Martin Aarsen

Martin J. Aarsen was the son of an Appalachian labor union activist who caught the eye of Sugar Grove. After his father, Edgar, was killed in military custody on April 3, 2076, Martin and Olivia were put up by the Navy for adoption and were officially placed to new families within two months. That, however, was not the case for Martin Aarsen as he would be used as a child test subject for the Navy's Somnus Initiative. With a history of attempting to flee custody from his orphanage, Martin Aarsen would be the best candidate for testing the effects of brainwashing a child subject. The Somnus Initiative brainwashing would work too well on Martin Aarsen as he would become nothing more than a living robot that would only follow direct orders and do nothing to maintain his health, such as eating, sleeping, bathing or even using the toilet. The scientists for the Somnus Initiative noted that the brainwashing should only be used on adults from now on, and accelerated the deprogramming phase for Martin after learning of its adverse effects on children.
