Techno-Ninja.

I was running a bit of futuristic dialogue through my head when this term came up.

The dialogue ran something like:

"John Smythe looked at the assassin. He was dressed all in black, with a black mask covering his nose and moth. "A ninja?" wondered Smythe. "but what kind. If he was a Techno-Ninja I'd already be dead. Besides, I have an arrangement with them....."

That is all that is said about the "Techno-Ninjas" in this story, but the concept---I like.

Actually, I've read it. Fun story with a technologically advanced Ninja. But I don't think he was called a "Techno-Ninja".

Cool. [Smile]

And true. I was thinking in terms of the concept/idea, rather than the word.
