基因技术规则 GENETECH RULES 基因疗法基础 GENE THERAPY BASICS 在《暗影狂奔》中,“基因疗法”这个术语指的是多种用于转变和粘贴细胞和组织中基因信息,达到想要的效果的技术。这通常是通过纳米体、特制逆转录病毒和其他在细胞层面改变病人DNA的媒介完成的。接受基因疗法时,病人要浸入营养罐中一段时间,同时医学洁净室能防止生物因子或CFD影响的纳米体入侵。具体的治疗程序差距很大,但它们的末端作用、治疗次数和价格都很相似。基因疗法的价格包括了医疗支持、住院和为目标定制诊疗方案的花费。
人对自然 MAN VS. NATURE不像赛博改造或生体改造导致的精华损失,基因改造导致的精华损失不只是侵入。这种情况下,它部分来说也是由这些治疗程序的异质本质导致的。法师会说这是由于作为所有活物的一部分的魔法流被打断了。没有基因疗法能够例外——无论是把病人变回之前的自己,已知自然出现的显形性状调整,还是使用来源于自然设计的转基因治疗。泛人类不只是他们血肉骨的总和,无论是科学还是魔法目前都无法解释或者阻止基因改造导致的精华损失。
所有的基因技术都是永久的。它不能之后被移除,所以由于基因疗法导致的精华损失也是永久的,即便是在再生治疗(p. 157)中也是一样。如果之后的殖装或其他东西使基因技术殖装无效,也是如此——并没有可以填补的精华空洞。基因技术是永久的,所以小心选择,而且庆幸至少它没有让你被器官贩子盯上。
剧透 - :
Unlike Essence loss due to cyberware or bioware, Essence loss from geneware is not just a matter of invasiveness. In this case, it’s also due in part to the foreign nature of these procedures. A magician would say that it’s due to a disruption of the natural mana flow that is part of all living things. No genetic therapy can avoid this—not genetic treatments that restore patients back to their former selves, nor phenotype adjustments that have been known to occur in nature, nor transgenic treaments that use genes that originate in natural designs. A metahuman is more than a sum of their flesh, blood, and bone, and neither science nor magic has yet been able to explain or prevent genetech’s Essence costs.
All genetech is permanent. It cannot be removed at a later date, so the Essence loss due to gene therapy is also permanent, even under the revitalization treatment (p. 157). This is also true if a later augmentation or other event renders a genetech augmentation useless—there is no Essence hole remaining to be filled. Genetech is forever, so choose carefully, and be glad that at least it doesn’t make you more interesting to organleggers.
