Title: How can you detect Bioware or Geneware ( 5ed rules)
Post by: Seras on <05-05-20/1517:49>: Hi guys,

I'm working on corp security for a session. I know where to find the cyberware scanner. I also know that ascanning will detect Bio- and geneware on a good roll.

But what about technological discovery methods ? I was thinking about a cyberdog with scent booster ( like at airports) but I cant find anything about the detectablity (stealthrating) of bio- and geneware...

Thanks for the help guys

Post by: Hobbes on <05-05-20/1528:04>: RAW no technological scanner spots Bioware or Geneware. Medical tests would, as would autopsies, and Astral Perception would give it's usual information.

But having a better, but totally organic, heart/brain/lungs/bones/muscles? All good, walk on in.

...so it really is perfect for a secret super soldier program...for people like Humanis or Human Nation !!

Good to know "thumbs up"

Thx

Post by: Reaver on <05-09-20/0305:07>: Be sure to read the bioware carefully too. Some if that stuff is actually noticible, like orthoskin.
Others can be detected second hand.... such as with a scale and bone density..
<simple pressure mat at a doorway, combine with a cyber scanner. Someone steps on the mat, you have an exact weight. Compare to height cross section from the scan, compare the two.... if the person weights more then tge average fir the cross section, alert is raised - turn over to live inquiry>

Post by: Michael Chandra on <05-09-20/0336:46>: Eh, Bone Density might add 3.5% weight per level. Not that easy to notice without way too many false positives and negatives.

Post by: mcv on <05-13-20/0450:18>: I think a dog makes sense. Dogs are incredibly good at smelling subtle things that you'd never think are smellable.

Would they detect all bioware? Would they detect them all equally? I'd imagine adrenal boosters smell very different from orthoskin.

Post by: Stainless Steel Devil Rat on <06-17-20/1347:13>: A biomonitor or a blood sample can probably detect lots of bioware too, via signatures carried in the bloodstream.
