Now that that is off my chest.
" Killing for Religion..Something I don't understand."
For those of you that do not remember the cloning discussions that
occurred a few months ago, this may not make too much sense.
How would you go about justifying dinos in SR? I would work something
out like genetic engineering. Who is to say that someone didn't do
just what they did in the movie. I know the cloning arguements will
start flying again. I don't want that, though. And the main point of
the cloning arguements was that brain cells may not be able to
develop. But the dinos' brain cells may not have to fully develop in
the cloning process. And then using a technigue that is being worked
on today, the brain cells could be regenerated. The way they are doing
this today is by taking fetal brain tissue which is still developing
and put that into the clone. ... OK so I am way off the movie,... just
a thought on the cloning concept that wasn't explored.... Another
angle on dinos in SR, what about a few awakened realtives of dinos.
Lately more and more scientist are going with the theory that dinos
have more in common with birds that reptiles (warm blooded and highly
active). What about some form of awakened birds that digressed into
dino forms instead of "awakening". Possible? Probable?
On the Grim II. They did do some changes that are very hard to track.
An example is the way watchers are summoned and how they can be used.
Very subtle. Now every TWO successes gives the watcher a force of ONE.
The services they can perform are basically unchanged, but they are a
bit more explained and seem to cover a larger area of usefullness. The
rest of the Grim II is very, very much like the Grim I. But you have
to remember the Insect Spirits and all. I thought the Grim II was
worth having.
