In a message dated 98-05-20 20:14:44 EDT, you write:

<< IF you could clone someone for the body of an Ally spirit (Which I would
allow...), then IMO, the cyber & bio would be useless ... The Alley is
basically a flesh golem with some metal / plastic parts :) If that body
had limb replacements, the ally could animate it as normal but it is
animating it not "using" it ... >>

Actually, since the host is technically alive, only unconscious (just like
Gerald Ford), all of the bioware would work. They still need to breathe and
eat... they just don't age and are unusually powerful (gotta love adding force
to all of the host's physical atttributes, neh?).

Incidentally, if such an ally were to ever go free, he could make a shitload
of money as a runner... dual natured, sorceror (can inhabiting allies
astrally project?) who is as strong as a troll? You can bet he'd get paid
quite a bit.
