The John Storm Franchise, is a series of original "climate and ocean" awareness stories being developed as graphic novel and screenplay adaptations. Sample art shown above. We hope to get 'Cleopatra The Mummy' - or - the alternative 'Cleopatra's Mummy' into print by 2024. To be available on Amazon and at other good bookstores, including libraries and schools. Free of plastic toys. Please note, there are two short story, script adaptations based on the finding of Cleopatra's tomb and subsequent reincarnation by modern means - with a third in the formulation stage. In the 1st draft, the antagonists are Occultists based in Brazil, seeking to create a genetically enhanced master race with modified DNA, an Indiana Jones inspired, technology spy romp. In the 2nd draft, the antagonists are biological research scientists based in Europe, accepting a dare to prove the capabilities of their newly developed cloning technology, from the richest man in the world - which began as an EU funded research project, looking for a cure for cancer. A 3rd adaptation, is more along the lines of 'Frankenstein' with a descendent of the (real) Baron Victor VI, taking up the torch, as he acquires a sample of Cleopatra's DNA from John Storm. This is the 4th adaptation, with comic horror overtones, as a distinguished Carpathian scientist sets out to discover why ancient Egyptians
4TH PLOT OUTLINE - John Storm, a Blue Shield secret agent, surveys the sunken city of Alexandria recently disturbed by earthquake, and finds Cleopatra's mummy superbly preserved in a watertight casket. At the same time a group of EU funded scientists perfect cloning and DNA altering tech that they claim will cure cancer and Covid, and even allow replication from ancient DNA samples - such as Cleopatra (exagerating to gain recognition). A wealthy Romanian philanthropist, living in London, Earl Arclaud, acquires nano computer tech from Billy the Kid, as a tool to infiltrate the 'Novus Illuminatum' in his quest to find a cure for a very dangerous strain of Covid, called the "Vampire Virus" that his wife, Countess Arclaud has contracted. He challenges the European group to prove their theory, offering them a state of the art laboratory in a castle near the Carpathian mountains, Transylvania, to accelerate their efforts, and a sizeable 'Wager' to spur them on. While secretly planning to secure the tech for his own personal use with help from a crooked CIA operative. He is so much in love with his wife. But when their replication experiment works, Charley is petitioned by Professor Van Helsing to investigate their Carpatian laboratory, and is kidnapped, involving John Storm in a rescue mission, when he is accidentally injected with a CRISPR virus. Then, the CIA kidnap the reincarnated Cleopatra, to continue research on her at Guantánamo Bay for the USA & DARPA, double crossing the Earl and Storm. Recovering from being injected with the CRISPR virus, John becomes DNA enhanced and plans a mission to rescue Cleopatra from Guantánamo Bay.
This original story is a comedy horror, focused on finding a cure for cancer, with unashamed tongue in cheek, James Bond overtones.
2ND DRAFT - SAMPLE: THE PERFECT PLOT (SHORT STORY)
SCENE 1. Cleopatra's tomb lay lost for centuries. Then one day a shift in the tectonic plates triggered a tremor off the coast of Alexandria, causing alarm in Paris.
SCENE 2. As an agent of Blue Shield, John Storm, surveys Egypt's coast off Alexandria, finds Cleopatra's tomb, verified using the Ark and Hal, keeping location a secret, pending salvage and Blue Shield site protections.
SCENE 3. Flashback Alexandria, the site of Cleopatra’s palace, 30 BC, the combined suicide of Marcus Antonius and Cleopatra. (The destruction of Thonis & Alexandria by a tsunami, sinking the great civilization and ports in 365 AD.)
SCENE 4. William Bates auctions his CyberCore Genetica nano-super computer. Secretly purchased by Earl Arclaud, one of the wealthiest businessmen from Romania, as an undisclosed anonymous sealed bid. Earl Arclaud being related to Count Dracula (actually Vlad the Impaler).
SCENE 5. A team of European scientists, based near London including Abraham Van Helsing, are part funded by Horizon Europe and part by NATO, the core cohort of which are secretly [New World Knights-Templar group] members (alternative to Masons) - claim to be able to clone or reincarnate famous people from very old DNA and eradicate human ails via synthetic genomic engineering.
SCENE 6. Earl Arclaud buys into the cartel, and is welcomed into the 'Novus Illuminatum' (New World Knights [Illustratio Novus]) by offering use of Cybercore Genetica™, one of the core ingredients of the CRISPR virus, a bacterial DNA Cas9 enzyme delivery system, that allows precisely targeted DNA enhancement in adult subjects.
SCENE 7. Charley Temple alerts John Storm to 'Novis Illuminatum,' though John does not quite believe that such an organization could exist in the modern world. But she insists he will become a target, as they are EU funded to find a cure for cancer, and his Ark has the largest DNA collection in the world, now, including that of Cleopatra. The 'Swann' is an autonomous vessel, with onboard AI.
