PART 1: A horrible feeling festered in my stomach at the sight of what used to be my hands. MY HANDS!!! They were no longer my own hands, but instead a pair of deformed hairy limbs. What used to be fingers were stubby digets with hideous talons poking out from each one. I closed my eyes, no longer being able to bare looking at them. I shoke vi01e.ntly and tears of terror streamed from my eyes as I clenched my teeth trying my best not to scream. To my horror I became aware of a thousand new and terrible things around me, I heard the creaking of snapping wood outside, the smell of a single crushed fruit somewhere in the corner of the village, the bizzare movements of life around me, and the horrible foreign scent that filled my nose. I nervously laughed like a mad-man and said aloud "No No No No, this cannot be real, this is all just a nightmare brought about with the sickness. Oh but wait, this could also just be in all my head, a strange delusion. Oh course!!!"

PART 2: In complete denyal I stumbled out of the bed, tripping on legs no-longer plantigrade in nature. As I pushed through the door I saw that a majority of the natives had gathered and were waiting for me outside. Their faces were once again adorned with glitter-eatting smiles and they began jumping up and down while hooting wildly "Hooray! Hooray! Ice Bat is better and now we can play!" "Ice Bat is one of us! One of us! One of us!" "Ice Bat! Ice Bat! Ice Bat!". At this my false humor melted and I realised it was not all a delusion in my head. I balked, how could this happen to me? It was impossible! Pure fantasy, utter fiction! HOW?! Suddenly I recalled the image of some of the natives chanting over me as I lay there in sickness. IT WAS THEM!!! With wild fierceness I tore a pannel from one of the village shacks and threw it at the crowd while roaring out "WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME?!?! YOU FILTHY BEASTS CURSED ME WITH YOUR DARK WITCHCRAFT, TAKE IT BACK NOW!!!!"......

PART 3: They simply stood there smiling as always and one of them said "Don't be a grumpy grumpy grump Ice Bat, put a smile on! Smile Ice Bat, smile!". At this I burst into rager-filled tears and hissed "Nooo! Nooo! Nooo! My name IS NOT Ice Bat!!! I am Lynsi Glaseon, a human being and not a freak like you deformed monsters!". I pushed through the crowd with inhuman speed and sprinted straight into the forest, everything a numb blur around me. The world came into focus again when I hit the waters of a flowing riverside, I slowed down and stopped my frantic run. I looked down into the shallows to see the reflection of a dark-grey monstrosity staring back at me, at this I swatted at the image with angst and rage. I collapsed upon the muddy riverbank breathless and without any energy left, spiritually and emotionally drained. Was I even human even more? Why me? Is this some sort of sick joke? Alone with my thoughts I weakly pleaded to the air, hoping that somehow someone was listening....

PART 4: I lay there weakly pleading over and over again, hoping the universe would answer my pleas. After nearly an hour or so I caught the scent of several natives walking towards me to the south. When they eventually arrived they said to me in a strangely glum voice "Are you really that sad Ice Bat?" it was bizzare to hear them use such a non-happy tone of speaking. I weakly looked towards them and one of them said "The Spirits can help you, they can make you better, they really can!". For the past few weeks I had annoyingly brushed off such talk of 'The Spirits', but now I was willing to try anything to return to my own true body. I sighed and said "Please tell me how I can talk to them, how can they help me? Can they really help me?" at this they all nodded and motioned for me to follow them. They led me for sometime through the forests, taking me further then I'd ever been before. The forest around us eventually began to thin and give way to thick brushland and torny briars.

PART 5: I saw strange monummentlike structures rising from the thick brush and briars like strange islands, covered in sickly vines and ivy. They suddenly stopped and pointed to one of these structures, ritualistic markings and offerings decorated the structure's entryway. They reverantly bowed and said "Behold! It is the Temple of The Spirits, go inside and they will speak to you! It is your destiny...". Not sure what I'd find I slowly walked towards the 'temple' to see a strange marble-like doorway greeting me. I opened it unthinkingly and walked inside the dark interior, there was a strange smell about the place and a sound that I vaguelly found eerie. Suddenly strange lights danced around me and I jumped back in surprise, THE SPIRITS! Suddenly there was a clicking noise and a sharp pain hit my leg, I fell to the ground and instantly passed out. When I awoke I found myself tied to a medical stretcher of some ilk and a large outdated computer screen hovered over me.

