About
EDEN
is two stories: one fictional, one fact.
The fiction: Calif
De'Alsace, a man devoted to the dissemination of life across the galaxy, has
taken a group of one hundred artists and scientists to a sterile world named Eden
for the purpose of bioengineering living works of art. Calif,
an Ankh idealist, has decreed that no weapons be brought and that the group
create a "paradise of peace where beauty...not the law of tooth and
claw...reigns." Unknown to the Eden
group, Calif was forced by a powerful
man to include an artist, Iamoendi, who has secretly been using drugs to
enhance his imaging abilities. Iamoendi, who is descended from Fundamentalist
factions that fought in the Religionist Wars, slowly goes insane. Believing
himself an instrument of god, Iamoendi turns against Project Eden. He obtains
the genome libraries (programmed instructions for bioengineering plants and
animals) for insects and arachnids. Subsequently, he creates an army of huge
insect warriors, and launches a secret attack against Project Eden.
