Extract Taken from Professor Zaragoza's Official Biography

The Zykill workers' transition into everyday society proved incredibly straightforward. "Seemingly overnight, thousands of deformed, disabled, defective children entered our towns and cities," recalls leading sociologist, Professor Mervin Beake. "It was as if every business, shop and factory employed a Zykill child. They were so polite, personable, efficient, be it selling a morning paper at a train station or sweeping the roads. As far as I remember, there was no resentment or hostility towards them, as there had been for immigrant workers in the past. Maybe ordinary people didn't see them as a threat, only harmless cripples prepared to do poorly-paid menial work for a living."
