These animals seemingly appeared out of nowhere, and no one knows where they are coming from or truly what animals they are a combination of," the news ancher fumbled with the papers on her desk, "and now to Jim O'Neil who is in the African savanna as we speak.

The year is 2099. Seemingly out of nowhere, a mysterious new company has arisen. Its influence spans all the way from the east to the west, and its power only continues to grow. Rumors of its secretive facilities around the world never last very long; the people who start those rumors are soon silenced. This company, known to many as GFC, hold a tight grasp over many in power, and the United Nations is even considering giving its founder a voice in their meetings. However, GFC's founder and leader, Mr. Sarek stated that "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few," and he explained that he could not join the United Nations, as he must focus on maintaining the quality of his products for men and women who rely on them world-wide. This is the story of a man who discovers GFC's dirty secret.

A series of short stories written for Sci-Friday challenges.

Life on a spacestation is monotonous to say the least. When you work 5 days a week for a pittance with less than half a chance to move up in the world, and the girl you like works in the red district... Jade Godwill is miserable but content. The one place he can let loose is the Old World History complex that, ironically, only androids seem to care about. When servant mech droids begin turning on their masters and killing, the answer lies in this place. And surprise, surprise only Jade can find it. This was written for Project Constellations, but I didn't finish it on time. My first ever proper story (let alone SCI-FI) that I promise will be updated...
