A squirrel was caught in a trap and found by the scientists at the Project.
In a story very similar to Cy-Boar’s, Squirrel
was genetically altered and trained in a number
of military skills. The scientists tried to brainwash
him, but Squirrel resisted their brainwashing and
escaped into the surrounding forest. After staying
out of sight for a long time, he finally revealed
his existence to several humans in a remote bayou
swamp, and befriended them.
He found Cy-Boar unconscious and near death in a swamp, and convinced
his human friends to aid the big guy. He has remained Cy-Boar’s friend since then.
