>>>>>[I am more and more certain that this troll sized being that is
destroying
the Seattle gangs is a cyborg. A machine would not cut off the arms and legs
of a person and then burn them, sealing the arteries and preventing the
individual from bleeding to death. From the little I know of "deadheads,"
they are capable of such precision, but not without extensive modifications.
As to size, it is actually easier to build a large, troll sized body than a
smaller body like a human or dwarf. It requires less miniturization and less
technical innovation while generating a psychological aura of indestructability
that would be awesome on a battlefield or in a police department. Speaking of
Police Departments, have any of the Ares model Enforcer CBRs been seen in
Seattle recently? Lone Star purchased over 10 just before I left, with an
option for up to 20 more if there were sufficient funds and volunteers. I hope
not, for all you who live in the shadows of Seattle. They would be quite
dangerous. Not combat cyborgs, or a Column Mark-4, but still
dangerous.]<<<<<
