This piece is not inherently bad in any way, but it is being weighed down by its structure, both wholly and when broken down into sentences.
You have numerous run-ons and fragments, along with full sentences separated by commas. Normally I wouldn't be a stickler for grammar but the number of run-ons in the beginning of the piece had me re-reading the sentences to ensure I knew what was going on multiple times.
The structure of the piece itself also seemed rather scattered. The sci-fi aspect was addressed and seemingly buried in the first 2-3 paragraphs, and the mention of the Vermin drug (along with the conditioning brought on by it) are ignored later on when the child/protagonist complains to his caretaker. Simply rearranging the paragraphs and bridging them cleanly to produce a feeling of flow would address this problem, though.
In all I enjoyed the content and am admittedly interested in the development of this piece, but I would recommend stepping back to the editing stage and acquiring a proof-read or two from anyone willing to do so. After that, this piece would be more solid, and thus fulfill its potential.
EDIT: This review/critique only refers to Part 1.
