Before Beta was created, there was animal experimentation. Dogs, cats, monkeys... all subjected to genetic manipulation to enhance brain activity. I donÕt think I like where this is goinÕ... Physical enhancements? ÒThe life extension technology was given to them, ThatÕs all..Ó ÒWhen Mavon fled, they were turned out into the world.Ó What! They were sterile werenÕt they? They couldnÕt mate ... could they? ah. Actually yes they could. And they probably have, with strays and each other. CRipes! ItÕs a whole new world.
