lot:-In the not too distant future, science has made a breakthrough. A special protein has been discovered, capable of reshaping DNA and Cellular structure. They call it 'The God Gene', or 'TGP' for short, as it essentially has the creation powers of God. Christianity is now virtually non-existant, many turning to TGP as a means of curing fatal illness', cosmetics, you name it. It is used in virtually every hospital, as it is quick and painless, not taking more than a mere injection into the vital spot. Cancer has gone from one of the biggest killers, to the most easily cured potentially fatal disease. However, one man has decided to take the protein a step further, for a bizarre purpose.
In 1987, June 13th, Jacob Starling was born. His parents were both scientists, and they wanted him to grow up to be the greatest scientist who ever lived. He graduated early from University, and started studying DNA structures, and how to manipulate them. He worked alongside another scientist, Dr. Robert Caulfield, and they quickly became close friends. As they matured, they began extracting DNA from every living organism around the world, searching for the 'perfect' molecular structure. Dr. Starling worked on invertebrates and singular celled colonial animals, whilst Dr. Caulfield worked specifically on vertebrates.
3 years afer they started their research, Dr. Starling made a discovery. The DNA samples taken from particular Multicellular Organisms showed that the cells worked in unison to change shape, and move freely. This was controlled by the nuclei of each cell, individually. The Nuclei produced a protein that would allow the molecular structure change freely, so it would in turn, alter in shape or size. Dr. Starling had made a breakthrough, and he realised that if he tampered with the sample a little, he could create a 'shape-shifting' kind of gene, which could be controlled by the positioning, or molecular structure of the specific gene injected; TGP.
Jacob showed his colleague, and only his colleague. Dr. Caulfield was staggered with what he had discovered, whilst he had found nothing. Although jealous, he promised to himself that he would not take any credit for the discovery. Jacob spent the next few days bragging about how he was going to be rich, how he was going to be famous, how he was going to be noticed. Blinded with jealousy and anger, Dr. Caulfield went back on his promise, and whilst Jacob was away, took the research notes, along with the samples. When it came the time for Jacob to show off his discovery, it was too late. Dr. Caulfield claimed the fame, and the glory.
In a spiral of depression and anger, Jacob slowly went insane. His new goal was to use his discoveries for a darker purpose. He organised another meeting with the scientist council a few years later, to show off a discovery that he had made, enhancing the abilities of TGP. But what he had discovered was horrifying.
Unveiling a pod, filled with a solution of TGP, other chemicals, and animal DNA, he unveiled a terrifying spectacle. A man, who's arms and legs had transformed into tentacles, his head taking a spear like, streamlined shape. More tentacles sprouted from his shoulders, smaller, but apparently undeveloped. Dr. Starling had managed to create a Hybrid between Human, and Squid. He further stated that this could be done with any type of animal, including fossilized DNA. Dr. Caulfield was head of the council at the time, and couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Dr. Starling was banned from participating in these 'barbaric' experiments, and was jailed for 4 years. His insanity grew, and when he was released from prison, he went into hiding. Nobody has seen him since. The sad truth is, Dr. Starling thrived off of these experiments, and seeked refuge on a deserted island, where he set up a secret laboratory. The money he made through past discoveries was enough to have the place built, a team of staff was hired, dedicated to keeping the Experimentee's in check.
And you are the next experimentee.
Now you are a member of this newly transformed world, a world where technology is at its peak. Whether you are rich, poor, famous, a nobody, tall, short, dumb, or smart, you go about your everyday life, as if everything is fine... until you one day, find yourself being knocked out unexpectedly. The last thing you hear before you black out is:
"Yes... he'll do well as a new pet. Hehehe."

---------------------------------
You awake to an unfriendly surge of energy coarsing through your veins. You are in a testing lab, inside a test tube. The test tubes themselves, other than yourself, are filled with a green fluid. It isn't acidic, nor alkaline, and appears to be unreactive. You're not sure. You have no idea how you got there, or how to get out. But you can see around you, much to your displeasure, many other test tubes with other subjects in them, some still unconscious. You have no recollection as to how you got here, but you won't have time to gather your thought's at the moment. Another surge of energy, this one more painful than the last, is suddenly shot into your body, and you pass out once again.
You awake a few hours later, in a white room containing a bed, TV screen (not the kind you watch TV on though), and a CCTV Camera. You are clothed in the clothes you were wearing prior to being knocked out the first time. You feel groggy for the moment, as you have just been under the influence of anasthaetic. Suddenly the TV screen comes on, and a speaker echoes thoughout the building. A man, with the obvious persona of a mad scientist, what with the crazy white hair, glasses, pointy nose and all, appears on the screen. He speaks to you, and unbeknownst to you, he speaks to every other test subject.
"Greetings. My name is Dr. Starling, and I run this facility. You have each been hand picked to undergoe some... mild changes, if you may. You see, we're testing a new use for TGP, and you all volunteered to do this for me! Ehehehe!"
You are awake enough now to know that is a blatant lie, and you were forced here against your will.
"... No good? Ah well, it was worth a shot. But think about it. We couldn't risk you saying no, you would've missed out on an amazing oppurtunity. We are going to change history with these experiments. Now, if you exit your room you will enter the tester's lounge, where you can socialise with your new friends. Hopefully you don't kill eacho- I MEAN, I HOPE YOU GET ALONG... Ha... Haha... Ahahaha!"
You wonder to yourself what the strange man meant by that last remarck, and what exactly he has done to you. It is up to you what you do from here on out.
