        Nene Romanova could feel the sweat running down her
back as she worked at
removing the boomer from the ADP computers.

Boomer?

It looks like everyone has forgotten that the incursion into ADP Headquarters
was in 2033, Decemberish...

The boomer was a fusion boomer designed to defeat the pink knightsaber, while
the other had to fight their own.

    Boomer.  It's a mispronunciation of B.U.M.A., I believe...
although for the life of me I can't recall what the acronym
stands for right now.  (Biological Utility Maintenance Android?)
In fact, I can't recall if the acronym is ever actually explained
in the series, to be honest.  Shameful, isn't it?

Also, BUMA: Big Ugly Metal Android :)

Boomer, Buma, Voomer (English translation in England)...

It isn't an acronym from what I can remember, it's like automobile vrs auto.
It's slang. Pop over to newsgroup alt.fan.bgcrisis and ask, just ignore the
troll.

It's one of those nifty Japanese words that don't really mean anything.
Others:

The ADP from BGC:  ADvanced Police or (another one that I forgot)

Already Dead Police...
The Official One is ADvanced Police: The Mad Criminal Investigations Unit.
