Years 2020-21 were very bad years for the world. A terrible pandemic struck the world, leaving millions of deaths around the globe.
A lot of people died. Some were famous, others not so much, maybe they were simple strangers or maybe they were friends, distant relatives or even our most loved ones. Yes, years when you couldn't turn on the TV or the networks that bombarded you with millions of cases or deaths every day discouraging what was left of the population.
Years passed and although now it's a bad memory of everything they went through years before. There are still things that endure and will endure for hundreds and perhaps millions of years more, such as that they are no longer human.
Hybrids ring a bell?
Animal Project was an experiment created in 2021 in the midst of the great pandemic. Some scientists in a desperate search for a cure for a virus that they knew little about and that was attacking the whole world, causing millions of infected people and countless deaths, decided to experiment with animal DNA.
Walter Kurz was the creator of the PA. A renowned German scientist who in his golden years was the winner of hundreds of Academy Awards and the winner of many awards for his countless achievements in science. Creator of the cure against cancer and successful in transplanting limbs from one person to another, he had the great idea of researching a cure against the virus, since his family had contracted it. After hundreds of days in his lab trying his best to mix chemicals and substances, a horrible and bizarre idea came to him when he saw his pet a simple lab hamster.
His intentions were to investigate whether any DNA from the animal kingdom could be used to create a reliable cure for that virus. Because he knew the abilities of animals in various risk situations and thought that something similar might happen to a human.
But one day, the brilliant idea of mixing the two DNA came into his mind.
Animal and Human.
All their research was denied and destroyed by the government, considered it inhuman and totally immoral to do that to humans as well as animals. But having copies and backups of all her reports and experiments up to that day, she opened a clandestine lab with the help of many former scientist.
They all tested the DNA of hundreds of species in embryos still in formation, being rejected almost instantly, causing the death of the cell sac they called embryos. Hundreds of failures, one after the other, and it was like that until they realized that the embryos lasted longer and longer, until one day one gave a positive result.
A seven-month-old fetus had acquired the DNA of a feline by obtaining its traits and variants of its characteristics as well as behavior. Although you couldn't confirm which one, because of their faults. They kept taking the same steps with each other, creating their first hybrids.
And no one thought that years later, those hybrids would make up the entire population of the world.
After a gigantic war that left human being on the brink of extinction, the surviving hybrids managed to move on as civilized "people." Years in which they reproduced among themselves and appeared more hybrids of other species that had not yet been researched, causing the sum to rise exponentially to cover the numbers that were once human beings.
The continents were transformed over hundreds of years, for different reasons, causing each continent to have its own habitation.
Right, in central Asia, a war is about to break out after it will be reported that they had abducted the last hybrids of a species to breed them by force.
Yes, like hundreds of years ago.
Only this time it wasn't a scientist and his minions, but hybrids who want power and wealth.
– YOURSELF PREPARE TO GO ATTACK! –the Lion hybrid roared, leaving its large tusks in view.
– Alpha Team; North, Bravo Team; South, Charlie Team; East, Delta Team; West –spoke quickly the cougar, watched all the soldiers as they took their weapons and equipment– Right now they are all under the care of every commander. MAKE EVERYONE IF YOU DO NOT WANT PROBLEMS!
After a chorus of "Yes, sir", they went out to the vans that would take them to the planes.
— Commander, Caballito de Mar mission in progress —he spoke to the radio on his shoulder.
— All targets have to come safe and sound —he left the apparatus making everyone in the van look at each other— It's not an option, it's an order.
— Yes, sir. We'll bring all the seahorses back safe and sound.
PHP's headquarters is desperate that their soldiers don't fail.
Mission Seahorse.
A peculiar mission.
Prevent the last hybrids of that animal from becoming extinct.
The only male hybrids that are fertile, at that time, are on the verge of extinction.
And it's PHP's duty to take care of any hybrid
