Question raised- In effect, does lost essence create an "empty slot" into
which you can place cyber with no additional essence loss. My answer; yes,
because if you remove implanted cyber, you do not regain essence but have the
empty slot. You have lost essence. Why should essence loss from a vampire or
drugs be any different? But, I'd say you have to have recovered fully from
whatever caused the essence loss. That includes surgical damage from yanking
old cyber. Makes for fun when the sammie upgrades E] (evil grin).

You can use lost essence as some sort of "slot" yes. OTOH you can try to
regain the lost essence, by removeing the cyber and recloning the flesh
that got removed in the first place.
