>NEWS BRIEF COMMENCES<
After many years of research, experimentation, and finally implementation, the Dominion of Godular is proud to announce the first Generation of Godulan Citizenry made up entirely of genetically enhanced humans. A nationwide effort went into effect over the past several years to regulate pregnancies and conceptions so that the genetic modifications could be put into place. After much hard work and toil, the Governate was pleased to announce that every single child born in the past ten years was part of the "New Breed" of Godulans.
"It took us slightly longer than usual because we didn't want to risk retro-active gene mods," Grand Poobah Cassius Longarm stated during a press conference, "We really didn't want to have to play 'trial and error' with people who were already fully developed."
The genetic modifications are purported to present the following benefits:
-Heightened Intelligence and Willpower
-Improved Reflexes / Reaction Time
-Heavier Bone Density, making them somewhat hardier
-Heavier Muscle Density, making them somewhat stronger
-Improved Cardiovascular system, enabling better breathing and short-term resistance to vacuum exposure
-Improved Immune System, allowing greater resistance to disease and even some poisons.
-Phostosynthetic Skin, enabling higher endurance capacities, particularly in sunlight, and the ability to hold one's breath indefinitely while in sunlight.
This last feature in the modification caused somewhat of a stir among what used to be a faction of Nazis that had somehow managed to remain hidden within the depths of Godulan society up until they started attempting to assassinate the various archons. After two failed assassination attempts, all the neo-nazis were rounded up and either executed or sent to a desert world with no chance of escape or a happy ending.
Last reports were that they had been annihilated by some indigenous group calling themselves the "Free Men" but details are sketchy as to what caused the attack or the nature of the attackers.
Beyond this, effort has also been exerted to facilitate through genetic means an improved capacity for the Symbiotic Implantation of dying M'Lekk'Torr, a program which is expected to finish up next year. This symbiosis is expected to strengthen even further all military units and especially the genetically modified future soldiers.
When asked about how the unmodified humans will be dealt with, Cassius responded with "You'll live on, and when you pass on, there will simply be a modified human there to take your place. For the unmodified people it will simply be business as usual. It may sound callous, but truth be told the old species will simply be phased out of circulation."
The Godulan populace took this all in good stride. "Hey, I know where I'm going in my next life, why should I care what happens when I die? You make it sound like some of us should be expressing some kind of moral outrage about this or something."
Further comments as events warrant.
