Alright, I've had this idea for a story bouncing around in my head
for a year or two now:

How would the ShadowRun world feel about a completely genetically
engineered life form being introduced? I'm looking to write a short
story (maybe something longer if I can get off my duff) that
introduces a genetically engineered animal (a lot like the hints that
have been dropped about the grey wolves and sirens in the Tir
sourcebook). The critter would be intelligent, and designed by a
ziabatsu to act in a wide area conflict.

I'd make sure that all of the potentially "dangerous" plot devices
were wiped out (the hardware used to build the critter's genome, the
information, probably a few of the people involved in it's building,
etc), so as not to destabalize the world.

*grin*

I'm basically taking a poll here:

Do you think it would damage SRun as a game if a genetically
engineered creature were introduced (and I'm not talking about from
scratch either, the critter would be a mish-mash of already existing
technologies)?
