That's a good point...another in the "optional but damn useful"
category -- for _any_ non-magical character, especially Sammie-types, is
the cyber phone implanted into ones' head.
Zigman, my current character (the beginning decker), has one of
those, and its helped out quite a bit in the past. In one situation,
another character went into an office under pretense of delivering a pizza
(we paid off the real driver), and had her wristphone turned on so I
could, in my head, hear everything that happened.
Also, the alarm from my van is set to give me a call instead of a
truly audible alarm (don't want that siren going off in the middle of a
run, just because some punk kid wants my radio!) All its done for me so
far is tell me things I already knew (that the Ubermanner were trying to
wreck it while we shot up some of their guys inside a fish market), but it
could be really useful later.
