- Taggart stepped around to the front of the limo and nodded again. "My
- friends," he began, "it fills me with hope to be here today, to talk to
- these good people and present our point of view to them. At no other time in
- human history have we found ourselves at so delicate a juncture,
- when the very nature of what we are is under threat by scientific avarice
- ungoverned by any moral code or-"
- It happened with unnatural speed and violence, with a fierce, controlled
- power that could have come only from the union between human will and
- machine strength. A muscular figure in a security officer's jacket slipped out
- from behind one of the Belltower patrol vehicles and punched the closest guard with
- such force that he spun and bounced off the hood of the car.
- The man swept in, pivoting on one leg to kick away a second
- Belltower trooper, the heel of his boot smashing the gold visor across his
- face. He dropped, blocking the falling blow from a crackling electro
- prod as a third man tried to tackle him; the attacker rose back just as quickly,
- brutally snapping the man's arm against the direction of the joint,
- putting him down in a screaming heap.
- All this in less than a few seconds, every motion and attack powered by
- nerve-jacked, hyperaccelerated reflexes and brute-force cybernetics.
