Only problem with this idea, is that someone with wired-x will show up as
having excellent transmission time. Also, even having any miscellaneous bits
of metal in your body (other cyberware) might help the transmission time.
The MRI idea might show up the cyberware nicely with this method though
if I have the right idea about how it works, but I'm not sure it would
actually show 'essence levels' any better than a list of installed gadgets.
Please tell me if I am wrong.
