Improved (слэш)

When humanity discovered the limitations of inorganic technologies, the human genome was improved, giving the specimen access to the full range of abilities of the human mind, including telekinesis and telepathy. To ensure that these Genetically Improved Humans (or just “Improveds”) weren’t able to go rogue, they were each made with a biological compulsion for the touch and approval of a human link.
The forging occurs when the Improveds are sixteen, and usually with a link that has been raised alongside the Improved in the academy on New Earth where all improveds are made.
Occasionally a forging goes wrong. That seemed to be the case for TMR, a sixteen-year-old Improved of terrifying talent whose link hung herself two days after they were forged.
