Actually, I get the impression that the Datajack *can* be wired to literally
any part of the brain or cranial-based locations the medic wants to, as long
as the proper peripherals are in place as well to translate or
interface...(why do I want to use the word Interconnection here???)
I would tend to agree though the Datajack does tend to go directly to the
brain itself. Forward centers IMO (total braindeath on my own end, technical
terminology is escaping me) are primary connections (especially with regards
to direct Simsense/ASIST related things), with motor centers being so for the
Vehicle Control Rig, Skillwires and even the Move-by-Wire system.
