I have an interesting question that arose from a gaming session.
My players wanted to sell some bodies to like a body shop. I did
not no how to handle this. Any ideas? They also wanted the
cyberware from the bodies. (Gross!)

In my campaign the players also came up with this idea. So I let them to a
certain extent but to be fair I only give them 5% of the value plus I roll
to see if any of the systems are damaged. I also had people react different
to them in the future because it got around that they were selling dead
bodies. This stopped the practice fairly quickly. Also do not forget if you
let them take the bodies they have to carry them around and then transport
them to a body shop. I frowned on the practice because after the first time
I realized how much money where talking about if they smoked a crew of
samurai.

Anyways, just my thoughts.

My character, an Ork Samurai does something along these
lines; using Mana spells thrown by his sister, a human
mage, we try to keep the damage levels below those where
cyber damage comes into effect.


He has spent the karam to have his sister bind 2 fire elementals
toa rack. One burns the flesh, the other flame aura's the
cyberware. Nice and clean.

Ideas:

Take the price of used cyberware (see the SSC)
Take 30% of that amount.
Negotiate as per rules...

Btw, the Sam's name..... The Repo Man :)
