Yeah, the blue nails was actually a twofer -- foreshadowing for "Sailor Loon" and her blue-themed seifuku, and a direct reference to Sailor Mercury, who shares her original seiyuu with Lisa.
As for reporters, well, it's not really intentional, but yeah, I have my questions that I want answered, and the best way to do that is to have someone ask those questions in-universe. And it always bothers me when supposedly smart canon characters don't ask the questions I think are obvious.
Quote:DeBeers sounds like a corporate culture that would get along really great in a merger with GENOM.Exactly. DeBeers (still) exists in the DW2!BGC world, and still maintains its stranglehold on the diamond supply, as mentioned in the last chapter. As for nanofacs, well, I didn't think this out way back then, but I suspect that DeBeers did something distastefully Microsoft-like and under threat of legal action forced the manufacturers of nanofacs to put in some kind of mechanism (possibly something akin to the microdot codes added to documents by printers) to keep their owners from making salable jewelry-grade diamonds. (And of course Sylia has circumvented those restrictions on her facs.)
