Thirdfain, if you basically build false person out of a Floater there will be ways of finding it. There's no question about that.
And why is that? The differences between Human and Floater genetic stock are entirely artificial, and easily changed. Additionally, the process used for agents is designed specifically to fool medical tests. The agent's DNA may not precisely match that of the person he is imitating, but there is no way you would be able to specifically tell he was a Floater.

Besides, I have sold my genemodding tech to the DE, the KSE, and the PSR. It is pretty widespread, about now...

But the fact that extensive tinkering had been made on the basic genetic level would be detectable if one was willing to look.

And no, it doesn't prove it was Floater. But you did do other things to incrimnate yourself.

Such as? I hope you don't mean the poison- you should know that Floater chemicals are sold galaxywide, including ultracurare, which, like it's parent drug, can be used in medicine.

No, but one can add two and two. Besides the poison is reason enough to blame you. I doubt there are many groups that have both abilities.

The KSE, PSR and such have no reason to slaughter my shipworkers after all.

Hell, anyone can have both abilities- if you have the genemodding tech for one, you can do the other.

But that's besides the point. This wasn't a UFR operation, any more then the Kokand pirates were an Asgard operation.

Anyone with genemodding techniques could make agents like this. Additionally, we loaned two dozen such agents to the Monacorans earlier (posted, though you probably wouldn't know, as it was a secure communique.)

He could have come from anywhere.

I feel bad for all the people you killed, dood- there was only one agent on the shipyard.

So
you're admitting guilt then?
hmm hmm, maybe maybe :)

this has been a fun STGOD, for a lot of the time. It has been an honest pleasure.

Straha, WTF?!?! That was the most wankfest thing YET. A super biological agent that no one knows ANYTHING about and is spread INSTANTLY across worlds. I'll tell you what that kills....this fucking STGOD.

A biological agent like that is within the realm of possibility...Maybe not the spreading instantly part, but the secrecy, yeah.

Instantly across worlds? HELL NO! It's highly contagious is all, spreading across worlds is not a factor, nor is it designed to be a factor. It is just like some of the agents the U.S. has now, except that it kills in a different way.

Not to mention insanely stupid. When everyone notices that two areas are not being effected in any way shape or form every fleet in the sector would pour into Earth orbit and wipe them off the map. Then they will strike at the nations colonies and vaporize those as well.

Sure if they don't run out of supplies first, and if the diesease didn't get into the ship.

Given that people have constantly crossed the sector in hours and everyone ships are buttoned up and on alert that doesn’t seem real likely. Anyway, the rather large number of Kokand ships where established to be able to run and fight without crews on about the second page of this STGOD.

True, but then you have no way of defeating my army without a crew and a way to break through the shielding they possess.

Its called orbital bombardment, the ships wont give a fuck about environmental damage, just there last order which would probably be something like exterminate your Empire at all costs. Your shield will not hold if the fleets 1000 odd axillaries and transports decide to ram it, and deorbiting hulks damaged in action always works. It also will not hold if the ground underneith is molten. BDZ level attacks are possibul with this STGOD's firepower.

Yeah, Straha, Alyrium has it right. Such a move would cause the unification of all galactic powers against you.
