You misunderstand. I said it was like trying to arrest the lovely angels in that between the Professor and the androids there would be plenty of colateral damage.
[Oh, i realize that. just reiterating the point that the baleys are not the wwwa. really, it had nothing to do with your comment about the prof. and the baleys.
[Hmm, come to that: Novel Dirty Pair, TV/OAV Dirty Pair, Flash, or Adam Warren? who ya got?]
[Oh! Some more ideas:
Sector General: from James White's Sector General series.
A space station that has become the premiere hospital in space, using cutting edge hardtech and trained wavium healers (not sure if i like that term, but i'll use it for now) who compensate for the quirks. Able to make many different kinds of environments to accomodate any biomod. affiliated with the federation and the republic, but open to any and all. all services free, donations appreciated.
Araminta Coalition: From Jack Vance.
Funnily enough, i never actually finished reading araminta station.
anyway, a group of eco-minded fens who believe that terraforming is a form of environmental destruction, entirely anthropocentric and not in keeping with an ecologically-diverse way of being in the universe. just exporting the same old earth mistakes to the far universe.
a real argument, by the way, held by many. look up on ethics of terraforming on wikipedia.
Finders: from Carla Speed McNeil's superlative Finder comic series.
Trackers, scouts and detectives, identified by their distinctive tattoos found somewhere on their bodies. Can be a part of any group. Linked in function, if not in method or hierarchy, with the Fivers' rangers, and there are some overlap in personnell as well.
