BioFiltration System
Body Cost: 0.50 Price 50,000 NuYen

This is the first known systematic augmentation of more than one
organ as a functioning symbiotic pair. It acts effectively like a level 1
toxin extractor and a nephritic screen working in concert. As in the newer
incarnations of the nephritic screen, necessary food intake is reduced by
20% due to hyper-effective reclaimation.
Unfortunately, further increases in the level of the toxin
extractor destroys the synergy between the two, negating the saving in the
body cost. On a positive note, it is believed that by the end of the next
financial quarter, we should be able to produce further improvements in the
liver while maintaining the kidney enhancements.

Level 2 BioFiltration System (projected)
Body Cost: 0.70 Price 80,000 NuYen

Currently, all attempts at creating an integrated system with either
the kidneys or the liver have failed due to the delecate nature of the spleen
does not allow for the additional stress that must be placed upon it in the
formation if it is to be part of an integrated system.

******************************************************************************

It is worth noting that in the campaign I play in, each level of Toxin
Extractor, Pathogenic Defence, and Tracheal Filter reduces the power
level by one, because of the discrepancy between the words and the math
in the Pathogenic Defence and Tracheal Filter.
The reason we decided to use an each level reduction, instead of an every
two levels reduction is, for game effects, if it was every two levels, why
BUY any odd number in levels? Or produce them? For those who are not sure
what I am talking about - look up the description of the effects in
ShadowTech.
