[QUOTE="Master Gunns, post: 1738210, member: 13514"] [b]The REAL Story...[/b] [I]“They were created by an Evil Corporate Geneticist[sic] **cough, cough** (I can’t name the company here or my life is forfeit), which acquired the DNA samples (both Draconic and stirge) from Section 7 (Transdimensional Research) to whip up a new Bio-Engineered weapon for their Military Arms branch (Section 5) to use in Iraq." "Once a viable strain was engineered utilizing a [I]reverse transcriptase rhino virus[/I], things got out of hand [rumors state that 42 company personnel were killed in the clean-up], and the botched experiment was thrown through a transdimensional portal in Section 7 to get rid of the evidence.” “They were horrible… **wheeze** [at this point Mr. Smith loses consciousness for a few moments.] **Cough, cough, gasp…** They were invulnerable to fire, acid and electricity. We tried everything on them and nothing worked except overwhelming trauma until Section 12 (Magical Research) came up with a Magically enhanced Methyl Carbamate derivative. Once we had that, we threw all the remaining eggs and other research matter through the Restricted Gate on level 4.”[/I] [B]--Dying testimony of “John Smith” to the Grand Jury investigation team into the matter surrounding the disappearance of Doctors Johansen and Riebold at Classified DARPA Research Project near Tooele, UT 14 June 2004 moments before his death by exsanguination.-- [/B] [I]“By the time our investigators arrived at the scene, the entire 4th level of the complex had been sealed due to an accidental release of an irradiated Bio-Modified “Buthus Androctonus Crassicauda (Arabian Fattailed Scorpion) said to be 3m long and radiating lethal levels of Gamma radiation.
