Robert Quint was a biologist who was employed by the United States government. However, Robert Quint didn't exist - for all records of his prescence had been deleted by the Government when he went to work at the Groom Lake Air Force base - also known as Area 51.
The basis of Quint's position was simple. He studied exophysiology and xenobiology in relation to the different extraterrestial contacts that the US and other Governments had. Of course, since this was deep black ops kind of stuff, nobody outside of high-ranking covert government officials and the scientists who worked at Groom Lake had any idea what was going on.
Because of the secrecy of Quint's position, he was restricted to the Base for most of the time. However, since he had higher clearances, he was allowed to take a 2-week vacation off-base every six months in order to clear his head. After all, a happy employee is a productive employee.
One of the projects Quint was working on was a symbiotic bio-suit for military use. Using an alien organism that had been bioengineered by their scientists, the Bio-suit was a small black sphere, the size of a ping-pong ball. However, once it came in contact with a suitable host, the ball would merge with the other organism. Incubation would take place over a 24 to 48 hour period, as the black, shiny material that made up the organism spread over 80 percent of the host's body, leaving only the hands and head uncovered. Basically, the organism would bond with the host's skin, making the new symbiote look like it's dermis had been replaced with a shiny black material.
The bio-suit could be worn under normal clothing for covert operations. The MILITARY applications of the bio-suit were the following...
1) Near-invulnerability to small arms (knifes, bullets, shrapnel)
2) Increased strength, senses, and speed.
3) Mission-specific transformative properties.
4) Camoflauge to the point of near-invisibility.
5) Maximizing the potential of the human body - muscles, skeleton, etc.
However, Quint had other plans. You see, Quint had a fascination with celebrities. In fact, his fascination ran so deep with the beautiful women that populate entertainment that he tried to use the concepts he learned from his job to make the celebrities he idolized... better.
He spent long hours in his lab, playing with the properties of the small ping-pong ball sized organisms, mutating them, changing their parameters, until finally, he created a new version of the Bio-suit, an alien organism that could morph a women to his own personal desires... and more. He smiled to himself as he thought of a beautiful Hollywood starlet struggling with the tight cocoon covering her body... changing it slowly. The organism could even create mental changes, which was a breakthrough Quint kept from his Governemtnal supervisors.
Quint realized it was time for vacation, so he put in his request, stored his secret project in a cooler in his on-base apartment, and bought himself a first-class ticket from Las Vegas to Los Angeles. He then returned to his lab the night before his trip, took a deep breath, and allowed himself to merge with one of the Military-level biosuits... He was going to need the powers it afforded to complete his plan.
