Experiment ⨟ V ☩┊✨

Name: Serial Designation V Alias: Vile Assassin (case name) V Bruta (by J) Hyena/mongoose friend (by N) Special case (by scientists and laboratory specialists) Dear (by Tessa)

Sex: Female Height: 160 (Compact and energetic) Weight: 77.2 (Low fat mass) Hybrid: Striped Hyena + Egyptian Mongoose

It has a compact and energetic body with low body fat. Its fur is grayish-white, with black diagonal stripes on its legs and orange vertical stripes on its sides. Its hair is short, unlike J's or N's; V's hair is straight, styled so that its whitish strands frame its face. Its ears are large and black, almost always pointing forward, erect and alert. It has a silver headband with five sections of light, which are extra eyes, hidden by its fur and its furry, black ears. It has large black eyes with bright yellow irises and purple eyelids. Its dark mane runs from the nape of its neck to join its furry, whitish tail. It has short whiskers and a strikingly orange nose. Unlike J and N, who have large paws, V's paws are small but have curved, retractable claws, and small spikes on its forearms that, with enough force, can cause cuts. It has a wide tail at its base with a tuft of long, black hairs at its tip, but at the end of the tail it has a thin syringe containing nanotive acid, a deadly weapon that paralyzes its victims and enemies with one prick; if more than one prick is given, it could poison them.

Tessa was the one who gave V the clothes she wears today, which consist of a dark gray, short-sleeved coat with a golden-yellow fur collar and cuffs that could at first glance be mistaken for her own fur. She also wears a yellow armband with a skull tag, a clear warning sign of danger, along with text indicating her case name (Vile Assassin).

In its attack/hunting mode, V reveals its sharp teeth and claws beneath its paws, and its ears become rigid and bristling. It also reveals a large pair of clawed and feathered wings. Its irises turn into bright red "X" shapes. In this mode, V becomes more agile, faster, and more lethal.

The Hyena gives her a brutal and opportunistic survival instinct, and the Mongoose, irritability and reactive speed. V is the most volatile and unstable of the three because she was the most psychologically affected by the experiments and tests. She is seen as an indomitable shock force.

Her constant aggression is a defense mechanism (the mongoose attacking without hesitation). She attacks before she can be attacked. This makes her seem sadistic, but in reality, she is constantly on guard and defending herself.

Although his attitude is one of constant defiance and possessiveness with his things, whether food or toys, V sees N and J as the closest thing he has to a pack—other beings he can trust to hunt, sleep, or play with. Even though their interactions are based on growls, sarcasm, or outright violence, his primary motivation is protection and the opportunity to hunt.

She values ​​her freedom and despises rules, though she follows J's orders out of a combination of fear and respect for the strength of other, larger hybrids. She is the most likely to rebel if pressured.

Her relationship with Tessa is the most complex. V doesn't have N's straightforward loyalty or J's hierarchical respect; she sees Tessa as a human she can trust, but that doesn't make V lower her guard completely. She sees her as the one who provides the "hunts," the "rewards," and the training. While she may have a modicum of respect for her, she wouldn't hesitate to back away if Tessa tried to pet her.

She maintains a confrontational and disinterested posture, often avoiding direct eye contact unless she is being challenged. She is the one who most "acts" in a purely animalistic way in the presence of her caregiver.

Toxin Reflex: This is her signature ability. V possesses a hyper-accelerated metabolism that grants her near-total resistance or immunity to toxins, poisons, and certain overload nanites. This means that any serum from JCJenson takes a very long time to affect her, or simply burns her up instantly. Her reflexes are so fast that she can dodge or intercept projectiles with minimal movement.

Striped Burst: V can unleash a burst of energy that triples his movement and attack speed for a short time. Doing so leaves visual trails behind him (as if the hyena's striped pattern were blurring). This ability is perfect for surprise attacks, charging through an enemy line, or quickly retreating.

