Heyo,

I found some stuff posted, and I just want to respond to some of it. I'll try
to make it short.

The reason natural eyes are better than cybereyes is that natural lowlight-
thermo- etc. eyes see both with normal light and the modified light AT THE
SAME TIME. Cybereyes only show one spectrum at a time.

As is explained in Shadowtech, (I know you don't have it) is that genes rely
on the shape of the genes as well as the coding. The scientists haven't been
able to find the shape as well as the coding yet, so theres no gengineering
of "magic babies" yet. Sorry.

Dunkelzahn is broken down into Dunkel and Zahn, the former means "dark", and the
latter means "Tooth," so his name means Darktooth. Dark Chicken would be
Dunkelhahn, with an "H."

Don't mean to flame, just enlighten a little ( aren't they the same thing?
(bad pun)).
