Finally got one of those reprinted Man and Machine sourcebooks. Overall, its an ok book, got some areas that made me frown, but I'll save that for another topic.
What I did like was some background info it provided. It expanded more on nanotech and how its used for cybergear and such, as well as the new section on nanogear specific systems. Anyhoo, it talked about how nanos were used to make nanowire, originally intended to be woven into monowire cables, able to support huge weights. But has been more known for the infamous monowire whip. What I was wondering, would it be possible to completely protect yourself from cutting yourself off at the knees by lacing your shin/knee guards with monocable? Heck at most you'd probably only need 2 cables. Would monowire snap when running into monowire cable? Would you trip over the monowire like it was a regular wire (but strong) strung across the hallway? How much would you think it would cost? Would it be worthwhile as a defense? What other defense could you get to completely protect versus monowire tripline dismemberment? Sure loading up on heavy armor is one way, but I'm looking for something a bit more subtle. |
