Biohell
and squeezed free a
small black coin.
     
    “Shit. So it is real.”
     
    Keenan lifted the coin, staring
at the smooth gloss disk. This was the junk’s SinScript. It contained an
encrypted list of the semi-sentient alien’s instructions. Where it came
from. Its destination and priorities. A program, of sorts. A puzzle for the
brave and the foolish. Legend had it the SinScript contained not just the junk’s life, but a ghost-scrawl of its future. What it would do. What it
might achieve. A forecast. A damn prophecy.
     
    Swiftly, Keenan sat back on his
heels and used his Combat K PAD to ignite the corpse. As smoke rolled to the
sky he moved away, crouching, and watched passively as the junk burned. Black
fumes billowed, and there, amidst the barren quarry-scape of Galhari, amongst
chunks of jagged stone, house-sized boulders, towering cliffs of diagonal
sparkling lodes, this whole thing, this attack, these creatures, it just seemed wrong. Keenan shook his head. Junks. Filthy, toxic junks. What the hell
were they doing on Galhari? What did they want?
     
    Keenan shivered... his eyes
lifting to the horizon where he could just distinguish a thick column of smoke.
Something clicked in his soul and a coldness crept over him like ants.
Keenan stood. Glanced down at his boots. He could see tiny stones vibrating,
and suddenly the whole world seemed to tremble as a vast noise
approached, a massive, mammoth booming which swept across the sky and Keenan
looked up, back, as ten, twenty, fifty military K Freighters filled the
sky with their offensive elongated bulks, cruising overhead and blocking the
sky, filling Keenan with horror.
     
    “No.”
     
    Keenan ran to his bike, fired the
engine and screamed off across loose stone. The three junks he’d killed hadn’t
been assassins. They were a scouting party. This was an...
     
    Keenan’s grimace was darker than
a junk’s soul.
     
    This was an invasion.

    YOUR BIOMOD
     
    Your
biomod comes in the form of a capsule (although they can also be obtained in
liquid suspension for oral or intravenous absorption, or in an anal application
pack*). Each capsule contains 0.2 mg (including carrier) of the active

console in the NanoTek Recycle Bins which can be found in most high-street
shops and supermarkets Quad-Wide.
     
    HOW DOES YOUR BIOMOD
WORK?
     
    Your
biomod is a measurement of Nano Robots, called “nanobots”, or Biological
Modules, “bio-mods” which enter an organism and are controlled by a small
programmable console. Most biomods are SF Grade—Specific Functional. For
example, SF Grade FR biomods (fat reducer) are used specifically in the loss of
weight for the patient, or an SF Grade PE biomod (penis enlarger) is used to
increase the size of a patient’s garbage. More expensive are the
