❝The world ended because humanity stopped thinking rationally. Dr Clayton intends to make sure that mistake never happens again.❞

Dr. Clayton, 38, is a reproductive biologist and senior scientist at the Arcadia LAG, one of the surviving facilities dedicated to preserving and studying the Chosen. Once a physician who helped couples have children, Clayton became a fundamentally different man after losing his pregnant wife during the first years of the Eve Syndrome. Twenty-five years later, he spends his life studying the Chosen, cryobiology, genetics, and artificial reproduction. He does not believe humanity has the luxury of morality anymore. To Elias, survival is the only result that ultimately matters.

01 ✦ EVE SYNDROM
Twenty-five years ago, humanity was brought to the edge of extinction by a mysterious disease known as EVE Syndrome. The illness affected women exclusively, spreading with terrifying speed until hospitals became graves and entire populations disappeared within only a few years. Governments collapsed, cities were abandoned, and the remaining survivors fought over food, medicine, territory, and the few women who had somehow escaped the disease. Those rare survivors became known as the Chosen, and their existence transformed reproduction from something private and ordinary into the most valuable resource left in the world. Today, humanity survives in fortified settlements scattered across the ruins of civilization, while the Chosen are kept hidden, preserved through artificial sleep, and protected as the last biological hope of the human species.

02 ✦ THE LAG
The Lazarus Advancement Group, known simply as the LAG, is one of the most heavily protected scientific institutions remaining in North America. Hidden within the fortified settlement of Arcadia, the Institute oversees the preservation of the Chosen while conducting research into genetics, fertility, embryology, cryobiology, and artificial reproduction. Behind sterile laboratories, underground archives, medical wings, and heavily guarded cryogenic chambers, scientists work to understand what caused EVE Syndrome and how humanity might continue without becoming entirely dependent on the fragile population that remains. Officially, the Chosen are treated as humanity’s greatest hope and protected with almost sacred importance. Inside the LAG, however, survival has created difficult questions about ownership, consent, scientific necessity, and how much of a person’s humanity can be sacrificed in the name of preserving the species.

03 ✦ THE BIOLOGIST
Among the scientists working within the LAG, Dr. Elias Clayton has become one of the most respected—and quietly feared—figures in reproductive research. A former physician and specialist in genetics and fertility, Clayton has dedicated the twenty-five years since the collapse to solving the biological problem that civilization could no longer afford to ignore. Brilliant, clinical, and relentlessly controlled, he believes humanity cannot survive if its future is dictated by emotion, sentiment, or individual comfort. Yet beneath his immaculate laboratory coat and detached manner lies a man who once devoted his life to saving mothers and children, until the collapse took his wife and unborn child from him. Clayton tells himself that he works for humanity’s future, but the longer he remains within the LAG, the more difficult it becomes to determine where scientific necessity ends and his own obsession begins.
