The Last Supper, a painting by Leonardo da Vinci. The Cup of Christ is also known as the Holy Grail, after King Arthur and his Crusades. It has never been found, in all searches through the ages, though there are many claims.

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.

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.

PLOT OUTLINE

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 virus, John Storm became DNA enhanced like the Panamanian Running Man. Allied to his new strength the CyberCore Genetica™, 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. Johns wins the case, being awarded all of the pirates bounty by the International Court. Making him a very wealthy philanthropist, much to the delight of George Franks. When he only started out to survey Port Royal for Blue Shield.

This infuriates the CIA, MI6, and several mystery bidders, whose offers to purchase the life giving technology, are turned down.

Ignoring President Linc Truman's order to leave John be, the military are bribed by the mystery bidders, to use their positions of great trust, to help them steal, what they cannot buy. Whereas, the military want the tech to be able to hack the computers of other nations, for superiority in times of aggression. Aimed at world domination.

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, as a personal secretary, to deal with the administrative housekeeping. 

The UN's World Health Organization enquire as to the possibility of adapting CyberCore with BioCore as a possible cure for cancer. The Pope is dying. John and crew, navigate to Rome at high speed. They analyze the Pontiff's DNA, concoct a viral cure and inject the religious leader. The whole world watches. A week goes by with mixed reports, but the cancer regresses convincingly. The medical world goes crazy. 

he 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.

Realising the importance of what they are, and have become the guardians of, John decides to hide the Ark and replication equipment. He decides on a Henry Morgan type of 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 their dastardly plans of the wealthy antagonists and warmongers.
