the heart of Dixie (part one)

..as Enhanced Perception was thought of as..beyond human....many Mind Augment Companies justified their actions that went  beyond normal law

Dixie Shaker
a second generation Neuronaut
had left the organization
when her mentor threatened to expose (amongst other things)
an abortion Dixie had had  during her senior year at Stanford
she had fallen in "like a lot" with a handsome graduate student who, like herself wanted "in'
on the  Bio technology industry still in it's infancy
at least in the public sector

Dixie explained to her mentor that her level Seven Neuronaut coarse load
was too much
and that she needed to focus solely on her
academic studies
which included
Nanotechnology as well as
classes in Interfaced Augmented Cognition one application of
her studies in transcription monitoring of another's brainwaves
was originally
thought of as
integral
to her
participation with Neuronautics
in fact
a fund was provided her to
"study abroad" amongst
the ruiners

someone must have informed The group
that she had
signed on to
private start up
that had nothing to do with
brain signal transcription

but interfaced perceptions for both the blind and deaf
.
Dixie swore to her mentor that she would 'pick up"
with her Neuronaught course load
when
she had made "a dent" in her
graduate thesis

-----------
her mentor
explained
that Neuronautics

especially
at the Tier she had reached
was NOT something\g one just
"picked up"

at their convenience
