Can't Burn Ashe

by Kessie-Louise

Ashe is the first successful fusion of Reploid and human DNA through a simulated human-based birth. She's practically famous. However, her mother Ren Bonne, master of the local black market, has kept Ashe from the public eye for as long as she could. After Ashe finds a Reploid in an old lab, the truth of her heritage will come spilling out, and not even Ren can stop the truth. [AU]

Headline: Babe Born With Bytes

. . .

It's hard to surprise this old reporter anymore. But today marks an occasion so spectacular and so rare, that even I nearly fell over with shock and awe. You see, dear readers, today we have greeted the first babe born from the fusion of human DNA and Reploid DNA. The child's name you ask? Ashe Bonne.

Some of my faithful readers would be asking 'Bonne? Isn't that the name of the folks who run the black market on the corner of Teondinn & Occamp?' Yes my dear readers, the exact same. Not all details are known about why this certain family was chosen, considering the odd goings on around the area- it certainly wouldn't be where I would want to raise my child. The brunt of the controversy about this child is centered around Mrs Ren Bonne, head of the black market herself. Mrs Bonne was once known as Reploid Model 53X at the Nouveau Moulin Rouge thirty years ago, wherein Mrs Bonne's programming was illegally altered by the late Di Bonne (DOD January 26 21XX, aged 87) and soon rose to be one of the most feared ladies in this generation without holding any political power.

Only time can tell for what will happen to this precocious child. God knows she'll need it...
