Port-A-Gene

[Cyfarfod]

Either a big bulky device that, as mentioned, gives the person you put into it just about every nasty thing imaginable (or that you load activators into -ACTIVATORS- which it then magically applies to anyone you put in it, whether they could normally have that stuff activated or not)...

Or what about a chameleon-bomb disguising device you load ONE INJECTOR into that then gives that mutation to anyone that comes within X tiles of it... unless they're wearing the special genetics jumpsuit you get along with it?  Would that be interesting?

Gene Grenades box. 
like the tactical nades, comes with an assortment of grenades that apply a shitty mutation to people caught in it.

Hey, nice. Maybe they come preloaded with a shitty cocktail, like... I dunno... deafness, Gyrus Alteration-BT, Motor-Neuron and Narcolepsy, for example, and you can click an INJECTOR on one to also add that.

This idea seems to my (ignorant) eye to fall into a pretty sweet spot of fun, useful, and relatively easy to implement?

EDIT: Honestly, Mutagenic Field grenades would probably get the job done, too, after an extra 2 seconds of thinking. Although the more mutations WHATEVER item adds, the harder it is to undo it with mutadone.

EDIT2: I didn't comprehend Frank_Stein's post as much as I thought I had, he raises an interesting idea... do we want an item that makes it easier to mess other people's genes up, or an item that makes it easier to turn yourself into an ultra-robust superhuman, or both?
