Project Lamia

Project Lamia was a weapon development program operated by the German government between 1940 and 1945. The project was headed by German Scientist and pediatrician Dr. Kinder. Throughout the duration of the program, Project Lamia was responsible for the creation and training of over 30 elite solders, most of which perished during the duration of the program. These soldiers were subjected to rigorous trials including combat, interrogation, covert ops, intelligence, counter-intelligence and guerilla warfare tactics.

## Notable project subjects

* [MBOY] also known as 'MB' and 'Momma's Boy' - location unknown.
* [MBIG] also known as 'Big Boy' - missing in action.
* [BOOM] also known as 'Boom Boy' - deceased.
* [MBRIE] also known as 'Cheese Boy' - decheesed.
* [RBOY] also known as 'Rat Boy'. - last seen in the New York subway.

## Project timeline

### Project founding - Fall 1940

Project Lamia's inception was birthed over a dinner between Dr. Kinder and German high command. Dr. Kinder's coat was covered with contaminants from his lab. When Kinder's soup was brought to the table, he left bio-matter on the lid after serving himself. That organic matter seeped into the soup pot and a hyper-chemical reaction occurred over the next 40 minutes that created organic life within the pot. Within seconds of the chemical reaction, screams were heard coming from within the pot. Alarmed, a German officer pulled the lid off revealing a grotesque face screeching at the dinner guests. The lifeform's genetic makeup was able to survive in this environment and soon perished at the table. After the incident Dr. Kinder extracted a culture sample and would go on to use this research as the foundation for Project Lamia.

### Trials begin - Summer 1941

Dr. Kinder received a grant from government on the condition that if possible, future lifeforms must have longevity, and eventually be used for military purposes. Trials began with almost immediate success and the first lifeform was birthed, designated [MBIG]. [MBIG] quickly formed a consciousness and within the first couple weeks was able to read and write at an elementary level. Dr. Kinder started to accelerate the experimentation, soon bringing two more lifeforms into being, [BOOM] and [MBOY].

### Growth and expansion - Fall 1941

Due to the success of the program, Dr. Kinder was granted with a large amount of additional funding, and started preparing the subjects for military training. Kinder noted that the subjects adapted incredibly fast independently, but would often fall to infighting and hostilities amongst themselves, especially between [MBIG] and [MBOY]. As the first generation of subjects were completed, Kinder started to look into cloning and replication of the subjects.

### Peak and rising hostilities - Winter 1942

By the end of 1941 the project had produced over 20 successful experiments. However the subjects had been forming tribal-like tendencies, killing off the weak amongst them and performing ritual like sacrifices. It was at this time where [MBRIE] was last seen walking into the cafeteria followed by [RBOY]. Two cliques formed within the pool of subjects, those that were loyal to [MBOY] / [BOOM], and those under the leadership of [MBIG].

### Stagnation - Spring 1943

By Early 1943 no new experiments were being created. All new lifeforms would be killed off by existing subjects. Training for subjects continued, as the military moved into covert operations and intelligence. All subjects were combat trained with firearms, explosives, and artillery. However it was very difficult for many to survive outside of the laboratory environment, therefore field operations were postponed.

### Decline - Fall 1944

With the Allied invasion of Europe, more funds were being allocated to different partitions of the German war effort. Lamia funding was cut in half due to the lack of output in field operations. At this time not even a quarter of the subject were able to survive outside of the laboratory grounds.

### Crash - Spring 1945

The invasion of Berlin halted all Lamia operations. German high command ordered all subject to engage the invading forces. Many died almost immediately after being exposed to an uncontained environment.
