Since the dawn of time, humans have demonstrated abilities far beyond the of what's physically possible, a mother lifting a several hundred pound car to save her trapped child, a man taking a bullet to the chest and continuing to move forward, most call these acts nothing more than a burst of adrenaline, i can say, of the utmost certainty, they are more than that.
The year is 2117, it's been over a decade since The Connection was discovered. The Connection is a dormant strain of genes found inside the human body, that when put under extreme emotional distress, causes the affected human to establish their Connection. A Connection is a link to an animal, most consider this to be their spirit animal, but that truly has no link to this, a Connection is founded by the type of stress, and the situation you're in. If a mother's child is trapped under a car, her body will most likely establish a Connection to an animal closely related to strength, such as an elephant, or a gorilla.
Not everyone has this ability though, only certain people can truly unlock the gene, others will have it for a brief instance. Studies have shown the chances of a brief instance of a Connection, are one in one thousand, whereas an actual link with the animal is one in five hundred thousand. A link is a form of connection, that's more stable, meaning with practice and proper exercise one may be able to unlock the abilities of their Connection permanently.
