LAST EDITED ON Mar-11-10 AT 08:34 PM (EST) by Gryphon (admin) [Carriage returns! They're what's for dinner. --G.]Hmm... no one seems to have made the comment yet, surprisingly. She can't be bargained with. She can't be reasoned with. She doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear. And she absolutely will not stop.
Kei the Terminator! *cue theme song*

I wonder where Miranda learned that? It's not; Miranda's what they used to call a biotic. They were human proto-psionics, precursors to the psions who are becoming a significant minority by the FI era. Sort of a dead-end side street off the road that eventually led to the Psi Corps. They couldn't manifest their powers "raw", the way FI-era psions can; their nervous systems had to be significantly augmented in order to produce any useful level of power. The amplification implants were expensive, the operations dangerous, the training very difficult and time-consuming, and the risk of extreme side effects much more significant. By 2300 they'd pretty much disappeared (or at least new ones ceased to be made) as the various human governments and agencies that were studying the concept decided, one by one, to wait and see if the trait developed into something more useful on its own - which, within four or five generations, it had. --G. -><- Benjamin D.

I haven't finished reading, but I felt a need to comment when I came upon this. >> Zardoz cackled his out-of-control cackle, whipped out both of >>his axes, and sprinted out into the square. Homing in on the woman who >>appeared to be taking point for the colonists, a tall, white-haired >>woman in a skintight black tactical envelope, he shrieked, "Time to >>play! TIME TO PLAY!" >> "Zardoz, you kratthead!" Garvex yelled. "Get - " >> The woman in black didn't seem bothered by the psycho's charge- >>and-scream technique. She turned, raised her rifle, and calmly blew >>Zardoz away. Ah, another Borderlands reference, this time with the humble Psycho. I am most tickled (possibly, I am easy to amuse). I especially like how Zardoz drops like a Psycho, as he chose to charge someone with a gun and the ability to fire it. I'd also wonder if the name is also a reference, but I'm too busy repeating to myself that it's just a show (and I should really just relax). Also, reading the rest. |
