Prologue:
"Never Mess With What You Don't Understand"
Pioneer 2 silently orbited Ragol, sending down expeditions of hunters every so often, to discern the cause of the explosion at the Central Dome. However, in the area known only as the "Lab", there's something going on, that none outside of a small circle know of.
"Ok, Alicia," Prof. Mome tells his assistant, "prepare the hildebear cub for the procedure. If Dr. Osto's, and Principal Tyrell's notes are true, then if we implant this into the cub, then we should see a notable increase in its physical strength, mental prowess, and a good number of other attributes."
"I'm still unsure about this, Professor," Alicia Baz answers, turning toward the door, "Won't this severely disrupt the evolutionary process of the native creatures on Ragol?"
"Principal Tyrell wants this experiment done," Mome responds, "Ours, dear Alicia, is not to reason why. Especially since he's paying us a huge subsidy to our current grant for this."
"Great," the force thinks to herself, "We're no different than the hunters we hire to assist in our field research, performing experiments for money."
The procedure went without a hitch, as Prof. Mome implanted a small device into the cub's chest cavity, fusing it into the cub's ribcage with little trouble. The cub was then carried back to its cage by a group of androids, where it lay there asleep for a few more hours.
When the cub awoke, it felt strange. Like it had no control over its body. It felt immensely stronger, yet unbalanced. Strange thoughts came to the cub's mind, as if it had suddenly realized a new level of intelligence. What happened was the one questions
that came to the cub's mind most often, as well as wondering how it was able to realize such strength and thought processes.
Professor Mome began to observe the cub the moment it woke. Realizing that his experiment was a success, he started to note the difference in the cub. He didn't notice anything strange right off, except for how noticably different the cub had been acting. Over the next few days, to his eyes amazement, he noticed the first physical difference, as the cub had grown to at least twice his original size overnight, and his body's features began to look more crystalline, especially in the large chest and arm muscles. It was as if that device they had implanted had been rearranging the hildebear's DNA.
The cub had had enough of the prodding on the 8th day after the procedure. With a fury unseen, even in a Hildebear, it lashed out at the steel construction of the cage, shattering the door, and lumbering out of the cage. Soldiers had been stationed at the lab's entrance, and when the hildebear knocked the door off its frame, the troops turned and opened fire on the creature. The photon bullets had no effect on the beast, as it flailed its enormous arms, knocking the soldiers into the walls, knocking them unconscious. The hildebear then found its way to the lab's teleporter, and down to the surface of Ragol, where it remained hidden for many a year to come.
That's just the prologue...the first real chapter is coming soon, to a PSO World near you.
