Officials investigating the Wren annex reportedly prefer terms such as “engineered tracking organism” and “human-animal hybrid.”

Enough.

It had horns.

It had hooves.

It was enormous.

It chased people through a maze.

That is a minotaur.

New Concordia taxpayers have suffered enough without being gaslit by the Department of Corrections about basic mythology.

Government language has always existed to make terrible decisions sound billable. A prison becomes a correctional facility. Human experimentation becomes research. Zombies become reanimated infantry assets. A monster apparently becomes a tracking-response platform.

No.

The government made a minotaur.

Worse, investigators found the creature dead inside a tracking course that was basically one large loop with two dead ends.

They created a mythological killing machine and couldn’t even build it a decent maze.

Somebody owes ancient Greece an apology.
