The Cup of Christ is the Holy Grail, that has never been found, in all searches through the ages.

The quest for the Holy Grail, the Cup of Christ, and the meaning of life is something we all think of at one time or another.

Many treasure seekers have searched for the mythical Holy Grail; the Cup of Christ, the Liahona, the all knowing guide, the answer to all our questions about the meaning and secrets of life.

More than a thousand years before the coming of Christ the Ancient Egyptian priests had decoded and recorded the secrets of nature, immortality and power, condensed in an intricate orb that was held to reveal all. The priests buried their knowledge with their great pharaoh Akhenaten for his journey into the afterlife, but the device was stolen from his tomb by raiders and though a Devine Compass cropped up in history, the secrets therein were lost in the sands of time for over 3000 years.

What secrets might be contained within the ancient device, held to be a fountain of youth, the world will only learn of depending on who recovers it, and if they wish to use that knowledge for good or evil, to stave off Armageddon.

With the power of the Holy Compass it is said the bearer may perform miracles, cure disease, and live forever through knowledge.

If that sounds familiar then you'll have some idea of what is in store for John Storm and his crew, as one of his philanthropic hunches turns into an epic cyber adventure.

The Last Supper, a painting by Leonardo da Vinci

John Storm, the ocean adventurer is also an amateur Paleo Anthropologist, near obsessed with his DNA collection called 'The Ark,' that is safely embedded in his trusty ship, the Elizabeth Swann, protected by an armory of security measures, and the ever watchful Hal.

Having been injected with a super CRISPR virus, John Storm became DNA enhanced like the Panamanian Running Man. Allied to his new strength, the CyberCore Genetica™, together with the BioCore™ brain implant, turns him into the most digitally connected person in history.

His newfound abilities have not escaped the attention of military chiefs and wealthy patrons, including religious leaders, some of which were privy to his rescue of Cleopatra VII from Guantánamo Bay.

Following the discovery of Captain Henry Morgan's treasure, a legal battle royal ensues, where opposing claimants try to force John to reveal the location of the treasure trove. But John refuses to disclose the hiding place, because the claimant's various will not negotiate reasonably. Ultimately, John wins the case, where his opponents cannot prove title to any of the treasures, by way of providence. Their claims are struck out, John being awarded all of the pirates bounty by the International Court, with the proviso that he donates any archaeologically pieces, to an appropriate museum. Something, John had suggested to the Court, by way of compromise. The verdict makes him a very wealthy philanthropist - and psuedo officer of the court, much to the delight of George Franks. When John only started out to survey Port Royal for Blue Shield, as a good deed. Franks is very helpful as an online Mackenzie Friend. 

This infuriates the CIA, MI6, and several mystery bidders, one of which is the richest person in the world, Musket (Klusky) Meloni, whose legitimate (name your price) offers to purchase the life giving technology, are turned down. Mainly, because he has abused his position of trust in the banking world to profit by the labours of others. John is opposed to financial slavery. Indeed, any form of slavery, and most especially cruelty.

Ignoring President Lincoln Truman's order to leave John be, the mystery (so-called) bidders bribe the military in positions of great trust, to help them steal, what they cannot buy.

Whereas, the military want the tech for themselves, to be able to hack the computers of other nations, for superiority in times of aggression. Aimed at eventual world domination. Thus, a double cross is on the cards. Musket Meloni's country estate is targeted, his henchmen machine gunning the intruders. Meloni installs robotic machine gun sentries and SAM missiles.

Pink Growth, has reared its ugly head, as food shortages lead to riots and cannibalistic orgies, similar to that of Johan de Will in 1670, where the politicians who had under performed, were consumed by the angry mob.

John, Cleopatra, and the Swann become hard targets; capture or kill. With both enemies and friends in high places, life is complicated. Except for Hal, acting as a personal and legal secretary, to deal with the administrative housekeeping.

The UN's World Health Organization enquire as to the possibility of adapting CyberCore Genetica™ with Hal's BioCore as a possible cure for cancer. The Pope Peter Benedict is dying. He refers to Storm as the Medicine Man. John and crew, navigate to Rome at high speed. They analyze the Pontiff's DNA, devise a viral cure and inject the Catholic leader. The whole world watches. A week goes by with mixed reports, but the cancer regresses convincingly healing the Pontiff. The medical world goes crazy, as the Vatican City breathes easy. 

Meantime, the wealthy Musket Meloni, tries to hack into Captain Nemo, and Hal. A Cyber War ensues, with the richest man in the world throwing all his resources into trying to take control of the Elizabeth Swann. And, he is winning. Meloni manages to plant a virus in Hal, that almost succeeds in stealing data from The Ark. Fortunately, Dan uses the CyberCore Genetica™ to reverse the virus, Enigma fashion, feeding the Billionaire bogus information, then turning the tables, finding the billionaire's lair. In Donald Trump fashion, Homeland Security act on information supplied by John, to arrest Musket Meloni.

The United Nations consult as to peace keeping duties, using CyberCore. At which point another attempt is made to kidnap the duo. This time by the FSB, foiled in Jason Bourne style. China is working with Russia, by the back door.

Realising the importance of what they are have become the guardians of, John decides to hide the Ark and replication equipment. He decides on a Henry Morgan solution. Soon after, telling the world that the Swann is no longer the laboratory she was.

John needs all the help he can get from Hal, the Swann's onboard AI, and his crew, to thwart the dastardly plans of the wealthy antagonists and warmongers.
