Meet Perry, a genetically engineered fighter pilot developed to counter an increasingly dominant class of AI-controlled aircraft.
He's a chimera. Human-raptor hybrid. DNA cut and spliced with that of a lethal bird of prey: the peregrine falcon, fastest creature on earth. His development leverages hundreds of millions of years of evolution and pits it against human-designed artificial intelligence. Nature against machine.
Supercharged primal instincts and 800% better eyesight allow him to fly circles around human pilots, and, unlike Perry's drone counterparts, he's immune to cyberattack.
