I was looking about for some research material for runners to steal that whilst of great value, was also pretty useless for the same runners to use. These were 2 ideas I was toying with. Are they compatible with SR tech and magic, but not at current levels of tech/magic, maybe in 10-odd years?
1) Bio-encapsulation - A technique for reducing essence loss from cyberware by enclosing the implant with a bioware interface that is tailored to effectively produce bio-electricity and screen the host from contaminates introduced by the cyberware. 2) Booste - A drug-style compound (similar to awakened halucigenics or FAB) that temporarily enables mundanes to have a magic rating, but causes real magic point loss on the comedown. Safe for mundanes, if you ignore the addiction, lethal to "real" awakened power. 3) Mutaware - A once only treatment to the subject's DNA that boosts an attribute point by 1 only. This works by mutating the subject towards an normal ideal (Att = 1-6, ex. racial mod.) whilst being minor enough that magic is not effected. Repeat, not looking for confirmation of valid current SR tech, but whether this could be possible with SR tech that is 2074 or later. What are your views? |
