RE: [HOE] ghost

["Jeff Yates" <jyates@primaryfunction.com>]

I can't look it up right now, so does any one else know if the Cyborg
Infiltrator package includes body heat generation?  If deaders are already
warm, that would be redundant.  If they are just cold meat, it'd be pretty
important.

That, and cold meat can show up on thermo, as long as the background is
warm/hot.  At least until the deadmeat warmed up to room temp.  And vice
versa, a harrowed that's been baking in the sun will retain heat for a while
after entering a cooler room.
