Thanks. :) I'd be happy to discuss the possibilities with you - it always helps me to get new ideas. This whole concept is still way too vague to start the actual writing right now.
To answer your questions:
1) The Earth-children have helped the interbreeding with the Furies via genetic manipulation, because they thought it would help them adapt better to the alien biotop of the planet.
2) With the Kraken, it's rather an either them or us question. Ocean life has just begun to spread onto the southern continent, where the humans used to live (or still live in small numbers), so there would be a bitter fight for territory. Some of the Earth-children are for making contact with ocean-bound life, but the Kraken are not very cooperative, either. They are intelligent, yes, but in a fairly rudimentary manner.
3) Yes, eradicatin the Kraken would be genocide. In my personal opinion, the humans would better abandon the planet, pick up their toys and find a better place. Unfortunately, neither group is willing to do just that. Plus, that would render the planet-dwellers to Kraken food, so...
