Coordinator (Post-Contact)

Coordinators are genetically modified organisms, usually humans that can have a number of changed traits, such as changed facial features, eye color, skin color or body shape. Coordinators are usually modified inside Coordinator Centers, in which specified doctors preform procedures to acquire the result selected by the patient.

Coordinators are a highly controversial subject matter, and have created a divide between people on whether or not coordinators are moral. Movements, political parties, and laws have been created focused on coordinators and procedures to develop them.

Etymology
The term "coordinator" comes from a speech from George Waltsworth, father of the first coordinator. In the speech, George detailed that genetically modified humans are "...to coordinate a pathway for the future of mankind. They are to be welcomed and celebrated."

History
Since 12,000 BCE, humans have domesticated plants and animals through selected breeding and artificial selection. The process of selective breeding, in which organisms with desired traits (and thus with the desired genes) are used to breed the next generation and organisms lacking the trait are not bred, is a precursor to the modern concept of genetic modification.

Scientist Reynold Jason and Richard Brooker first started development in 2046, as test subject George Waltsworth had his eye color changed from genetic modification, unlike in previous eye color changing procedures in which it was done with surgery.

Reynold Jason and the now scientist George Waltsworth further went on to test genetic modification in 2049 on animals in the embryo. A American Short-hair was modified to have a different hair style. When the cat was born, it's hair was longer and retained a black-orange color. The cat received media attention for being one of the more genetically modified animals.

Later, a procedure tested on the then baby, and son of George Waltsworth, Raynold Waltsworth was modified to have a different skull-structure, with a more square shape. The test proved successful as Raynold Waltsworth was born with the modified skull and lived successfully, however with minor growth issues.

Raynold received major news attention due to the procedure's success.
