Um, I didn't include 'Vampiric' in the last example. Didn't want to
scare you that much.

And I would rule as a GM, that an Otaku would lose their Otaku-ness
(their Channels and Living Persona) if they were infested with a bug.

But a Flesh-form Decker... would could re-route things to the design of
the Bugs... now *that*'d be scary. Just think - that Matrix Cover your
Johnson set up for you isn't *exactly* the help you wanted....