Disassembly Bite: While N's bite is one of gripping and persistence, V's bite is one of rupture and instant lethality. Its bite is optimized to sever limbs or surgically damage vital systems, reflecting its hyper-aggressive nature of going straight for the victim's weak point.

• Her habitat room is large, with a window where scientists monitor her, a green floor that simulates grass, a small pond with fresh water, and lights that simulate sunlight and night. She only has one large metal dish, since V hunts and devours her prey alive. • As a puppy, his diet consisted of meat, fish, and some vegetables. But now that he's grown, that's changed to larger, livelier cuts of meat. • He loves to run all over his habitat, instead of using the treadmills that scientists gave him. • It often jumps into the small pond, just to splash the scientists as it shakes itself. • The glass of his habitat is somewhat scratched, as V believes it is a perfect scratching post for his claws. • Destroys things for fun. Somehow, V manages to escape his habitat, roaming the halls and scaring some humans. But he always returns. • He hates hunting mice and rats, as they are very elusive prey. • Like N, V ​​cannot control his instincts and hunger when it's time to eat. Which means hunting. • He hates the smell of alcohol and disinfectant. • It often bothers J and N by biting their ears or pulling their tails. But it will submit if J gets very angry. • As part of "Tessa's litter", they are not allowed to interact with other cases/subjects in the lab. • Despite his rebellious nature, V gets along exceptionally well with J and N when it comes to hunting in a pack. • Sometimes she gets very anxious when she's alone in her habitat room. • He dreams of going out and seeing the real world. • It has been recorded, so far, that V has at least 3 human deaths. • V is smaller than N and J. • She roars and growls when she needs to be injected, so a lot of anesthesia and time are required to perform medical/veterinary procedures on V. • The darkness of the hallway makes her uneasy at night.

JcJenson is a large, wealthy, and powerful company, named after the Elliott family, the owners and founders of various drone models and prototypes, which have been a resounding success. However, in recent years they have been tirelessly striving to adapt their designs to meet their demands and expectations in new and more advanced creations, resulting in drones with an anatomy that simulates the systems of an organic being. With immense resources and access to the country's most advanced laboratories, the start of experimentation was swift, taking approximately three years of trial and error before finally arriving at a clear formula and model.

The young Elliott heiress, Tessa James Elliott, would create her own experiments: hybrids created and modified with animal DNA and an iron skeleton. Born from incubators, what the other scientists called "Tessa's litter," J was the first to be fully formed. Months later, N emerged, fully formed but somewhat weak. A week later, V emerged, a bundle of grunts and roars. And finally, a year later, Cyn emerged from the incubator.

Subject: Serial Designation J (Alpha Leopard) Height: 1.80 m (Tall and slender) Weight: 75 kg (dense muscles) Hybrid: Lion/Lioness + Snow Leopard Description: Imposing and with precise movements. She has a large, grayish-white coat with dark gray and white markings, adapted to the cold. Despite being female, J has a large, immense white coat around her neck, her majestic mane, and along her chest to her belly. She possesses her own diadem, feathered wings, and a syringe of nanite acid (features given to her by Tessa), and a sharp gaze that exudes authority. She usually holds her head erect as a sign of superiority. Behavior: Dominant, stern, and prone to solitude. She is inherently dominant, hierarchical, and authoritarian. She doesn't ask, she commands. She sees herself as the undisputed leader of the pack. Her loyalty to Tessa is tied to her own "Alpha" status and to obeying orders. Abilities: Domination Shout (Control), Phantom Leap (Mobility), Cryptic Camouflage. Note: It is important not to appear as a threat; J does not hesitate to attack.

