Lt. Commander Morrison

Lt. Commander Morrison is the first successful transhuman soldier created by the DTO (Department of Transhuman Operations), representing a breakthrough in human enhancement through alien genetic integration. As a first-generation enhanced human infused with Angorian DNA, Morrison serves as both proof-of-concept for the transhuman program and a field commander for operations requiring superhuman intervention.

Personal Background

Pre-Enhancement History

• Military Service: Extensive career in U.S. military special operations
• Rank: Lieutenant Commander (retained after enhancement)
• Selection: Chosen as volunteer test subject for DTO's Angorian enhancement program

Physical Characteristics

• Height: 6'5" (exceptionally tall, even before enhancement)
• Build: Massive, freakishly muscled frame with copper-toned skin
• Head: Shaved bald, glistening in sunlight
• Presence: Intimidating physical stature that barely fits in standard vehicles

The Enhancement Process

Angorian DNA Integration

Morrison underwent the DTO's experimental genetic splicing procedure:

Source Material

• Success Rate: Morrison represents the program's first complete success

Genetic Modifications

• Enhanced Physiology: Dramatically increased muscle density and bone strength
• Improved Healing: Advanced regenerative capabilities
• Heightened Reflexes: Reaction times approaching supernatural levels
• Extended Endurance: Sustained physical performance far beyond human limits

Enhanced Abilities

• Tactical Mobility: Rapid repositioning during battle
• Sustained Performance: Maintains peak performance longer than human limits

Defensive Capabilities

• Dense Skin and Muscle: Natural armor against conventional weapons
• Bullet Resistance: Can take high-caliber rounds and continue fighting
• Damage Absorption: Withstands explosive impacts and continues combat
• Pain Tolerance: Continues fighting through injuries that would disable humans

Regenerative Healing

• Rapid Recovery: Heals from combat damage between engagements
• Trauma Resistance: Survives injuries that would be fatal to normal humans
• Endurance Restoration: Recovers from exhaustion quickly
• Battle Readiness: Maintains effectiveness through extended combat

Combat Performance

The Sanderson Incident

Morrison's deployment to handle the alien outbreak served as his field test:

Mission Objectives

• Primary Target: Capture rogue EMO operative Andreea Cohen (The Lotus)
• Secondary Mission: Contain alien-human hybrid threat (a1)
• Command Role: Lead field operations and coordinate with EMO teams
• Success Metrics: Demonstrate transhuman combat effectiveness

Combat Engagement with Andreea

Morrison's fight with the vampire assassin revealed both his capabilities and limitations:

Initial Encounter:

• Successfully landed hits on a vampire-level opponent
• Demonstrated ability to match supernatural speed and strength
• Showed tactical combat experience and adaptability
• Proved resilient against enhanced opponent's attacks

Combat Techniques:

• Grappling: Used superior size and strength for throws and slams
• Striking: Delivered powerful blows capable of stunning supernatural opponents
• Tactical Awareness: Adapted combat style based on opponent's abilities
• Psychological Warfare: Used intimidation and verbal taunts as weapons

Performance Analysis:

• First Round Victory: Initially defeated Andreea when she held back
• Adaptation Issues: Struggled when opponent used full supernatural abilities
• Durability: Continued fighting despite taking significant damage
• Ultimate Defeat: Overwhelmed when facing peak vampire performance

Leadership Capabilities

• Command Authority: Successfully led EMO tactical teams
• Tactical Planning: Coordinated multi-team operations against alien threats
• Crisis Management: Maintained operational effectiveness under extreme pressure
• Personnel Management: Commanded respect from conventional military personnel

• Social Function: Interacts effectively with military personnel
• No Aberrant Behavior: Shows no signs of genetic instability or mutation

Strategic Significance

Proof of Concept

Morrison's success validates the entire DTO enhancement program:

• Viability: Demonstrates that human-alien genetic integration is possible
• Stability: Proves enhanced subjects can maintain loyalty and functionality
• Combat Effectiveness: Shows enhanced humans can match supernatural threats
• Operational Deployment: Confirms field readiness of transhuman soldiers
