YOU BASTARDS! Give me a real Zohar, or I'll shove these emulated Zohars so far up your butt you'll taste the emulated Zohar, which is almost, but not quite, like a real Zohar.

So let me get this straight -- we have a Realian prototype, but we have to make do with these fucking emulated Zohars? I'd rather have authentic Zohars, like Mom used to make, and a Fakian prototype, thank you very much.
Although from context, I suppose it is clear that the 100-Series Realian prototype MOMO has sex with a large number of women, since s/he is a player.
Seriously, is it that hard to remember that "Zohar emulators" and "100-Series Realian prototypes" do not actually exist in the real world, and that a review of a story that makes use of them should either avoid the terms or explain them if they must be mentioned?

Personally, I'd like to place $10 on Knowledge, and live the conflict between Emulators and Realians to the ignorant.
Isn't that always the way, though? The stuff you like is never good for you.
