Tales from New Bethlehem: An experiment with death
"Ahhhh.. got me armor? You finally finished it? Well its about damn time!" "Yes...yes...well the specs you wanted weren't easy to come by. The harness alone took me several months to complete. Fortunately for you, I do my best work under pressure."

Tales from New Bethlehem: Big Fat Freak
"Hey daddy you ready for me? The woman heaved her busom up and down in the man's face. The faint yellowish luminescence in her eyes signaled that her onboard circuits were functioning properly; siphoning power to her cell matrix. Like all androids, she had her serial number stamped in a sort of raised skin indentation on the back of her neck, just below the base of her skull. If you looked closely enough one could make out her name, make, and model number.

A brief history of body augmentation part 2.
Living human tissue naturally rejects cybernetic implants, circuitry, and most forms of bio-engineered technology. For years scientists and doctors strove to solve this problem and make use of the emerging technologies in order to sustain human life. In 2065 a biochemist and mathematician named Zirko Agreff came out with the answer when he successfully developed the first working micro-computers to aid in stem-cell research. These tiny cell-like devices allowed for the filtration, proliferation, and processing of informational code on a microscopic level. He called these tiny micro-computers "nanites" and when they came in contact with human white blood cells amazingly they would attach themselves to them. Essentially making the human cell into a micro-compatible device able to accept informational code. Thus the nanites served as the bridge between living human tissue and cybernetic technology. This led to humans now being able to augment themselves with said technology, as their bodies accepted the code that enabled it. At first this breakthrough was strictly limited to the medical field and doctors across the world were able to save countless lives because of it. As the methods and means grew, so did the knowledge and expertise. In time mankind perfected the ability to augment themselves with "tech" thus eradicating virtually all terrestrial diseases and the ramifications of aging. Cellular degeneration was almost non-existent as well because another miraculous effect of the nanite was to actually prolong the life cycle of the cell attached to it, roughly by a factor of 10.

A Brief History of Body Augmentation
Since human beings began to augment their body tissue by way of genetic mutation and cybernetic enhancements during the late part of the 21st century. The conditions on what it meant to be actually human had been up for debate for some time. The problem was you had many new classes of individuals all claiming to be humans and expecting the same unalienable rights that went along with that designation. The governments of the world had a problem with this as the question was posed should all beings be classified as human and thus have the same rights in society? It was a rousing question that led to years upon years of legalizations, revisions, and lobbying. Until finally during the spring of 2101. On April, 17 at approximately 3:56 pm. The congressional and judicial committees of the Global Confederation of United Nations passed what was known as the "Genesis Protocol", an agreed-upon piece of legislation that guaranteed specific rights to specific individuals thereby classifying each type of individual. It was the supreme authority on human life and what it meant to be human in the day and age of enhanced augmentation.

Dear Marionette
I first off want to apologize to you my love for taking so long in getting back to you. I'm frankly aware that the duration between now and my last letter has been several months. I deeply regret this span of time but you must realize that my "work" keeps me very busy. Some days I am so occupied with my tasks that I scarcely have time to sit down and eat, let alone commit my thoughts to pen and paper. Nevertheless, my feelings for you can never change, nor can any testament of time serve to diminish their intensity. My darling...there are times when I've cried like a child realizing that you no longer share this warm bed beside me. I still can smell the sweetness of your hair and taste the soft nectar of your wet cherry lips. If it were at all possible I would reach up and snatch a handful of the very stars themselves, only to see the smile on your face as I hand them to you as a gift.

Tales from New Bethlehem: A ride worth dying for...
It was mid-winter on the streets of New Bethlehem. This time of the year the wind swept through the city cutting a swath like a scythe through all the grime and decay. It's denizens scurried about like rats in their lairs, eager to finish their illegal clandestine activity, after which they would find shelter from the bitter biting cold. Amazingly for all the comforts that mankind's dogged technological efficiency now offered, the elements of nature still held their sway over the souls of most men.

Granny
That damn pie looks so damn good sitting on that stove like that. I knew she would bake it...she always does...every sunday. Surprised the old bitch hasn't burnt the whole damn house down in her state. For some reason cooking evokes a certain level of familiarity in her. It brings back all of her olfactory senses. Its amusing to watch her prancing about with the ingredients...humans make such grand importance out of the most inane little things. Especially this one here...oh she's really a gotdamn piece of work. Look at the silly way she places such care when mixin up the tiny bits of minced beef with pieces of celery, carrots, and onions.
