[ WP ] The Natural-Born-Killer gene was decisively phased out of the global gene pool as soon as it was discovered , launching humanity into a new era of peace . A century has passed since then , but troubling events have prompted a world-wide search for individuals possessing the elusive gene ...

The van drove through the dark recesses of the forest and was alone. The 2 men had been driving for miles and had yet to see another car or even a house, no sign of civilization at all. A steady stream of Oaks blocked so much that they might have passed by something and not even known it, but they doubted it. 
 
 They did not know how much farther they had to go. All that was known of the tribe was rumor, and never from a direct source. For all they knew the tribe might not have even existed. They could not know it, but they were just passed the halfway point of the forest before they found them. 
 
 The van quietly pulled to a stop, and turned off. A small group of people were crossing the road ahead. They were sparsely clothed, and the men in the van were embarrassed for them. The men opened the doors and stepped out. The tribesman had stopped and stood to watch. Some of them were leaning on handmade wooden tools. 
 
 The men approached. `` Hello.'' 
 
 `` Hi.'' 
 
 `` Are you the tribesman of the Kal?'' 
 
 The group looked at themselves. `` Duh.'' 
 
 `` Oh. I did n't expect you to be so well-spoken.'' 
 
 `` We still have the internet you dumb ass. Did you think that just because we have tools and live a simple life that we would be idiots?'' 
 
 `` Er no, but-'' 
 
 `` But fucking what? Do you think that we do n't even know why you're here?'' 
 
 `` I mean, I guess I just assumed that-'' 
 
 `` Well you know what they say about assuming.'' 
 
 `` I guess I d-'' 
 
 `` You make ass.'' 
 
 `` I got i-'' 
 
 `` Out of you.'' 
 
 ``...'' 
 
 ``...'' 
 
 `` So anyways we're her-'' 
 
 `` And me.'' 
 
 ``... Are you done?'' 
 
 `` Yes.'' 
 
 `` So. Why do you think that we're here?'' 
 
 `` Obviously you're looking for us to deal with you're current over population problem. You're thinking that one of us might still possess a certain gene, and that we might help fix it.'' 
 
 `` That is exactly right.'' 
 
 `` Yeah no shit. It's all anyone's talking about out there.'' 
 
 `` So... Do you have anybody you'd let us take?'' 
 
 `` You're not taking any of our citizens, but we have some... less desirable tribesmen that we do n't care if you take. Follow us.''
