My husband's long-service notification email began with these words.
Laughingly I asked if it was anything like 'Hostile 17' - Buffyverse-speak for Spike the Vampire in Series 4 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
He replied, "No, but if they keep poking and prodding at me like they did today, I'll be more hostile than 17 ever was!"
What a brave new world we live in.
Dehumanised, pressured to toe the line, reduced to bar codes (just like with the xenomorphic behaviour-modication, subdermal governor microchip inserted in poor Spike's neck).
Sheesh, I was a science geek before they even had a word for it!
