I would like to introduce the Deep Ones from Call of Cthulhu into my science
fiction setting as a species artificially created from human genetic material.
They would be the results of the experiments of an aquatic alien race with a
highly developed biotechnology. This race discovered a human "lost colony"
and decided that humans would make an excellent genetic base for an amphi-
bious species of "workers" that could be used on land as well as in an aquatic
environment.
Now I would like to ask you whether this would be too bizarre an idea, per-
haps with some logic bugs I missed, or whether it could be plausible - and
whether there is anything you think I should change in the descriptions of
the original Deep Ones to make them suitable for such a setting ?
And of course, any and all comments, ideas and proposals would be most
welcome.
Thank you !
