I1 - Are Gene Modifications Going Too Far?
Pictured above: File photo of a “Bronze Pangolin Dragon" style dermal modification first made available by Humanitech last year in October. Recent advancements in consumer genetic modification technology have given rise to...
1 - Gev
Gev regained consciousness slowly, his thoughts still smothered by anaesthetic. He was regaining feeling in his body piece by piece. And each of those pieces was _changed._ He took a deep breath, the feeling of his nostrils taking in...
8 - Lost
Kai managed to tolerate the Humanitech security agents guiding him and Amon into an elevator deep within the core of the sprawling Genetic Modification Clinic. Barely. A simmering resentment at his captivity mixed with disdain at the fact that the...
3 - A Train Ride
Gev readjusted his earbuds for what must have been the hundredth time since boarding the train. It still didn't help the horrific screeching it made as it coasted through the city on it's aging rails. The sound never used to bother him...
4 - Coffee and Dreams
Gev exited his apartment on a cool fall morning a few days after meeting Rax on the train. He hadn’t been able to stop thinking about their conversation. About seeing that dragon in the alley. Would the same thing happen to him? To his friends online?...
7 - Jaws Closing In
Gaius stared out the window of his office, trying to think of a way to save his life's work. The view from the ninety-third floor was magnificent. From the skyscrapers that stretched out below him in the foreground, to the river twisting back and forth...

Gev sipped his coffee as he walked down the street. The scent filled his nostrils more fully than it ever had as a human, and let him pick out every minute aspect of the beverage. Rich earth tones, dark berries, the faint and unwelcome chemical residue...
5 - Rax's Checkup
Rax looked outside the window in the small, bright and sterile examination room in the Humanitech gene clinic. The sun had set hours ago, and the lights of passing autocabs and drones painted flashing streaks across the nighttime cityscape. Each of...
The Tree
The storm last night had been more intense than any Korozar had seen before. While he waited it out in the safety of his cave high up on the mountain, the forest below didn't fare nearly so well. The forest floor was strewn with debris and uprooted...
9 - Mind's Eye
Gev took another sip of tea. He’d opted not to go for pearls this time. He found they weren’t as enjoyable without Human molars to chew them with. That didn’t seem to deter Rax or Xathlor though. They _somehow_ happily chewed their pearls as they...
10 - Protest
The sound became clearer as Gev walked down the street with Xath and Rax. The distant roar of angry voices was sharply contrasted by the empty streets that surrounded them. The three Dragons were in the heart of downtown, flanked by dizzyingly...
