Chapter 45. Storm on the Horizon

"Subject 1: Gene marker alpha identified. Reduce acetaldehyde aniline by 0.2 grams!"
"Subject 2: Sigma marker confirmed. Genetic damage at site Beta. Increase sodium phenylalanine compound by 3 grams."
"Subject 5: Gene overlap detected neural tissue is expanding at 30x normal rate. Growth is unstable. Reduce dopamine by 1 milliliter!"
Inside the lab, Nolan's hands moved like a blur across the keyboard eyes locked on the data pouring in from the bio-analyzers.
With his enhanced cognition, he operated faster than any normal human, like a dozen hands working in perfect sync, adjusting calculations, directing procedures, and refining formulas on the fly.
Connors, working next to him, was mixing new batches based on Nolan's rapid-fire instructions, injecting volunteers, and gathering real-time genetic feedback.
Though the serum was reconstructed using data acquired from the military, it was clear that the original accident that mutated Matt Murdock an open chemical spill, exposure to light, oxygen, and unpredictable conditions had triggered something specific.
Nolan's task was to recreate that anomaly.
His gift wasn't random luck. It was precision.
Where the universe rolled dice, he controlled the table.
