SID THE BUTCHER
The Universal Fleet had reports of a madman with a scalpel trying to create monstrosities out of humans, aliens, and animals.
The crime was reported to us after a concerned citizen discovered the carcasses of various individuals while on vacation in Sigma 093. Each of the bodies were missing a limb, a joint, an organ, or even skin as a result of their butchering.
In their place were the various parts of the aliens and animals I mentioned earlier.
We traced the criminal on a nearby moon, where they held countless soon to be victims inside their hideout. They were malnourished, frightened, and distrustful of us; even when we set them free.
The crook revealed himself not long after the last hostage was freed. To our shock, they were none other than Doctor Sid, a well respected surgeon and known ally to the Fleet.
We had captured him and taken him to the interrogation room. Many of us wanted to know what drove the Good Doctor to violate the Hippocratic Oath and commit such terrible acts.
He claimed to be mixing and matching the parts of various people and lifeforms to create the next step in human evolution. To back his point up, he cited entries from his grandfather’s journal.
It claimed that the human form was weak and couldn’t survive what the Universe had to offer without armor like the Universal Fleet’s. He saw how other aliens and animals could live in extreme conditions and wanted us to live through them as well.
Underwater planets? Give us the gills of an aquatic lifeform so we could breathe without oxygen masks.
The climate is below freezing? Implant us with the thick fur and body fat of an animal that could survive such harsh conditions.
Essentially, he wanted to play God in order for us to thrive all across the universe. If we just let him experiment on whoever and whatever he could grab, we would be able to accomplish so much more without the need for our suits.
Nobody fell for his pleas. He had committed numerous crimes against Universal Law, such as enforced disappearances, torture, and murder bordering on genocide.
We called him a butcher and had his medical license revoked. Afterwards, we sentenced him to life in a supermax prison, where he would never pick and mix parts from anyone and anything ever again.
Did Sid the Butcher remind you of anyone on Earth? This person also claims to be a doctor, but I don’t believe that man’s ever been to medical school.
Eric Vinell must’ve heard about Sid’s exploits somehow and took it upon himself to continue his legacy. While I can’t sentence you to supermax on Earth, I can try to make it so you’ll never harm anyone ever again.
I will make sure you can’t harm Benny or Aranza by the end of the night. It is my duty to ensure it.
With the stars as our shield, you will do no harm ever again.
