In the year 2010, scientists started experimenting with combining DNA and genetically changing animals in the world. They discovered an island. Not an ordinary island. It was remote, located in waters that no one had ever even seen before. The suns angle made it the worlds greatest wonder. It contained mountains, lakes, desert, forest, even polar segments.
The scientists chose this as the place they would release the animals into the wild. They started with squirrels, splicing squirrel and human genes. The results fascinated them. Out came a squirrel, not changed at all on the outside. On the inside however, significant changes had happened. The squirrel had the brain capacity of a human, and two sets of vocal cords (One to communicate in its native tongue and one of a human). The lifespan also increased significantly, the animals living well into their 60’s and 70’s.
They continued gathering one of each gender of every species of animal in the world. Lions, Tigers, Wolves, Elephants, Giraffes, Gorillas, Turtles, hawks, pigeons and every other creature from earth. They combined them all in the same manner that they combined the squirrel and obtained the same results every time.
After five years they turned their attention to marine animals, hoping to create new unholy, super creatures, masters of the land and water. They took more extreme measures with the marine animals, giving them human legs and arms along with their original bodies. The gills were the toughest part but eventually, they made marine animals that had gills for breathing underwater, but they moulted together when the animal walked on land.
Another five years later, things began to go wrong. Scientists visiting the island, teaching the creatures English began disappearing, never returning from their research trips. They didn’t dare tell the government what they had been doing all of the years, without telling them so they destroyed all files containing information on the creatures and the island and pretended it never was.
The year is 2020 and the island is inhabited by all the creatures as well as the water around it. The animals have all learned English and can fully understand it and speak it from birth. They all also gain a knowledge of their species ancestral language, allowing them to converse to others of the same race in private. They roam in packs or herds, hunting each other and killing just as humans do with each other.
Humans have disappeared from the island, most animals hating them for the tests they ran and vaccines they gave them, not knowing what they were doing. If humans were ever to re-appear, they would more than likely be greeted with roars, growls followed by vicious attacks.
You are a creature now. You decide what you do. Will you live a quiet life alone or will you join a mighty pride or herd? Will you follow or will you lead? Will you kill or will you forage?
You decide.
