Hello all,

I thought of an unusual use for Rhenium polymers. If they were coated
on cybereyes, they would eliminate the need for corneal filters. Some
of the NPC's described in Prime Runners have their cybereyes listed as a
distingiushing feature. Colorchanging cybereyes would help those for
whom disguise to a common occurance. There are a few problems with
coated cybereyes:

1. Can the polymers withstand the bodily fluids in and around the eye
without degradation of the polymer fibers? Most polymers are fairly
stable in my experience, though I do not know the properties of these
particular polmers.

2. Will the low voltage current required to change the color of the
fibers interfere with the functioning of the cybereye? This is one
that I have no idea about.

3. Are the polymers dangerous to the body? Will the chemical change
initiated by the voltage harm the eye cavity or the body as a whole? If
the polymers were inert, it would be no different than an uncoated
cybereye.

This may require a ruling from the GM for individual games, which may
not have much relation to reality (reality, what's that?).

Can anyone give me more info about this very useful piece of equipment?

Galen
