Nice scene. It's good to read a Gibson fanfic, and I liked how you beefed Maelcum up. You've got a lot of good sentences in here, but I latched on to this one. "He stepped towards the stricken metacop and crouched over it." That whole paragraph was well positioned. On a constructive editorial note, you might have set this a bit different:I fell to the ground whimpering. "DISCONTINUE THIS ILLEGAL TRANSACTION..." At first glance it appears he's whimpering those words. But anyway, I really enjoyed reading this.

Great story with detailed descriptions, suspense and action!

Note From Author - It isn't technically in Gibson's world... it's just a blatant rip-off. :)

Glad to see more stories in this section.

I enjoyed the story despite, or perhaps because, of the ending.

I also like your idea for uses of meat-puppets beyond sex.

As for nitpicks - Plasma rifles would fire a bolt of plasma not singing bullets. Anyways they don't seem to exist in Gibson's universe. (Stiener-Optic) Laser rifles would be the closest thing.

Stun fields, lift packs, and metacops - All of them seem possible with Gibson's tech so I'm not going to complain :)
