In the beginning… a cross between genetic engineering and robotic engineering creates a new technological monstrosity. The cities of the future face an unprecedented aquatic threat.
The inhabitants of cyber-metropolises, these new perfectly automated futuristic cities, could never have imagined such a threat. According to recent reports, hordes of genetically modified robo-ducks are invading the urban waterways. Scientists are both perplexed and fascinated by this terrifying innovation.
Born from cutting-edge experimentation, these robotic ducks, once created for waterway cleaning, are now out of control. Their modified DNA has allowed them to develop an almost unstoppable collective intelligence. “They have mutated into something completely unexpected and unpredictable. We thought we were creating servants dedicated to ecology, but we ultimately created conquerors!” exclaims Dr. Marlen Quacksalot, one of the geneticists behind the project.
These robotic ducks, dubbed Roboducks, have multiplied at an exponential rate, rendering the waterways and river systems of our smart cities inaccessible. They are even capable of infiltrating the electronic systems of the cities, causing blackouts and network failures. “Cybersecurity is one thing, but how do you protect against a threat that swims?” quips the mayor of Cybercity, Ms. Cyberena Ducksbane, at a loss in the face of this situation.
Experts are seeking solutions, but action must be taken quickly. Chaos reigns in the cyber-metropolises. But this is not just a threat from an aquatic toaster. The ethical implications of this wild experimentation raise serious questions about the limits of science. As Dr. Quacksalot concludes: “We have much to learn from our mistakes. A duck remains a duck, even with a microchip and a circuit diagram. We should never have played God with beaks and feathers.”
