Generation Modified
The New Life Investigation Laboratories in London has announced that they have achieved the creation of new, genetically modified human life. Spokesperson Andrew Elway stated late last night that they have “...managed to create a series of humanoid life forms with different ‘superhuman’ characteristics.” NLIB has told the times that they have been working on the project for decades now, and have finally succeeded in creating eight creatures, ranging from one to seven years of age...

New species of Human
People often vow to start a new life in the new year, but for NLIB (The New Life Investigation Laboratories) here in London, the statement is quite literal.

New ‘BOIs’ on the Block
Finally the human race can say they have achieved what Dr Frankenstein attempted in the books, The creation of humanoid life. New Life Investigation Laboratories in London have completed their ‘BOI’ series (Biologically Original Investigation) with the modification of human DNA. According to their spokesperson, they are ‘prime examples of the human body, but are different in so many ways from us.’ NLIB have announced that they are going to continue observing and testing these creations and may create more...

Humanoid Mutations for Sale
New Life Investigation Laboratories in London has recently announced that they are to create more of their humanoid creatures that will be available for sale as soldiers, servants or even pets to the general public once they have reached the age of 16. It is still a long while yet, a minimum of six years - when the eldest will turn 16, but NLIB believes they can speed up the aging process on their new specimens and halt it when they reach sixteen.

Big Price Tag, Small Creature
Ever since the announcement by NLIB last October that they will be selling their BOIs, the public has been dying for some information on the subject. And finally we have some. It has been revealed that their first and eldest mutation (or mutt), the eleven year old male known as X-Boi, will cost 14 million pounds. The prize for the most expensive, though, goes to almost 10 year old female Storm-Boi, who will cost 11 BILLION pounds. This makes it the most valuable human in the world at the moment, despite the fact it isn’t human. It is rumoured that the nine year old mutt is a weapon of mass destruction and over five different countries are vying for it. It has not yet been confirmed by the minister for defense that Australia is one of these countries. It is not known what amazing abilities these mutts possess but they must be...
