Space Ranger

The human body wasn’t designed for space and hyper-accelerated travel; nor could it survive for very long in the open void.
The goal was to fast-track bodies more suited for zero-gravity that could also withstand up to 20g of acceleration without internal rupturing.
The program used cloning to save waiting for generational maturation and for a while debated whether or not to solve the short lifespan still plaguing the cloning industry. On the one hand, it kept a built-in shelf life as a safety feature against a clone revolution but on the other, it was stopping the program from going after that holy grail, the immortality market.
Plate 6: One of the end results before the funding disappeared was Space Ranger Ted, born Theodore Loom. This miracle of best intentions was a confused, often dizzy, individual.
The ocular advantages of a two-vision field were offset by the inability of the visual cortex to process separate inputs. With vision being so intrinsic to brain development, Theodore was never going to become what they intended. He was, however, excellent with children, painting his tentacular extremities in rainbow colors and performing a whirling dervish act – which no doubt did little for his perpetual vertigo.
