Chapter 1 - The Collection

2045 Somewhere in Kazakhstan

A helicopter flies through the snowy breeze of the snowy mountain peaks of Kazakhstan. "This is SE-9 requesting for landing, I repeat this is SE-9 requesting for landing" said the pilot to the landing site. "Received site B is clear for landing, I repeat site B is clear for landing" replied back from the landing site. As the helicopter lands on the helipad next to a mountain cave a man who's wearing white coat and a group of armed people get off from the helicopter. While the armed group of people started to unpack their things a man wearing a leather coat and ski beanie walked up to the man with the white coat.

"Is it true, Did the excavation team found the site" asked the man with white coat.

"Yes Dr Vincent the site is under control and extractions are in progress, please follow me this way sir" replied the man with beanie hat.

"Kenny grab the case and follow leave the rest to the other" shouted Dr Vincent who was wearing the white coat to the group who are unloading the luggage form the helicopter.

As Dr Vincent shouted a man wearing the bullet proof vest a baklava and orange vision googles followed Dr Vincent.

Three of them walked into the cavern of the mountain next to the landing site. As they walked into the cave fossils of prehistoric fish, incomplete fossils and shells stuck onto the surface of the cave.

"You see that Kenny? Even after researching over 20 years nature never failed to amaze me" said Dr Vincent to Kenny while touching the shells on the floor.

"Dr Vincent we are here , this is what the excavation team found" said the man while point up to the roof of the cave.

"There's no word to describe this but magnificent, Kenny start the extraction now" said Dr Vincent while gazing upon the fossils of Dunkleosteus and Helicorpion.

4 years ago, Standford University 2041

"Dr Simons Dr Simons the event is about start" said a woman alerting Dr Simons for the university's science fair.

Dr Simons finishes up by tying up his necktie and walked downstairs where the event will be held.

A few minutes later a man walked up to the stage and started to talk to audience.

"Good Morning to all the competitors and visitors, I would like to give a warm welcome to our annual science fair of Standford. Today our top students will compete to be crowned winner of this year. The winner will get a full scholarship of the course they are studying and will have a chance to work with one of the top scientist in the world please welcome Professor Simon Emery" said the man while welcoming Dr Simon up the stage.

Dr Simons walked up to the stage gave a speech. "Hello everyone it's an honor to be here with all of you but please remember there can only be one winner Thank you everyone I can't wait to meet the competitors" said Dr Simons

"Please welcome Ben Koeman and Derrick Harrison representing the engineering faculty"

Ben and Derrick came up to the stage with a wide screen tv to present their invention.

"Hello everyone have you even went cage diving to see sharks but it's uncomfortable because of the scuba suit and the safety of the cage, well if you find uncomfortable say goodbye to that because we created a new diving pod which we were inspired by the sleeping pods ladies and gentlemen please observe our creation from the screen as our good friend Mike will display it live from the Atlantic ocean." said Ben.

As Ben said his speech the screen transferred call to Mike who is inside some sort of pod like cage which kind of looks like a space pod from movies.

"Yo what's up everyone it's your boy Mike inside the creation of my good homies Ben and Derrick shout out to the Engineering faculty" said Mike. As he said that Ben and Derrick took out their controllers and started moving to control Mike's pod.

Derrick took the headphones from Ben and asked " Mike this is Derrick if you don't want to die listen on your right there's oxygen mask the locker on your right have diving suits and rift balloons and the door underneath is emergency escape you understand ?"

Mike nods his head to the camera live streaming above his head.

Soon the crane near the pod lifts up the pod and released it into the sea.

When the pod reaches to the deep part where light becomes dimmer and dimmer the lights placed on the pod lights up revealing all the reefs and sea creatures around the pod. The pod have two small windows which let the person inside the pod to see both back and front of the pod. After that Ben uses the crane to pull up the pod with the connect chains.

After this presentation many other scientific projects are displayed to the public and at last it's time for Vincent Hecox the top student from the faculty of Bio genetics.

Vincent pulled up a trolley which have 2 boxes stacked like object above covered with red cloth.

