A lot of my Latex Splicing Types debuted at the Halloween Party when I
was just experimenting for personal reasons. This type was developed more
recently as I began expanding the program for institutional usage. This is
Type 3 or more informally the Torso Splice.
Like the Inflatable Splice the Torso Splice is very useful for both
patient control and disciplinary measures. While those affected resemble
quadruple amputees their limbs have not been removed, merely receded and they
can be restored without difficulty. However unlike the Inflatable Splice you
can't simply use the reversing agent to return the subject to their flesh and
blood self. If you do they will be restored as a limbless torso and unable to
talk. To restore them fully first they must be respliced with the Anatomical
Splice which restores their limbs though they remain composed of latex.
Then the reversing agent can be used.
As you can imagine being deprived of both limbs and speech is a very
effective deterrent to violent patient behaviour and we find that most of
those who have been spliced this way then restored to flesh and blood with the
anatomical splicing being withheld until they show due respect and deferrence
to the staff become much more co-operative afterwards. It's a very useful and
effective way of teaching them to respect our authority.
It's also a very effective means of swiftly rendering those possessing
deadly martial arts combat skills harmless as was recently demonstrated when
two newly acquired lethal tournament fighters by the names of Kitana and Sonya
Blade made a break for it during Arrival Processing. Fortunately there was a
Blue Orderly armed with one of the new Splicer Dart Guns standing by and she
was able to bring a quick end to their escape bid.
As you can see they were quickly rendered harmless and very bewildered by
new state. Especially since in the tournament they compete in dismemberment
of the loser is common but it's not a survivable experience. We're currently
keeping them under observation in th Therapy Wing to see how a prolonged
existence in this state serves to inhibit their violent desires.
Moving on the fourth and final Splice currently in use also debuted at
the Halloween Party and is known as the Poni Splice.
I think you'll agree that the name accurately reflects the physical
effects. I just thought that an "I" works better that a "Y" since we're
dealing exclusively with female subjects. Like the Torso Splice to reverse
the Poni transformation the subject must first be treated with an Anatomical
Splice before being returned to normal.
The most surprising thing about this transformation is that if the subject
is restored to flesh and blood without Anatomical Splicing first the resulting
quadrapedal modifications give the now flesh and blood subject the strength,
stamina and stature necessary to carry a rider. Doria Ruridou, our head
Physical Trainer immediately saw the potential in this form and is making
extensive usage of it in her physical therapy regime.
By transforming exceptionally lazy patients and staff into Ponis then
restoring them to flesh they're trapped in a form that's effectively designed
for exercising themselves. When restored to their normal forms the benefits
of their exertions carry over and they're much healthier after the rigourous
equestrian regime she's devised. She liked the idea so much that she's had
stables constructed adjoining the Gym so that those assigned to the program
can remain in Poni form for however many days or weeks it takes them to reach
their optimal health status. An unexpected side-effect has been the number
of staff using the Gym and working out regularly has increased raising the
Institute's overall health.
Of course there are still plenty of patients who can benefit from Doria's
exercise regime. Especially since there's little danger of them running off
thanks to a lack of fingers to work doors and gates along with knowing that
their only hope of returning to their normal selves is to work through the
training program.
Here you see two patients who qualified for the regime by the names of
Gina and Cinnamon (I believe they were both committed for incredibly reckless
and possibly suicidally inclined cab driving) being outfitted for their stay
in the stables.
The Delta Latex bodysuits shield them from sunburn while exercising
outdoors and protect their hooves from wearing away much more effectively
than horseshoes would. They can't communicate normally anyway, just whinny,
so the bit doesn't interfere with their speech and ensures they won't try to
bite their riders. Doria feels that dealing with Ponis in an equestrian
atmosphere is the most effective technique so they'll be assigned horsey-type
names for the duration of their stay in the stables. On the bright side they
should enjoy the chance to race around again though this time it'll be under
their own horsepower rather than a car's. Which will be much healthier and
safer for everyone.
That's about it for you Bio Lab tour but there is one last thing.
You might be wondering why there is no Type 1 Splice. In fact there is,
it's the Suit or Skin Splice that Erica demonstrated at the Halloween Party.
However at the present time we have no practical or therapeutic application
for this Splice or for the Type 5 or Stretchy Body variety that was also
fieldtested at the Halloween Party by Cube. So they remain assigned for staff
recreational usage only and I'm keeping the existing supply under lock and key
so no pranksters can get at them.
Other than me, obviously.
While I'd like to tell you more the rest of our research is currently
classified.
If I told you I'd have to splice you so you couldn't pass on any
information.
Right, let's leave this topic and move on.
