The story begins with a corporation creating a DNA editing pathogen that can cure terminal diseases but also has the potential to create monstrous creatures. The pathogen is tested on animals, but it gets out of control, and the corporation's space lab explodes, releasing the pathogen into the atmosphere.
The pathogen infects various animals, including a gorilla named George, a wolf, and a crocodile, causing them to grow to enormous size and become aggressive. A primatologist, referred to as "The Rock," teams up with a genetic engineer named Kate to stop the creatures and find an antidote.
Meanwhile, the corporation's evil brothers, Clair and Brett, try to capture the creatures to use their DNA to recreate the pathogen and sell it for billions. The Rock and Kate must stop the brothers and the creatures, while also navigating the military's attempts to destroy the creatures with bombs.
In the end, The Rock and Kate successfully administer an antidote to George, returning him to his normal size and temperament. The Rock then helps George defeat the wolf and the crocodile, and the city of Chicago is saved. The story concludes with The Rock, Kate, and George forming an unlikely friendship, and the military canceling their air attack on the city.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. In 1993, scientists developed a technology called "crisis" that allowed them to cure terminal diseases through DNA editing.
2. In 2016, American intelligence announced that DNA editing was a double-edged sword that could be used for other purposes.
3. A suspicious green corporation was conducting gene editing tests on animals, which resulted in the creation of a giant rat.
4. The only doctor left to try to recover samples of the mutant-creating pathogen was a female doctor who was being chased by Mickey Mouse.
5. The pathogen entered the Earth's atmosphere and affected a gorilla, a wolf, and a crocodile.
6. The gorilla, named George, was being monitored by a primatologist named The Rock in a sanctuary in Santiago.
7. George became aggressive and began to grow rapidly due to the pathogen.
8. A genetic engineer named Kate discovered the shady experiments of the suspicious corporation and arrived at the animal sanctuary.
9. Kate explained that the pathogen had an unstable formula and that she had developed a compound to balance growth and development uniformly.
10. The brothers Clair and Brett, owners of the suspicious corporation, hired a mercenary to capture George and the other mutated animals.
11. The military intervened and took George to a base, but he broke free and escaped.
12. The Rock and Kate joined forces to save George and prevent the corporation from harming more people.
13. The corporation activated an antenna that sent low-frequency waves to guide the mutated animals to their location.
14. The Rock and Kate arrived at the corporation building and found the cure, a serum that could save George.
15. The brothers Clair and Brett arrived and revealed that the serum would only make the animals less aggressive, not return them to their normal size.
16. The Rock and Kate escaped with the serum, and George was cured.
17. The other two mutated animals, Ralph the wolf and Juancho the crocodile, were killed by George and The Rock.
18. The city of Chicago was saved, and the military canceled the air attack.
19. George, the noble albino gorilla, expired knowing that he saved many lives.
