The Ambrosia Project

The Ambrosia Project is a CIA experiment conducted at the North Dakota Black Site. The goal of the experiment is to create a super-soldier by replacing the spinal fluid in the test subject's body with an experimental chemical compound. The chemical compound is based on a molecular structure seen by Claire Madison in an Omphalos vision. Unfortunately, Claire has difficulty remembering the exact structure of the molecule from the vision due to it's complexity. Under hypnosis, she attempts to describe the molecule to Alan Crenshaw who synthesizes a series of chemicals based on her description and tests them on rats. After they find a version of the compound that doesn't instantly kill the rats, they begin to test it on humans. Each time a human subject is killed, Alan tweaks the chemical compound slightly and tries again on a new subject. Finally, after two more sessions with a hypnotized Claire, Alan is able to synthesize a version of the compound that doesn't kill the human test subject, (Subject 93). The subject does develop superhuman abilities as hoped, but his behavior becomes increasingly erratic and he ultimately becomes homicidal.
