Hybrids often had a hard time in the army. They were treated more like animals, as a tool that could be used to achieve a goal and spend as little resources as possible on maintaining it.

Keegan often faced harassment at the military base, despite the presence of the handler (you). The privates constantly teased him, sometimes insulted him, ignored him, or threw things at him, forcing Russ to carry them like an obedient dog, not daring to confront them. He was too scared to tell even you, the only person who could help.
