Which Book for Raccoon Vignette
Which book has the little vignette about the uplifted raccoons escaping from the government facility?
Is it a THS book or Biotech? -Dan |

Re: Which Book for Raccoon Vignette
Well, TS118 says to use the coons from BIO, so they're one and the same 'thing', but the story is in BIO, yes.
CotE10 mentions Doolittle Virus-afflicted Raccoons. BD140 mentions raccoons hacking home security. |

Re: Which Book for Raccoon Vignette
Do they really called them "coons"?

Re: Which Book for Raccoon Vignette
The official template name is Neo-Coon, and it is usually referred as such in text. I think one referred to them as 'coons (with the apostrophe).

Re: Which Book for Raccoon Vignette
Weird. So things like 'coonskin cap' are perceived to be about hats made from human skin as opposed to made of a raccoon?

Re: Which Book for Raccoon Vignette
Not when applied to a raccoon. It's like using the b-word with female dogs.

Re: Which Book for Raccoon Vignette
Yes, except when used explicitly in the context of discussing raccoons.
At any rate, the species are called Neo-Coons, not Coons, so there's no need for concern.
