That isn't funny. I really was attacked by a knife-wielding rabbit 5
years ago. It wasn't pretty.

I guess with a combination of bio and cyberware, you coud create
some pretty nasty rabbits.

Let's see...dikoted incisors, pain editor ("it's still up, Jim!!!") wired 2,
enhanced articulation, orthofur, etc...

I've tried this kind of things with dogs, and I don't see why rabbits
wouldn't work just as well. Of course, pumping bullets into them still
takes them down. Any ideas on mini--form-fitting armor for
wabbits???

<Stuff about Phelan being attacked by a knife weilding rabbit deleted>

Ok, Phelan. I admit it wasn't pretty. But A) It was your own
fault, and B) it was pretty funny.
BTW: The rabbit wasn't actually weilding a knife...what were you
saying about mastering a blade, Phelan?

I've heard that this was used on cyberpuppies, but how about
ortho-skin?

I tried that Star, but that only gives 1 point of armor protection. They
might survive one spray with an Uzi III, but the heavy stuff nukes
them hard. I guess some sort of armor is necessary---I'll work on it.

Guys, have you ever heard the saying " ... breed like rabbits ..." ?
If one rabbit can withstand a spray from an uzi how about a bajillion
of the little buggers over-running you. Not a pretty sight I must say.

Lead, follow, Do what cha like, but stay out of MY way!

What if someone custom-made little bunny-sized armor jacket and
lined coat? If you play with armour layering rules that gives the furry
creature a 7/4 as far as armour goes, course you have to find a way
to keep the clothes on the bunny...

Well, armor would probably be too confining, but orthoskin(fur?) and
dermal plating would probably work just fine... Hm. I hate animals with
cyberware... Really hate 'em.

Super glue comes to mind. But, oh, then the animal lib's would get up us :-)

How about bone lacing? A titanium bone laced, ortho skinned three wabbit
would be able to cop one hell of a beating before it went down. Especially
if you put in trauma dampers and pain editors, and doped it up on Kamakazee
(uh, scap that last one, that's drug experimentation on defenceless wabbits
:-))

I know that this is fun, but let us face shadowreality. No Corp would
spend this much money on a damn rabbit!! Rhino or hippo maybe...

Hey, what if a Mage was projecting a shield around them, HEHEHEH. Or
a flock of African Swallows were carrying a Decker for cover.. You know.
Under their dorsal guiding feathers. ;)

Heheheheheheh.

Nah, too obvious.

"Hey guys, there's a hippo wandering around the Ares outer
perimeter, pass the rocket launcher"

as opposed to

"Hey guys, look, a liddle fuwwy bunny wabbit, ain't that sweeeeergh!!
Argh! Get it off me! Fetch the holy hand grenade...."

Just another sick thought, of course you'll have to use beta- ware. A
cyber-bunny from hell with all the stuff listed above, along with a
tactical computer.

Because of the extreme popularity of the whole Monty Python/bunny
episode, I plan to incorporate all of it somehow into my next run. :->
I thank everyone for their participation in this particular irrelevant
