This is for all you folks that are thinking about Jurassic Park
(thanks for the 30 messages in less than a day as well).

Anyway, I saw the movie Monday and read the book Tues and Wed (both
were extremely good in my opinion - especially Malcolm's chaos theory).
In the book, they kept referring to the "compys", those small foot-tall
lizards that first attacked the girl. (I don't think they were in the
movie, though.) My question is: what was everyone's reaction to these
things? Second, picture, if you will, one of these things, with just a
fair amount of cyberware to make 'em berzerk (as in Critter Rules, SR 1,
p. 178). I know they aren't the ruthless killers that velociraptors are,
but I kinda like the "looks nice but'll kill you in an instant" image of
these things.
