Retribution Or Reconciliation — Paul Williams

Robert Otic Armstrong is a young man aged fifteen with an academic mind way in advance of the scientific world to-date, living as a clandestine-vanguard among medical explorers as he exploits the tools of nanotechnology in the manipulation of biomolecules that regulate life and death. Advances in science have always fuelled innovation in medicine and nanotechnology is no exception, however, the very essence in his style of research would send shivers throughout the scientific world as indeed many researchers have been terrified of just this very scenario since the dawn of human gene therapy experiments began less than a decade ago. Scientists have come a long way in ten years regarding this technology and have currently built a solid foundation in which biological computers are capable of processing simple interactive commands with living human cells. You may indeed find this part interesting, in that the sophistication of biological computerisation made from DNA and proteins is able to diagnose molecular symptoms of certain diseases by releasing therapeutic nano-molecules. However, clandestine and bizarre advances in nanotechnology have allowed -one person in particular- the ability to block uncontrolled replication of DNA errors such as cancerous diseases and aging; building new replacement cell nuclei and ribosomes with programmable duplicative nanobots the size of a bacterium. -Upgrading the human genetic code and super enhancing abilities-. This technology is advancing with amazing speed, and only one person has figured out what to do with his conceived gigabyte offspring. Robert Otic Armstrong. Not necessarily for the benefit of mankind.