SCENE 8. The 'Novus Illuminatum' cartel attempt to hack into Hal, and the Ark onboard the Elizabeth Swann, trying to steal the Ark, DNA database. Hal's AI shuts them out, automatically. John wonders how they even managed to get that far.
SCENE 9. Earl Arclaud challenges Egypt to provide some ancient DNA for EU scientists, throws down the gauntlet to John (in effect), seeking to undermine his salvage rights, to entice him to relinquish a small Cleopatra tissue sample. The carrot is a very large sum of money, $10 billion dollars for Blue Shield and Egypt's Ministry of Antiquities. Unable to resist the money, Egypt's Husani Hassan agrees terms, urging John to do likewise.
SCENE 10. John relents, persuaded by Blue Shield and the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities, who say it will not work in any event, so might as well let the scientists have a bash, to obtain the funding. With promises of more aid from Meloni, John is temporarily dazzled by the brilliance and apparent philanthropic gesture of the richest man in the world. Subject to the right to periodically inspect the laboratories of the European Cartel.
SCENE 11. Having taken delivery of a sample of Cleopatra's DNA, and the CyberCore Genetica, the scientists set to work in two teams, developing their revolutionary technology side by side. The CRISPR virus works well to remove cancer from a subject, while other work along these lines enhances a subject, making them virtual superhumans. Homo Sapiens Superior.
SCENE 12. The scientists develop a prototype biological implant, an interface for the human brain, which they call BioCore™. This flexible microchip communicates wirelessly with the CyberCore Genetica, and from there to the internet. Novus Illuminatum keep the human enhancements secret.
SCENE 13. The replication work proceeds at Carfax Hall, with Cleopatra grown and her brain programmed with her past, to include simulation of her synapse firing sequence, based on the fact she spoke nine languages, and was a mathematician and an accomplished political and military strategist. Other elements are included to soften the culture shock, as the reincarnated queen re-enters life in the 21st century.
SCENE 14. John requests a visit to see the progress for himself, but is given the brush off, and shown a facility that does not seem to have all the equipment necessary to have recreated Cleopatra. Then he is denied access to the subject with various excuses, that do not gel. His suspicions are aroused, and he investigates further with help from Dan (hacking) and Hal.
SCENE 15. Charley persists with her own investigations, agreeing to meet with John, where she thinks the real work is going on at Carfax Hall. She is captured, and John has to effect a rescue, with some background help from the CIA's Jack Mason. During the struggle to overpower Charley's captors, John is injected with an experimental CRISPR virus. Dan manages to make off with the CyberCore Genetica and Biocore, equipment, plus a download of all the experimental files. Jack Mason turns a blind eye, at the time, biding his time.
SCENE 16. From the recovered data, Dan and Hal work out that Cleopatra being held in another facility in Romania. Now with Novus Illuminatum proven to be operating in violation of John's conditions, he raids their castle laboratory in the Carpathian mountain region, rescuing Cleopatra in the process, with Interpol arresting all the wrong people, on suspicion of fraudulent misuse of grant funds.
SCENE 17. Meanwhile, Earl Arclaud has done a deal with Jack Mason, to part whoever held the CRISPR technology, at that point in time John Storm, and cure the Countess, so that his "philanthropy" has paid off, in an announcement to the world. Arclaud wants to showboat, and commercialize the cure for cancer and the 'Vampire Virus,' while taking control of the replication technology.
SCENE 18. Storm and Arclaud are double crossed by Jack Mason, who spirits Cleopatra to the secure US facility at Guantánamo Bay. Having first persuaded John to allow US scientists to check the former Egyptian Queen over, in a private hospital in London.
SCENE 19. The CRISPR virus having taken to his DNA, John rescues Cleopatra from Guantánamo Bay in a daring night raid.
SCENE 20. CIA, covertly try to terminate the Swann and crew, including Cleopatra, who is now a witness.
SCENE 21. John does a deal with US President Lincoln Truman, Jack Mason is chastised.
The cure for cancer is the Holy Grail of medical achievement, a Crusade that is within our grasp.

THE ILLUMINATI
Bavarian secret society founded in 1776, organized like the Freemasons. new order was Bund der Perfektibilisten, or Covenant of Perfectibility (Perfectibilists); he later changed it because it sounded too strange. On 1 May 1776, Weishaupt and four students formed the Perfectibilists, taking the Owl of Minerva as their symbol. The members were to use aliases within the society. Weishaupt became Spartacus. Law students Massenhausen, Bauhof, Merz and Sutor became respectively Ajax, Agathon, Tiberius and Erasmus Roterodamus. Weishaupt later expelled Sutor for indolence. In April 1778, the order became the Illuminatenorden, or Order of Illuminati, after Weishaupt had seriously contemplated the name Bee order.
