According to Rand Ratinac, at 16:39 on 17 Oct 00, the word on the street
was...

18+5D6 to be precise -- I made a little mistake by forgetting to include
the Reaction bonus that night ones get.

Sounds good.

Let's run the numbers:

Item Reaction Initiative Nuyen Essence Bio
Quickness 8 } 7 1D6
Intelligence 6}
Wired Reflexes 3 +6 +3D6 500,000 5
Reaction Enhancer 3 +3 180,000 .9
Muscle Toner 4 +2 100,000 1.6
Enh. Articulation +1 60,000 .6
Suprathyroid Gland +1 50,000 1.4
Cerebral Booster 2 +1 110,000 .8

Totals: 21 +4D6 1,000,000 5.9 4.4

Yes, bioware overstress will definitely apply here :) But by taking the
Exceptional Attribute edge for both Quickness and Intelligence we can add
another +1 to make it 22+4D6.
