News Anchor: Good evening Boston, tonight we are bringing you breaking news on the escaped group of Subs, last spotted fleeing GENESIS (GENetically Engineered Sub-human Initiative for Success) facilities. These facilities are responsible for the enforcement of recent government mandates that all functioning social security numbers be limited to those humans that can essentially perform daily tasks without the extra risks associated with non-engineered DNA. The unfortunate anomalies that are unable to receive modification are, as we all know, weaker and not capable of higher brain function. According to official reports, this particular escaped group of Subs were scheduled for transit to the incubation barracks for cryogenic freezing and later experimentation when a strange (and irregular) breach in security allowed one of the more advanced specimens to use a guard’s keycard to swipe them out. His methods are still unknown, as these Subs are known to posses little to no real planning skills or ability to collaborate. The guard in question has since been taken in for questioning by National Security. The general public should not be at all concerned; these creatures present no danger to normally-engineered individuals. However, that being said, everyone should remain vigilant and on the lookout for the escapees until they are rounded up and delivered to the GENESIS barracks. If spotted, please contact this station or your local police department.

Join us after these commercial breaks for a scintillating debate on the merits of artificial lab-grown muscle tissue versus the innovative new bio-mechanical bodily supplements.