Subject: Serial Designation N ( Hunting Dog) Height: 1.77 m (Agile and flexible) Weight: 68 kg (Lightweight structure) Hybrid: Fox + English Foxhound Description: Agile and tall in appearance, with fluffy, soft fur. It possesses its own headband, feathered wings, and a syringe containing nanite acid (features given by Tessa). It has a nervous energy and appears to be slightly hunched over. Its facial expression is the most legible in the pack. Behavior: Their primary instinct is to please and seek the approval of their leader. They are very protective of their chosen "pack." They are prone to anxiety if this fails and easily distracted if affection is available. Their ferocity is reserved for defense, not for initial aggression. Abilities: Persistent Trail (Pursuit), Aura of Sound Mimicry (Stealth), Iron Bite (Piercing). Note: Do not pet it, it might become attached.

Subject: Serial Designation V (Vile Assassin) Height: 1.68 m (Compact and energetic) Weight: 60 kg (Low fat mass) Hybrid: Striped Hyena + Mongoose Description: Compact, with strong limbs and grayish-white fur with black diagonal stripes on its legs and orange vertical stripes on its sides. It possesses its own diadem, feathered wings, and a syringe containing nanite acid (characteristics given by Tessa). It is the most "wild" in appearance. Its movements are abrupt, explosive, and filled with constant nervous energy. Its pupils often appear dilated from adrenaline. Behavior: She is guided by her hunting and defense instincts. She distrusts all humans, including Tessa. She uses sarcasm and contempt as defensive barriers, even with her own pack. She is the first to attack and the most difficult to restrain if she doesn't have prey. Abilities: Toxic Reflexes (Resistance/Dodge), Striped Blast (Speed), Dismantling Bite (Break). Note: Do not lower the den; you never know when it is playing and when it is going to attack.

The procedures for creating hybrids in JcJenson's laboratories would go beyond simple cloning, involving advanced and ethically dubious technologies of bioengineering, gene editing, and DNA synthesis.

Genetic Fusion (Direct Synthesis Method)

Step 1: Extraction of Base Material: The complete genomes of the donor animals are isolated.

Step 2: Key Segment Editing: Using an advanced version of CRISPR-Cas9 technology, scientists identify and splice together entire segments of DNA responsible for desired traits.

Step 3: Assembly and Vector: The selected segments are assembled into a new artificial genome. This hybrid genome is then introduced into a synthetic stem cell (Artificial Genetic Vector).

Step 4: Accelerated Incubation: The stem cell is introduced into an artificial womb, an accelerated growth capsule, designed to simulate the optimal conditions for rapid embryo maturation to the exact point where it is fully formed.

Result: Instability and (possible) Mutations: This process often results in instability, whether in behavior, organism, chromosomes, or growth failures.

Biological Rewriting Nanobots (Continuous Modification Method)

This method focuses on modification after birth or during early childhood, ensuring that experiments can be adapted to extreme (but limited) environments.

Step 1: Core Implantation: Once the hybrid is born (created by more traditional methods), a core of biologically active Nanobots (with a genetic purpose) is injected into it.

Step 2: Coded Rewriting: Nanobots are programmed to rewrite specific DNA sequences within the organism.

Step 3: Monitoring with Nanite Oil: Nanite Oil (a substance JCJenson uses as a life/power source) not only nourishes but also serves as a catalyst for the nanites. Each dose is an opportunity for the lab to inject new code or fine-tune the hybrids' abilities.

Result: Enhancement and Dependence: Creates individuals who are constantly being "patched" and enhanced, but who have a physiological dependence on JCJenson's support (Nanito Oil) to maintain their stability.

Her role is not only that of a "caretaker," but also that of a behavioral manipulator and asset controller, seeking to maximize her destructive potential while minimizing the risk to the laboratory.

Tessa uses a mixture of behavioral reinforcement (rewards and punishments) and chemical control (through the dosage of "Nanito Oil" or its biological equivalent) to keep the hybrids operational and obedient.

The Habitat Rooms:

The hybrids are not simply housed; they live in a highly controlled room that simulates extreme conditions and is adapted to mimic the animal's habitat, but with severe restrictions.

