In my line of work, inheritable mutations are worth their weight in rare and valuable things.
There are a few different ways of inducing these mutations; exposure to radiation, exposure to chemical mutagens, injections with flourescing protiens, or by inbreeding.
While my boss is busy trying to make the mutations with flourescing proteins, I started with inbreeding.
Now, being myself my first inclination was to name it Project:Bubba. Then I started thinking:
-I'm in the South
-Protestors are not unheard of in this type of work
-The local police would be the ones showing up to deal with the protestors
-The local police are Bubbas (and 'Bubbas' come in all shapes and colors)
-Perhaps I should not insult those who will be protecting my research and myself.
So I needed some other name that denoted catastrophic levels of inbreeding.
And then I thought European royalty! The poster children for inherited diseases!
Thus was Project: Hapsburg born. There are currently four colonies: Portuguses, Spanish, Austrian, and Illegitemate.
I love my job.
