Later that day, everyone gathered in the barn. The doctor was there with his fish assistant, Sir Issic Fishbone, a genetically engineered humanoid fish creature. The doctor had created several different species over the years, but Sir Issic was always special. Always by his side Wherever the doctor went, Issic followed. The Medevac Soldiers piled in, about a dozen or so. Everyone was chattering and talking trash among themselves.
Long story short Dr. Kindler was the sharpest mind on the planet. When people realized he could engineer or splice animal DNA with human DNA, or enhanced human DNA to create human hybrids. He wasn't the first enhanced to make more enhanced, China was going crazy experimenting with enhanced DNA altered hybrids. Volunteers came through in the thousands, eager to be altered. Fast forward ten years, and now we have over 130 different classifications. beings that can live both underwater and on land, all with genius-level IQs. This, of course, led to more ethical issues and debates among enhanced and non-enhanced individuals.
Dr. Kindler walked to the front of the barn. He was tall and very thin always had a cigarette in his hand, but he seemed strong for his size. He wore a lab coat paired with metal brain implants. He was quite the site to see. His words fast as he very spoke quickly and sharp with a serious tone. It would leave you feeling like you were missing something. "Good, everyone is here. Just as expected.
I gave extra time for those who needed it. I have a lot to explain, so let me begin. I American Man and Black Magic, have been investigating the disappearance of Demon Babe, American Man's wife and Corruption, also known as Jeffery Docker. As you all know, with the help of my trusted team, including my three personal assistants, Dr. Ster and Dr. Eefre, and of course, Dr. Qidlar. Ten offsite research assistants. Five physicists. All of whom I personally engineered, altered, or hired. And, of course, a boatload of time and money.
We will all be traveling to Mt. Chimborazo in Ecuador. Chimborazo is located 1.5 degrees south of the equator. Due to the bulge at the equator, Chimborazo's peak is farther from the Earth's center. This, my friends, makes this the closest place to our solar system on planet Earth.
SpeedBump interrupting: '' excuse me doctor, why do we want to be so close to the solar system?''
Dr. Kindler: So glad you asked! You see, we will be harnessing cosmic energy using the machine my team and I have built. With enough cosmic energy and Black Magic on our side, we should be able to open a gate to the world where they are trapped.
Accompanying us will be two medevac soldiers provided by Z15. Since Corruption is still at large and Demon Babe is missing too, they have reached out to me to offer support and resources for this journey. I thought it best to accept their offer."
'"While I do not trust the National He, I do acknowledge the challenges you will face ahead. Altogether, there will be eight of you embarking on this journey, and I hope to see all eight of your return. Of course, this is unlikely, but if you follow my instructions, we can improve your odds. We will travel by jet as far as it can take us; the rest of the journey will be on foot. We will set up the equipment in the Fracture Zone, and I will handle the rest from there. Going down the list, I will name everyone accompanying this expedition and their job titles.
