casting a wide net here because i am seriously so lost and the internet is not helping. i tried going to sublime's website and all i got was a lot of pretty words signifying nothing i can actually understand.

seriously this is confusing.

what the devil is transpecies?

that

sounds legitimately terrifying.

It was. When Professor Xavier found me it'd gotten so bad most of them aren't... Human anymore. They're like big scary frog humans.

But they used to be people. They used to just want to start fires and teleport and freeze things and it just... Wasn't what they asked for.

you cant force that kind of thing. even if you had good intentions, biology is completely amoral. it doesnt care what becomes of your humanity when you force yourself to be something youre not, i guess.

There's... More than that. I think... I think the scientists could have made the drugs better. They mutated me and I was fine. But Fontaine...

[He scowls.]

Fontaine sold the drugs and all he cared about was money. He knew it would drive them crazy and he didn't care. Otherwise... Maybe...

[kickstart_my_heart]

thats greed for you, i guess.

[the_prodigal_son]

Fontaine ruined everything. I hate him. I'm glad he's dead.

[He groans.]

In Rapture we called uh... Transspecies... People... Splicers. Gene splicers. Because the drug changed their DNA and gave them the powers they wanted.

the blokes i read about havnt gone that far.

yet.

but the psychological circumstances probably werent that different. feelings of insecurity. disenfranchisement. fear of mediocrity.

[the_prodigal_son]

Well, ADAM fixed that... Everyone felt normal when everyone was splicing, and then everyone went crazy and thought they were the only one that mattered.

[Huff.]

I guess if those people you read about want it bad enough they'll figure it out...

[kickstart_my_heart]

hope they get help and it doesnt come to that

[the_prodigal_son]

I hope so.

[Or maybe one of Tenenbaum's girls can set them up with something ADAM-esque. Scary.]
