Endocrine Regulatory System
Body Cost: 1.90 Price: 140,000 NuYen
Endocrine Regulatory SPU
Essence Cost: 0.40 Price: 50,000 NuYen

Effects: +2 to Quickness, Strength, and Reaction
+1 to Body and Willpower

Notes: Incompatible with Suprathyroid Gland, Level 2 Adrenal Pump, and
the new Thymic Activator.
Requires either an Encephalon or a level one C2 deck as a processor.

The endocrine regulation system was designed to create peak
efficiency with the body's endocrine system. Tests show tremendous improvement
in the areas of physical abilities through an increased effeciency and quantity
of the body's natural steroids, and adrenal system. There is also a marked
improvement in the body's immune system and healing ability, with an unexpected
side effect in a slightly improved bone structure. (This is beleive to be a
side effect from the pituitary gland)

Subjects also display a heightened hunger, thirst, and sex drive from
their increased metabolisms, although a rather large improvement from the side
effects of the suprathyroid gland. In one case, the endocrine regulatory
system appeared to override the subject's trauma damper, but we believe that
this situation has been resolved in the current version. It has passed alpha
testing and is showing no problems in beta tests.

If either the cybernetic pat of the system, or the bionetic part of
the system is damaged to the point of being inoperable, all bonuses are halved
(round down) until repairs are made.

........ of course we know what alpha testing usually means..... "yeah, we put
it in a bunch of people and no one has died yet, so apparently it is working
ok....." I'll see what I can do about the rest of the files I recieved.
Apparently there is some thing about a BioFiltration something in here as
well.... looks like it may be ... well, I'll save that till I am sure.
Got work to do here... cya's ]<<<<<
