QUOTE
The troll cried and mewled. His head was in a steel gripping vice. Prydz looked on curiously as the surgical unit flashed on its red laser reticule and started up the drill. The drill dug into the skull, spitting out hair, skin, and crushed bone. Another appendage came in to replace the drill, cutting its way through the blood brain barrier for the third appendange to start its work on implanting a commlink.

“What was his transgression?� Prydz asked curiously.

“He was a mage or a technomancer. I can’t remember. They will all come out the same. The price of lying is harsh to be a member.�


So, what happens to a technomancer or mage who has his/her parts replaced forcibly with secondhand cyberware? What if this happens to a PC?

(I mean obviously you don't behave like a babboon if the GM describes the scene above, by jumping on the table urinating on it, followed by setting it (the table) on fire. That would take effort.)

So besides passive-aggressive reactions of the player, what could a character do in the SR universe?
