I think I'd use a modified version of the Cyber Logician in the back of the
Cybertechnology book to fill that role. Encephalon, tactical computer,
cranial cyberdeck, commlink, crypto-circuit, Battle-Tac -- oh yeah, the

does the storyline and the funny voices.

Geez, I can't even find anyone to GM, much less co-GM. You're lucky,
lucky, lucky.
