So I have this PC, right, and he wants to implant some of his smartlink in his cyberleg. Specifically, he's looking to put the Limited Simsense Rig (0.1 Essence) and the Standard Processor (0.2 Essence) in the leg and then link them to the Induction Pad (0.1 Essence) in his hand and the Eye Display (0.1 Essence) in his skull.
(For the record, the smartlink breakdown is on pages 32-33 of Man & Machine) What say you? Is this reasonable? Should I insist that he use a DNI to link the subsystems in the leg (the simrig and the processor) to those in other areas (the induction pad[s] and the eye display) or would that just be pedantic? I don't want to bust his balls, but I would like to stick as close to the rules in Man & Machine as possible. Technically, the smartlink is just one "system"--not separate devices--so according to the interconnectivity rules, no DNI or router should be required. The smartlink is unique among cyber-implants in that it can be broken down into its component parts and so I'm not entirely sure how to adjudicate this. Thanks in advance for your help. :) |
