Way back in the late Sixties, the world's ten most
powerful nations took it upon themselves to create a super
warrior, their initial brief being to simply make a new man,
immune to terrible effects of nuclear weapons. Silently and
diligently they worked, their brief expanding as the
developments they made in the field of genetic engineering
allowed them to do more. And do more they did. More and
more.
It was decided that the creature would have to be able to
withstand the cold of the Russian wastelands, and so they
gave it a thin fur and thick subcutaneous layers of fat.
They endowed it with natural receivers of radio and
microwave signals, allowing it to 'hear' incoming
transmissions. They gave it powerful ears, able to function
as an accurate range finder, to detect sonar activity, and
they gave it large eyes to see distant air targets, and to
detect the flash of a laser lock-on.
Although perfect for their tasks, the creatures were not
born as fighters, they were back up crews working as
engineers and support for troops. They were given a mild
manner in order to get on well with the troops, and this can
clearly be seen in them.
The Stage one TT beings, are now obsolete. In fact, they
were rendered such by their successors only a few years
after they were initially made. The BBC currently shows a
fly-on-the-wall documentary about the last four Stage ones
alive. This series was only permitted by the MOD as it
believed that no-one would actually believe it to be real.
This gamble has paid off for both the MOD and the BBC.
However, it is not the end of the story.
