>I have a small suggestion for ya. Put a clause in there saying "This can
not reduce the essence cost below 1" or something like that. If not, you
can imagine what Sqwaaark would look like after a couple of Visits to da
Clinic. Oh yeah, and since you're paying the cost to visit the location,
does this trigger Sqwaaark's pay nutt'n for cyberware ability?

Actually, since you pay to visit the clinic, even Skwaa...rk! will find
cyberware expensive, and so I don't see a problem with having some
cyberware cost 0 Essence.
So what if Skwaa...rk! can then have 2 Hand Razors, 2 Cyberarms, Muscle
Replacement AND Dermal Armor? You will have paid a ton of nuyen and used up
at least 6 turns equipping him! Add in the fact that Poor Craftsmanship,
Infected Chrome, and cyberpsychosis exist, AND Skwaa...rk! Will have taken
at least 6 AP damage before he's done, and it's not something to get overly
excited about. I think the major application here is with respect to the
Heal gear/magic card.
But then again, that's only my opinion.
