One of my players is running a character that has low-light
modifications in her eyes. If she wanted to buy Cyber replacements
would she have to buy the modification again? Or would the cyberdocs
just remove it from the natural eyes and place it in the cyber eyes?
Also, would another .2 of essence be spent on the new cyber eyes?
Just asking for the opinions of my peers...

Yes, supposedly there is a great difference between artificial
eyes and natural ones.

*snicker* I would say yeah too....But I would wonder about the essence cost.

A modification of any kind to the flesh eye will be lost _with_ the eye
when it is replaced with the cyber-replacements. And no, the modification
wouldn't be transferable to the cyber eye. Flesh and cyber are two
completely different mediums in which to place a mod, so the mods themselves
would be different.

Besides, your the GM. You should be trying to keep the runners broke,
desperate and running all the time. Why give them a break?
