I agree. (Btw the direct quote is "I actually had my wire taken out and
put back in with a reflex trigger." -- Steel Lynx pg 38) I was
considering charging as per Gene Therapy: 100kN then modify according to
the grade to be removed (ie 300k for alpha, 700k for Beta, and 1M for
delta [Gamma, Epsilon and S.Epsilon I'll remove for free <grin>]) then
the Sam will have to spend 4 months hospilized (in the appriate grade
clinic) before implantation of the new sys can begin ... ought to make
runners reeeaaal wary about upgrading.
PS if you're feeling nasty, make that the cost per point of essence :P
(ie removing wired 2 [normal grade] would cost 300kN and hospitalize the
char for 12 months).