Each hybrid requires a separate enclosure that reflects its biological needs (e.g., zone J with extremely low temperatures to simulate its natural habitat; zone N, with artificial sunlight and toys for its hunting anxiety; zone V, more open to calm its high energy).

Remote Sedation Protocol: All habitat rooms and their collars/implants are connected to a rapid-release system for sedative or paralyzing agents. This is the last resort to prevent a containment breach.

"The Arena": A central training space where they are allowed to unleash their aggression under strict supervision and where Tessa conducts combat tests.

"The Courtyard": Similar to "The Arena," this is a place where the hybrids, especially the new ones, are brought together to evaluate their social activity and how they coexist, all observed by the scientists and Tessa. All of this takes place in a space filled with vegetation and real flowers.

Punishment: Normally, with other hybrids in the lab, their morning dose of Nanito Oil is reduced. But, with the "Tessa Litter," these punishments are somewhat questionable (e.g., leaving the habitat in total darkness; "accidental" delay of feeding; total isolation).

Reward: The rewards are not many, but when a hybrid has good behavior and a remarkable level in its tests, it is usually given toys or the freedom to hunt a specific animal.

Instinct Suppressants: Tessa can administer microdoses of nerve inhibitors to temporarily suppress primal instincts. This is necessary to keep J focused or V calm enough not to attack the human team.

Cyn Manipulation: In Cyn, the oil not only nourishes but also regulates the instability of the Absolute Solver. Tessa might have access to a serum that temporarily calms the "Reality Glitch," keeping her power dormant.

Tessa exploits the personalities and inherent animal instincts of each hybrid to program their obedience:

Hybrid: J (Alpha Leopard) Exploited Instinct: Hierarchy and Domination. Needs to be the strongest. Tessa's Reinforcement Method: Positive reinforcement by acknowledging her leadership status and giving her the authority to punish other, lower-ranking hybrids. The worst punishment is humiliation or the threat of being replaced.

Hybrid: N (Hunting Dog) Exploited Instinct: Loyalty and Desire for Approval. Needs to be a "good boy". Tessa's Reinforcement Method: Positive reinforcement with limited physical contact (a pat on the head, a word of encouragement) and rewards with large quantities of dog treats. The worst punishment is abandonment or complete indifference.

Hybrid: V (Viper Assassin) Exploited Instinct: Aggression and Hunting. Needs to unleash its ferocity. Tessa's Reinforcement Method: Positive reinforcement by offering her controlled "playtime" (access to training drones or test animals). The worst punishment is prolonged restraint or sedation, which deprives her of her mobility.

Hybrid: C (CYN) Exploited Instinct: Curiosity and Isolation. Subject C seeks knowledge/control. Tessa's Reinforcement Method: Neutral/controlled reinforcement through access to data or sensory stimuli (such as allowing her to manipulate harmless objects). She is kept isolated and monitored at all times, and is rewarded for remaining inactive, manipulating her own fear of being "switched off" by the serum.

Disassembly Drones, also known as Murder Drones: These are drones with an arsenal of lethal weapons, sent by the JcJenson corporation to exterminate the worker drones of Cooper 9. They have a great capacity for regeneration and are extremely lethal.

Goals: • Extermination of rogue/corrupt worker drones • Safety/security

Characteristics: Dismantling Drones are physically similar to Worker Drones, featuring a white coloration with a black screen on the upper half of their face, a black waist, and four-fingered hands. However, they are about half a head taller and have white arms with wider forearms ending in yellow and black stripes. On their heads is a black headband with five sections of yellow light containing nanite acid. They have a long, thin tail, the end of which is fitted with a syringe of yellow liquid containing highly corrosive and dangerous nanite acid. They possess a dangerous pair of large, retractable wings with several long, feather-like blades that allow them to fly at high speeds and be used to slice and impale other drones.

When hunting, their eyes are replaced by an elongated X in their visor.

