Personally, I would say keep the Metagene concept but perhaps consider the
"tiger sapiens" to be a "shapeshifter wannabe". Perhaps the genetic
material
being used here was taken from a shapeshifter, and said critter is wanting
these "perverse experiments" stopped. The character "Farseer"
introduced in
the NAN Sourcebooks (book #2 IIRC) would be someone whom might get involved
in this sort of thing. I know it means for you to at least go to other
materials than the DNA/DOA module, but it is *one* alternative/modification
to consider.
