According to Rand Ratinac, at 16:46 on 18 Oct 00, the word on the street
was...

Or you could wait until he dies from pneumonia from sleeping out in the
rain with no clothes on :)

I was very surprised I could spend _exactly_ a million nuyen on this,
though. A cheaper way to get almost the same thing would be to make use of
the boosted refs/synaptic accelerator loophole, and buy level 3 and level
2, respectively, to get a +2 Reaction and +4D6 initiative bonus, then get
6 levels of reaction enhancer. That puts the total initiative at *counts
on fingers* 21+5D6 (I think) which is better than 22+4D6 and leaves you
with 30,000 nuyen and 1.4 Essence -- and I think that also eliminates the
biosystem overstress!

However, that only works if the GM allows boosted reflexes and synaptic
accelerators to stack their bonuses, which I myself would not -- only the
highest number of dice applies in my game, regardless of the source,
unless it's specifically indicated that they stack (as with MBW/SA in
Cybertechnology).
