How does the Krieger strain affect other metatypes? Given that the normal
HMHVV creates radically different creatures according to the metatype of the
infected individual, does the Krieger strain affect different metatypes
differently?

IMHO, the Ghoul-ism affects anyone equally, without care for what the frag you
are already ... though it could come into conflict with some of the other
HMHVV strains when they are mixed together.

On this topic, in my game here, the GLF (Ghoul Liberation Front ?) has managed
to commandeer some blood sample of Damien Knight. They are not planning on
using any of the material against him in a magical ritual, that would be far
too dangerous and would only result in their losing of the ritual mages when
Damien's b-guards fight back against the ritual.

So, they are making a genetic cocktail using the blood samples and the saliva
from plenty of ghouls ... they are making a tailored-virus for Mr. Knight,
they are going to make him into a ghoul. One of the player's whose pc is a
ghoul also did this. Why? They are trying to isolate the base Krieger strain
of the HMHVV.

So, what are some of the side effects if they succeed ? First, ghouls are not
recognized as being citizens so he loses his SIN which means that all of his
shares of stock immediately go up for sale (first to the shareholders of Ares
first, starting with Lucien Cross). Which means that Lucien Cross will regain
control of Ares again.

Mr. Cross handed to the same pc Mr. Knight's business schedule for the next
two months with the things he can not change at a moment's notice (other than
not showing up which would be a loss of face).

And guess where the group is ... right in the middle of this mess and boy are
they sweating it out right now for the moment.

I am enjoying myself immensely ...

Now, how did this all start ... they broke one of the first rules of SR as
runners ... Always check the information the person hiring you gives you, as
they always leave something out ...