"Greetings everyone I'm Vincent Hecox from faculty of Bio genetics and let me ask a question to you Dr Simons in your book DNA and Me you stated that mixing DNA and engineering the genetics of a creature is impossible because of mother nature and even if you succeeded it will destroy it self due to it being unfit in the hierarchy of food chain correct ?" asked Vincent to Dr Simons.

"Well yeah scientists around the world have attempted to make hybrids by breeding or genetically modified all of them have miserably as the creature created does not understand it's rank in the hierarchy of the food chain. A few zoos have Ligers have you seen any Liger that is healthy and providing it's contribution to the life cycle ?" Dr Simon asked back.

"That is where I want to show my point ladies and gentlemen I present you the hybrids of the future" said Vincent as he remove the red cloth revealing 2 creatures

"I present the Snoose the hybrid of goose and snake and this beauty is ParaShark the hybrid of a bull shark and a red bellied piranha".

The crowd gasped in shock, the professors couldn't believe what they were seeing.

"Young man do you have any idea what in the bloody hell you've just created" asked Dr Simon with a furious voice.

"Yes I created a beauty a creature of the future" said Vincent with a calm voice.

Dr Simons and the judges of the event were shocked to hear the response. "I want to see you at the office !" shouted Jacob Lexington one the professor from Standford University.

Because of this chaos the event was cancelled and attendees of the event were shut to talk about this to the public.

"Hecox how the hell did you create these uhmm these monsters are you out of your mind ?" said Jacob Lexington with rage.

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

"I did what I believe in it not because I wanted to win the science fair I used my field of study to innovate there's no madness in this" replied Vincent with a calm voice.

"Hybrids bring no benefit to the nature it's a forbidden sin what gives you an idea to cross breed those creatures" said Dr Simon while pointing at the 2 cages with hybrid creatures.

"They were not cross bred I made them by genetically modifying their DNA while they were not even in embryo state I switched the father's DNA which I refer to as modification DNA and the modified DNA fuses and fixes the genetic errors which causes hybrids diseases. That's right I created hybrids without genetic errors" said Vincent .

Dr Lexington stood up and looked above the ceiling and shook his head "Look Vincent I notice your intelligence but I'm sorry the university needs to have a good reputation. I'm sorry but you're expelled" .­­­­­­­

Vincent stood up and opens the office door and before leaving he said " Thank you now I can pursue my research freely" with a smirk on his face.

2 years later , Utah Fossil Site, 2043

"Hey Vincent any updates on the fossil ? You've been looking that skull since yesterday." said the man holding a pickaxe. "This is not a normal fossil Joe, look at this place between the bones there's still some extractable genetics on this" answered Vincent while looking at a skull of a Utahraptor from the microscope. At that time the door of the trailer opened and a man said "Vincent I think you have a visitor"

As he said a man who looks kind of chubby but not fat with a full suit, sunglasses and holding a suitcase walked into the trailer. "Excuse me gentlemen I'm looking for Vincent Hecox who studied in Standford a few years ago" said the man.

Vincent leaves his microscope and asked the man with the pickaxe to close the windows and doors and to leave them alone. As the man walk out Vincent asked the man "How did you know I'm from Standford." "The people at Standford are really good at hiding their student's profiles but it's no problem if you are with people from high places."replied Tommy. "What do you want?" quickly asked Vincent

"Oh no no no I don't want anything from you. I came here to give you an offer, an offer you won't decline" said Tommy while pushing his briefcase slowly towards to Vincent

As Vincent opened the briefcase he immediately looked back at Tommy and smiled.

2046 , Alaska , DNA Headquarters

Tommy Abraham and a man walked into the headquarters and through the tunnel which is like an aquarium. "I'm telling you man you've got to invest in this , this is a guaranteed big bucks maker" said Tommy.

"I know aquarium and theme parks bring in big bucks but how can we ignore the maintenance and labor costs and even if we able to cover that the people will lose interest sooner or late" replied the man

"Believe in the scientists wait Hey Ken! Long time no see buddy" said Tommy to a scientist.

"Oh hey Tommy are you here for the meeting with Dr Vincent" replied the scientist.

