Hoi, Chummers!

About those critters with cyberware, S2 rulebook page 220, and I know it's
also in S1 but don't have that handy right now.....

"Critters may be equipped with cyberware, usually bodyware. Such operations
tend to unhinge the animals, making them vicious and barely controllable.
Cyber-modified animals are as likly to attack thier handlers as intended
targets. When unleashing such and animal, roll 1D6. If the result equals
or exceedes the animals Essence Rating, it will turn on it's handler.

Headware designed to control this tendency makes the animal more stupid and
less perceptive, as well as lowering its Essence futher. Each control
implant lowers Essence by 1 and subtracts 2 from the die roll made when
checking the animal's behavior. Each implate also lowers the animal's Mental
Attribute Rating by 1."

Well there you have Chummer's straight from the rule book. They're nasty
little things. I personal would be careful about what I put in a critter. I
mean would you want a couger with wired reflexs and muscle replacements turning
around and attacking you. Ouch.
