I just got the description of a sleepwalker. I think that they are pretty
cool. I don't have the printout in front of me that has all the info on
the sleepwalkers, but it said when a sleepwalker is loaded beyond the
persons essence with cyberware, they are essentially walking zombies. My
question is, can a rigger control the sleepwalker through the rig like he
does a drone?

Any help would be apreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Ya know, I thought that egomaniacal munchkin king would never
haunt me again- I guessed wrong.

If you are referring to the Sleepwalkers devised by Keith
"Shivowtnoeh" Henry, I would SERIOUSLY reccommend you destroy
the material and have your house sprayed for bugs...

As far as those pathetic things go, you will most likely (god I
hope) find little help with them since kieth has been removed from
the internet for sometime (AMEN). As for what I remember, the
Sleepwalker cyberware allowed a decker to remain IN MATRIX while
they treated their bodies like a drone- ie allowing them to move
about as if they were not jacked in.

Da Minotaur

P.S. Yes, this may seem somewhat abrasive, but I just can no longer handle
the shit that Keith passes for shadowrun. For instance, the Sleepwalkers
were designed by a Grade 6 Enchanter Adept VAMPIRE who was also a god
like decker. He suffered no penalities because the cord which went
from the deck to his Beta grade datajack was composed of Orichalcum
and was in fact an enchanted foci that allowed him to negate the
penalty mages suffer in matrix. But then again I was no better in his
campaign- I played a Grade 21 Weretiger Physical Adept/Tiger Shamanic
Adept who wielded the Black Blade, some opposite to Excalibur... gag.
