oops ... I sometimes get words mixed up :) but speaking of chloroform
bioware ... I.C.E.'s Cyberspace RPG had drug dispensing cyberware (I have
no idea if cyberpunk has this...) what would the stats be in SR? Natural
Drugs (& by drugs I don't just mean illegal narcotics, I mean any type of
pharamaceuticals) could be turned into a special gland for secreting the
stuff ("Ya got the stuff?" ;) While the rest would have to be cyber that
autodispenses into your sys ... would have to have some sort or refill
method ...

Chlorophyll, now that's the stuff :) The thing I saw somewhere on
Chlorophyll implants was, IIRC, to tap into it fer personal uses ... ie
to draw nutrition I think ... (of course that would mean someone with
this implant would breathe CO2 while the sun was up ...)

The glucose? I don't see any real reasons against it, if you can make
cyber- or bioware that contains chlorophyll and does a plant impersonation
with it.

And have an increased need for oxygen when the sun is down :)

I know some time ago I had something similar as a dermal modification, but it
only acted as a partial boost to the "nutrient intake" of a body.

I don't think it was in a NERPS book either, although when Hayden was
Project Leader anything seems to have been possible ;) I also just checked
the only extensive bioware article in a Plastic Warriors book
(Morninman's) and that also doesn't have chlorophyll skin that I could
find.

It's in a file in the Archive, written by someone named Insomnia,
IIRC.
