This came upon me a few minutes ago. Just an inane cyberware component
which I thought of while watching a movie about a guy trapped in a room.
Let me know what you think.

The Eliminator
This handy piece of bodyware allows those on long stakeouts to sip large
amounts of soycaf and eat large quantities of mass-produced synthetic food
stimulants containing sugar without having the annoying problem of having
to visit the restroom. It takes waste from the lower intestine and
bladder, compacts it into pellets, and then evacuates the waste through an
implant in the lower back, at the base of the tailbone. The pellets are
coated with a thin covering of biodegradeable plastic to avoid actually
touching the waste and can be stored in a small plastic bag until an
opportunity for disposal presents itself.

All you need now is a gun to shoot 'em and you can produce
your own ammo! Depending on what you eat, these could be more
lethal than APDS...

And a new addition to Shadowrun Clue is born:
Rat, in the side alley, with the Eliminator pellets and a called shot to
the mouth. :P~

So can I take it most people like this idea? If so, here's the stats. I just
realized I hadn't included them. Let me know if these are too harsh.
Eliminator cost: 20,000¥ essence:.8 Availability:3/6

Is that a cyber rear accessory? If so, how many ECU does it take up, and is
there an essence savings? ;P
