 INTRODUCTION: It appears the government is desperate. It recognizes AUTHOR's NOTE: **and I ca n't believe that a unanimous decision is made by a *government* in my lifetime** that the we have overstepped our boundaries concerning the planet ability to sustain the human population. In order to combat overpopulation, our company has been assigned the task, complete with funding and resources, to create an apex predator that will reduces the human population by roughly 33 % on a global scale. 
 
 In order to do this, we first came together to think of what creature could possibly accomplish this. Our first idea was a micro-organism, spread in several major locations around the globe for maximum impact. We already possessed the sequences to counter most antibiotics, and with several reports hidden from us by our government for rapid travel through air, water and blood contact. A virus came up first due to our experience with it, but we recieved an update; several governments had tried this before, but our government managed to threate them into submission. These very same countries had since then adopted rigurous sterilisation procedures at their borders, and have even found ways to counteract a large number of our suggestions. Micro-organisms were off the table. So we had to think bigger, and we came up with something unique. An organism that was capable of outthinking us, adapt to its environment quickly and the ability to cooperate and communicate between individuals; ourselves. We could not simply clone humans though, we needed to be smarter then that. The Ethics Board Concerning the Human Genome had banned that practice with the help of the UN. We had to combine it with something else, but still the same concept. Chimera's had been made before for agricultural experiments with mixed success, so we decided to focus on warfare. 
 
 METHODS: Our project leader decided to merge it with some strand of species that did not turn up into our database. He said he had recieved it from some outside source. We combined the sequence, after which we PCR'ed the sequences, scrambled the repeats for lengths and modified characteristic genes and expression for genetic variation, placed them in a total of 30 Reci^tm blanco cells, after which the incubation period started for a total of 20 months. The cells grew to foetuses, after which they were treated with Hanmeiner therapy to grow them into adults at 20 times normal speed. The creatures were weined and fed, and mind-flashed with basic knowledge of the world and their mission. Strange happenings occured during these periods which will be discussed in the Discussion. 
 
 RESULTS: The speciemns were grown to appear as some sort of anthromorphic variant of humans lions, with digitrade legs, manes on the males, lactose intolerance and relatively short intestines. The first 30 specimens grew to full size in expected rates, mind-flash education was succesful for 28 specimens, 2 specimens underwent epilepsy seizures during these sessions. They passed away and their bodies were used for further analysis of anatomy. The remaining specimen responded well to their lesson and proceeded to succeed in several tests, inclusing strength, endurcance, intelligence and teambuilding. All of these tests were completed in record time, far faster then expected. At one point, they expected and completed challenges the second they were presented with them, as if they predicted the tests and acted as one. Eventually, they appeared to outsmart their caretakers, having made relatively succesful attempts at restraining them, stealing their hallpasses and for a short time able to leave the perimeter into the outside world, where they were contained and forced back into the labs through necessary measures. The wounds obtained during this conflict were healed in less then an hour. The latest breakout attempt, which happened during newyears morning, was a complete succes on the acount of the specimen; the males broke the doors open with sheer strength, proceeded to enter the armory andblasted their way out with a jerry-rigged kart made of riot shields and sub-machine guns. Attempts at tracking them down has concluded in the losing of trails of the specimen, or the dissappearance of the hunters. 
 
 DISCUSSION: Several unique observations were made during the establishment of these creatures. After being introduced to eachother, interfighting immediatly occured, during which a single alpha male was identified. He began teaching them a language mostly done through gutteral sounds similair to lion calls and certain hints of English. Sign language was also quickly incorperated through onknown means. One of the people on our research team has a family member who is deaf and knows sign language. Their use of weaponry and martial arts has no trace in their education, but it is well known that one of their primary caretakers has history in the United States Marine Corps. Another strange occurence is their their storytelling of fairytales and songs that they were never taught. One of our caretakers used to be a kindergarden teacher. Their escape attempt also showed that they knew the building from the inside out, even though they never walked the halls. Their ability to absorb knowledge from their surroundings may be due to mind reading, which probably originates from the unknown strand that was part of their genome they were bred from. During the recovery of their first escape attempt it was noted that 5 of the females had changed behaviour. Mood swings and unprovoked assault was noted among them. Urine analysis revealed that these females were pregnant, which was next to unfathomable because the males and females were kept in separate enclosures except for socializing. Any attempts at sedating any of these females was fruitless, and attempts at doing so were halted due to fear of spontanious abortion and curiosity of the caretakers. The females had not given birth at the time of their succesful escape. 
 **Author's note: As of the time of the publishing of this article, it appears that they have spread at an alarming rate. Dozens, maybe even hundreds of our specimen have been reported slaughtering entire towns in the matter of several hours, and have been seen probing the outskirts of larger cities. Confrontation with polie forces and the National Guard have been futile as the elements themselves turn against. The creatures appear to have obtained the ability to summon thunderstorm at some sort of incantation or ritual, earthquakes have been reported in the middle of tectonic plates and tornados in the middle of the winter have been reported near the latest location of their sightings. They appear to be responsible for this. Further investigation of the mysterious gene is necessary in order to counteract these phenomenons. ** 
 
 CONCLUSION: It appears we have succeeded in our objective. We have created a predator the likes of which we have never seen before. One that turns the very planet we live on against us and evades every move we make against them. 
 Before long, they will number in the thousands and march from continent to continent, wiping humanity from the face of the earth. **Author's note: God forgive us. **
