Hello,
Don’t know if you ever saw it, but we wrote a story about cyborg bugs. It won an award from Analog Magazine. I’ve pasted the link in the website field below – or search for “Phantom Sense Niemann-Ross”

Very cool! We hadn’t seen this, thanks for posting. I’m glad I’m up this late.
I’ll repost to make sure group members can see it.
