] I have a question chummers. If a Street Samuri already has, say a cyberarm
] and finds a shadow-clinic, he/she wants to upgrade the arm. NOW here is the
] question, can the samuri have the old cyber-arm taken off, have an arm
] cloned back on (thus going back to his/her original Essence) Then, have an
] upgraded cyberarm put on at .6 the Essence Cost. I know it sounds like the
] long way around but it seems the only way.
]
] If there are any Street Docs out there who know a better way.
]
] Please give me a call.

>>>>>[ Greyfire, as GM of our group, and the owner of the Labyrinth, a
prime alpha clinic specializing in troll cyberware, maybe I can
give ya my humble opinion. I'd have to disappoint your mate; once
the limb is off, certain cybernetic wiring is done on a neural
level. IMHO, this would negate the ability to successfully reattach
a flesh limb since the synaptic connections are now modified for
cybernetic command. I think the Shadowtech book explains this
neural modification process better than I can. So I would have
to disappoint your mate...]<<<<<
