Trombone2525 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Equestria has changed. Technology corporations have taken over politics, the economy, everything. The Princess is just figurehead for the CEO's who actually run the land. And nopony seems to mind. They go about their lives, and they enjoy the new advances. But some ponies feel that something is missing...One thing that has become the norm is giving your children genetic modifications, or genemods, before birth. These range from better eyesight, stronger wings, specific coat colour, magical ability (though this one is not very popular), and a whole range of other things. This is where you are now."Alright, so you have selected genemods for intellegence, a green coat, brown mane, and curiosity. Before we fill out all the paperwork, I would like to present you an opportunity. There is a new genemod, but it is still in its testing phase. If you allow us, you would be the first parents with a child that does not require sleep. In lab tests, this has brought about no negative side effects, but we wont know for sure until the birth. Are you interested?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allanon Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Allanon says nothing, merely watching the assembled group with an eye of critique (Not to mention that the other one was glass.) He grasps the hilt of Narsil, his dark broadsword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trombone2525 Posted November 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Forte follows his eyes, looking around the room at the assembled scientists. He then eyes the sword nervously. The security guards had tried to get him to leave it at the front door, but Allanon fought pretty hard to keep it."Um, Mr. Allanon? Your decision?"

Allanon Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 The Druid did not reply immediately. He loosens his grasp on the hilt, and walks around the room, still watching everyone. He finally says "I strongly suggest that you test for allergenic problems before releasing this...genemod..." He spoke with a dark and commanding voice.He then says "I also suggest providing this option to one who has a spouse, unlike myself. I am only here to enforce that no....problems....arise within this chamber." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightBlackhorn Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Shadowmane stood outside the room. [colour=#006400]That Allanon is one tough bloke. Wonder what the sword is all about.[/colour] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allanon Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Allanon hold his grip on the blade, and says "That is my input. My concern is the safety of the patient, not the genemodifier itself. It is not a pretty sight when folks mutate from allergenic reactions..."

Trombone2525 Posted November 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 "Oh, that is not how genemods work. There's no chance of spontanious mutation, malignant or benign. At least, not with registered genemods. And, you cant really have an allergic reaction to a gene... All genemods are made in utero. We assure you, all of our genemods are safe. Even the sleepless genemod. It will not cause any psycological damage, and it will not cause mental retardation. We are just unsure of what all other effects may be."

MidnightBlackhorn Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 " We are just unsure of what all other effects may be."Hearing this, Shadowmane was taken aback. They don't know, but they do it anyways?He decided to listen closer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allanon Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Allanon growls and says "Ira mea est magna! You have the audacity to release a product of which you are unsure what the affects are?" He regains his composure, and slowly walks towards the door.

Trombone2525 Posted November 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Forte looked after Allanon distressed. He didnt understand the scientific process. But then again, when do government agents ever really understand what they are enforcing. The Sleepless genemod is not dangerous. Tests on rats and other animals have been rousing successes, with the animals seeming to not only not require sleep, but also to be smarter, more curious, and even happier. The scientists know that the genemod wont be harmful to ponies, but they are unsure to what extent the other effects, the intelligence, curiosity, and happiness, will carry over to ponies.

Allanon Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Allanon looked back at Forte before leaving and said "By the way...I am no agent of this corrupted government. I can see things you cannot, and in many ways most never thought possible. I know what I speak of..." He then vanished into thin air, leaving not a trace of his being there.

Trombone2525 Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Forte was puzzled at Allanons words. Could a Sleepless generation end up changing the world? If so, would it be for the better? He didnt know. But he wasnt going to let a strange ponies puzzling comments stop scientific progress. He went back to work with the other scientests and waited for the next customer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderHorse Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Tipper had seen the one with the sword disappear, and looked on in surprise. His afro-style mane touched the roof slightly, and his white vest sparkled in the light, signalling his presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderHorse Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 "Must? Sir, I have had permission to enter thus far! Anyways, I was hoping for a genemod that has the capability to give one wings. I have a friend, see, and her desire to fly is a bit... excessive.."
