*sigh* must it always come to violence? How sad. I'm afraid I have no choice then...*presses a little blue button and watches as the ninja begin to dissolve*<P>You see, ninja obviously possess a genetic quirk which, while allowing them to be nigh unstoppable killing machines, makes them idiotic when it comes to jumping. Since this quirk is unique to the Ninja, it makes it relatively easy to destroy them.<P>Using the sequence of the Human Genome a graduate student thoughtfully provided me thanks to my orbital mind-control satellites, it was relatively easy to create a retrovirus which, when encountering the aberrant Ninja gene as a full blown trait (Ninjahood, naturally, being recessive) causes a rather nasty speed-up of the metabolism coupled with a flood of new ultra-powerful white blood cells. These cells, instead of attacking only true intruders to the system, essentially act as the white blood cells of someone with an allergy do, triggering the immune responses. However, instead of a harmless allergen being the target, the bodies own systems are, in fact targeted and destroyed, reducing the hapless Ninja to a pool of pus-like goo.<P>Oh, and as regards your missle platforms- Even assuming a platform-launched missle could truly achieve the orbital height necessary to reach the Legrange points, I have taken the precaution of appropriating several billion dollars worth of 'communications' satellites that are, in fact, early warning and kinetic-kill vehicles intended for alien invasion or nuclear launch. The US Space Command? Please. Vandenberg Air Force Base is only a short drive from here and with the internet, is there any real need to be _near_ a facility to have complete control? *Matt's voice takes on a tone of mock sympathy laced heavily with sarcasm* Oh, I'm afraid my defenses will be quite operational when your missles arrive....<P>Matt. <p>[This message has been edited by matrygg (edited 02-14-2001).]