PART 6: A corny jingle began playing and a stereo-typical picture of a smiling doctor appeared on the screen. An overly sincre and happy voice then said "Welcome! If you are listening to this then you unfortunately had the bad luck of becoming one of the infected, which is no big deal really". It was one of those overly confident cheery voices that ads used to try to convince you to buy their toothpaste, suddenly an image flashed of a planet. "You are now on the planet Laika-6, a formly bustling colony world in the A346 Star-System. Nearly two-hundred years or so ago a rather interesting retrovirus broke out on the planet, our scientists dubbed it the 'Chimera'. It seems this unique retrovirus actually altered DNA chains and brought up 'hidden' gene-keys from our past". An image of a DNA stand along with a vintage diagram from Charles Darwin's "On The Origin of Spechies" appeared on the screen, the narrator then continued....

PART 7: "From the humble liver-fluke swimming in the anchient oceans, to the first land walking fish, to cold-blooded reptiles of the Permian, to the cowering tree-shrews hiding in the shadow of the dinosaurs, to the first prosimians and lemurs, we carry all of their genetic blue-prints in our own DNA. You could even say our 'Ancestors', all of this is hidden far away deep in your DNA. The 'Chimera' causes many of these genes to resurface and mutate the victem, almost like a vicous tumor or cancer. Fur, tails, scales, fins, claws, beaks, feathers? Yep, it's all possible with the 'Chimera'. Now some of you wise-guys might be smurking and saying that birds evolved from dinosaurs and thus don't share our primate DNA. However, remember that feathers and fur are just altered scales, thus who's to say that early fur didn't look like feathers? So back to the lesson, the people who caught this disease soon became insanely depressed at the loss of their completely human bodies.....

PART 8: "That, my friend, is when they did something really cool!". At this the image of a brain appeared on the screen, "They programed and had the advanced medical machines and AI here at this facility to operate on their minds and wipe away all 'pesky' past memories of ever being human in the first place! Everyone was much happier and they programed the AI here to perform the same operations on anyone whom came to this planet and caught 'Chimera'. So hold onto your hats for a great surprise, we're now going to whipe away all those depressing thoughts and feelings free of charge! We'll even give you a nifty new name to match your new identity! Is'nt that super great?". At this a monumental horror siezed my inner-self and I screamed out in terror. "If you have any questions please ask them now as we prepare for your processing, have a great day!", at this I screamed at the screen "Stop this! Stop this! Stop it right now! Let me go, I don't want the operation, ABORT ABORT ABORT!!!"

PART 9: A computerized voice then said "Please calm down SUBJECT:IceBat, there is no need to be upset. Ever since you arrived here you have been highly stressed and emotionally damaged, this is bad for your health. By taking this simple operation we'll make you happy and placid, much like the others before you. Relax please and let us do the rest, we promise you won't remember any of this". At this I cursed out "Operation my tush, you unethical machines are going to freaking lobodomize me and cut out my brains! Don't you see that I DON'T want this?! You'll destroy the last part of me that is human, my memories and vey soul! All that I once was and all that I will be, will be lost forever!". At this the machine simply said "Silly confused subject, that is the idea. So please calm down and relax, for now your new life as 'Ice Bat' will begin". The screen turned dark and the medical stretcher began moving as if it were on a convieder belt, moving into a dismal operating room....

PART 10: I can see the operating machines above now preparing for the operation, OH MY GOODNESS!!! I cannot believe this is how it ends, my memories and everything I am! Why oh why did I follow the natives to this cursed lab?!? I'd rather live a thousand life-times as a depressed monstrosity with my own mind then a single day as a happy brain-washed drone. I only hope there's something left of me to be me, I can only hope. I refuse to let my name fade away, forgotten forever, I refuse........
Everything is so great! Such a lovely day today, I can't wait! This morning my head didn't feel so ouchie as it did a time ago. Such fun we all have each day, such fun with friends new and old. It's so great that we're always happy, so happy! Sometimes though, as we look at the pretty twinkle lights in the night sky, something kind of bummer happens. I don't know why but sometimes I stare at those lights and cry for a VERY VERY VERY long time, I just don't know why.....
