In 2226, humans discovered the method of engineering new and unusual life forms through constructing amino acids in the John F. Kennedy labs on Alpha Centauri 4. The discovery of the Deinonochus gene in 2231 was a one in a million find. They injected the DNA into a human subject and the gene caused him to mutate. He slowly and painfully transformed into a raptor and the scientists placed him in a holding cell as the mutation took full effect, the Deinonochus genome altered the human protiens to match its own, the "virus" took over the hosts nervous system and increased testosterone levels, making him more aggressive, all emotions are blocked out except for anger, rage and the instinct to kill. Scientists discovered this DNA can easily be tranfered through blood and saliva, like the Rabies virus.
John is in the main lab complex with hundereds of other scientists, hard at work. He is studying a cluster of bacteria under a microscope when gun shots ring out and die out as soon as they began, a bunch of raptors bust into through the door. Joe grabs his side arm from the holster and starts shooting, "SON OF A BITCH!" he screams as he his jumped on by a raptor in a tatered and torn guard uniform. John holds up his arm to ward off the raptor. The preaditor bites John's arm, the teeth sink into the his flesh, he shoots the raptor in the heart and starts shooting at more. Fifteen minutes later, nearly all of the scientists are dead and the raptors are gone, John starts to show the first symptoms of the sickness. "OH GOD!" he yells as he bends over and throws up a blood red puke. His whole body feels as if it's being torn apart, he manages to let out a blood curling scream before blacking out from the pain. He wakes up hours later, feeling like he isn't himself. He slowly gets up and immediatley notices he's standing differently, he looks down at his foot, claws are protruding from his shoes, he notices a tail coming out of his rear. "OH NO! I'M INFECTED!" he maons as he feels his control slip away each minute. "I can't let this sick creation take over me! I must get rid of it!" he moans as he staggers to the quarintine area, he notices the radiation chamber at the entrance/exit to the lab complex, "The right dose of raditation should neutralize the infection before it has time to take over me!" John moans as he closes the hatch and hits a red button on the wall to activate it and passes out once more from another wave of intense pain.
