Recently--and particularly after the purchase of Cybertechnology--some
friends and I have been in a sort of debate over a few"new" toys.
1)"Direct Neural Interface" sounded pretty neat until I read what it was. It
says it allows cybernetic control of any device not designed for cybernetic
control, that is placed in a limb. Now the big question...What do you put in
a limb that isn't designed to be cybernetically controlled? I thought that
was already taken care of by paying to have it installed. Yes I realize that
there is a little "50 percent increase" note the SR2 team put in, but does
that mean in addition to installation costs? The way it sounds is that before
this, you had to manually fire a cybergun implant.
2) The weapons mounts described in Cybertechnology seem very useful but I
have yet another question. Do these "limbs" have their own actions aside from
the PC? For example, can I shoot with the gun in my hand AND the gun on my
back in the same phase? Its mentally controlled and the tracking system
allows for target selection. Obviously going after more than one target would
add the modifiers, but is there a modifier for using 2 weapons? I would think
not if you were firing at one target. It would just be line 'em up and fire.
Neh?
3) (This is an odd question but it actually came up.)Now as I understand it,
a fetus that will become a metahuman is subject to conditions involving
genetics as well as magic, the genes develope with the aid of magic. Would
this mean then that a pregnant female would be subject to the conditions as
if she were dual-natured, though obviously she couldn't Astrally Percieve or
perform magic, but still subject to attack from the astral? Just curious.
If you're bored, let me know what answers you can come up with. And please, I
don't want opinions that can't somehow be backed up.
