father decided to use his son as the
test subject for a cybernetic suit that
he’d been working on meant for soldiers
whose bodies were destroyed in war
horrified by the results Victor saw
himself as nothing more than the same
guinea pig he was growing up and wished
that he had not survived the accident if
