+ | <blockquote><i>So many of my contemporaries seem obsessed with using this new breed of mind-altering chemicals to seek transcendental enlightenment. So few of them see the true path. They are apes poking at reality with crude hunting sticks. The method is sound, but the tools are lacking. I have searched for the perfect hunting stick, but that was a fool's endeavor. My solution? It's time to build a <b>spear</b>.</i><br> | ||
+ | :—Excerpt from <i>Luminosynthesis</i>, Scylla Syban (Dr. Priscilla Szibán), 1971</blockquote> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | :Unbeknownst to him, Mr. Fifth is not the only entity in this plane of existence to have been born out of the Rune Rock Incident. For twenty years, Dr. Priscilla Szibán chased after the elusive psychedelic chemical that could unlock the doorway to the five-dimensional Oververse. By the time she finally created it, she was so lost in fever dreams of making contact with the other side that she didn't care how many lives she destroyed on the path to ultimate discovery.<br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | : When Vincent Viridian died, Dr. Szibán and the rest of Site V died with him. But the hyper-event had a strange effect on the facility's entire supply of Luminescium, altering it at a molecular level. Priscilla was splashed with this altered chemical during her final moments, and it crept into her central nervous system, catalyzing a biological transformation that defied every contemporary human understanding of the nature of life. Like Vincent, Priscilla was resurrected. Also like the hapless test subject, she was reborn as something very different. This new creature began to think of itself as <b>Scylla Syban</b>, a pen name her former identity had utilized for several of her books.<br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | :Syban exudes an aura of psychedelic horror. Her very presence induces hallucinogenic effects within the minds of her victims. She is the walking personification of a bad trip. Her state of undeath is maintained only by constant exposure to Aphoticium—the twisted derivative of Luminescium that gave birth to her. With Site V's chemical supply irrevocably mutated, and her mind cracked by insanity, the original Luminescium formula is all but lost. For the past thirty years, Syban has struggled to reverse engineer it from the second generation derivative, but has been met by failure after failure. Many of these "failures" have earned varying levels of popularity in the illicit drug market, and all are now listed as Schedule I Controlled Substances.<br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | :Scylla Syban will not rest until she has rediscovered her precious Luminescium, and there is only one remaining source of it in the known world. Beyond that, her objectives remain a mystery. | ||

+ | <blockquote><i>Everyone seems to think that they're special, but I've got news for you. You aren't. No one is. I've been inside a hundred heads, and at the end of the day? They all basically look alike. Human beings are no more than animals pretending that they're not. There are thus only two types of minds in this world: predators and prey. So tell me, Vincent, which one are you?</i><br> | ||
+ | :—Lieutenant Malcolm Mendel, 1983<br></blockquote> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | :As his name suggests, <b>Major Mental</b> is probably the former Lieutenant Malcolm Mendel, psychic adjutant to Dr. Priscilla Szibán and the man responsible for identifying latent psionics within Project Boron's pool of volunteers. None can be absolutely certain, however, as to Major Mental's original identity, nor is it known—if he truly <i>is</i> Mendel—how the lieutenant survived the Rune Rock Incident.<br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | :Details about Lt. Mendel himself are almost as hard to come by. The majority of his service record was mysteriously destroyed years ago, and most of that which survived remains classified. His father was an agent in the CIA's Scientific Intelligence Division, and is believed to have been involved in Project MKUltra in the 1950s. Although Mendel similarly began as a CIA agent in the early 1970s, he was transferred to an unidentified agency after his psychic abilities were discovered. From there, details are almost nonexistent. An apparent loose connection to Senator Scott Siemens led to Mendel's assignment to Project Boron, but the origin and nature of that connection remain unknown.<br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | :Major Mental is an equally mysterious figure. Equipped with a stolen psionic enhancement cap, which amplifies his already potent abilities, the monstrous metahuman is believed to be in the employ of Scylla Syban. Like his employer, he seems completely insane, and perhaps even beyond Syban's limits. It has been speculated that the self-proclaimed "major" assists his crazed master in brainwashing the hapless ex-convicts and degenerates she uses to fill out the ranks of her Psychedelic Army. His greater purpose in her organization, if any, is as inscrutable as the rest of his identity.<br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | ==<font face="impact" color="white"><blockquote><i>SENATOR SIMIAN</i></blockquote></font>== | ||
+ | <blockquote><i>You don't need the people's trust. You just need to tell them what they want to hear. I'll tell you what they really want: someone to hold their leashes. Thanks to Doc D's little stunt back in '84, no one even remembers the Rune Rock Incident. It was barely a blip on the public radar. I'll be back. Hell ... gimme ten years, and I'll be sitting in the highest office of the land. Just you wait and see.</i><br> | ||
+ | :—Scott Siemens, 1990<br></blockquote> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | :Scott Siemens was always destined for politics. He grew up going to all the right schools, learning all the right axioms, and repeating all the right platitudes. Like most politicians, Siemens's (ghostwritten) memoirs insisted that he grew up in relative poverty, that everything he earned was gained through struggle and hardship, and—also like most politicians—this was a baldfaced lie. Throughout his life, Scott Siemens was spoiled rotten, and the towering, beastly man was little more than a bully in a fancy suit.<br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | :After becoming a senator, Siemens's lust for power was far from sated. While searching for literature to help fuel the War on Drugs (of which he was a great proponent), he stumbled upon Dr. Szibán's work, and instead became intrigued by her theory of making contact with a five-dimensional life-form. Visions of announcing such a discovery to the world lit a fire in Siemens's imagination. If the US could get to the fifth dimension before the Soviets, it might even guarantee his shot at a bid for the presidency. It was thus that Siemens contacted Priscilla Szibán and began surreptitiously funding Project Boron on the taxpayer's dime.<br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | :In the wake of the Rune Rock Incident, Siemens's connection to Project Boron was made public, and he was expelled from the senate for his misappropriation of federal funds. In a just world, the senator's political career would have ended there, but he knew that the public had a short attention span. When the world's greatest supervillain highjacked the minds of the entire planet later that year, the Rune Rock Incident was all but forgotten. By 1992, he had become a key aid in Clinton's presidential campaign, and had his greedy eyes on a cushy position in the president-elect's cabinet.<br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | :But Scylla Syban wasn't going to let Siemens get away with it. She blamed him for all that had gone wrong at Project Boron, and dispatched Major Mental to abduct the former senator. For the next few months, Syban kept Siemens locked in a sensory deprivation chamber and fed him copious doses of psychedelic drugs. When he finally emerged, the politician had been physically transformed by an inexplicable process of biological devolution. Syban dubbed the mutated creature "<b>Senator Simian</b>."<br> | ||
+ | <br> | ||
+ | :Today, Senator Simian ape-like visage is the most prominent face of Scylla Syban's illicit operations. Whether making deals with black market proprietors, seeking assistance from fellow supervillains, or giving speeches to bring in new recruits to the Psychedelic Army, the smooth-talking beast is Syban's primary ambassador, emissary, and representative. Syban has promised Senator Simian that she will revert him to his human form if he serves her faithfully. It's hard to say which of the two is the more foolish: Siemens, for believing that his master has the power to do so, or Syban, for putting her trust in a politician.<br> | ||
