[really, really Infinities] strange things are afoot

... I don't even know if Biomods would exist in this setting, ...

Not the way they exist in mainline!Fenspace, no.

I'm thinking this setting might have "biosculpts" rather than "biomods" - organ reconstruction, rejuvenation, substantial cosmetic changes, minor physical boosts, but no metahuman abilities. And it would be a medical procedure - maybe even a hospital procedure - rather than something that happens because somebody ate some green stuff from the wrong bowl.

Something like the Catgirling Machine might be possible if Mal says yes (a dedicated expert system coupled to an autodoc that somebody invented somewhere along the way could do it), but it wouldn't induce the homeostasis effect and the other quirks that the mainline!Fenspace version is known for. Cat-people could end up with a bonus to hearing and might get a slight dexterity/agility increase to go along with their fur and whiskers... but they'd still be biologically human.
