Soon after the Cold War began, the Soviet Union started working on Project Gorynych in one of its military research facilities. The goal was to create a all-purpose weapon capable of sabotaging enemy submarines and locating and neutralising underwater combatants. To do this, vetehi from various different populations were imported in and artificially inseminated with sperm from local specimens. This was the first large-scale attempt to use vetehi in combat in the modern era; whereas the Romans preferred to capture adolescents for their gladiator fights, the Soviet scientists believed tractability could be achieved if the vetehi were raised from the egg. The program was beset by difficulties from the beginning, as not much was known about vetehi habitat and life cycle due to their hostility towards humans, and initial clutches were all nonviable. The first successful attempt came from a desperation cross with a friendly specimen from the South China Sea; none of the implanted embryos were actually expected to survive due to the subspecies' radically different physiologies, but due to the species' magical origins all four were successfully hatched. The scientists soon discovered that the hybrids were unable to survive in the cold Soviet waters, having inherited their carrier's physiology. Nonetheless, they were kept as prototypes to test the capabilities of what tamed vetehi could do.

Iskorka ("sparkling one") was raised in the lab with their siblings. Nam fringilla augue sed nunc sagittis, a fringilla diam maximus. Etiam quis enim sit amet felis aliquam dictum.
