Is your profile pic a recreational nukes joke?

Yeah looks like it

What I'm saying is that there are a lot of immitators.

Oh yeah most likely

No idea who made Right Wing Death Squads.

My avatar I stole it from somewhere

I wanna know so I can buy that guy a drink

Ok finally got this.

Here's the chapter fragment. Fair warning. It is six pages and just kind of ends. I am open to suggestions and questions.

Also keep in mind I wrote this well over ten years ago.

Oh shit let me get that before pls no delete

@Grumplebee You could have a very pure team of recreants engineer synthetic versions of genes to make them the Übermensch.

More effective versions of certain human intelligence-granting genes.

Maybe a more effective allele of FOX2P than what even humans have.

I'm not gonna delete it.

As to the very pure thing here's what's going on with them.

They're really more of a cult than anything, and none of them have the sophistication to do that kind of thing. In the greater story human gene manipulation was kind of a dead end.

As mentioned they create their most sophisticated ones via genetic alteration in utero. Something they abducted the guy writing the chapter to help them with.

Because they are predominately male. They've taken to abducting women (for use in creation of third gen recreants) and children (to produce second gens). Their goal is to create a Fourth Generation recreants. The offspring of two thrid generations. Theoretically capable of producing more fourth gens if they can get at least one breeding pair.

But the closest they've gotten to that is the chacter that shows up at the very end. He's an exile from their society for obvious reasons. But he follows the camp for numerous reasons.

This whole story is based on three real life things: My childhood experience in the coast range of Oregon, specifically that story I was telling about my great aunt encountering some bad business in the middle of nowhere, Furries (obviously), and the Rajneeshpuram cult described in this video. https://youtu.be/Gwx9nqknu-c

@Grumplebee What doesn't make sense is the stirrups, an evil human invention.

Especially given that they actually make childbirth harder and more damaging for women, the healthy way is to squat.

Also, the deformities.

That does not look much like "genetic mixing" of different human-animal hybrids.

They are really bad at the whole evil human technology thing.

I don't know how even we would be able to produce such an creature.

It's a combination of the altered genetic strands of the parents combined with the human DNA trying to reassert itself.

They did not invent this tech. They merely co opted it.

They aren't a group of renegade scientists. They're a religious cult.

They're whole history is a comedic bunch of fail.

Oh forgot to mention, they are also based a bit on the Free Man on the Land Movement.

It's not that it sounds like it's written ABOUT people who know little about biology.

It sounds like it's written BY someone who knows little about biology.

Their founder (now deceased) tried to argue that he could not be arrested and prosceuted for a crime because his alterations meant he wasn't human.

Not the biggest expert on biology I've got to admit. So that is a fair cop. However, in my defense this was written in 2005 and our knowledge of how we'd even go about altering the human genome was a bit less.

"Not the biggest expert on biology"
Understatement of the decade.

Also, this:

"It's a combination of the altered genetic strands of the parents combined with the human DNA trying to reassert itself."

In genetics, we call that "nonsense".

Not a "nonsense mutation", just nonsense.
