RE: Arnie Supplement (SPOILER, maybe)

TML message #2562From bundle 209

I just saw Terminator 2 etc. etc. last night, and after word got into
a little tete-a-tete with some friends about the Termintor T-1000.

I may have this wrong, but I beleive Arnie told us that our
- - - liquid-metal - friend was made from something called
- - - Mimetic Poly-Alloys -.

Given current advances in medicine and computerization, and projecting
a few more years into the future, would it be possible for some
- - - genetic-like - engineering tobe applied to metallurgy/physics/electronics
could you give this liqud metal a genetic capability?

In particular I refer to the T-1000's apparent ability to pull itself
together in extreme situations. (a vague description to purposely avoid
providing too heavy a SPOILER)

This ability is very similar to the idea that each human cell contains
all the information it needs to clone the original it came from.

Considering the Trav milieu, can this kind of Terminator be
represented?
