Zhora's Retraining

Zhora was "retrained" for political homicide. Three questions here:<BR><BR>1. Does anyone know (or have an idea of) what her original purpose would have been?<BR><BR>2. Who would own an assassin replicant? A private (wealthy and powerful) citizen or a government agency?<BR><BR>3. What type targets would she have been given?<BR><BR>I ask these questions because I assume that she would not have been retrained just to become a rogue agent. I figure that someone had to send her back to Tyrell Corporation to have her modified, but why?

its not so sci-fi that big corporations interfere with states policies and actions perhaps tyrell.inc wanted to have another way to support its policies and commerce..that of force and violence

In DADOES it explains that 'andys' (replicants) were originally manufactured as Synthetic Freedom Fighter soldiers and that after World War Terminus, the migration from Earth to Mars created a demand for slave/servants which were used as an incentive to encourage people to leave Earth - to meet this new demand any surviving SFF soldiers were retrained and any new andy's were created to serve their human masters.<BR><BR>I would say that goes someway to explain Zhora's retraining...<BR><BR>_________________<BR><!-- BBCode Start --><IMG SRC="http://www.deckard.worldonline.co.uk/filez/BR26354.gif" BORDER="0"><!-- BBCode End --><BR><BR>Richard Gunn<BR>News and Content Manager for Bladezone<BR><!-- BBCode Start --><A HREF="mailto:richardg@bladezone.com">richardg@bladezone.com</A><!-- BBCode End --><BR><BR><font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Deckard BR26354 on 2002-03-13 06:57 ]</font>

I never really understood what the World War Therminus was all about and why would they need SFF.<BR><BR><BR>
