This article is about the Manga version of Lambda 7214. For alternate pages referred to by this name, please click any of the icons above.

Λ7214, also known as Lambda 7214 or simply Lambda, was a new special research facility located somewhere in the far west of the Demon World used for experimenting on human children from various different farms.[1] The demons and human scientists working at the facility executed repeated painful and horrific experiments on the children living there. The facility was created in order to try to create higher quality human livestock in a faster and more efficient way than the Premium Farms. However, as a result of the forced drugging and experiments done at Lambda, many children there started to experience abnormal developments, side effects, and irregular growth in their muscles, senses, and nervous system. Lambda 7214 is the place that Norman was sent to after being shipped from Grace Field. In February 2047, the facility was destroyed after Norman led some other kids being held there in an uprising and escaped the place. One of the kids in Norman's group, Zazie, was born and raised at Lambda 7214.

Terminology[]

Λ stands for Lambda in Greek, it is the 11th letter of the Greek alphabet, and has a value of 30 in Greek numerals.

History[]

Lambda 6

Instead of being killed after being shipped out, Norman was sent to Lambda 7214 to assist in Peter Ratri's research. While going through daily tests and drugs, Norman worked to find a way to escape the farm, and made allies with Vincent and Smee.

In February 2047, the facility was destroyed after Norman led some other kids being held there in an uprising and escaped the place.[2]

Lambda 5

It was later revealed by Norman that Peter Ratri and the heads of the Five Regent Families were trying to create a mass-produced super premium quality meat to satisfy the demons. However, this goal was seemingly put on hold after Norman escaped and the facility was destroyed. In November 2047, Peter revealed that he planned to revive Lambda 7214 to officially replace the Premium Farms as well as transfer all of the orphans currently residing at the Premium Farms to a new Lambda 7214 facility he was building. However, this never happened due to the enactment of Emma's Promise that same month.

During Norman's massacre of the demons, Queen Legravalima revealed that she was the one who ordered that Norman be sent to Lambda 7214, in part because she selfishly did not want Norman to be served as an offering to Him at the Tifari and by sending him to Lambda 7214 she could eat him herself once he was done being experimented on.

Facility[]

Exterior[]

Lambda 7214 appeared to consist of a single multi story building perched on top of a man made hexagonal platform. The facility also appeared to be surrounded by a giant cliff and a forest, similar to Grace Field.

Interior[]

Most of the interior of Lambda 7214 is unknown. However, the facility appeared to consist of various kinds of test rooms where horrific experiments on children would be performed. This includes, but is not limited to multiple surgical rooms, hospital rooms, observation rooms, cloning chambers, and holding cells. The facility also contained a large playroom behind a glass wall which is filled to the brim with colorful cushions, toys, and stuffed animals, as if to invoke an ironic sense of fun and happiness in an otherwise dreadful and dangerous place. The large playroom appears to be the only room in the facility which contains color. Most of the other rooms have a very neutral and clinical color palette which mostly consists of blacks, whites, silvers, and grays.

System[]

Branding[]

Much like the Factory Farms, Lambda 7214 used brands instead of farm identifiers to mark the orphans. The brands would be engraved onto the upper left side of every orphan's chest shortly after arriving at Lambda 7214.

Conditions at Lambda 7214[]

Children undergoing tests.

Lambda 7214 was created in order to try to create higher quality human livestock in a faster and more efficient way than the Premium Farms. However, the exact experiments performed on the children to try to achieve this goal are unclear. What is known is the children at Lambda 7214 were treated as expendable test subjects and mere objects to study and eventually dispose of and as a result were forced to undergo numerous torturous experiments and a wide variety of other medical experiments.

All of the children were fed a variety of experimental pills and were injected with unknown chemicals and substances. Additionally, some of the children were subjected to surgical experiments, while others were dissected. A few children appeared to have been attacked or eaten alive by the demon workers. Furthermore, there appeared to be some cloned human fetuses kept in artificial wombs and test tubes. There also appeared to be a few children suffering from rapid aging which caused them to take on an elderly appearance whereas others like Adam developed a tall, large, and bulky sumo-like physique.

The children at this facility were kept in terrible conditions, often in small rooms, tanks, or even cages and the scientists working there had little to no regard for their lives or well being. The children were often seen chained to the walls or a table, others appeared to be drugged out or unconscious, and several appeared to be on the verge of death. Most of the children appeared to be greatly traumatized by the experiments performed on them and as a result of the forced drugging and experiments done at Lambda 7214, many children there started to experience abnormal developments, side effects, and irregular growth in their muscles, senses, and nervous system. Many of the children at Lambda 7214 have massive scars, brain damage, and other injuries and disabilities from being experimented on. However, a few children developed useful skills as a result of the experiments, such as Hayato, Jin, and Zazie who developed superhuman strength, speed, and reflexes.

Most of the children at Lambda 7214 are seen wearing a plain white sleeveless tunic with a two to three digit identifying number across the chest. Instead of using Radar and Transmitters, all of the children at Lambda 7214 wear special bracelets that they cannot take off which tracks their every move.[1]

Norman's experience at Lambda 7214[]

Norman is a "Premium quality good" from Grace Field who has scored nothing but perfect scores on his tests since he began taking them at age four. In November 2045, Norman, at age eleven, was shipped out and brought to Lambda 7214 so that the demons and researchers could study what makes him such high quality and attempt to create more orphans that are just as, if not higher quality than Norman. Due to being such a vital piece of Lambda 7214's research and goal of creating higher quality human livestock, Norman was kept in better conditions than the other children at Lambda 7214. He was given his own cell which contained a bed, a desk, a private bathroom and several bookshelves and computers. Norman's room was surrounded by glass walls so that the researchers could observe him in his cell. He was also given books, puzzles, a rubik's cube and a chess set to entertain himself with. Norman had all of his needs met in his cell and he was rarely allowed outside of it. Norman was kept isolated from the other children at Lambda 7214 and he had six security cameras in his cell that monitored him at all times.

At the start of everyday, a computer in Norman's cell checked his vitals before serving him breakfast. Afterwards, he was required to take several tests similar to the Grace Field tests, but significantly more difficult so that the researchers could attempt to gauge just how smart he is. Each day the researchers made the tests more challenging, but despite this, Norman always passed the tests with flying colors. Norman was also subjected to various painful experiments at Lambda 7214 which left him traumatized, such as being fed a variety of experimental pills which gave him excruciating headaches and caused him to cough up blood.[1]

During his stay at Lambda 7214, Norman was made to wear a plain white long sleeved button-up shirt with ruffles on the chest underneath a white v-neck sweater vest and white pants along with black shoes.

Trivia[]

  • Lambda's headaches were inspired by Shirai's own headaches.[3]
  • It is implied that there are several other Lambda facilities in addition to this one.
  • Most of the children born at Lambda were created via cloning as the Ratri Clan's technology is advanced enough that they can create hundreds of new humans from a single strand of human hair.[4]
  • Lambda has the technology to rapidly age up a person's mind and body. This is shown with Zazie, Hayato and Jin, who despite being five and two years old respectively, all have the build, intelligence and maturity of teenagers.
  • According to the official fanbook, Cislo and Barbara were "randomly picked" to be sent to Lambda 7214.[3]
  • Vincent was brought to Lambda 7214 because his grades were very good. They forced him to undergo brain surgery to determine if he could be pushed further to the level of Norman, that is the reason behind the scars on his head. His scores improved after the surgery, but he could not reach Norman's level.[3]
