Aberrations

Aberrations are Order Agents that have surpassed their tolerance for Compound 36. They are considered monsters by the Consortium and are to be executed on sight. Their existence is hidden from humanity at all costs.

Aberrations Defined

When an agent of the Order further activates Compound 36 and has surpassed his or her limit in being able to deactivate once the need for it has passed, the individual becomes an Aberration. Each Order member's threshold or tolerance for ability augmentation is different. Each Order member's ability to revert from the augmented state is different. There is neither set number of times that one can augment before becoming an Aberration nor a length or duration of augmentation that is required to become one.

Once an Agent becomes an Aberration, he or she is hunted down by the Order and killed. Aberrations have all the normal abilities of an Agent, but these are amplified even further. It is generally presumed that the ability to distinguish between right and wrong as well as the more complicated logic-processing centers of the brain become compromised post-becoming of an Aberration. The Consortium keeps knowledge of these beings out of the public and goes to great length to hide their existence.

Although the Consortium prefers to think of them as mindless beasts that must be put down, the effects of becoming an Aberration vary by those affected. While there exists the possibility of becoming a mindless beast driven purely by instinct, there also exists the possibility of becoming a driven sociopath capable of complex planning through enhanced logic models.
