Veruca was the bossy i want it all kid who went down the bad egg chute.

probably just 'Crash Suit' would work. or whatever YT's suit was called in Snow Crash.

So you have been crazy enough to jump out of that perfectly good airplane. You pull and ... nothing. You pull the spare - oops Guido worked on that one too. Now what to do?

Simple:

Orientate your self feet down, cross the legs and stretch out your arms.

Q: Will that help me survive?
A: No, but it makes it easier for the undertaker to get you out of the ground

[/OT]


Additional gear:

That "bake a mask" stuff from M:I
Fiberoptik cameras
EMP grenates/fields/generators

Drugs that (temporarily) supress magic
A few more robots (as oposed to drones)

Usefull non-lethal weapons

Genetically constructed monsters with the basic racial features
Rules for Exoskel-Powerloaders and civil consultants

Hmm... Howabout cyberwear that deploys wings like a wingsuit? That sounds very personally appealing. I imagine clothing might make things complicated, but I'm sure that could be worked out. With hydraulic jacks you might be able to basejump and land unharmed without any external equipment.

(Ands the hamster runs...)

I had an idea once for a combination of cyberware and nanotech for reflex-boosting, namely a modified RAS-override to block all voluntary muscle control, and a nanite network that transmitted the blocked signals via their own optical data transfer methods, rather than the old meat way.

Changing the current electrochemical signal transfer over to an optical model, even given latency for hopping from carrier to carrier, should statistically provide reflex boosts at least as good as the highest-rated Wired Reflexes.

an optical nervous system. neat. you know, you could use that to set up an alternative to MBW--Move By Optical. rather than putting the brain into a seizure, you just RAS it out of the loop, then use an expert system to keep the muscles in an analogous 'always on' state. the brain tells the expert system what it wants to accomplish, and the system directs the optical network as to which muscle tremors to unblock.

And it'd be relatively non-invasive, in comparison.

Sleep augmentation cyberware. While I sleep I can watch my favorite Trid programs in my dreams, and have it exercise me on the treadmill and weight machines too. Thus I can be a fit couch-potato without it eating into my busy schedule.

I'd sat a cyber Spine would be cool. Increase quickness and body, Limited armour. and more essence frienly like the Cyber Torso.

Ooh, Cyberinsulation would be cool. You'd never need a jacket!

If it had been intended, I'd have probably italicized it...

They do the same thing with ears and noses and such. It just a piece of teflon that they put solution in or on and the skin cells start to build over it then they just move it to where it belongs. It does not give functionality to the body part it is just a replacemnet to make the person not feel like a freak. This kid my be able to urinate through it, but I highly doubt it will be functional.

I would feel wierd knowing I had my junk fried off by pissing on a live wire, then I would be feel strange walking around with a penis attached to my forearm. Couldn't they grow it on his leg or something, why not were it use to be? Like put a urine tube in the penis prostectic so when it is finally grown in it can be used and not go thrugh all the extra sugery?
