OK, another weird fic idea just hit my damned brain.

The age-old BGC question popped into my
head ' Is Sylia a boomer or not ?'

The next question is ' What if Sylia _is_ a boomer ?'

I had fun with the idea for awhile rolling around in my head.

I made a fic about that anyway,here it is.

I think I made tons of mistakes , maybe because I
wrote this up in about thirty minutes.

Disclaimer:
I do not own the characters. Someone else owns
them. I hope they don't send thugs to beat me up
for writing about them.

Mackie's bloodshot eyes widened as her voice
exactly matched that of Sylia's.

' Yes.'

' The prime unit was deactivated a few days
ago. I have come to take her place. I would
like to be called Sylia Stingray as my
predeccesor was called.'

Hmmm... may integrate that to the BG Conspiracy storyline...

Oooohh!  Fun!

Anyway, if anyone wants me, I'll be in Quincy's bunker.

Will you be the one with the FAE bomb?

And it's just hypothetical. I have a very open mind so
I still can't decide if Sylia's human or not.

Well, one of the main themes for BGC is the question of what _is_
human?  

Are Sylvie or Anri human.. in all the ways that count, I think they
are..

Is Mason human?  

Is Largo human?  

It is certainly a radically different take on the idea.  Perhaps the
'real' Sylia died, maybe a while back.. but she had created a backup
with her own engrams impressed on a 33-S style brain.  And the copy
created another copy..   So as to continue her fight.
