On the subject of chemically altered cars, my character wants to get a ruthenium
\coated car. Not for th
coated car. Not for the invisibility. For the wild paint jobs he could have.

I like this guy! Hey, it'd even be cheaper, cause you wouldn't have to shell
out the 5K nuyen for the imaging scanner... just hook up a random number, or
fractal generator!

One question: The shadowtalk, from the Hatchetman, says that the gel packs only
last half an hour. The tech description, however, doesn't mention gel packs,
and if it's run off electricity, what's to stop you either:
a) Having more gel packs/batteries on-line
OR
b) Running it off your car's engine (with all the appropriate circuitry
to make the power right)??

Any answers??

Just one, never take ShadowTalk as gospel for anything.
