How long would it take for the Arc to whip up a virus to incapacitate your systems? eek.gif

*Massive amounts of number crunching*
4 processing cycles, but Deus will need to refit a drone to hook up with the troll, and that will take longer.

And this costs how much?
Phaeton
...It cost the decker nothing, as he hijacked it inside the arco, but as far as the actual cost goes...

...*flatlines as he tries to calculate the cost*
Siege
That's an interesting idea -- how about hollowing out a chunk of troll to create an artificial womb?

The cyberwomb or belly compartment.

Eh...it was either that or pack a bunch of robotic or bio-organic tentacles with poison stingers for those really special moments...grinbig.gif

Do I want to know what you're thinking, Siege?
Siege
Probably not, but then I've always been accused of being weird. grinbig.gif

Imagine three or four tentacles, either mechanical or biological, curled in a pouch in the user's belly. The tentacle pouch flaps open allowing the tentacles to shoot forth to engulf a target or to strike repeatedly with the implanted stingers at the end of each tentacle.

It would never be a common augmentation, but for that plothook of the escaped bioweapons systems...grinbig.gif

Grey
Ummm... Phaeton.... How the hell did you have essense for all that?
Fresno Bob
I think it might just be a robo exoskeleton, rather than just a bunch of cyber installed in someone.

Essence? biggrin.gif It's a giant battletank made from spare cyberware. Not a replacement cyberbody. You fit inside the infernal contraption. biggrin.gif

EDIT: Voorhees beat me to it... cyber.gif
Fresno Bob
That's cause I'm the man.
Phaeton
But are you the man with the plan of spick-and-span flan?

Or are you just the man?
Fresno Bob
I'm the main man, the avatar of awesomeness, the proverbial promulgator of perfection, if you will.
Phaeton
But do you have the plan of spick-and-span flan?

Because if not, I shall be forced to banish you to the lan(d) of walking cans (in other words, the Gunbunny thread.) biggrin.gif
Fresno Bob
Uh, sure, why not?
Phaeton
Okay. Fair enough.

P.S. Sorry. I just needed excuses for horrid rhyming. biggrin.gif rotfl.gif grinbig.gif WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Cyberwings.

Seriously, Leonardo da Vinci came up with an effective wing mechanism for human flight, only it requires muscles stronger than any human has. With cyber augmentation a set of deployable wings made of some lightweight alloy tubing plus ballistic cloth should be possible in the SR universe. They'd probably require a cybertorso for the huge torque needed to lift off, have a wingspan of perhaps 5-7 meters, and have a rating to determine how much weight, above the weight of the user, they could carry. Flight would be an active skill probably linked to body. I'd put the essence at similar to any other cyberlimb, perhaps a bit high, like 1.25 per wing. They'd always be obvious and socially disturbing, be incompatible with a balance tail (Because a stabilizer has to deploy there) and give the player a movement rate of x6 when flying.

EXCELLENT IDEA!! Mages have levitate for personal flight so it would make sense that a mundane version would be avaliable. I think Fanpro should really consider this.

My friend essentially did that with a PC of his...
Joker9125
How did he do that?
Phaeton
Wait...It was a mage with nonfunctional cyberwings for effect (the guy had an angel motiff). He used levitate to do the actual flying. biggrin.gif

Why? There is no reason why there has to be a mundane version of everything a mage can do.

And why not? Its safe to assume that their would be people who envy magically active poeple and would want to be able to do everything a mage can. Who wouldnt be envious of a mage?

Me. Because the stereotypical mage has a Body, Strength, and Quickness of 1 and I, with my katana in hand, can easily slaughter him/her.

Provided he doesn't turn your brain to pudding before you yank the sword free of the scabbard. grinbig.gif

Quickened reflex spells are a bitch.

But what if they use a Barrier spell, Tanka? biggrin.gif Ha.

He has to have it cast first. biggrin.gif

Yes, yes, I know, it circles back to having a reflex spell quickened or the Barrier quickened.

What's the average for initiates again? 1/100 magically active, meaning 1/100 out of the already 1/100. None too many, huh?

Mages are like bullets -- it only takes one good one to ruin your day. grinbig.gif

Thats cannon but as far as game terms go initates are about 99/100 so id say the chances are pretty damned good

@ Joker: Makes enough sense...
Tanka
I realize, but the Shadowrun community does not represent the world.

OK, OK, so maybe it does (Since my GM tends to think that L4 Initiates and higher are very commonplace).
Phaeton
I wouldn't know, as I know next to jack nothing about initiation and very little about mages/shamans/the Awakened in general...Although for some reason I want to play a troll wujen and a weirdo demi-blood mage for the sake of roleplaying something new...Go figure.
