Kieran Mullen,

Re: your tech solution.  Interesting point!  It would seem to require
a group that is to biotech as the black mechanics are to robotics.  The
implanting of god prepared embryos (which is the genesis for Silk, Mucor,
Tick?, and the Lynxes) must be simple compared to striping useable DNA
from non-sex cells.  Doctor Crane probably couldn't do it.  The brain
surgeon from Palustria probably couldn't do it.

But it is possible, and probably more likely than inhumi
succubi/incubi.
