    "Er." Franco stared hard at her. Understanding clicked with a tiny click. The old woman was an org . Distant phrases from the "Infiltration Sheet" drifted like wedding confetti in the vacuous caverns of Franco's mind... Franco never read his infil.literature. What's the point, he reasoned, when I'll be on the job soon enough? Eh? I ask you? In reality, it sometimes made Franco Haggis a liability best avoided.
    Anyway, in this instance he had read some of the infil.literature (at Pippa's 9mm-pistol-prodding insistence), whilst perched on the alutitanium auto-flush toilet, pants round his ankles, vacating himself of the previous evening's vindaloo:
     
    The Org - Upgrade Information
    An Org Inc. Pamphlet
     
    General
     
    The orgs are a species who have evolved from a basic human construct/shell with the addition of mechanical and bio-mechanical aids. The orgs' religion is based on the premise "Thou Shalt Improve Thyself" and any org who does not wholly embrace such technological splicing - indeed, the art of mechanical self-improvement in its entirety - is thus exterminated as deviant to the core species. Here is the latest Sales Pack from Org Inc. [Upgrades Division/ Cloneworld East Sec].
     
    Upgrade Technology: Basic Packages
     
    [1] Core Power
    The human "heart" is always the first unit to be replaced, and replace it you should! Why perambulate along like a bowl of sushi, when you can fly... This is obviously the most expensive unit to be incorporated, as on its energy input/output/capability rests the operation of the complete org construct. One must carefully decide as to other requirements before choosing a heart unit (or 4-valve supply, as it has become trendily known). Basic 4-valvers will accommodate most normal augmentations, but for our "extra-special" special models, 8-valvers and even 16-valvers can be employed after special artery-rerouting organic circuitry. You'll have to dig deep in those deep pockets for the latest tech! But hell, for any org true to his/her roots, it's worth it! A bargain! - $117.99.
     
    [2] Arms and Legs
    These are considered the "back-bone" upgrade (along with the real backbone, a-ha-ha-ha). Arm and leg upgrades (orgspeak for beginners: mods/ augmentations) give increased strength/stamina/speed, allowing any happy org much increased power in all athletic events! Want to win that race? Win that girl/boy? Woo that mutant? You need the basic Armaleg units! Soft! Strong! And very, very durable! A special "Fight Pack" can also be ordered for all you budding org combatants (and let's face it, who doesn't like the odd punch-up, eh?), which substitutes carbontitanium bones and enlarged knuckles for those all-important fist-fights to the death. If you want to bludgeon your enemy to death, the Fight Pack is a must! Only - $55.99.
     
    [3] Armour
    Fed up with being shot in the face? Annoyed when a more powerful org kicks in your breast bone, splintering fragments into your woefully inadequate 4-valver and causing a temporary death sequence? Do not fret! Armour can be applied to any area of the org construct. Breast plates, joint plates, face plates. Hell, you can even encase those precious testicles in tiny solid balls of steel - or even better, have them removed entirely! [recommended for pit slab fighters]. Special pink units can be ordered for the ladies, as can protective head-shells for the kiddies! Never again worry when little Charlie org falls down the stairs, gets crushed in the kitchen mincer, or is attacked by a violent dog org with his irresponsible dumb owner (but aren't they all these days, eh? Heh, heh, heh). Protect your children. Protect your genitals. Get our Armour Pack Today! A snip at - $38.99.
     
    [4]Sexual Upgrades
    Hey there, sexy lady/ man/ mutant/
