Huh?  For the entirty of Crisis it seemed that anyone Priss did pull a gun
on, or punch or spit at was (with the exception of Leon) a Boomer.   Even if
in disguise...  I can see her getting upset with any boomer or "boomeroid"
that acted as anything other than a menial role.

earlier in Crisis.  That's one of the reasons Sylia gives for NOT bringing
Genom down -- their products are too pervasive. Get rid of boomers, and
people can't live anymore: they are too dependent on them - they make life
easier for the citizenry. (except when Genom is running a "field test")

	*Sylia* realizes this.  (Sometimes.)  The question is, does Priss?
(And one intriguing *possible* answer is, yes ... and she privately thinks
that getting rid of the boomers, thus destroying civilization, would be a
Good Thing.)

	I think that Priss *would* be deeply suspicious, and quite 
probably "on the attack", if -- post Largo -- she were to meet boomers
that displayed signs of sentience and personality -- which she would,
understandably, equate with madness and instability.  The majority of
boomers, which don't display that sort of thing, she probably ignores,
except when they get in her way.  (When that happens, Skuld help them.)

	I'm not so certain, though, that Priss would be hostile towards
people with cybernetics.  At least, not EXTENSIVE cybernetics -- e.g.
boomeroids, individuals who are more than 70% artificial -- which are
apparently fairly rare in the Crisis/Crash era.

(But no, I still don't think she and Kiddy Phenil would get along. :)  But
it would be more due to Kiddy's "cop" descriptor than her "cyborg"
descriptor ...)
