Come to think... I really think it could go either way, myself. I feel
reasonably certain that a shaper infected with HMHVV just dies, one
infested with a bug has some slightly odd implications... Regeneration
seems to be at least partly capable of repairing astral damage, so that
is where I feel you'll find interference - with the astral portion. Or I
could be totally wacked:)
