Summary
In the year 2028 a mysterious artifact was unearthed somewhere in the Middle East. By studying the artifact, world-renowned genetic scientist Dr. Joan Aiken, was able to develop a revolutionary new serum that finally allowed us to unlock the unused portion of the human brain, resulting in a profound effect on humanity.
The first version of Dr. Aiken's serum granted recipients the ability to manifest powerful Psionic energy emissions with their minds. Unfortunately, this power came at a terrible price. Since a fully developed human brain was not capable of adapting to the powerful effects of the serum, the subjects would eventually lose their sanity and completely lose their minds.
Dr. Aiken theorized that if the serum was administered in-utero while the subject's mind was still developing, the recipient would have a better chance of successfully adapting to their Psionic powers. The experiment was almost a complete success. The first two test subjects, aptly named Cain and Abel, were born with Psionic abilities and were much more mentally stable, although they also ran the risk of going insane if they overextended their abilities. The drug was dubbed the Psionic Booster Serum and the subjects who received it were referred to as Psionics for their ability to manipulate this powerful new Psionic energy.
While the advent of the Psionic Booster Serum was widely considered a quantum leap forward in human evolution, there were many who feared these "super humans" would abuse their powers and turn to a life of crime, which would eventually destroy our society.
This fear prompted the government to create the Department of National Psionic Control (DNPC). The purpose of this organization was to deal with the ever-growing threat of renegade Psionic criminals. The DNPC knew the only way to effectively combat these powerful criminals was to employ Psionic agents of their own, so they immediately began recruiting the strongest and most stable Psionics they could find. Because Cain and Abel were the first two successful recipients of Dr. Aiken's in-utero Psionic Booster Serum, they were naturally among the DNPC's top candidates for the position of Psionic Field Agent.
Initially, Cain and Abel worked extremely well together and were both tremendous assets to the force. However, Abel soon became more interested in combating Psionics in the field rather than upholding the law, which eventually resulted in his suspension from the force and subsequent incarceration. Shortly afterward, Abel escaped from the DNPC and fell into a life of crime.
Cain, on the other hand, was committed to insuring the peaceful coexistence of Psionics and humans in our society. And although Cain is currently the best Psionic field agent the DNPC has got, he must learn to control himself if he is to earn the respect and admiration of the people he has sworn to protect.