"Oh yeah by the way Michale this is Kenny Scout he's a ummm wait what do you actually do here ?" said Tommy

"DNA Analysist and Cell Engineer nice to meet you mister Mi umm Mich" said Ken while trying to shake hands with Michale.

"Vox Michale Vox Director of BOC Energies" said Michale and shook Ken's hand.

"Both of you are searching for Dr Vincent right? Please follow this way" said Kenny.

"You see Michale these guys can make your average aquariums way more exciting. You would not believe what Dr Vincent have done with his studies" Tommy and Michale talking while following Dr Ken.

"We are here gentlemen"said Dr Ken after walking through the aquarium glass tunnel path.

"WHAT IS THAT" Michale shouted while pointing at a glass incubator.

Dr Vincent turned around and looked at the direction where Michale was pointing .

"Oh you mean that just a little experiment" said Dr Vincent. The object which Michale point was 6 incubators holding 3 dolphins and 3 sharks surrounding a larger incubator which was holding a dark unknown creature.

Dr Vincent walked up to Tommy and Michale " Vincent Hecox how may I help you" said Dr Vincent while handing out his hand.

"What is that thing in that tank "Michale asked with a worried voice.

"Like I said just a simple experiment for the park" replied Dr Vincent

"I have no idea what that thing is but if you can keep creating those things, we are not bringing in just big bucks we are grabbing every single penny from the visitors and oh yeah Vincent this is Michale Vox he is really interested in your umm let just say creations" said Tommy with excitement.

"Oh, really it's great to hear the funds we receive from the government aren't enough for us to cover the research facilities we are looking forward to working with you," said Dr Vincent

"BOC is ready to cover any electricity and research funds but in return we would like to get something in return," said Michale.

"And what would that be?" said Vincent

Sheffield Fossil Museum, United Kingdom 2047

"Ladies and Gentlemen, we are pleased to announce the new Paleozoic Era exhibit is now open to public, Today will be free to examine the fossils and exhibits on Platform 4 don't forget to grab souvenirs from the gift shop on Platform 5, we hope to see you again "voices from the speaker.

"Professor Stewart Professor Stewart how were you able to collect all those fossils from the Paleozoic era" asked from the media.

"Good question for the past few years we've been sending excavation crews to fossil sites around the world we've been - "

"BOOM" an explosion occurred at a nearby wall.

"Move! Move! Move!" shouted by a fully armed soldier bursting through from the explosion of the wall "Grab every fossil you can "

"Guards stop them!" ordered Professor Stewart but with terrified people panicking guards couldn't get near the attackers.

The attackers took all the fossils and bones they could and one of the raider threw a smoke grenade allowing them to escape.

2 weeks after the attack of Sheffield Fossil Museum

"Welcome to the show Days of Future brought to you by Niko Mata airing live from Channel 365. Tonight we have a special guest Professor Jacob Lexington from Standford University. He's a well know researcher in paleontology and a fossil expert. It's a pleasure that you could be in our show tonight" said the TV presenter Niko Mata.

"Ah yes a pleasure from me too" said Dr Lexington.

"So on tonight's show we are extremely keen to know furthermore on the projects you and the Serbian Paleozoic Conservation are working on" asked the TV presenter.

"Well right now I also have my academic duties but still I helped my crew in some carbon dating of the fossils we've recently found in Siberia and Utah. Oh yeah and also we need volunteers who could work in field of bio engineering from around the world to join us you can submit your admissions in both Standford and Conservation website we've made a form for that" said Prof Lexington.

"Oh well I was not expecting that but as another question in hand, we would like to ask how can this project ... um let's say Project: Paleozoic how is the progress and how can that discovery could effect our days of the future "Asked Niko

" excellent question I have only 2 words for that "evolution" and "genetics" my friend the earth has been testing our survival instincts for billions of years, to be able to research finest DNA samples we need the finest engineers, biologists, physicists and researchers and to get that much people we will need the best education system all of them are linked like spider-webs that is the future my friend" said Prof Lexington

Dr. Vincent picks up the remote and clicks the TV closed.

