| Dario Biocenter From 1997 to 2046, the Dario Biocenter was the biggest hybridization facility on Earth, and was located near El Toro, California, in the southern part of the state. Its roots in the CSC were the stepping stone to its greatness, and it was the site of the first breakthrough in science. The first laboratory-born hybrid was created at Dario Biocenter in 2004. However, the child's birth was the start of a series of losses for the CSC, when the governments of the world started to buy out all of its facilities. The CSC held on to Dario the longest, though it was finally sold in 2006. Scientists, most of them hired back from the CSC, worked for the next seven years at Dario, creating a number of lab-born hybrids to showcase to the world. Because of the nature of their work, the Biocenter was greatly despised among naturalist groups like Greenpeace. During November of 2013, the Biocenter suffered an extreme act of terrorism. The building was firebomed, and many of the hybrid residents managed to escape. Two of those hybrids were to go down in history. During the years between 2023 and 2030, the Dario Biocenter was slowly rebuilt. During its first year of reoperation, the Biocenter was presented with a request from a distraught woman. She wanted a child so badly that she was willing to let them use her as a study. The Dario scientists gave her a child... It was the third naturally-born hybrid to ever come to live, and he was named Timber. The birth was in 2031, just fifteen years before the Biocenter would be closed down. During those fifteen years, however, Dario Biocenter worked on a new project: the colonization of Mars. Working with NASA proved tiring, and the entire project was the cause of the Biocenter's closing in 2046, when all the scientists merely moved to work for NASA. Back |
