oops ... I sometimes get words mixed up :) but speaking of chloroform
bioware ... I.C.E.'s Cyberspace RPG had drug dispensing cyberware (I have
no idea if cyberpunk has this...) what would the stats be in SR? Natural
Drugs (& by drugs I don't just mean illegal narcotics, I mean any type of
pharamaceuticals) could be turned into a special gland for secreting the
stuff ("Ya got the stuff?" ;) While the rest would have to be cyber that
autodispenses into your sys ... would have to have some sort or refill
method ...

Chlorophyll, now that's the stuff :) The thing I saw somewhere on
Chlorophyll implants was, IIRC, to tap into it fer personal uses ... ie
to draw nutrition I think ... (of course that would mean someone with
this implant would breathe CO2 while the sun was up ...)
