>>>>>[Don't doubt the good Dr's word just cause of a night out drinking.  There are more things in sky and earth, Bear, than dreamt of in your philosophy.

My suggestion would be to check out some of the works of Dr. Fiona Craig here in Seattle. Her work on Awaken Biology and Symbolic Mythologial is an eye opening read.  I used to regard the field of Anthropology as something that wouldn't have a tie to Biology, but tis one has changed my mind on some of this.  Don't expect I'll start quoting Ehrin now, but I will pay more attention to how we affect the sphere of magic around us.

Speaking on those topics, SteveZ, I expect a report on how the "magic defense and targeting" system I lent you for your work, performs]<<<<<

>>>>>[Hoi Belial.  Welcome back chummer.  I totally know the feeling of an involuntary cyberarm.  Lost my arm to a cybered up bandersnatch once.  I was out of commission for a couple days, so my partner Johnny 99 decided to try saving a few bucks, and got a used cyberarm put on, rather than springing for a vat-grown arm.  Not fun, and freaked the wife out something fierce.  I lost that same arm three more times over the next couple of years, and eventually put a cloned arm on, and got rid of the metal.  Felt a little wonky after that long, but still a lot more comfortable for me than the cyber.  I dunno how folks can voluntarily hack off major body parts like that.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Yeah was on a run against the Big A and well the last thing I remember was some slotted wage mage spinning mojo in my general direction.  Next thing I know my credstick in considerably lighter and I've got some new chrome.  You hear of and good jobs recently?  My normal fixer set up the Aztechnology job so i'm not a big fan of him right now.  He's lucky I'm a forgiving person.

Yeah MacCallister, those guys are generally on another level of crazy. I ran with a guy how had his legs removed in favor of chrome. Lets just say that was a long scary experience. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[You are lucky to have gotten off so lightly. From some of the things I have see Aztech, and more specifically their magic users, do, a few extra bits of crome would have been the least of your worries. There are a select few who think that Aztechnology is no better or worse than the "average" corp, and this may in fact turn out to be true. But I have seen first hand what Azzie magicians do to those unlucky enough to be taken alive, and for that I reserve a special place of hatred in my heart for them. Never has the axiom "Geek the Mage (or shaman) FIRST" been more true than with Aztechnology.]<<<<<
