A sci-Fi dystopian future in which earthlings are just one of multiple alien races. The humans take the outcasts and unconforming, then torturously genetically alter them to create super soldiers. Earth then "donates" these poor soulless to the cause of fighting off a nearly unstoppable hive menace, that currently is tearing through the intelligent races. These unwilling brain chip controlled humans still have intelligence and can slip around the constraints they are chained with. An excellent short story that would make a great novel.
