Darkome

Before the bio-terror attack, Darkome was a place where DIY genetics enthusiasts could communicate in peace. After the attack, they were pushed deep underground by a brutal government response. The perpetrators were from Darkome, and the biohacker community was simply too dangerous to be allowed to exist.Inara was a member of Darkome, but was forced to leave when she realised she had a rare form of cancer which could only be controlled by accepting an Aspis medchip. It could monitor her health and pump her full of a cocktail of drugs to combat her illness, but it went against everything Darkome stood for. She had to choose between her community and her life.But now Inara's Aspis appears to have malfunctioned. She can edit her own DNA on the fly, make herself stronger, improve her eyesight, move faster. It could be the genetic breakthrough of the millenium, but only if she can figure out how it works. And manage to stay ahead of everyone else who wants this new secret, and don't care if she dies as a result. Chased by Aspis, Darkome and the government, her new skills may be the only way Inara has to survive... but they may cost her everything, including her humanity...
