Cybertech says on page 57 that a level 1 synaptic accelerator can be
integrated with a MBW system, in effect allowing a character to get up to
5D6 initiative dice.
Level 2 can't be done _yet_, though this was in '56... It would make sense
that if level 1 can be combined with MBW, so can level 2, after they've
refined the techniques a bit (i.e. learned how to do it).

So this gives the Sammies the speed of lightning, whilw the mages sit
back and sleep... No... they are not shifting to Astra they wait for
hours until they can do their work!
