This was an excellent and very well-written piece about a couple of unconventional weapons, and about what happens when a society turns people into weapons. My only real criticism is that, apart from some simple find/replace terminological changes, this story could have been set in the universe that inspired OPR. I appreciate seeing unique or different takes on the familiar in these stories - stories that try to set Tyria or the Sirus Sector apart as their own places. Ultimately that's a personal preference, however, and it doesn't take away from the quality of this piece.
