- You have two cows... the cyberpunk version.
-
Note: Unless you're familiar with cyberpunk literature and its themes, do not read this post.
You have two cows, but don't like what they are. You want to improve then using cybernetics and biotechnology. You save a sample of DNA from each for a backup, just in case.
One cow is outfitted with motion-sensing detector chips, anti-predator weapons and countermeasures, nano-enhancements for continuous 24/7 milk production and disease control, and multi-core processors to keep everything under control. The cyber-cow suddenly goes berserk when a general protection fault occurs in one of the processor cores. It takes out several farms and half of a country town before it's finally brought down with an electromagnet.
You genetically re-engineerer your remaining cow to have the same abilities as the cyber-cow, but without the risk of computer failure. Unfortunately, an unforeseen mutation in the process makes bio-cow human-like. It tries to organize a bovine revolt, but kills itself when it realizes the other cattle were just too stupid to revolt against humans when it is cornered by the FBI.
You now have zero cows, but remember the DNA samples you saved. You use those samples to clone two new cows that you want to improve using cybernetics and bioengineering... - Posted by: Mr. Roboto Posted on: 02/24/07 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
