C O N C E P T:[/b][/h3][/sup][/sub][/COLOR][/indent][hr][indent][color=gray]In 1984, Autumn Miracle, AKA The Crestwood Ripper, would make her indelible mark upon the public consciousness with a spree of killings across the sleepy New Hampshire town Crestwood Hollow. A short decade later, at the turn of the millennium, the self-styled Prophet and Savior of his own kind, Hyperion, would further wage a dire campaign of domestic terrorism across the American continent. The response from the fledgling Bureau of Hyperhuman Equality, Logistics, and Protection in both incidents was swift and decisive, successfully apprehending the perpetrators and putting a stop to their schemes, mitigating collateral damage as much as possible, and attempting to assuage public concern as the world began to reckon with the single greatest phenomenon of contemporary times: [b]Hyperhumans[/b].

In the three decades that have followed, H.E.L.P. have successfully forged a strong image as a committed and well-regarded instructional, rehabilitative, and benevolent force for continued harmony between humanity and this burgeoning new evolution. Through endeavors such as the Pacific Royal Collegiate & University, co-operation with international governments, and leading cross-continental research into, and education on, Hyperhumanity, H.E.L.P. are now the foremost international authority on Hyperhumans and Hyperhuman; subsequently, many of the world's governments consult with, or entirely defer to, the Bureau in matters concerning Hyperhumans - particularly when it comes to criminal, or otherwise dangerous or high-profile individuals.

With both indicted and convicted Hyperhumans often remanded into H.E.L.P. custody - and additional programs in place around the globe for voluntary submission into the Bureau's guardianship - there is, of course, a need for facilities wherein to house these individuals. Thus came to be H.E.L.P. Detainment & Rehabilitation Centers; based off the blueprints for the Bureau's notorious 'Black Site', a combined research/detention facility on Zayas Island near H.E.L.P. Alpha Base off the Canadian coast, the Centers were new facilities constructed with a more rehabilitative purpose in mind, but still with the capability of containing the more volatile residents. 

It is to these Centers that those under H.E.L.P.s care are transported; via land, air, and sea, each arrives, gets processed, and begins their next chapter under the Bureau's careful supervision.

P R E M I S E:[/b][/h3][/sup][/sub][/COLOR][/indent][hr][indent][color=gray]Thirty years on from Hyperion's terrorist campaign, the Bureau of Hyperhuman Equality, Logistics, and Protection has successfully repaired their image and that of Hyperhumans world-wide, growing to become the foremost authority on Humanity's next great step, known across the globe for their world-leading research and education programmes, as well as their academy, P.R.C.U., and global presence as a calm and level-headed mediator in Hyperhuman-related affairs. With the world's governments trusting their counsel, they have in recent years become the custodians of certain criminal or otherwise dangerous individuals, utilizing their Detainment & Rehabilitation Centers to great success in helping anti-social Hyperhumans pave their way back to a fulfilled and purposeful life - whether back amongst the public, or within the Bureau's myriad branches and departments itself. 

There are, of course, still those who believe [i]all[/i] Hyperhumans should be segregated from the general masses, and further still those who would see this new branch of Mankind's future pruned entirely and wiped from the genetic record. H.E.L.P. is no stranger to these adversaries, but they are no stranger to safeguarding themselves or their wards either. 

So when a routine Albatross convoy transporting fresh intake detainees to one of H.E.L.P.s Centers is shot down unexpectedly several miles off the northern coast of Canada, a four-way struggle swiftly ensues: H.E.L.P. trying to find the surviving escapees and remand them back into the Bureau's custody; the underground cell responsible for the attack seeking to finalize their work; the survivors themselves, now forced to forage and fend for themselves amidst the hostile northern Canadian wilderness while fleeing their pursuers; and an altogether different entity, something dark and ancient and evil, roused from a slumber the old world had hoped would never be broken, stalking those responsible for its disturbed rest.
