INTRODUCTION

In downtown Philadelphia, a slight breeze compliments the unusually warm weather. The upper 90 degree temperatures during late autumn are uncharacteristically warm for the northeast states, but no one can explain why. Many experts blame it on the sudden increase in mining operations while others point at the shrinking polar ice caps. However, the government officials consider their theories as simply “theories” and continue to do what they think would be best for the economy.

 
A few short years earlier, the discovery of Trevistium had the entire world buzzing. The new metal was dense, yet solid and infused with diamonds. Its stock nearly tripled that of any other. Almost every country took part in the race to acquire what was commonly referred to as T-Grade. Thus far, none of them had been able to gain an edge. One thing was for certain though: whoever controlled it would be established as the one true global power.

 
Geologists gave warnings about the consequences involving the increased mining activity. However, no one listened because they seldom had proof to back their claims. There were similar doomsday predictions early in the twenty-first century, but thus far none had come to pass. Congress was starting to get frustrated with their inaccuracies and discussed cutting their financial support altogether.

 
There was another issue starting to get the attention of the powers that be. Nearly ten years earlier, a slew of diseases nearly wiped out half of the population. Somehow, these diseases were able to adapt and ultimately became immune to treatments. Now there was a new threat taking the world by storm.

 

Remotollinaextraverdia, or Rx as it was known worldwide, was unlike anything they had ever seen before. Rx contained traits of Sickle Cell Disease, autoimmune diseases, neurological conditions like Myasthenia Gravis and Cerebral Palsy, cancer, and Lupus. A series of unexplained seizures and collapses led to its discovery, and shortly thereafter, the death rate spiked.

Rx (Dawn of the Hybrids) Description:

The year is 2058. The condition known as RX is about to play a major role in deciding the fate of humanity. This new condition, which is a combination of nearly every genetic, autoimmune, and neurological disorder ever known, has been detected in over one third of the population. People are dying at an alarming rate, so everyone is scrambling to try to find a cure.

 

Meanwhile, traces of a precious new resource have been discovered deep in the heart of the planet, and nearly every country is taking part in the race that could sway the balance of power in their favor. So, with mining operations near the earth’s core at an all-time high, the planet’s health is being ignored. This will eventually prove to be costly. When the day finally arrives to test the new Rx medication, the earth has a different plan.

 

A series of natural disasters tear through the entire planet and leave only death and ruin in its wake. Those who survive the storms are left in a cold, dark wasteland of a planet and now they must adapt and evolve to survive.

 

They soon realize that their bodies are going through changes, as a result of a chemical imbalance. Eventually the changes take form, and they come to be known as “Human Hybrids”. Unfortunately, the activity at the core inadvertently disturbed a race of dormant flesh-eating savages who have made their way up to the surface to try to take over the world.

 

Now it’s up to the Hybrids to save what’s left of humanity and drive them back from whence they came.
