Actually, as far as I know physiologically, there are _seven_
senses: sight, hearing, taste, touch, smell, vestibular, and
kinesthetic. Vestibular sense is the sense of balance in the vestibular
apparatus of the inner ears, and kinesthetic sense has to do with
internal sense of body organs (in essence a condition monitor).
There's also the newly discovered vosopheremonal (spelling?) organ
in the tip of the nose that detects pheremones, although this is still
being discussed. Some physiologists might also group smell and taste
together.

One thing I thought of about this tread is what about the tatical
computer...it says you get +1 level to the TC for every additional ummmm
"improvement" (can't think of the word). Meaning, Low-Light, Thermal,
Hearing Amp, High-Frequency, Low-Frequency. If you had those 5 cyber mods,
you'd get +5 to the tatical computer rating. So, with that logic, these
systems ARE suppose to be running all the time...why would they give
bonuses when they are off?
