I guess I can agree with you there, the rules are a bit out of touch in these

only way for COMPLETE to occur is if the aura's are synchronized fully.
Remember, though the flesh may remember, the Spirit knows the lies for what
they are.

Delta (Gamma) Class Cyberware is mentioned in the Cybertechnology
book...Sorry about the Theta Grade mentioning, that is something for the
House Rules' here after the space games...

Sadly, no computer as yet can see the aura...if you get into Kirlian
Photography (OLD Topic), then who knows...
