Gee, I was wondering when someone was going to come up with this idea. We;ve
been doing something like this for years now. And we have even come up with a
new piece of cyberware which already does something like this, an SPU: CAD
module.

I don't even want to think about that at all.

In SR2 there was a Increase Cybered Reflexes spell, the only problem that
existed with it is that the target number is still twice the Reaction of the
individual, and when someone has say Wired Reflexes III, that means the target
number is already 12 points higher due to the +6 to initiative that Wired III
grants, and I don't even want to consider the target number in the case of a
person with Wired III also having Reaction Enhancers too.
