Very close, but no.  Patchwork Science appeared in the City o' Lost Angels sourcebook and the Last Stop adventure on the PEG website.  For Patchwork Science, think of the novel Frankenstien.  A monster moving under its own power cobbled together from various "donors", to kill the beastie you have to kill each and every part of the creature that is not part of the originonal "donor" to keep it down.
