Graft Alien Bio-Matter With Humans

(• • • • Life)                                                                              Technocracy:  Progenitors  41

The FACADE Engineer can now exchange human or animal parts in a manner similar to that exercised at Rank Three.  More obvious alterations include:  adding a human torso to the lower sections of an animal; replacing a human's hands with paws or talons; or giving a human a monkey's tail.  Exchanges between human bodies are also possible:  for example, adding extra sets of arms to a human or transferring a brain from one body to another.

An example of an elegant transfer within the constraints of a short period of time is the removal of the brain of a human enforcer agent (reducing its size slightly in the process) and the subsequent transferal of the brain into the body of a Hermetic mage's pet Great Dane.  The resulting spy dog would have all the knowledge and logic of the agent, with the form of the dog.  He might not be able to talk, but he could probably thump his tail in Morse Code.

It bears noting that Paradox takes a heavy toll on such creations.  The aforementioned Great Dane might live a week per success before the alien organ was rejected.  Such alien graftings survive best in  Horizon Realms, where reality can be tailored to the Progenitors' pet theories.  Even Technomancers are bound by the static reality they have created.
