Editing Bloat (section)

==Background==
The Bloat is one of the more disturbing specimens created by Horzine, mainly because not all Bloats were clones.  Horzine experimented with drugs to maintain a soldiers physical body, designed to combat against fatigue, muscle loss, even old age.  Advertising them as weight loss supplements, Horzine recruited hundreds of obese men, and experimented on them.  

The drugs were a complete failure.  The test subjects grew even more obese, and their immune systems were genetically enhanced into an overdrive, making all of the subjects body fluids a toxic acid.  But because the overall body chemistry and structure of the Bloats remained the same (i.e. human) their bodies violently rejected the toxin, making them vomit whenever the acid reached a critical level.  Furthermore, significant damage to their bodies resulted in a violent rupturing of the cells in the Bloat, causing it to explode in a spray of acid.

Clamley, watching the experiments with interest, ordered the projects continue. This makes the Bloat one of the few specimens not specifically designed as a super soldier, and the only specimen not made by cloning.
