Twelve years ago, a scientist known as James tanner began experimenting with Biological Technology, the idea was that with the right technology, any human being, young or old, male or female, sick or healthy could be torn apart in any way, shape or form, and be fixed. This of course came to be much more complex than that. Prosthetic limbs and pacemakers were one thing, but tanner was talking about mechanical organs, artificial spines, remote blood cells, seemingly making a human anything but a human, and James was more than happy to prove it.
James started out by using prisoners doomed to execution as experiments. At first he started small by taking out their bones and replacing them with polymers shaped identical to their bones, the subjects never noticed the difference. He than went to further lengths, switching their spines for polymers as well, and then to metal. None of the patients seemed to notice the differences, fascinated by how inorganic materials can keep people functioning, James considered removing the organs from a human and replacing them with machines. Like before he started small, going for one of two kidneys in a subjects body if they had both, though it look longer, it kept them at previous health.
With that, James Tanner became enthralled in biotechnology.
Soon after ensuring in the subjects health, tanner took a leap of faith and constructed a mechanical lung, found the healthiest subject he could and replaced one of their lungs with it, the subject took time to adapt to the breathing, but ultimately survived. Tanner was ecstatic when he noticed this, and wondered so many options, a full arm, a heart, or maybe even an entire body? The thought were swirling in his head as he called for more subjects to test these thoughts, before they arrived he would do research on the biology of the parts he wanted to recreate, and would make sure that it wouldn't kill the subject in the process, when they did arrive, he was more than ready to go to work.
James spent another few years developing entire bodies to store the human mind in, by this time he had perfected synthetic organs and limbs. Most of his major tests killed his subjects after, the longer a subject survived after a major test, the more promise they showed, from simple body mass to blood compatibility to major organs and limbs. Over time these subjects seemed more robotic than human, all the while tanner would refuse to tell a soul about his breakthroughs, no subject would work up the courage to tell the authorities because they knew what he could do to them if they even dared.
James studied the subjects and recorded their life span after major testing, if they lasted more than 10 minutes he would keep an eye on them, if they lasted more than an hour he would use them for future experiments, this system determined how likely a subject was to continuously be ripped apart, pieced back together and changed in some way, again and again, if they died during the tests, they were nothing to him, if they lived long after, he would perfect them with failure, if this killed them, he would keep searching until he found the perfect combination of man and machine, something that can survive on nothing, something that doesn't need to feel, smell or learn.
"Kill me, PLEASE, JUST KILL ME!" "Make-it-stop-make-it-stop-make-it-STOP-MAKE-IT-STOP-MAKE-IT-STOP!!!!""Wh-yyy, Why wont you let me die?!" "I can't take it anymore! I CAN'T!" "P-P-PLEASE!! JUST LET ME S-SEE MY FAMILLLLY AGG-AGAIN!!"
And after 10 years of insanity, bloodshed and horror, he did just that, he created the perfect combination of human biology and machine, these thing didn't understand what they were, most we confused, and the ones who knew what happened were traumatized, they were butchered, torn apart like puzzle pieces, chopped up more, pieces replaced by thing that shouldn't work with human anatomy, turned, removed, added, inverted and changed in so many ways, and then put back together like some toy. They were driven insane, wanting to die, knowing some couldn't in a million years no matter what. They couldn't be called humans or machines, not even the name "Monster" fit right. No one who had the misfortune to go into the abandoned labs would know what to call them, they themselves didn't. To this day, a select few of Tanners "creations" still live on, being kept alive by the monstrosities that make them up.
These people...These things...What ever you'd prefer to call them.
They shouldn't exist
