BUGS!! i somewhat doubt that i'm affraid considering PC's can knock
the things off in moderate numbers though they are quite nasty are
force 10 or so.
The thing that puts fear into great Dragons is the 'Devourer of great
dragons' it's a horror (see Earthdawn - and hope, like thats going
to help, you don't find and horrors in SR). This thing hunts great
dragons for fun!, and although i have not got to study the stats i am
assured it could do the job.

as to working with bugs, well any silly enough to do that were
gonners in the fourth age and conidering they are supposed to be
rather intelligent the rest probably learnt the lesson. You could
well be right about working to stop Chicago, particularly Lofwry, and
any more that own corps as by the time Chicago went down the
corporate court knew all about the bugs little cult scam, hence the
corp swat teams (don't know if you've read Burning Bright).
could say more but that FASA adventure is not old enough to ensure
everyones seen the contents yet, and it could spoil the nice/horrible
suprises.
