FUZERS: a commonplace tragedy. We only kept two examples of them in the museum, since we couldn’t afford to become an institution for such unfortunate souls, besides which, when nanoimplants short-circuit, they don’t usually affect the external appearance.
The funny thing I find about nano-implants is that they always claim that the benefits outweigh the risks, which seems interminably odd since if it all goes wrong, you don’t receive the benefits promised (or sympathy). So we’re stuck with a degenerate class, often with violent interactive preferences. There’s only one treatment for the fuzer condition, and that is hardly considered a crime.
Most fuzers are ex-military or ex-mercenary, who boosted themselves beyond the limits of their bodies or pushed the limits of their enhancements to a point where they ‘fused.’ Nano-enhanced strength and senses, as well as data-feeds, were some of the many attempts made to create ‘super-soldiers’ and have largely been abandoned since the end of warring.
THERE are only two recorded cases of the porcupine, plate 40, caused by
a sudden mass ejection by the nano-system. The subject suffers a quick
and most likely unbearable execution – though I suppose most executions
are – akin to the death of a thousand cuts, but more accurately it was
a million internal perforations. As for fears that such a fate could be
triggered by a another party, I cannot speculate, but I don’t see why
not.
