The United States was in the middle of a massive war, but the outlook was grim. Billions of dollars were being spent on research and development back home, but most of it was coming up fruitless. Then one project, codenamed Chimera, came out with surprising results. The project was listed under biological weapons, and most had pegged it as a failure from the start, but the project proved to be an unexpected success. Biologists had successfully grafted the DNA of a lion to the DNA of a live rat. The poor creature became incredibly dangerous and had to be put down. Working in secret to ignore all the red tape, the military forged directly ahead on to human experimentation, taking willing recruits from their ranks, coincidentally all males. The experiments proved successful in most cases, and with the help of these new "super soldiers," America was able to win the war. However, after the war the soldiers that volunteered found out that the experiments done to them were irreversible and left them unable to reproduce. Around this time, many of the super soldiers defected, resulting in a large, publicly denied conflict. Most of the soldiers were able to escape and remain outside of government notice. A few months later, there was another revelation: a few special humans could still have children with the super soldiers. The government is now tracking these human women and the super soldiers, both to protect the public and to cover their own trail.
