Reminds me of something I read on an SR site a while ago; the GM had posted
a run he was planning on sending the group on which would end with a pseudo
astral quest, during which the rigger would find himslef driving around
America during the 50's in a Cadalac. At the end the car asks him if he
wants to become a car shaman, following the totem of Cadalac, and that
struck me as such a cool idea.

There have been discussions on the list before about mechanic adepts. FASA
are quite big on the idea that magic and technology are two opposing forces,
but in the minds of some individuals, maybe Puma may take the form of a
really sleek sports car becuase the shaman has no idea what a Puma looks
like.

Dieing is an art like everything else.
