This is absolutely fantastic -- I love worlds of modifications and genetic play, and you work with it here absolutely superbly!
(And how awful is it that in this world, I really and truly WANT Richard to have his way? Consider this an enormous success.)
Catesby's POV is beautifully done -- her feeling upset just for a moment, the way she reassures herself and Ratcliff that it'll work out (and maybe Richard will have a book or film to help with her understanding it all better) -- it's just so painful and touching and lovely even amidst all the horror she's helping continue.
