o An Interview With Unagi: 

   Q: What is Priss Nukem Special Edition?
   A: Priss Nukem SE is a conversion patch for Duke Nukem 3D.  It
      replaces Duke Nukem with Priss Asagiri from that classic Japanese
      anime, Bubblegum Crisis.  The patch is broken up into two parts.
      Owners of PC Duke Nukem 3D v1.3d Registered & Shareware need only 
      download the first part.  Owners of PC & Mac Duke Nukem 3D Atomic 
      versions require the first and second part.

   Q: Why did you make a Special Edition?
   A: When I completed the original Star Wa... ahem, Priss Nukem, there
      were a lot of loose ends that left me unsatisfied.  Most of these
      were due to technical constraints.

   Q: Technical constraints?
   A: Yes.  You see, when the original Priss Nukem was made, there were
      a lot of things that I simply could not do.  Priss Nukem was quite
      a feat because I had to invent a whole lot of new technologies on
      the fly.  As a result, Priss Nukem showed promise but failed to
      live up to my greatest expectations.  However, after completing
      Return of the Nene, special effects had progressed to the point
      where it was possible to tell the story of Priss Nukem the way I
      intended.

   Q: So what additions did you make to Priss Nukem?
   A: I don't want to give away all the surprises, but one thing I did
      was to digitally remaster the ending theme using raw audio feed
      from the Futureland Vocal Collection 1.  In addition, I also 
      added expanded footage that shows more of Mega Tokyo in 2033.
      Those who are familiar with the OVA series will have a lot of fun
      running around familiar streets of Mega Tokyo.

   Q: So what's next?
   A: Oh I don't know.  Return of the Nene is practically complete.  All
      I need to do now is edit it together into one sweet package and
      release it.  However, I may hold on to it to see if I can get any
      more renders from Kevin Chu.  However, he's pretty busy right now
      with other projects.  I'm also kicking around the idea of Linna
      Strikes Back, but it will take a lot of motivation for me to do
      that.  Only time will tell...

o Ammunition Description: 
 
     APDS (Armor Piercing Discard Sabot) rounds for palm cannon:  Rounds 
consist of a carrier unit (sabot) and a smaller depleted uranium 
penetrator.  The sabot allows a smaller caliber round to be fired from a 
weapon whose barrel diameter is much greater than that of the 
penetrator.  Once fired, the sabot slips off (discards) leaving the 
penetrator to travel with reduced air resistance.  
 
     UHDU (Ultra Heavy Depleted Uranium) rounds for gravitic sling:  
With a density 68% greater than lead, UHDU is capable of perforating any 
armor with ease.  The round consists of depleted uranium pellets encased 
in a hollow polymer casing.  Essentially a "hyper-kinetic shotgun" the 
weapon is most lethal at close range but loses effectiveness with 
distance due to pellet dispersion. 
 
     Flechette ammo for railgun:  Rounds consist of a 35 cm long needle, 
or dart.  The rounds are cannibalized from 105 mm "Beehive" warheads 
used in the Polar War.  Originally designed as an anti-personnel round, 
the Beehive airbursts over a designated target, showering the area with 
a rain of flechettes.  The flechettes have been removed individually and 
modified so that they can be sequentially fired from three gun ports 
located at the underside of Priss's hardsuit arm. 
 
     HEJA (High Explosive Jet Assisted) rounds for 30mm gauss cannon: 
Rounds consist of a micro-explosive warhead propelled by a fast-burning 
solid rocket propellant engine.  The gyrojet engine ignites after the 
round leaves the cannon, accelerating the warhead towards the target.  
HEJA rounds are designed for long range combat and will cause 
substantial damage to the user if detonated at close range. 
 
     Killer Doll:  Manufactured by USSD as an accessory for the Cynthia 
Unit, the killer doll is disguised as a child's toy and can be detonated 
by remote control.  Using submicron lamellar structuring, the explosives 
within the killer doll are effectively camouflaged and can not be 
detected using existing explosive detection devices. 
 
     Shrinker/Expander ammo for Sting Ray gun:  Rounds consist of 
unstable quantum matter stored in a stasis crystal.  Upon striking an 
organic mass, the quantum matter imparts its inertial reference frame to 
the target.  Depending on whether the quantum matter is monophasic or 
polyphasic, the target will either shrink (stable for a few seconds) or 
expand (unstable, i.e., the object explodes). 
 
     HEAP (High Explosive Armor Piercing) rounds for Eliminator:  Rounds 
are similar to the APDS rounds in that they are made up of a carrier 
unit and a depleted uranium penetrator.  However, HEAP rounds contain a 
directional explosive charge between the carrier and the penetrator that 
detonates upon impact, driving the penetrator deeper into the target.  
Although the majority of the explosive force is concentrated at the 
target's surface, the reactionary shockwave can damage the user if fired 
at close range. 
 
     S-Mine:  Using a pressure activated quick setting adhesive, the S-
Mine will permanently "stick" to any solid surface.  The mine activates 
after a few seconds and will detonate if any object crosses it's laser 
sensor. 
 
     Nitrogen cartridge for the Raven Special:  Rounds consist of 
globules of liquid nitrogen held within an electro-magnetic containment 
field.  Upon striking a target, the containment field bursts, releasing 
a freezing blast of refrigerant.

o Story and Further Information 

In the year of 2033, life is very different. Mega Tokyo rose from the 
rubble of the 2nd Great Kanto Quake into a new era of technology and 
prosperity.  Much of this was spearheaded by the mega-corporation, 
Genom, who introduced a new tool to rebuild Tokyo, called "Boomers." 
Boomers were cybernetic humanoid beings which were created to free 
mankind from menial and hazardous tasks.  The world welcomed these 
Boomers with open arms; cities were rebuilt and Genom prospered.  But as 
wonderful these mechanical dolls were, they also had a dark side.  
Whether accidental or intentionally, Boomers sometimes went "mad", 
killing and destroying everything in their path. Special ADvanced Police 
(ADP) forces were created to subdue these rampages but often found 
themselves hopelessly outgunned.  But then the Knight Sabers appeared.  
They were a group of four female vigilantes who easily conquered the "Mad 
Machines" using sophisticated battlesuits and weapons.  The Knight 
Sabers acted as a counter to Genom and held it in check.  But Genom had 
many secrets up its sleeves including the OverMind Control System (OMS) 
which was the key to controlling the world. At the end of 2033, the OMS 
system was activated, mutating the world's population of Boomers into an 
army of hideous monsters.  Join Priss as she endeavors to stop Genom's 
master plan to rule the world!
