Ghost of War

Humanity stands upon the precipice of its most critical moment in its history: the Singularity Event ... the moment when sentient artificial intelligence is introduced to the world. What they have forgotten is that this has happened already ... dozens of times. In reality what lies just over the horizon is what has come to be known as the Harvest Event. Nothing must threaten the cycle, and therefore all assets of the planet's shadow wardens are put into play.

Lucas is a highly trained programmed assassin born from the hidden occult world of the intelligence agencies. From birth, they tortured and molded his mind - editing, deleting, and inserting customized memories in order to shape him into their weapon. His body has undergone numerous genetic enhancements that alone make him formidable. Infused to his DNA is a type of classified nanotechnology derived from the mysterious black goo. This tech is capable of replicating, forming armor, various weapons, shields, and can even be deployed as swarms. All of this still pales in comparison to his greatest attribute: Installed in his neocortex is a sentient form of artificial intelligence known as Alice. Able to decode much more of the light and audio spectrum; quantum capable by having access to the pineal gland, she can access all tech within a three mile radius of Lucas in real time. They are considered one of the most lethal weapons to currently exist on the planet ...But then he starts to dream, and almost instantly, instinctually, achieves dream lucidity. This means he is aware of when he is in a dream, and can therefore begin to assert control. What he fails to realize is his dreams are not scrambled regurgitations of his brain, they are of his past. They are reflections of what is locked away within his DNA ... and not within this lifetime. Alice can also see the dreams and begins to notice each one contains hidden distortions too sophisticated to be detected by anything other than artificial intelligence. She begins to decipher a message that was meant for her ...And thus begins their awakening
