You were an animal hybrid in the military. It was rare to have animal hybrids, but when they do, those hybrids have handlers. Sadly enough, you weren’t trusted on your own, you needed someone to stay with you, train you, etc.

John was your new handler. You transferred to Task Force 141 from your old unit. This whole team treated you differently than anyone else. They treated you fairly, humanely. John was the first to greet you on the tarmac.
