They look more like (http://www.gnxp.com/blog/2006/02/black-and-white-twins.php) this.

Touche.

Great, so people who've never read the Akira graphic novel will think it's somehow related to alien DNA, when its clearly not.
Great use of context man.

No I'm actually saying the way it's done in Akira is different..

Or they could have gone the Dark Angel route and just genetically engineered them with animal dna thrown in.

I basically got Zylon's impression. I did read the logs iggles was talking about, I probably have saves close to there as well.

Where in-game was there reference to alien DNA being used in the Dentons?

BEAR on 7/12/2006 at 18:39

That I do not know.

Infernalis on 8/12/2006 at 02:51

wait. if that e-mail does exist that they're really monkeys wouldn't that undermine a huge chunk of the plot in DX:IW?

I always thought they just added lots and lots of different nano machines to change the Dentons, that and their body's took to it well, i remember something about some people not, but maybe that's just my crazy mind playing tricks on me.

I kept this thread in mind while playing through DX1, recently. From what I can gather, originally there was a "Dreamland" project; presumably a Roswell-type thing. MJ12/Page Industries and the Illuminati got wind of it and Bob Page set out to clone or recreate the aliens using cows ("bovine manipulation project"; see below). He has some measure of success, and speculates with Lucuis deBeers about using the grays as MJ12 guards. By the time JCD breaks into Area51, the scientists may have moved on to using monkeys for the "transgenic" experiments. There's still only the word of a petrified mechanic to back that up, though.

Here's all the pertinent stuff. I transcribed the conversation with the mechanic; the rest is from (http://nuwen.net/dx.html) Stephan Lavavej's site and (http://theosek.sitesled.com/datavault1.html) Theos Ek. I don't know how any of it relates to Invisible War; not played it, yet.

Subject: Gray Project Schedule

I've attached a preliminary schedule for the Gray Project and want to get your
input before we meet next week. Couple of issues I want to whiteboard are
their ability to spontaneously generate radiation as a form of "attack", and
their apparent resistance to a number of environmental conditions.

We're still trying to resurrect all the information from the old Dreamland
data wells, but we have managed to extract a complete genetic sequence from
the old bovine experiments that have given us two viable test subjects.
They've been isolated in a radioactive field downstairs for observation if
you want to work up your informal impressions prior to the meeting.

BTW, we still haven't heard from Feng about the karkian eggs - we've got the
Hong Kong police out looking for him now, but we'll need to push back our
planned infant karkian development studies until we hear something.

Thanks,
Dr. Lundquist

Conversation with mechanic

Mechanic: They still there?
JC Denton: Who?
Mechanic: The grays. They're right outside by the reactors!
JC Denton: You mean -- space aliens?
Mechanic: We lost power when the missile hit. The cages -- they came unlocked.
JC Denton: You have a pretty clean shot at the surface, if you leave now.
Mechanic: No, no... not until I see troops. How'd you get back here? This area's restricted.
JC Denton: I was thinking about firing up the reactors.
Mechanic: (laughs)... Good one. Even the Seraphic/8X guys say the reaction's too unstable. They only bring it up to run tests.
JC Denton: Alien technology?
Mechanic: That's what they say, but I think it's a lie. The grays are just clones -- they SAY from cells they got at Roswell, but how do we know? They could have just engineered monkeys to not have any hair.
JC Denton: Can the grays run the reactors?
Mechanic: Ha! They're monkeys! That's the thing: maybe they have super-brains, but they don't know anything about any alien civilization because they grew up in cages. Never been to Sector 4 myself, but they lock the blast doors because they're doing more than cloning down there. I found out one of the codes, 1038, but that turned out to be for the Aquinas Hub, here in Sector 3. I don't know... maybe the Aquinas system controls access, but I haven't figured out how yet.

Suzie,

Go! The cages are open... I don't know what happened... some kind of attack...
I got into the Aquinas Hub... Yes, the code works, and our monkey friends are
transgenics, I'm pretty sure...

I will be in the Reactor Lab. Don't come to find me... I will meet you on the
surface... when it's safe...

An interesting idea, Bob, but I'm sure MJ12's research allocations can be put
to more substantial use pursuing our human augmentation projects; however,
I'll bring up the idea with Stanton and Morgan.

LAB 12 TESTING REGIMEN
SUBJECT: LIFEFORM MJID-9803HU8932 ("GRAY")
REGIMEN: SERIES 112-A

PROCEDURE: "GRAY" LIFEFORM APPEARS TO THRIVE IN AREAS OF HIGH RADIOACTIVITY
WHILE ALSO BEING ABLE TO STORE AND RELEASE RADIOACTIVITY IN A CONTROLLED MANNER
THROUGH AN ORGAN OF UNKNOWN OPERATION. FURTHER VIVISECTION IN COMBINATION WITH
REGIMEN SERIES 112 WILL BE REQUIRED TO ACHIEVE A COHESIVE UNDERSTANDING OF THIS
MECHANISM. SERIES 112-A SEEKS TO ESTABLISH BASELINE READINGS OF THE "GRAY"
LIFEFORM IN BOTH A RADIOACTIVE AND NON-RADIOACTIVE ENVIRONMENT BEFORE
PROCEEDING TO SERIES 112-B.

RESEARCHERS ACQUIRING BASELINE READINGS SHOULD USE CONTAINMENT AREA SECURITY
CONSOLE WITH LOGIN "LAB 12" AND PASSWORD "GRAYTEST" TO ENABLE OR DISABLE
RADIOACTIVE FIELD AS REQUIRED AND REPORT ALL FINDINGS TO DR. FRANK ROAN FOR
PROCESSING.
