Spoiler for chapter four, "It was dark. No, wait. I was in a void. I could see myself. I was illuminated by a light that wasn’t there. But I wasn’t alone. In front of me, four other creatures approached. One of them looked like me, but albino and much larger. Another one looked like me, but with a shorter, rounder snout and was slightly larger than me. One of them looked like a Velociraptor with wings. The final one looked sort of like a Tyrannosaurus Rex, but that is just me being generous. Sure, lots of traits on it resembled a Tyrannosaurus, but it had other traits that made it look like something else entirely. The creature had a bulbous head with two extra-long arms along with its shorter ones. 'What are you?' I asked. 'We are your predecessors,' the creatures spoke in unison. 'We are the hybrids and mutants who came before you. We are killing machines, just like you!'"
