There used to be special drugs for those who worked in the city’s biodesign labs. There is only so much that can be done to living beings before even the most horror-hungry minds break at the sight of things too strange and too familiar. The drugs shut down the parts of the brain that would go insane at the awareness of sentience where there shouldn’t be any and the encounter with degrees of humanity obscenely fine. Without the drugs no progress was possible beyond a certain line farther but stronger than mere decency or disgust.
