Steroid Squirrels
Actually, it’s worse than you think. They’re steroid explosive squirrels. The concept is as simple as it is depraved: how do you get a bioweapon package widely dispersed? Why, you blow up the container in which it is currently housed. But you don’t blow it up too much; simply converting a squirrel’s body fat and blood into a mildly explosive gas would do the trick nicely, for given values of ‘nicely.’ It took researchers two years to come up with the right genetic tweaks, but once they had them, the future was theirs.
