Hey there! Been a little busy today but I do have some other ideas...I'll get to them in a moment.

In terms of your CS...sounds good to me and I like the idea of a smaller one for the NPCs as well. 

Time Frame/Location...It's about 2 years from now not too far in the future in the Northwest like Oregon. Her assistant and your character...maybe he was given an Internship by the medical company this is being done in conjunction with the Government? (something this radical the Government will want in on )

Now here's the items from my PM yesterday: 

--The code name for our Government Project is Lazarus set in the Pacific Northwest (thinking Oregon).
--I will play also an NPC for a couple of posts who is a lab assistant. He will be killed by our creation and that is when we realize the severity of what we've done.
--We go on the run some of the places we end up. A run-down building, a poor neighborhood, and eventually the woods.
--When the Government realizes that we've lost control rather than have their own forces come after us they leave us to our creation. The Government also freezes our bank accounts so we are truly on our own/
--Our creation is not only incredibly strong, but we are discovering that his intelligence is increasing. Which means that sooner or later he might be one step ahead of us.
--His reason for wanting to kill us...whenever he asks us about how he came to exist we blow him off or change the subject. He eventually finds out about Lazarus and realizes that he is not truly human with a history or any hope of a real life. This causes him to snap wanting to seek vengeance against us.

And now for a few other ideas I had: 

--The man pulling the strings on all of this...My character's father. He is the one who basically somehow someway makes sure that you end up at the hospital I work at.

-- My character has been working on a similar project but is missing certain equations that your character has figured out, and vice versa so this way we realize that working together we can finally make the project work. (Again we don't realize that we are being manipulated)

--In terms of a personal relationship...at first we are both just focused in on our work...but once we end up on the run we begin to realize that our work isn't everything to us. (later on down the line)

--The death of the assistant will come back to haunt us...(Evidence will be manipulated so it appears that you and I had known each other much longer and that you and I together killed the assistant).

What do you think?
