_"Evolution brought all manner of beast, plant and man from the ooze of the Earth's womb and the raw elements within with patience and time to spare. Mankind improved upon evolution and brought all manner of wonder and horror from the Mind's womb with time running out." _

~Geneticist Logan Radgramon, Chief of Science, New Australia

The Narafte Project spanned from 0050AW to 0220AW, was inspired by Rabdul Narafte. He asked two simple questions:

"If we can survive a world now fully irradiated, can we survive the world in better comfort? If we can survive in better comfort, would we survive in space?"

Geneticist Logan Radgramon was soon beset with wave after wave of New Territory of Earth <N.T.E.> meetings asking for the Logan's Matrix to be adapted beyond the simple practicality of surviving short runs out into the dead world. The Narafte Project was a milestone in pushing the Logan's Matrix from simply making mankind into the Humaran species that now lived in a radioactive land, to a heavily augmented Humaran that can be tasked with everything from menial labor to military combat and even space exploration.

What a Pandora's Box that we opened. During this expanse of genetic experimentation, Humarans could now have their muscles doubled; their bones enlarged and made denser; massive digging claws could be had to aid in excavating and construction. Many Humarans took to accepting modifications to improve their agility from various felines, climbing or self defense with retractable claws in their fingers, better vision from various predatory birds as well as various plant properties and sea creatures to handle the crushing weight of pressure from space.

However, the most carnal pleasures locked in the darkness of mans mind be it Human or Humaran came to the fore front to seize upon this gift of gene manipulation. Tastes grew exotic and strange for procreation. Castes had begun to form based on what matrices you had that subjected you to specific labor and life during the Deluwith Debate of 0115AW. Humaran society was now broken into ranking based on your genetic matrices and potential for survival and ruling prowess. Last but not least, with the ability to adapt many abilities and physical weapons of the natural hunters from a world no longer supporting nature, war had grown close, bloody and gruesome like the days of the Roman Empire. As Humarans multiplied and reclaimed more of the world, restoring small portions of ancient civilization and technology, the old ways of squabbling, hording and wars resurfaced. As Humarans began to tread the well beaten paths of their fore fathers, the Humans, others turned eyes for the stars in hopes to escape it all and start anew.

Taken from the personal logs of Logan Radgramon: <9.24.0219AW>

"Oh I was mad to think that my triumph with the Logan's Matrix would solve our problems. We won a small battle in the war on extinction but at what cost? The treatments worked well letting us take back the planet but we could never anticipate the hunger to use it to make life more entertaining, more gruesome or more sedate from the recreation of slave labor. What I had thought would be the end of such savagery from our Human ancestors and their wars that destroyed the planet had simply slumbered in the new Humarans. Now awake, the nightmares have found new playgrounds to haunt.

A positive note about our continued existence is that the Logan's Matrix and the various gene matrices has extended our life spans for unusually long periods of time allowing our bodies to survive better and use nutrients more efficiently. No one has died yet of natural causes in nearly three centuries. Time seemed to stop on our bodies and age no longer seemed to apply. A Godsend many thought, why fear death from growing old when the only means now were death by industrial accident, mutant mutilation, murder or blood sport."
