In 1973, the CIA officially shut down MKUltra. A covert operation that dealt with many things, prominent among them… mind control. Some say the projects have stopped. We don’t believe them. The Siggosts Chronicles is a series of fictional tales regarding individuals caught in the wide net of this organization.
Prologue
Aldrik Sigman walked into the boardroom. His pale gray, austere gaze swept over Remi Karo – Project manager, and Dr. Kenn Berkhorn – lead scientist, seated at the small conference table located in the back of the room. Karo and Berkhorn nodded greetings, which Sigman didn’t return. He took his seat at the head of the table. “Let’s get started, I’ve flown halfway around the world for this. Questions regarding this project required an unscheduled meeting with the Head Counsel and I don’t understand why. Based on the reports I’ve received, MERP is on target with a few, minor inconsequential setbacks. It’s my hope, between the three of us, we’ll provide responsible answers without crippling ourselves when I meet with them in the morning.” His gaze lit on each man for a brief second.
“Tell me of the latest test results,” Sigman said. His late father’s formula, Siggost, was the cornerstone of MERP – Memory Enhancement and Replacement Project, the brainchild of Kirtchens Holdings, a global pharmaceutical company, and the supposedly defunct MK Ultra.
Once the public found out the government had been testing civilians without permission all hell had broken loose in the 70’s. Very few knew MK still operated in the shadows, running tests that included torture, drugs and exotic hypnosis experiments in an effort to explore the mind, propaganda and other related patterns.
Sigman had negotiated the use of the drug with legal tenacity, including a top leadership spot in the program, as well as a hefty percentage of profits. He looked over his interests with a keen eye and sharp tongue, prepared to trim fat or incidentals, as he referred to them, at a moment’s notice. In his eyes, no one was irreplaceable, and he made sure everyone within his small circle understood that.
