Alpha

A pure cyborg made by Laboratory 1718. Tasked with hunting down and slaying Saber by its creator, Alpha's burning hatred for Saber makes him a candidate for the role. The birth of human life is usually a matter that marks hope. Yet to the artificial life created by Laboratory 1718, what lay behind their inception was little more than evil conspiracy and murder, with no blessings nor joy. And the pure cyborg Alpha is the extreme form of the blasphemy to life forged by Laboratory 1718. Fifty years ago, as a result of his divergence in ideas regarding human experimentation, the great scientist Dr. Baker split off from Eruditio. Fueled by dreams of human augmentation as a means to advance the human race, he founded Laboratory 1718 upon an island. As far as he was concerned, while he and his Laboratory may have parted from Eruditio, their ultimate goals were the same: to bring about a prosperous future for the human race. Yet what he had never expected was that the joining of additional mad scientists to his Laboratory team would lead to a gradual loss of control. In the end the wildly idealistic scientist was stabbed in the back by his colleague, Professor Giraad, and the fanatical scientism believer stole from him all control over Laboratory 1718. Yet his prestige and appeal paled in comparison to Dr. Baker, the Laboratory’s founder. There began a conflict of interest with many parties of differing ideas. Octavius was another scientist driven out of Eruditio, and different to the others who obsessed over human and biological experimentation, he had a greater goal: to create a human comprised entirely of mechanical materials with a conscious mind of their own. He proposed the ‘Alpha-Beta’ project, a plan in which a set of superpowered twins would be created – Alpha, and Beta. Yet those higher up in Laboratory 1718 were disinterested in such ideas, and Octavius’ project was dismissed by all. However, he continued to wait patiently, until his opportunity presented itself. Until that day finally came, Octavius was almost brought to complete destruction. On that deep night, the augmented human Saber could bear no longer the torment of the system that manipulated in his nervous system. He laid waste to a huge portion of Laboratory 1718 and fled, Octavius’ own Laboratory not spared in the chaos. A huge amount of costly scientific apparatus were damaged, and Beta who was still in development completely destroyed. Only Alpha, yet to be installed in a body of his own, was left unaffected. Almost the entirety of Octavius’ countless years of sweat and toil has gone up in flames. Rushing onto the scene, Octavius howled in laughter – all around assuming him to have finally given in to insanity. Yet only he knew that a brighter dawn was yet to come. Saber's chaotic escaped had spelled disaster for the plan for ‘human weapons’. These were the experiments that Professor Giraad had presided over, the most important of Laboratory 1718’s projects. Those scientists, boi
