It can do that, yeah. However, introducing Horrors into SR would most
likely mean the quick annihilation of most of the population of the world,
with the rest held in slavery by the Horrors -- SR's magic hasn't
developed far enough to combat them (thread magic, spell matrices, etc.)
and the tech is probably not quite advanced enough either to rely on that
alone (and in combination with SR magic you'd do better to just run away).

Aside from that, it would make no sense for Horrors to come through en
masse around 2060 -- it's about 2000 years too soon.

One quesiton: WHY would good old Verji want wired reflexes? Looks to me
like he's powerful enough already...
