Your group of mutant animal operatives get a contract to rescue a fellow mutant from captivity. Only problem is this mutant is in the hands of dangerous corporate mercenaries.
Description:
Being a mutant animal today is not an easy thing. A lot of humans don't see you as people, and shady organizations are always trying to capture you to learn more about the GOOP that made you. Mutants need to stick together. So when a lonely mutant approaches your group and asks for help in rescuing his best mutant friend, how can you say no? It just involves breaking in to a secret corporate HQ. And hijacking a transport plane. And just maybe fight off a horde of hired mercenaries who want to send you to the black site lab for experimentation. Just another Tuesday for a mutant.
