Okay I was thinking that part of the problem with all this hacking cyberware could be solved in a different way. I want to introduce a type of internal computer but I want a different term then commlink. This computer would not work as a communications device. It would act as a CPU for a character with lots of cyberware. It would coalate information from all of it and provide diagnostics and damage reports. It would contain internal harddrive space for head ware memory. It would have the ability to hold lingasofts and such. It could coordinate all kinds of internal systems and programs.All cyberware would be connected to it through fiber optic cables under the skin. It would have some of the same systems as a commlink but it would not act as a communications device.
Basically it would work as the internal support brain for a cybered character. They could also have a commlink doing all the normal stuff but it would not be connected to the internal one. Maybe have a datajack dedicated to connecting with the internal one. You could access it yourself but it would have it's own firewall and defenses and would be designed and modified for you. This way there is no wireless cyberware signals. If you are a cyberdoc then you can connect a cable to it but there is no way to hack it from a distance. What I need is a good name for it. It shouldn't be called a commlink because it is not a communications device. Any ideas? |
