Watami Stephen Donald Huff

Denizens of Watami are more human than human. Though 'normal' citizens hysterically fear them as obscene chimeras, the pastoral Nascosi way of life embraces principles of passivity and altruism to selfless - some would say 'suicidal' - extremes.

When a deviant dictator determines to exploit these deep-seated genocidal animosities for political gain, he finds the peace-loving Nascosi 'morphs' to be easy targets and convenient scapegoats in promotion of his sinister designs. Since Nascosi refuse to defend themselves, they will ultimately disappear into the vaporous anonymity of extinction, yet their canny biological technology will survive them.

As with all leaps of evolution, Anzian-kind will subsequently rise on a gush of gore. Afterward, humankind will be unknown.
