In 2021, one person in ten goblinized into an ork or a troll. These days, you get something like four or five hundred changes a year, worldwide, without a goblin parent, and numbers are dropping. The chances of any given sape-sape going gobbo is less than their chances of choking to death on their nutrisoy.

The chances that one of the people who does goblinize in the twenty-sixties happened to be born into a family of middle-management that spend their weekends in white hoods should be statistically nil, or was an absolute certainty. Depending on how sick the universe's sense of humor happens to be. I suppose it would be funnier if it was happening to somebody else.

Not that I'm sorry it happened. Vut, you couldn't pay me enough to go back. I've always had a talent for making things, and here, I get to use it in ways my parents never could have dreamed of. I'm part of a people that's making something completely new out of a hole under the ground and a book from a dragon's hoard. I make my new family from my old gang, my new home, my crew. Now I run the shadows. People like who I could've been sit in their cubicles dreaming about doing the things I do.

I'm not saying that my new life has been perfect, but shaa'z--I'm an ork, I can tough it out. But it's not just me anymore. When their second daughter goblinized, my parents had something better in mind than throwing her in a hole and ignoring her forever. She was scheduled for a flight to a clinic one some island, where they 'cure' goblinized and changeling kids. There isn't a cure, of course, but there is surgery and BTL brain-frying. You can get back the kid you want, more or less.

I saved her. So now I take care of her. She's not adjusting so well--it's tough, I know. I'm trying to reign things in, a little. Cut back on the beetles. Maybe if I'd saved some nuyen, instead of having it implanted...

Buunda. Can't do anything about it now. I look after her. God help anyone who tries to stop me.
