Echoes of a Broken Day
Downtime
Wrapping my head around things
Not going to lie, it's taken me a couple of days to wrap my head around things. A week ago, I was sitting in the bar, minding my own business, not sure what I was going to do with myself when I get the boot, which has to be coming sooner rather than later. I mean, we all know it. The whole damn unit looks at me when they don't think I'll notice. Which is its own kind of crazy, because they have to know I'll notice, right? It makes me jumpy. Jumpier. Whatever. It makes me jumpier when they look at me like they're waiting for me to lose it.
So given where my head is, it's not all that crazy that I am wondering if I imagined the whole damn thing. I mean, I knew magic was a thing, I even thought maybe a time or two I saw something back when I was in that hole in the ground. But there's a huge difference between experience and knowledge. That's something Gunny drilled into us for years, but I don't think it ever felt as... as real... as it does now.
And any time I start to doubt, all I need to do is look at my new toy. I wonder what the boys would think of her? I'm not even sure what I think of her. The weird dude who started all this? He wasn't lying, that's for sure.
Now, every time I hear footsteps, I start to wonder if it's him again. Another chance. A chance for more. And at what point will it not matter what the Navy decides to do with me? Can I be both? Should I?

Range Time
So, when I used my new gun, I wasn't really expecting it to shoot ball lightning or whatever the hell that shit is. Is it bad of me that I'm glad I learned about that little effect while on a contract. Better not take that gun with me into the field, assuming I'm ever let back into the field again. Assuming they don't discharge me. Yet.
As I've gone on these Contracts, I've realized that I still manage just fine in the moment. When the adrenalin's high, I'm still me. It's only in the middle of the night when I wake up shivering and covered in sweat that I'm not the woman I always knew I was. That I second guess my life and every choice I made that brought me to this point.
Anyway, Sparky and I went out into the woods to see what She can do and daaaamn. Let's just say that I feel better knowing I have Her as my back up. Even if I think I should maybe keep her a little more... discrete... as I move forward.
Gen-Wyld: Beyond Natural
On March 14, 2018, a little-known company named Gen-Wyld announced FDA approval for a groundbreaking procedure to enhance a patient’s primary and secondary sexual characteristics using gene therapy. The company was an overnight success.
Shortly thereafter, they introduced a suite of gene-altering body modification procedures that allowed patients to make dramatic aesthetic changes to their bodies by gene-splicing “non-human” anatomy. Those daring (and wealthy) enough can now add cuttlefish pigmentation to their skin, sport a pair of fox ears, and even add a functional tail. While rare, these so-called “modders” draw plenty of hate from conservative communities.
Thanks to their revolutionary procedures, Gen-Wyld is now a household name. Norman Carlson, Gen-Wyld’s chief evangelist, recently announced the company is in the trial phase for a groundbreaking treatment for diabetes.
Yet despite their success, a shroud of secrecy surrounds Gen-Wyld. Their no-patent policy obscures the secrets of their procedures from the public eye. Financial experts claim that Gen-Wyld is run less like a traditional business and more like an NGO with some specific, unknown objective.
Some claim that they will not stop until humanity has been reduced to monstrous slaves and that Gen-Wyld’s board of directors will install themselves as inhuman overlords of the new world order.
However, until the true secrets behind Gen-Wyld are discovered, the genetic biotech firm will continue to grow, develop, and progress its grand designs.
