So, a big 'ol cyberdeck can be pretty obvious, and certainly not everyone can or wants to be otaku. There's the cyberlimb deck, but if you're having trouble smuggling a cyberdeck somewhere, chances are the limb is going to give you similar trouble. And not everyone wants to devote the essence into a cranial deck, which still shows up on cyberware scanners. So what about this?:
Build a cranial cyberdeck. Don't implant it. Put it in a pocket secretary case, or something PDA sized. Yes, it's more expensive to use cranial parts, but look how tiny! Use a name brand pocket secretary case & screen. There's no reason a cyberdeck can't run the software that a cheap pocket secretary does, so it could emulate one to any casual inspection. It scans as a computer. Yep, that's what everyone was expecting. Any thoughts? |
