> Darkness Devices are very, very tough, as I recall.  However, they do not have an infinite toughness, merely a very high number.  This means that it is possible for a very destructive force to break apart or weaken or refine such a d-device.  Possibly a d-device can be the cause of the destruction or near-destruction of another.  So one might introduce a "darkness shard" into one's game; I'd image the thing to be potent, tough, possessing of an agenda, entirely crazy (I'm reminded of the renegade and injured D-device in "High Lord of Earth").  But it might indeed grant possibilities to those stormers who were of like-minded, nefarious goals.  All _without_ the possibility of being influenced or taken over by a healthy D-device.  

I used this very idea as a prelude to "High Lord of Earth" way back when we played it. A small shard of the DD had come off and was being worshiped by a bunch of crazies in the jungle.
