The Ouroboros Initiative

After the ████████, the federal government of ██████████ selected a team of scientists specializing in ██████ or ████████ █████ to aid in the recovery and research of ████████. The goal of the project was to develop ████████ and ████████ for use in combating the spread of ██████.

The project is believed to have been shut down as of ██ ████, 20█.

Controversy
Due to the ██████ nature of the project, many citizens voiced concerns, disgust, and outrage, while others heavily backed the project and donated funds as well as ██████ to expedite its progress. In a few short years, the Initiative became a subject of heated debate among politicians, both sides using it as a platform for their campaigning. It is unknown how much of the information released to the public was factual, but many speculate that very little of it was.

A security breach, believed to have originated from inside the project itself, resulted in a leak of a large amount of classified documentation. Following a series of increasingly violent protests, the facility in ██████ was shut down. The Board of Directors announced in the following weeks that funding to the Ouroboros Initiative had been cut and all assets seized.

Famed science fiction author and conspiracy theorist ██████ ████ suggests that the project is still alive and well, and has written a wildly popular novel speculating on the nature and status of the project.
