Being a man of the Industrial age, I find biollurgy quite... lackluster.
- CEO, Gramarie Manufacturing, shortly before he was persuaded to purchase some specimens for his, ahem, personal use


A culture, specifically an Industrial Revolution-like era, enabled by Gramarie will probably look to biollurgy as a curiousity and definitely not worth granting equal rights. Especially since you can make them circuited and connected to the far more easily controllable Exotic Intelligence.

Bodyguards and brute force, perhaps, although essentially limitless summons through the use of the Silver transformer is likely to be more cost efficient.

The main point is that you can sculpt the thing quite easily, it can be of certain small sizes, you decide the appearance and you can give it mammalian reproduction...
That allows rather more... well, let's just say that describing those uses will probably violate forum policy quite badly.

And I can totally see a Gramarie-tech society using it that way. "Come on, we *make* the things, they're not people..."
