New Study Shows Boomer Diversity
| bloodstream can otherwise damage or kill the baby. A peculiar side effect of the retrovirus causes birth defects resembling pointed cat ears and a tail. These features are not genetically related to cats, yet boomers are sometimes called hybrids due to similarity.
The study shows that catlike features are but a single stage of development. They can acquire new characteristics, remarkably, even after birth. The "fox" boomer, for example, is a cat boomer with a

| robust bushy tail and larger pointier ears. A "dog" boomer has a shorter tail and floppy ears. Scientists observed DNA for more exotic types like "raccoon," "wolf," and "squirrel," although these traits may be latent or inexpressible.
According to the study, genes which alter catlike features are epigenetic - meaning they lie dormant until triggered by an outside stimulus like stress, allergies, or exposure to pollution. An estimated 8% of the entire boomer population

Other curious mutations are expressed at birth, and appear in boomers regardless of variance. These rare features include neoteny (childlike tendencies even in adulthood), sensitive taste and smell, pronounced canine teeth, softer, finer hair, and accelerated fingernail growth.

| The part about triggers, though... Like you could sneeze too hard and wind up with a bushy tail? That's cute.

| Not to mention the part about "hybrids" is just the name people who have undergone VeriaTech's relatively new cosmetic mods have gotten... -CN

Blahblah...

Wait for it...

Indeed! For you speak with the leader of the Myrmidons himself, chosen by the gods for only the most important of tasks...

You seem to have me confused with the false god, there. I would think that the difference in letters used in our names would signal that to you.

Sadly it doesn't. Actually according to mythology Agamemnon isnt even a God now is he? -CN

Indeed! Rather he was a hero of great reknown- King of the Achaeans, leader of the most righteous war against the degenerate Trojans!

Hmm... half breed... so does that mean you are not a hybrid yourself? Honestly it feels like none of you get along with the other, it amazes me how Zeus keeps a steady ship over in VT HQ. -CN

How dare you! I'll have you know that my brothers and myself are purestrain.
I refer instead to a certain -other- that you have interacted with. Why she intentionally keeps you alive is beyond me

You're going to have to be more specific than that. Do you mean Arachne? Trust me I doubt she'd keep me alive if we ever met. Although I'm sure you've must have heard from the others how hard am I to kill. -CN

Hubris? Is this VT thing turning into a monster of the week scenario where a new Corp exec is going to keep trying to kill me. -CN

| GLITCH CITY - A recent genetic study conducted by GCU confirms Glitch City's cat boomer population contains unique mutations, including so-called "boomer variants." These boomers resemble other animals, such as foxes, dogs, and rabbits, the same way cat boomers resemble felines.
The boomer mutation occurs when unborn infants with NIR (Nanite Immune Response) are treated with retroviral therapy. Such treatment is lifesaving, as exposure to nanites in the mother's