"Evolution? Hun the days of future haven't started yet "Dr Vincent whispered.

2 Days Later

"This just in Niko Mata reporting a breaking news as the American Museum of Natural History, Taebaek Museum and Museum of Natural History Serbia have been raided by unknow group of raiders, these events occurred a same time so the officials believe that the raid is linked to the attack of Sheffield Museum a few weeks ago This is Niko Mata reporting and out see you later on Channel 365 for more news uncovered - "

"This just in an accident occurred in Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History Washington DC and Senckenberg Museum Frankfurt have been raided by unknown group of raiders and - "

"Breaking news an accident in DNA BioNTech's laboratory LA and a huge flame is spreading across, sources say an experiment fuse to break down and cause an electric overcharge - "

As the news are being displayed and played on the monitors a shadowy figure turns around it's swivel chair and Dr Kenny Scout standing in front with other 6 shadowy people siting beside the man.

"The incubation is a success when can we start the transporting to the island" asked Dr Ken.

"Is the construction finished?" asked the person in the shadow sitting on the chair.

"The labor camp, and utilities are online; the team is on the case for railways and the exhibitions they expect to finish the whole operation in 8 years" replied Kenny.

"8 years 8 years very well a small time compared to what I've waited" said the man.

2048 One Year After the DNA biotech's Accident

"Thank you everyone for attending today's memorial for the fallen innocent souls taken away on this day last year's accident they will be remembered forever in the records of DNA's records and also I would like to invite Dr Vincent to the stage" said Han Austin the founder of DNA Biotech

"Thank you for having me, Mr. Austin, and as you all know I've worked under the Serbian Paleozoic Conservation of many years and the SPC have not collaborate with any private bio techs but on today as a great news I would like to announce the collaboration between the SPC and DNA Bio Tech. We will try providing the people around the world a new future filled with excitement and happiness." speech is given by Dr Vincent

Dr Vincent saw Tommy and Kenny waiting outside the crowd and Kenny noded as they see Dr Vincent. As Vincent left both of them also went into a room near the lab. When Dr Vincent walked into the room looked back whether he's being followed or not he's greeted by Tommy, Kenny and a man standing in the shadow.

"The Government ........ it's on our tails" said the man in the shadows.

2050 2 Years After the Collaboration of SPC And DNA

"This is Rebecca Blanc reporting as breaking news the fossil raiding are reoccurring around the world's top museums even though the security is unpassable the officials still have no idea how - "

"This just in fossil mines across the US have been raided by unknown armed groups the CIA and FBI are on the case but it's has been 3 years since the first fossil raid and still no evidence is left behind " news is being played on the monitors behind.

"Is the list complete ? anymore spices left to collect? "Asked the shadowy figure.

Dr Vincent picked up the paper and a suitcase on the table in front of the man.

"No need we've collected enough these should be enough" said Dr Vicent

"Alright remember one thing in your mind "said the man and started smoking a cigar.

"That I want you to spread terror across the globe not create petting zoos "said the man while breathing out the smoke.

"Don't worry about that worry about the investigations behind our tails "replied back from Dr Vincent as he grabbed the papers and suitcase and left the room.

Same Time, Metropolitan Swimming Pool, Brooklyn 2050

"Hey Mary! Is the class over now? "a man asked to a lady drying her hair near the pool basin.

"Yeah, Just a sec Henry I just have to pack my stuff" answered Mary Redwoods while brushing her hair with a towel.

"Oh, ok and is it ok if I take you out for dinner tonight?" asked Henry Halls while standing next to the exit.

"Yeah of course where are we meeting?" replied Mary

"Downtown at 7pm it's, ok?"

"Yeah, I'll see you soon."

"Great I'll be waiting" said Henry and left the building.

A mysterious person was observing the scene as Henry walked out of the view.

He touched his right ear which turned on his ear bud "Sir the data you gave is affirmed she's with someone and are going to another place. What should I do next sir?" said the mysterious man.

"Good I want you to follow both of them and report everything you see" said Dr Vincent on phone and hung up.

"Mary Mary Mary you have yet to see what I'vedone" whispered Dr Vincent.
