I think I started something here with the fetish-thing. So far, I've read
about as many messages claiming that fetishes are not present in astral
space, as messages that claim they are. I think they're not, anyway, but
it seems to me that nobody really knows the truth. The way I interpret
the rules is that fetishes only get into astral space when the mage or
shaman uses astral projection, unlike foci which are present on both
planes when they are activated.

Then of course there's the rejection thing. If they can implant cyberware
without it getting expelled by the body, they surely must be able to put
in a fetish (encase it in soemthing that doesn't get thrown out or
something). See Jane Foster in the Harlequin book, she had a spell lock
(OK, that's not a fetish but the idea's the same) in her thigh bone.
