Firstly thanks to all who helped with my Bike / Smartlink problem.

My current situation is that just using the SRII book (I have ordered
some source books) I need to come up with some stats for two android /
cyborg bodyguards. They are guardining a Top Exec for Renranku (sp?)
Reasearch and Development on a trip to the airport along with a high
level mage. I dont suppose anyone has some stats for the Android / Borgs
or any suggestiosn for that matter. I thought about taking the bodyguard
archtype and armourfying him boostin his senses etc but I wondered if there
are some established stats I havent seen.

BTW am currently hacking through Hous Of Sun great book! May the author
rest in peace.

Androids have not been developed. A reall, really sweet drone would make a
decent bodygaurd, and even nastier if under direct rig control (except
vulnerable to jammers). But you would need RBB. Or just take a drone, add 3
points armor, 1pt body, and 5 autopiliot and 3 sensors. Most drones can take
that much without too much modification. OH, and, of course, weapons.
Borgs are just very, vey cybered people. With deltaware and a good sugeon,
you can pack in 15 pt worth of cyber and not have to worry about cybermancy.
SO, your supper sams could have almost everything in the book- Very fast,
tough, stong, and alert. What more could you ask in a borg. By the way, a
corp would spend more than 100 million on such a npc. So, drones are probably
the way to go. This info is extrapolated from Cybertech sorcebook.
