Chimera (The Legacy of Torchwood One!): Difference between revisions

Circa early [[2006]], the [[Bio-Medical Research Division]] of [[Torchwood One]] discovered alien DNA that would induce a primal fear in those exposed to it. The Institute began kidnapping dead-beats and drug addicts off the streets and trying to splice their DNA with the alien's with the aim of creating a super-soldier for the [[British Special Forces]] - "Bringing Terror to the Terrorists."

The experiment failed multiple times, each time causing the death of the test subject. Eventually, one test subject was a success. However, it soon became uncontrollable and tried to kill its creator, [[Rupert Howarth]].

The creature escaped but kept trying to kill Rupert, leading him to fake his own death to protect his family and friends. Before he left however, he left a program running on his computer that would find the formula to a solution that would suppress the Chimera's alien DNA. The solution was stored on the Torchwood mainframe. ([[TWM]]: ''[[The Legacy of Torchwood One!]]'')

Following the fall of Torchwood One in mid-[[2007]] ([[DW]]: ''[[Doomsday]]''), [[Torchwood Three]]'s [[Organic computer]] salvaged as much as it could from the [[Torchwood Mainframe]]. ([[WC]]: [http://web.archive.org/web/20070825182812/www.torchwood.org.uk/html/welcome/introduction.shtml Torchwood External Hub Interface - Introduction]) Luckily the formula created by Rupert's computer was salvaged. ([[TWM]]: ''[[The Legacy of Torchwood One!]]'')

In mid-[[2008]], the presence of the formula led Rupert to [[Cardiff]], causing the Chimera to follow. After burning down the warehouse that Rupert had been sleeping in, it followed him to [[Torchwood Three#The Hub|The Hub]] where Rupert, with the help of Torchwood Three's [[Torchwood Three#Crew|staff]], managed to create the solution.
