All spoilers aside, I have to admit, the movie Surrogates got me thinking.

Just so happens my friends are planning a SR4 game next week and I already wanted to do a physically absent Rigger/Hacker.

I read in one of the recent threads, "tips and tricks" I believe, that it was a good idea to have a throw away 1/1 contact as a fall guy. It got me thinking, why couldn't a rigger/hacker with a proficiency in cybertech and medicine be able to take a homeless/druggie off the street and implant cybertech/biotech that would allow them to control them like any other rig?

I originally was going with the idea of purchasing headware, comlink, low-life style, cranial bomb, etc. to have the person act in their place for physical meetings. But after watching the movie (also, always a ghost in the shell fan), I have to ask the professionals.

My SR4-fu is weak, do the rules allow more complete control over a person than blackmail or bribery can provide? I will of course discuss with the GM, but if there is something that would be a strong starting point, it would make for a much stronger case.

Thanks chums!
