A dragonsbane flower from the 7th dragon rpg series:
Mother:
It's not a perfect fit, but serviceable. I'm torn between working in the 7th dragon background into my current story or using the spin in a new save later.
Anyway, if you don't want to google the other game, here's the cliffnotes version: Dragonsbane flowers cause dragon sickness (Sims 4: possession) and they prepare a planet's ecosystem for the arrival of a True Dragon, which then will more or less hit the reset button for human civilisation. It can be combated, but the ressources put into the fight and the damage caused beforehand are enough to finish off flourishing civilisations. Also lots of smaller dragons will appear before that moment as well as so-called High-Dragons, who are minor bosses in their own right.
If this lore is adopted, "Mother" could either be a dragonflower tempered with by the scientists or she is a full blown High Dragon. The sims, of course, would be dragon hunters.

Sorry to disappoint, but those aren't recruits They are my other household members and as such fully controllable.
