The subjects of rigorous scientific experimentation, Helix Warriors are soldiers whose DNA has undergone a process of conversion some-times referred to as “forced evolution.” Science corrects their physical flaws and enables Helix Warriors to surpass the natural limitations of the human form. The genetic mutation process is ongoing.
