I just started in a new shadowrun game, in which I made a combat hacker who is fairly cybered out, complete with obvious full arms, legs, and torso. This situation never came up, but if I had to go into full VR, my body would just collapse. Now I'm not super concerned because I have 18/20 armor due to cyber armor on all my cyber locations. I was wonder though, I have my cyberware clustered into a group, slaved to my private commlink. Is it possible for me to use 1 of my 3 matrix initiative passes to command my cyber body to run/move? Kind of like a half ass rigging of my own cyber body? It would seem that I could use one action to use a command program to move. Now the level of coordination might vary, but it seems like it'd be possible. That way, I could have 2 extra actions to hack in the matrix. Let me know if you all think this is valid. I'm interested to hear what everyone thinks.
