Subject: Project Achilles
I regret to inform you of an error that has occured in the development of Project
Achilles. Something went wrong with our entire first batch but we have yet to find a
cause. The tubes have been sterilised as a precaution and my team is running through
the simulations and sequencing again as I speak. Instead of the perfect warrior the Coalition Generals requested we appear to have on our hands GELFtypes of a completely
opposite nature. I am afraid that we can discern no profitable use form them at this date. We will attempt growth of a second batch as soon as the flaw is discovered and corrected. I am assured that this will be so within a week. As to the matter of the rejects they are currently locked in the GELF pens, please advise as to further action."

An ...interesting race... they appear to be partly plant in composition, which may explain their green skin, and why they can regenerate wounds that would kill a human. They tend to live in the large forests that span our world, and although it has not been proven, they do seem to have some connection with the fungi that is common in their forests. There are a few however that have moved out into the mountains, and even less that have moved into the cities although they are adapting to urban lifestyle quickly in the manner of rats.
Anyway, they definitely can be an anti-social race. When they are not being brigands trying to waylay honest travellers, they will pick your pocket, or try and sell you any piece of junk they find lying around. However, I must say, that although the vast majority of them seem to have little more than animal intelligence, there are a fair number that on occasion have surprised even me. Not a race to be underestimated. To be fair as well, I would say that as soon as you have got it through to them that the world is not a "Free-Market Economy", and that your money is indeed yours, they can be quite entertaining.
