Line 40:
* [[Amazon Brigade]]: Furies are genetically engineered [[Super Soldiers]] (well, bodies for supersoldiers, anyway). It was discovered that their brains being designed for combat made them all overly aggressive and wild, so to balance these tendencies they are only produced as biologically female. In a brilliant PR move, the company producing them decided to turn a minor inconvenience into a marketing point by making the Furies as beautiful and sexy as possible without harming their combat capabilities...
** Actually the furies only tend to be biologically female but are not always. The book entry mentions the use of gene sequences promoting co-operation and pack mentalities to counteract hot heads.
** 'Fury morphs tend to be female' is a thing that later supplements are getting away from, going back to a more even gender distribution. Justified in-setting as having finally worked out the bugs in the design.
* [[Ancient Conspiracy]]: Millions (possibly billions) of years old.
* [[And I Must Scream]]: All sorts of chilling stuff can happen to you if your Ego (ie, your conciousness) ends up in the wrong hands. For example the Ultimates are rumored to download indentured infomorphs into deaf, visually limited flats with no AR implants.
