It began with an undercover government agency, and agency experimenting with genetic breeding, their goal to develop and enhance specific mental powers--to create teeks. But not everone was willing to be a guinea pig, and have their children turned into some sort of monstrous mutation--so some of the experiments escaped. But now the agency was deterimined to track them down no matter what the cost. And with loyal teeks doing the hunting, how could they fail?... "
