Bellflower Associates

**The Bellflower Associates** is a world renowned, multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical company that has its interests in furthering medicinal as well as healthcare industries worldwide. They also act as a sort of armed forces-supportive conglomerate that expresses its interests in gaining contracts with the military, although for what reason is unknown, at least to the public.

## Characteristics

Bellflower Associates is a rather inhumane and even morally indifferent/degenerated organization that has a single goal: to infiltrate the militaries of most of the world’s major countries (regional and superpowers alike) such as Russia, China, America, Germany and India, use their genetically enhanced superhumans to either deteriorate or empower (though they give the facade of merely empowering) their capabilities from the inside (this depends entirely on their political relationships with the U.S., as such, they might empower Germany, but deteriorate or sabotage China’s or Russia’s military). Being an American company, the military of the United States already is “pumped to the brim” with these superhumans that take on the role of maintaining the superpower status that the U.S. has by less than ethical means. This would either be via intelligence and cyberwarfare/hacking or by conventional wars (although the former is far, far more likely due to the enhanced humans’ rarity and therefore difficulty to replace).

Countries affiliated with the Bellflower Associates includes:

* United States of America
* Federal Republic of Germany
* Russian Federation
* People's Republic of China
* Republic of India
* Democratic People's Republic of Korea (privately)
* Republic of Korea (South Korea)
* United Mexican States (Mexico)
* Federative Republic of Brazil
* Japan
* French Republic

## Subjects

Test Subjects are usually made via intrauterine insemination in which the sperm was beforehand modified on the cellular level before being inserted into an unknown female’s womb. The information of the modification would then be classified and stored, as it would determine what the subject’s powers/abilities are. Certain chemicals and serums are used for different abilities, which gives clarity on what they will be beforehand and the type of training that would be given to said subject. For example, a chemical named Viscar X gives the injected sperm the cells necessary to develop superhuman strength and durability in a test subject (although it should be noted that all subjects are given this chemical, and an entirely different one gives strength and durability to extreme levels), whereas Sirvin gives the injected sperm the cells/mutations necessary to develop oxygen independence (or at least a lesser degree of need depending on the concentration). After birth, the ‘mothers’ are either killed or employed, depending on the decision of the higher-ups, and the womens’ cooperation. If a lady that recently gives birth to a test subject wants to either keep the child or makes any sort of fuss or resistance, then she would be given a lethal injection right away. Whereas if the woman heeds the organizations’ rules, orders and such, they might give her a job, if she accepts. If she declines, she will also be dispatched in a similar fashion (unknowingly to her, of course). In both cases, their existence as an organization that does illegal things such as this should never be known, which is why they conduct themselves the way they do in this manner. No one (except those directly affiliated) should know of the ‘underground’ of Bellflower Associates, and if anyone does, then he or she shall be eliminated in the fastest way possible. The test subjects are then kept under constant surveillance and fed at planned intervals everyday until the age of 7, as of such, their training begins shortly after their seventh birthday. The training of each subject varies depending on whomever they choose. A weaker subject would be exposed or forced to comply with intense conditions, but not nearly as intense as a stronger one. A wall-level subject wouldn’t be forced to comply with tests that are as rigorous as one at small-building level, and so on and so forth. This is, once again, to avoid any sort of unneeded injury or damage done to the subjects due to their difficulty to create.

## Ethics

Punishments and the like also exists for subjects, as failure to comply would result in isolation-torture, in which they would be locked away in a small, claustrophobia-inducing room with no windows, an incredibly dense door that proves impossible to open with anything short of nuclear intervention and no lights. Rations and water would be set in the room along with the rowdy or uncooperative test subject for as long as their ‘sentence’ (which can range from 16 hours to 180) would be via a small slot, barely wide enough to stick a forearm through. Punishments such as these are considered light by the affiliation. Even more punishments are in place, but the vast majority of them are far too morally degraded to even be recalled in any fashion at all, but they might use:

* acidic chemicals, gasses or liquids
* immense cold or heat
* pain-inducing injections, etc.

to inflict suffering beyond what can be considered imaginable. The goal here would be to break the mentally growing children/young teenagers and remodel them to be completely subservient to the affiliation alone. Repeated rebellions and uprisings or attempted escapes, though rare, can result in the death of a subject, depending on their penetrability as well as usefulness. A subject with standard superhuman strength and durability (made with the intent of being a typical super soldier) can be exterminated for repeated rebellions, whereas someone with the power to create lightning or manipulate any other sort of natural element might be spared death in exchange for a stricter reprimand. All of these are trumped if a subject manages to escape, in which an armed force is tasked with either killing or recapturing the escapee. Failure to find the escapee in under 2 days would result in the termination of the subject being mandatory and by any costs, with civilian casualties being ignored (should it go that far).
