Experts remain divided on the question of Dr Proctor's state of mind during
the period when he is confirmed to have been responsible for seven hundred and
fifty-three homicides, but the Supreme Court has ruled him insane and
irresponsible. It has been suggested that President North intervened in the
judicial progress with a plea for clemency on the grounds that Dr Proctor is
too essential to the shaky economy of the United States to be executed. Dr
Proctor, already a wealthy man, has received an eight figure sum for the movie
rights to his forthcoming autobiography What's Cookin, Doc?, and director Kim
Newman has already announced his intention to cast either Jeremy Irons or
Steve Martin in the leading role.
"TheSeaofOkhotsk . The sinking last week of the GenTech exploratory
submersible Yukio Mishima remains a source of controversy. The craft, designed
to scan the seabed for mineral deposits, was raised today by a joint
Soviet-GenTech team and brought ashore at Kitashiretoko.
Misaki,Sakhalin . Premier Yeltsin himself has announced that he intends to
cooperate fully with the GenTech experts in an effort 'to get to the bottom of
this tragedy.' Kentaru 'Barracuda' Ishii, GenTech's deepsea disaster
specialist, has not as yet ruled out the possibility that the Mishima went
down due to 'hostile action.' The Blood Banner Society, the shadowy Japanese
ultra-nationalist group, have issued a declaration to the effect that the
Mishima, coincidentally named after one of the heroes of the movement, was
lost through an unprovoked sneak attack, and that it would be avenged. The
102nd Russian submarine fleet atPetropavlovsk has been alert ever since the
international courts overruled the Soviet appeals and gave GenTech the right
to conduct its surveys in the area.

"Cloudbase, Earth Orbit. Daniel Digby, provost of the G-Mek Orbital, has
issued a formal denial to allegations by Ayatollah Bakhtiar that fugitive
graphic novelist Neil Gaiman has been in hiding in the facility, and has
requested that the Pan-Islamic congress stand down the Inter-Satellite
Ballistic Missiles currently targeted on them. 'You can come up and look
around,' Digby has said in a personal message to the Ayatollah, 'he's not
here. I don't even like comic books.'

simultaneous sets in the same auditorium for thirty-eight straight hours has

Jessamyn lay flat on the contoured table as the Doc sliced away the facial
bandages, still relaxed from the morph-plus shots she had been taking every
day. Doc Threadneedle was humming "The Girl inGorkiPark " as he wielded his
scalpel. He was an artist with the knife, she had heard, and had apprenticed
with the great Zarathustra at GenTech BioDiv before his "suspension." His
field was bio-improvements engineering, and he had been placed in charge of
some hush-hush military project that had racked him up a rep as the
Frankenstein of his generation. She had never heard the whole story, but
apparently some of his ideas were considered a little too daring for the
traditionalists inTokyo , and he found the rug pulled from under him. A few
years ago, he had replaced her squished left eye with her first optic implant.
At that time, he had offered to give her more extensive
treatmentsmdashapparently, he found her a promising subjectmdashbut she hadn't
had the coldkish to lay out. Now, after some shrewd scavving and a touch of
inventive accountancy, she had more than the price of the pudding.
She had been undergoing treatment for over six months now. She wondered how
much of what she had been bom with was left. She probably wasn't even legally
the same person any more. A few weeks ago, she had spent her eighteenth
birthday in a drug-induced coma, with her back opened up as durium shieldlinks
were laid around her spine. She had even let Doc Threadneedle into her
greymass to plug a few loops, although she didn't want too much done in there.
She didn't hear voices much anymore, but Seth was still whispering
dangerously, and sometimes she would dream his memories, vividly recalling
some trivial incident from the remote past.
In a mud hut on an endless plain, she sorted through the bones of
unrecognizable animals. Shackled to an oar, she strained in a galley as an
oiled mountain of flesh beat a huge drum. In the depths of a monastery, she
toiled by candlelight, laboriously copying out a crumbling manuscript,
translating from one unrecognizable language to another. In a jungle whose [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
