Summary
A scientist group in Québec, known as the Scientifiques pour le progrès génétique de l’humanité (SPGH), aim to bring humanity to an age of immortality and utopia with genetic science and experience... and have created human/animal hybrids to show just what they can do. Within the Zoo expérimental des Monts Notre-Dame (ZEMND), two of these experiments – Antarctic midge/human hybrids by the names of Lumière and Émile – have been lucky enough to become part of SPGH's team! But trouble brews beneath the surface of the zoo, and not everything is as it seems from the outside looking in...

Summary
Thirty-two years after the insectoids escaped from the ZEMND, they are still in hiding... all except for one who remains with the SPGH, Émile. They and the aging head scientist, Alexandre Levesque, have tried to capture these insectoids for so long to no success. Now they're working on something that would take the insectoids down for good, and with this, Émile and Alexandre must wrestle with morality, long-left dreams, and the simple fact that sometimes, things don't go to plan.
This is a direct sequel to This Can't Be It...! I highly advise reading that one before this, but it's not necessary.
This is also a serial story and part of the Serial Sunday feature on r/shortstories! This will update weekly, time allowing.
