But I guess it was too logical to not have been though of before. OK..this one has to be original... >From an email to our good Dr. Brin: GURPS 2 says that the Brothers of the Night see only in black and white. A fact not presented in Contacting Aliens. That's not normal for a predator. Either S.J. took a liberty to make the game more interesting, or...... What have you got planned for a story set on Calafia? I see the Brothers as being too stuck up on their superior fighting skills to have the need for subordinates who do see in color. They may check the human's pads of paper for secret marks as they let them go from town to town. ....but they totally fail to notice that that leather cover to the pad of paper is actually a combination of pale pink and green dots superimposed upon each individual grain. I'm now trying to figure out if you're planing on having a scene where Tom runs naked down a dark street covered only in pink and green camoflague greasepaint. Of course if he first had to hide his human smell by also having to impregnate his skin with ozone, then you could say that he has: Decor of the greasepaint, the smell of the cloud.
