No matter what the time lag was, there's bound to be somebody who thinks there's a conspiracy. Never mind that That Con was the first time anybody was ever known to have been biomodded.

"The Government experimented on innocent civilians in order to crack down on handwavium!"
"The Government knew ahead of time what would happen if innocent civilians consumed handwavium, and they did it anyway to try to get super-soldiers!"
"The Fen experimented on innocent civilians in order to get The Government to crack down on handwavium, making Fenspace more attractive to the libertarians!"
(Meanwhile, the paranoid Fen are certain that it's the Professor's fault.)

them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
