In Greek Mythology, the Chimera is a monstrous creature of Lycia in Asia Minor, which was made of the parts of multiple animals. Chimera was one of the offspring of Typhon and Echidna and a sister to the Hydra.
Homer’s brief description in the Iliad is the earliest literary reference: "a thing of immortal make, not human, lion-fronted and snake behind, a goat in the middle, and snorting out the breath of the terrible flame of bright fire" The Chimera was slain by Bellerophon and Pegasus.
In recent years we have chosen to describe combining the DNA of two different species as a Chimera. Thus the rise of the Chimeran Army: Created by science for the use of governments to protect their people; unfortunately the true use has been to control and enslave the populace. Most free people had no idea what was happening until it was far too late and our fates were sealed.
The year is 2041, The Chimerian Armies are no longer discussed as possibility; we live with them. Some of the Chimera’s who were chipped in time to control them, do function as we intended. However, a few of the Chimera’s proved cunning, ruthless and intelligent. They removed their inhibitor chips.
We now have rogue Chimeras who hunt humans. Many say we created our own doom in a laboratory… some say we still are at it… The Chimeras are sterile and cannot reproduce. The one thing the scientists did do right… or was it actually God’s doing and we in our pride took credit?
I fear science has lost its meaning because the scientist has lost all sense of humanity and morality. We have become nothing more than alchemists, playing with others lives as if we were gods. Forgive us! We did not understand our grave error because of our pride. Because of this pride, sinister men used us like foolish pawns to create something that should have been left to mythology and legend…
