S.E.T.I - Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence - sends
a message to outer space to whatever intelligent life
form out there might be listening. Around twenty
years later, S.E.T.I receives a message back from an
unknown life source, giving S.E.T.I their version of the
DNA structure and instructions on how to mix that life
source's DNA with the DNA of the life on earth. The
science team successfully creates a creature, a hybrid
with both forms of DNA, in which they codename Sil.
Due to some mistakes, however, the experiment had
to be terminated. As they are gassing Sil with Cyanide
poisoning while she helplessly panics inside a
heptagonal glass casing, Sil who was then a young
teenager breaks out of the lab and successfully
manages to escape. Sil causes trouble, murdering
innocent people, and then she sits in a cocoon on a
train and erupts a fully grown woman. Sil might be
incredibly gorgeous and very intelligent, but she
proves to be extremely deadly. She is on a mission to
try and mate with a human male, but the science
team that is gathered has to quickly catch up to her
and stop her, for if Sil manages to mate with a man,
she could produce offspring that might destroy the
entire human race!
