Liberty Coalition Army 2nd Lieutenant Nathan Frost has
been transformed. There was that last searing blast from
the bomb, an excruciating gurney ride into the surgery
unit — Frost wondering if he even had a face left —
some strange talk about BP, pulse and … scarecrows?

Now he is alert, standing, disoriented a little,but
stronger than before.A sense of extreme power is
coursing through him and he sees apprehension
in the eyes of all who pass.

Frost has been transformed into the prototype.
He is the first-born in a top secret program to create
a bio-augmented super-soldier.

Now that joke about a one-man army is true...
