Grar! *bangs head against desk*
Damnit! Writer's block! I'm trying to write something and sound super smart about genetic testing (having to do with my story Relic) but....ugh! grrr!!! *bangs head repeatedly against table*

So the story will be delayed a little since what I'm trying to explain is ESSENTIAL to the story and I need time to figure out a way to make it work

helpful idears are luffed. here's what I have so far (no names listed for quotage)

Quote:
"And the Zacharee Corporation used to run test on people that were taken off the street."
"You mean kidnapping."
"Yes. Anyway, the four of them were subjected to tests like they were lab rats."
"What were the tests?"
"I don't know. I just know that they were a part of a group that had failed. A group that passed the tests was those you call the Fetish Trio."
"Those guys were the results of a SUCCESSFUL test?!"
"As were the Grims."
"How the hell are visible mutations successful? I thought genetic testing was going the way of the Nazi's regime: if Jim Bob doesn't look like Alexander Worthington, a couple of tweaks to the DNA strand will make the two twins!"
"Except that genetic mutations have proven to be handy in wartime combat. Their stamina surpassed that of someone without testing."


Should I put an action sequence here and save the rest for a revalation towards the end of the story; or just get all out of the way? (and if you choose the second choice, idears are helpful)

Damn that writer's block! lol
Genetic mutations are probably the hardest to accomplish, since it alters ALL the DNA in the person to reflect the change... havent heard of it being done. But all it takes is a chromosone in the wrong place with the wrong genetic code to make a person different. Mutated, though, would be something different. Like putting something in the code that wouldn't usually be there. I forget what they represent, but ALL DNA are made up of T, C, A and R chromosones.
So, say they found an element X that actually was accepted into the genetic code, and they were changing the placements of this piece within the DNA. They would get different results with this for every placement of it.

... am i making things worse here?
Definately do an action scene next, LOL!
