General: “This! Is my plan.”
Suit 2: “And what exactly is that?”
General: “This my friends is the future, it is control. This is the answer to the chaos that we live in. No more will we wake up to find ourselves with decisions, with fears.”
Suit 1: “So you plan to control the minds of the human race? I think I have had enough.”
General: “Leave and you will die, and to answer your question my good friend, no. I do not plan to control the world. I am here talking to you because of a problem I would like to solve.”
Suit one shifts in his/her seat uncomfortably.
General: “The problem is… that this wonderful control is no longer a secret between us. We were hacked not even an hour ago. Now an issue of this magnitude would normally be moved to the eraser squad.” Suits all look uncomfortable. “But… I have different plans. I am going to create a team of civilian hit men using this wonderful new technology.”
Suit 2: “Who are the civilian targets for the team?”

Story Summary.
Deep in the government labs and new drug is created, so secret that only a team of 10 people know about it its origin. The “rogue entity” serum designed by Dr. Walter Zerger, alters the neuronal perception of a human’s anterior cingulated cortex allowing the person to be open to mind control. When one of the government officials in charge of the project learns that the drug is in its last stage of development, he leads a team of ex-seals called “the erasers” to steal the drug and destroy all evidence of its creation.
Deep in the lower levels of the pentagon the drug now resides with a group of top-secret government officials torn between decisions of its fate. The leader General Scott finally makes the decision to make the drug obsolete but faces much opposition from the eraser team that risked their lives to retrieve it. The eraser team, led by Major Bernard Ralls, wants to put the drug into effect and bring it into military combat and top-secret missions. General Scott wins the argument and the drug is stored and erased…
1 month later…
An infamous computer hacker, Daniel Bishop, discovers the Rogue Entity’s only existing recorded file. The file, which is coded, appears as pages of random numbers, letters, and characters. Bishop realizes that anything coded so extravagantly must be of extreme important and secrecy. Saving the file to disk, Bishop brings the file to his friend Robin, a gifted code breaker and conspiracy theorist.
Bernard Ralls is working on the computer while Bishop is hacking the system. Ralls soon discovers that the system is being hacked and calls for General Scott. Scott arrives and gives the order to the erasers to locate and destroy the hacker.
When Robin sees the code she gets to work decoding it. Daniel impatiently watches. When she figures out the code she discovers that it is a lab document of a newly developed mind control drug. Bishop gets on the phone with someone and sets up a meeting.
General Scott, depressed about the hacker’s discovery, agrees to let Bernard run the mission. Bernard decides that the drug should be tested and used to destroy the hacker. He makes a plan to test the drug by sending the erasers out and chosen controlled people out to find the Hacker, who ever finds the hacker first, wins. Bernard ponders who should be chosen when he sees an article in a magazine covering three students at Yale, which are said to “have it all.”
The three students at Yale are Dominick Ryu, Arthur Bain, and Joseph Angell. They are the top 3 students at the University and are proficient in martial arts and numerous activities and athletic skills. They are competing for the top academic placement but are very good friends and very personable young men.
General Scott calls Bernard and gives him the instructions to the plan. He tells him to send out the eraser team to capture and inject the students with the Rogue Entity, after they are injected they will be given their mission. Once they receive their mission, the games begin.
Bain, Ryu, and Angell are on the campus when they see the eraser team. Knowing they are in some type of danger they do their best to resist but the erasers are much too experienced in combat.
The students receive their mission in a dream like state. They are given the objective: find the hacker that knows about the Rogue Entity.
Bernard goes back to the headquarters and tells the General that the students have been successfully drugged and they are on their mission as they speak. Ralls gives the order to send out the eraser team.
The students wake up, dress, and meet. Angell takes charge and begins hacking, within a reasonable amount of time he locates the user that hacked into the pentagon database. Ryu and Bain are standing motionless.
Bernard is seen on the computer trying to locate the hacker.
