Chapter 115. Steel Physiology Recapture, Begin!

The assistants, all handpicked for their proficiency, looked toward Jason, who stood by the console. He nodded and spoke, "This experiment is being led by Dr. Nolan. Every order given by him must be followed without question!"
"Understood!" the assistants replied in unison.
"Bring the test subjects forward," Nolan instructed.
He had already taken his position at the central control panel. His fingers flew across the keyboard as he pulled up the data on Luke Cage.
Luke's experiment, Nolan recalled, was originally a replication of the Super Soldier Serum a formula designed to enhance human strength and durability. However, things had taken a dangerous turn when a man named Billy interrupted the experiment, causing it to undergo an unexpected mutation.
The experiment had been tightly controlled, but as with any scientific endeavor, variables could tip the scales into chaos.
Nolan watched the video footage of that fateful day. Billy had tried to sabotage the injection, but he was promptly removed before any real damage could be done.

Nolan glanced back at the footage, where Billy was shouting in anger, and then pointed at the screen. "Do you think sound waves could have been a variable here?"
