Ch.6: Before The Meteor – Tech

"Finally" said Tech, marveling at his latest creation, the genius coyote ready for the president of Acme University to come inspect it later this afternoon. " With this little beauty I'm guaranteed to get an 'A+' at graduation for sure."

The coyote beamed. Success with technology had always been a hard pursuit for Tech's family. Many missteps occurred, and until he was born and began to show an interest in science, it had been completely banned from the household because his father was extremely frustrated, and just wanted to curl up into a little ball and die.

Tech was literally the first of the coyote bloodline ever to succeed. His parents encouraged him, pushing him into getting a degree at Acme U, in order to show the whole world just how smart coyotes could be.

In an anti-toon world though, it took a while for Tech's teachers to finally warm up to him. Yet, despite the obstacles, Tech felt like he had finally earned their respect, and was looking forward to great things once graduation came.

Starting his own company, helping Acmetropolis to expand and grow. Ah, those were his dreams. Dreams he had shared with a fellow protégé once.

Mallory, a scientific equal, and the first human ever to give the coyote a chance. To bad things didn't work out though. Tech may have liked pushing himself in science, but Mallory pushed things way to far.

There was no doubt that he had to stop her, though the thought still made him grieve. Maybe, some day, she would redeem herself. Maybe, just maybe.

Thoughts of the past didn't matter though, what he needed to focus on now was the future.

Little did Tech know, that soon, his whole life was about to change.
