Oh, how things change.
Doctor Asimov was once a galactically renowned genetic scientist. He was well known for being a doctor in many fields, but genetics was his passion. However, as time went on, Asimov struggled to maintain relevancy. Frustrated, he eventually revealed the mechanites, a nanobot virus he had made to transform others into genetic abominations. Mortified, the scientific community called for his resignation, and he was eventually banished from the newly crowned glitterworld.
Fastforward 60 years, and much has happened. He has had time to continue his tests, on several forgotten planets. With the DNA of those he captured from the tribes, he grew many vat-grown scientists to aid him on his quest to wrong those who had banished him and stripped him of his former glory.
You're one of those vat-grown scientists. Conditioned at birth to enjoy your line of work, you didn't stop to think about how others might think about the work you were born into, until one day, you hear warning sirens go off, and shortly afterwards a bang at the front door. Although it wasn't exactly the morph revolution you were thinking of exactly, you had thankfully prepared, and before they could even get past the initial defenses, you immediately ran to collect the items you need, for a prepared departure.
This scenario is fairly brutal, and very much modded! There's half of my 1.2 modlist required for the right experience.
