There is ( I would think) a good deal of genetic engeneering going on in
2030-
And from this could arise some problems that had nothing to do with
boomers (and, honestly, thus a pleasant change.) these creations could be
just as much of a problem as any boomer....
And as for legality... well, the rich can pay a lot of money.....
Leon came into the office limping a folder under his arm.
He slumped heavily into his chair and stayed that way for a few moments
before reaching for the bottle andpolice accadamey mug he kept in his
desk.
He sloshed about half a mug-ful into the chipped blue mug before capping
the bottle and setting it aside. It was only then when he seemed to wake
up from his trance for a second, sighed, and ran his hand through his
already tousled brown hair.
Nene had been working night shift that week -so she could actually
get caught up on paperwork but primarily to avoid one of the new troopers
who found her "interesting" and said so in a rather demostrative manner.
She hoped he would get the message when she was no longer around as she
really didn't like making THOSE sort of waves.
She picked up the carafe of coffee from it's warmer. some sugar and three
of the small creamers.
"You know." she said pouring some of the aromatic dark liquid into Leon's
cup "The chief has better stuff in his desk."
Leon nodded his thanks and began tearing open packets of sugar and
pouring their contents.
"I know." he said with a ghost of a smile "I'm the one who bought it for
him."
Nene pulled up a chair from another desk.
"Daley?" She asked.
"He's fine." Leon replied. I told him I'dd file these and sent him home
early."
Nene exhaled softly -a breath sh hadn't realized she was holding.
"Tough call?" Nene asked sympatheticly but also with other motives.
Leon nodded.
"I didn't hear dispatch call any boomer incidents." She prodded.
"It wasn't..." Leon looked frustrated.
"Well...not like any boomer I've ever seen....."
Nene half-stood and reached for the folder which lay closed upon the desk
and Leon raised a cautinary hand.
"It's not pretty."
"I'm a cop." She said defensively and then hesitated....she hated this
sort of thing. She didn't do well with violence...well human violence
anyway. deead boomers were just... well machine parts.
She took a deep breath. and opened the folder.
Looking at the first print she sat down -hard.
looking at the second and third prints, now they were hard.
- but,it was her job after all, actually two jobs.
Firstly as a cop as she had said but to be honest sometimes that seemed
seccondary to the second. : report all suspicious
and out-of-the-ordiary actions and activities to the Knight Sabers.
Leon passed a cup into her hands and she took a gulp thinking about the
sickening fire in her throat was better than looking at those.....
Leon gently took the folder from her cold hands and closed it.
"From what the lab boys said." She only heard his voice dimly.
"From what they said....they think it was some kind of animal."
Something like that...

Hows this for a BGC story? Nene hears rumors of a case that got covered
up, apparently the head of a small Corp. was savagely killed in a manner
that sugested a wild dog had shreded him, but he was so badly maimed(see:
bloodly scrape of dog-meat, IDed only through what was left of his DNA)
that they had to dismiss that thought. Later the KS find out GENOM has a
new boomer, " Booma-pets, add water and whach as these metalic monsters
burst of their skins and rip out your throat" The problem is that they can
hide as any animal, just waiting to strike. Can anybody use this? Please
respond if you like or want to use this. And PLEASE no " it's good, write
it' comments or i'll put out so much spam you'll drown, cuz i tried writing
a fic but got nothing, not even an " it sucks" message so there.
Chia-pets gone wild, eh?
I don't know why Genom would bother. They're a "respectible company", and
would not build killer boomers for use by the general public. They do build
killers, but only for military or security uses - any that 'go rogue' are
just unpleasant accidents (or unacknowledged test runs)
btw - You might want to visit
http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/9464/y-fanfic.htm - the title "Bubblegum
Circus" is already being used.

I met a Lady in the Meads,
Full beautiful, a faery's child,
Her hair was long, her foot was light
And her eyes were wild.
