Hi, I used to post here in 1995, and just discovered that some life has returned to alt.cyberpunk.chatsubo. I am posting a story I wrote some day ago; it would be nice to get some feedback from you folks. Please note that english is not my mother tongue, so I am also happy if you point me to some strange grammer or badly picked vocab. Thanks, Tom. Hail the King All through the 20th century, ever since The King finally kicked the bucket, people have been reporting Elvis-sightings, meeting Him in the street, in strange places or aboard alien space ships. Those people have usually been discredited as being completely nuts, or having had a temporarily mental disorder, whatever appropriate. Personally, I believe those encounters had been preliminary tests before really bringing Him back; early prototypes with obvious similarity in appearance, but lacking the most basic aspects of human behavioural aura. This would explain the space alien theme in that stories, where deam-like movements cater for the superreal feeling of the situation, or maybe the test subjects had just been drugged to heighten their experience. Anyway, all those things stopped, when they really brought Him back in 2038. Necromulation had been a rather unknown scientific discipline by then, but it's popularity with academics rose within days to match that of quantum physics and nanotheory. Most points of public interest were of a more basic nature, of course, and for weeks the arguments in every pub ran just for the topic of - shouldn't they rather have brought back Jimmy Hendrix, or Kurt Cobain, or Arnold Schwarzenegger.         Necromulation [noun] - originates from the original term         Necro-Emulation , meaning the authentic simulation of         a deceased personae. N combines scientific methods from         several fields including Androidology, Neural Simulation,         History and Psychology.
