The Dry Bones Report Compiled by Liam Butler Rocky Mountain News Special Investigation Artifact #1: 0:00 GMT +00 15/Feb/2051. Video appearing on the SimBiotics, Inc. home page. Woman speaking in front of the R. Nguyen Event Center, Byrne University, Golden, Colorado, U.S.A.

“SimBiotics is a company on the leading edge of revolutions in medical biotechnology, and at this year’s upcoming BodyWorks conference jointly hosted by Byrne University’s Colleges of Medicine and of Life Sciences, SimBiotics is proud to announce the unveiling of our latest world-class healthcare solution: the Victor 6200 3D Bioprinter….” “While many healthcare providers currently offer 3D printings of exact human organ replicas, SimBiotics has taken that technology to a new level. Because catastrophic circumstances can damage more than a single organ at a time, the Victor 6200 will be able to reproduce not just organs for transplant, but an entire body replica of the patient printed under just one hour. No longer will anyone need transplants, plastic surgeries, or physical therapies. Instead, a new printing can be animated while the previous body can be simply discarded….” “Dr. Walter Metzger of the newly revived University of Ingolstadt (proudly sponsored by SimBiotics) invented the Victor 6200 in a record three years’ time, naming it after a childhood literary hero. Metzger will be demonstrating the power of this new SimBiotics technology in a live demonstration at this year’s fifteenth annual BodyWorks conference….” Artifact #2: 16:00 GMT -07 20/Mar/2051. First-hand witness account from Dr. Devdan Asija Premji, concerning Dr. Julian Ryo Okada at College of Life Sciences & College of Medicine Joint Faculty Meeting, Byrne University, Golden, Colorado, U.S.A.

Interviewer (Liam Butler): What happened during the faculty meeting? Premji: Julian has a notorious reputation for falling asleep during faculty budget meetings, so he missed the actual announcement about the SimBiotics presentation at the conference. When I told him what it said, he appeared highly disturbed. I can’t say I liked the implications myself, but I was going to miss the conference to visit family in Mumbai for Easter. Butler: What did Dr. Okada do after that?
