EARTH FORCES DATABASE - THE INVITROS
|
|
BACKGROUND: • Artificially designed human beings, grown in gestation tanks. Conceived by invitro fertilization. Genetic material from several human beings is used to optimize the chances of getting the best traits possible. • Gestation takes between 5 and 6 years. The Invitro is decanted (or born) at the physiological age of 18 years. Only 27% percent of subjects survive the gestation process. During the gestation, InVitros are educated in several subjects through a neural implant at the base of their skulls. • Identifiable by embryal scar (navel) on the back of their necks (where the artificial umbilical cord was attached in the gestation chamber). • Originally bred in an effort to rebuild the Earth's workforce. When the AI Wars broke out, most were conscripted in the Armed Forces against their will. • Most Invitros turn out to be socially maladjusted individuals and poor soldiers. The lack of family life results in their having neither a need to protect their family nor any sense of patriotism. • The InVitro division of the military was eventually disbanded. Invitros became a rebellious race of political untouchables. • Insultingly referred to as 'tanks'. Second class citizens, often targeted for discrimination. • There is a movement afoot to grant InVitros the same rights and privileges as normal human beings. • Easily addicted to Phyllophetamine, a painkiller used in possible head trauma causes, referred to on the black market as Green Meanies. Causes mood swings, nausea and aggression.
