Fall Traffic Safety Campaign
Ruse used by Nene to slow up her opponents in the Genom Trophy Rally, imposing a
50kph speed limit on the race. It worked, even fooling her fellow officers.
Fargo
Sylia's middleman between the Knight Sabers and their clients,
Fargo is a scruffy, unassuming man with many contacts in the corporate and criminal
worlds. It is Fargo who brings potential clients to Sylia, and it is he who
arranges for payment to be made into Sylia's accounts. He has a penchant for
arranging meetings with Sylia in ever more unusual locations.
Fargo first met with Sylia on a beach one winter. He is attracted to her, but she
is unlikely to reciprocate.
Fault Line
A huge crack in the ground that bisects the city of Mega Tokyo into north
and south regions. It was created in the Second Great Kanto Earthquake of
2025. Although partly flooded by the waters of Tokyo Bay, and used by people
as a convenient dump site, parts of the fault line have already been redeveloped
(land still being at a premium in Japan). Raven's Garage is built in the fault.
The redeveloped part of the fault is sometimes called Timex City.
FA 307
Registration of an ADP mini-pato once used by Nene.
FBI
The American Federal Bureau of Investigation. Still the country's main law enforcement
agency.
Feminine Intuition
Ability Daley Wong claimed to possess.
Ferrari
Italian manufacturer of high-performance cars. They are still competitive in Grand
Prix racing.
Fernwood, Billy
ADP captain and amateur boxer, and lover of Jeena Malso. Fernwood was terminally injured in 2027, undergoing an
experimental procedure to transplant his brain into a boomer body. The only
other living part of him was his tongue, which he bit to experience pain - a reminder
of his humanity. However, the lack of sensory information drive him insane. He was
eventually killed by Jeena after rampaging through the ADP building.
Firebee
Lightly armoured one-man ADP helicopter gunship, small enough to be transported
to combat zones by truck. Although armed with a 20mm Vulcan cannon, it is still
ineffective against modern combat boomers.
Fire Extinguisher
Useful for confusing the sensors of combat boomers as well as the obvious purpose.
Fire-Ox
Winner of the Genom Trophy Rally. Linna and Nene had a bit of a battle over who was
to get him, which Linna won... only to find he was an old man, which (literally)
shattered her. Come on, Linna... he's now a rich old man! Surely you could
cope with that for a few years?
Flick Knife
A weapon used by Priss in the days before she joined the Knight Sabers. She attempted
to use it on Sylia after being run off the road by her at their first meeting -
fortunately, their relationship improved after then.
Flint
Head of GPCC, Flint was also in charge of a
secret group within Genom selling illegal weapons around the world via the
Genaros space station and his government puppet Kaufman. His plan to sell the
prototype DD battlemover to a communist
nation fell apart when the mecha, and the shuttle it was being smuggled in, was
stolen by a group of 33-S boomers (led by Sylvie) attempting to flee Genaros and
crash-landed near Mega Tokyo.
Flint suffered some kind of seizure when Sylvie broke into his office [as a result
of a powerful pheremone used by the Sexaroid], and was
removed from his post shortly afterwards.
FM 082-30
Frequency for Houston radio station T-Wave.
Foreman
An early witness to the Boomer Revolution, when the contruction boomers he was
overseeing went berserk on the 23rd floor of the Simizu contruction site.
Formula 1 Grand Prix
Motor racing event still hugely popular in Japan.
Fosse, Bob
ADP support officer.
Frankenstein's Monster
Description of the Genom/G&B boomer by one of its technicians. Unlike Mary Shelley's
fictional creature, this one didn't turn on its creators, unfortunately.
Frazetta, Frank
ADP support officer. Possibly a relation of the noted comic artist.
Frederick, F G
Ostensibly an employee of USSD, Frederick is actually a tool of Mason, used to
steal the 'black box' that is the key to controlling the laser satellites. Frederick
is no ordinary boomer - he is fusion capable to an enormous degree.
Frederick was cornered in Aqua City by the Knight Sabers, and used his fusion
powers to turn the derelict floating conurbation into a monstrous version of his
own body. He was destroyed when Priss took a motoroid into his core and blew away
his CPU.
Freedom Arms .22 Magnum Revolver
Little-seen small four-shot pistol carried by Sylia for self-defence.
Frilly Dress
Something Priss absolutely refuses to wear.
Fuel Cell Generators
Emergency power source for the ADP headquarters. If set to overload, the explosion would
be capable of demolishing the entire building.
Funy Day
Burger joint frequented by Priss Asagiri and Leon McNichol. Open all hours.
Furnace Room
Lowest basement of the ADP building. Billy Fernwood's rampage ended here.
Fusion
Ability possessed by some boomers to absorb inorganic matter and electronic/
mechanical objects, making them part of their own bodies. The most likely
explanation for this hard-to-rationalise technique is some form of nanotechnology
breaking down and reconfiguring matter at a near-molecular level.
Fuyomoto
Writer of songs for idol singers.