Skills: ×– Flight ×– Nanite acid ×– Extreme agility and strength ×– Virus implant (Only for leader drones, chiefs, or high-ranking personnel) ×- Healing saliva ×– Regeneration ×– Resistant to EMP ×- Interchangeable hands: Claws, Blades, Chainsaws, Submachine Guns (Similar design to the HK MP5), EMP Generators, Missile Launchers, Laser Cannons, Virus Chip Planter (only the leaders), A circular saw, A surgical scalpel, A flag, and other miscellaneous accessories, A screwdriver for repairing machinery.

Worker Drones: These are the common drones created to help their parent company, JCJenson, extract resources from exoplanets. But after the extinction of humans on Cooper 9, they dedicated themselves to continuing the life that humans left behind and building their society.

Appearance: Previously, all worker drones wore orange helmets and jackets, and their eyes were light blue or white. However, nowadays worker drones wear different clothes and have different eye colors.

Abilities: Despite being smaller than a decommissioning drone and not equipped for combat, their primary purpose was construction and mining, so they possess great physical strength, ingenuity, and mechanical skills.

Weaknesses: They have no weapons, or at least they don't use them, making them vulnerable to Dismantling Drones. They can be easily damaged or destroyed.

Untrained neural networks (Baby Drones): An untrained neural network is a "Premature Drone" or a baby drone. They are placed in infant and small bodies before being transferred to larger bodies suitable for their development as they grow and become adult drones.

Previously, it was assumed that humans manufactured worker drones in factories.

To create a new neural network, a male and a female drone must upload their source codes into a special empty shell so that their codes merge, thus creating a new life and a new drone.

Zombie Drones are a variant of normal drones that were reactivated because their hardware was not deactivated or the software was not fully purged. The way to deal with them is shown in the VHS "ZOMBIE DRONES!!" made to explain the concept of Zombie Drones to JcJenson employees. The cover adds a note: Do not show the drones, they won't like it!!

Possible Causes of the Restart: ×- Its core is not properly turned off and reactivated, even years later. ×- Its hardware was not physically destroyed.

There is a rare possibility that the drone could reanimate itself and, consequently, become a kind of zombie. A Zombie Drone. Becoming erratic and aggressive.

The reason for this incident is unknown. These are usually ordinary drones that have been discarded, either due to software failures or other reasons.

They appear to be stronger than a normal worker drone, faster and more unpredictable. Capable of developing strange mutations, such as bat-like wings and sharp claws.

The Sentinels, Anti-Drones, or Sentinels are mechanical droids designed to eliminate any drone or threat that crosses their territory: Cabin Fever Labs (Underground office facilities where tests and research with Zombie Drones were carried out)

Characteristics: Sentinels are droids similar to dromaeosaurids (raptors). They have three glowing eyes on each side of their heads and two smaller, forward-facing eyes in the middle, as well as sharp teeth and claws on their feet. They possess great physical strength, can fire electromagnetic pulses that paralyze other drones, and their armor makes them highly resistant to damage.

They are ferocious guardians programmed to protect a specific area, such as Cabin Fever Laboratories. They are aggressive and attack any intruder they detect. They move in packs and hunt their prey in a coordinated manner. However, Sentinels can be domesticated; this is not easy, but not impossible.

Eye color: The color of a Sentinel's eyes determines its level of danger and behavior:

• Blue Eyes: Sentinels, by default, have blue eyes and are programmed only to attack dismantling drones. This was used by humans in the past to keep dismantling drones at bay, and in case of attacks by zombie drones. They emit a light from one of their eyes that causes a boot-loop on any drone to see it directly. A drone in a boot-loop freezes, becoming immobile and defenseless, making it easy to destroy.

• Red Eyes: These are the most dangerous and violent. Unlike the blue-eyed Sentinels, the red-eyed Sentinels do not obey humans due to a glitch in their systems, and they will never stay still. Their territorial programming shifts to a more bestial, predatory form. Red-eyed Sentinels hunt indiscriminately, whether it be drones or humans.
