 The missions are often fatal, and operated with little to no knowledge of what is on the other side, or if the way back home will still be there at the end. Due to the volatile nature of interdimensional travel, these missions are often considered suicidal, though survival rates have increased dramatically over the past 25 years. The canines of the IEGP are genetically modified to survive harsher conditions, live longer, and be capable of learning and communicating with a variety of languages. While they are not considered to be as intelligent as their human counterparts, many recent canines of the IEGP have displayed excellent abilities for cognitive learning and problem solving, surpassing the results expected of them. The Upsilon generation is the first in a line of canine genome rebuilding and modification to be sent on these missions alone, equipped with the technology needed to record data of all they see and experience, that can be sent back to base even if the canines themselves do not make it. Through genetic manipulation, the IEGP has coded what they believe to be the perfect explorers. Intentionally selected and raised to be sociable, self-confident, self-reliant, and assertive, the canines of Upsilon are expected to be natural leaders and brave explorers in the face of unknowable odds and challenges. These traits are the ones carefully coded for in the genome project to help create canine explorers who will not shirk from their responsibilities in the often harsh and unforgiving worlds they are sent to on their missions. Unfortunately, with those traits came less positive attributes. Aggressive, headstrong and even argumentative canines developed as a result of their genetic dispositions. Some became hostile and offensive, as opposed the passive spectators and watchers they were initially designed to be. The adventurous and independent natures of the Upsilon canines earned them reputations as fearless, uninhibited aggressors, charging into new worlds head first and functioning best when the risks and challenges are at their highest. Teddy, an Upsilon canine and veteran of four missions after his training, grew into a strong willed juvenile. Although fully grown physically, his mentality is closer to that of a reckless adolescent teenager. One of the few units to still use a human handler, Teddy works more easily with humans than his fellow canines, as the Upsilons tend to butt heads when forced to work together. Although he takes commands from his handler, Teddy is far from an obedient canine and dismisses orders that seem either pointless or counter-intuitive to his personal interests.
