room stood up and applauded, whilst their minds plotted. Legal means would only slow them down, all their hearts desire was power and the money that came with it.
