Ok chummers, thats pretty much a straigth forward question. Aside from drugs, i would like the hear which uses do you guys have for the Auto-Injector mod in armor?

[Mason]

One guy puts the Awakened drug Immortal Flower in it. He gets the Regeneration power, and he has no implants to lose, so it's almost like anchoring a heal spell to yourself.

[JustADude]

Combine with a Biomonitor and a supply of Zero. Takes a lot of the sting out of a Severe Allergy.

[Falconer]

OP said non drug uses...  which is tough.

Because besides drugs... there's not much else besides toxins/chemicals to load into the suckers.


Guess you could always do the classic... do this or else I press the button on the autoinjector.

Or you WILL wear this suit of armor everyday... (remember the cat they gave Thufir Hawat he needed to pet everyday to get his daily antidote to whatever it was they poisoned him with).

Security Taggants in a liquid solution.

I could see rescue personnel or cavers using them with long lifespan Security  RFIDs to broadcast locations. Spec Ops or similar might use a low lifespan brief flash Stealth RFID to show location for pickup.

DOOOOOOOOOONT the first dune movie is the biggest crime ever done . never met adune fun that didn't had something bad to say about  it sorry but they totally frag the story

[CanRay]

Autoinjector full of air going right into the blood stream...

I'm going to assume you missed the black portal of a movie Hig...nope, can't do it, it doesn't exist. On a completely unrelated note, isn't it weird that they went straight from the first Highlander movie to the the third one. It's like there's a gaping crater where a second one should be.

It even made Terminator 3's dialogue look good. I mean seriously, standing in front of a giant metal bunker door and stuttering "huh...this must be a blast door of some kind." We're supposed to believe that is the future John Connor that leads mankind against the machines.

Dune wasn't good, but it wasn't by any means the worse. It's pretty much a general rule, any movie created from a book is going to do some at minimum minor butchering. I can only think of one movie better than the book it was based off of (then again, I've had bowls of alphabet soup better than that story so it's not saying much).

Quoted for truth. Even one of the better book-to-movie translations butchered several main characters, and left out or rewrote major parts of the books. I'm talking, of course, about LOTR.

That`s a nice idea, specially if the Auto-injector is wireless controlled.

I like having a pair hooked up to a bio monitor, one has a stimulant patch, the other is a trauma patch, helps keep my sams alive when they take hits.

Thats one of the uses i`m not pretty sure about: can slap patches be combined with Auto-injectors?

[ArkangelWinter]

Itd be just like extracting liquid morphine from RL morphine patches. Get a hotplate, water, make some Chemistry checks, load the liquid results into the autoinjector.

Technically no, but the drugs in them can.

Slap patches are like big bandaids or nitro-glycerin patches your grandpa might use to thin his blood.  (yes nitro is also a drug, it's absorbed directly through the skin).

So the easiest way to understand what a stim patch is... it's a big band-aid (slap patch), with a dose of DMSO, and a dose of rating X stimulant in the fabric part which applies it's medicine through the skin (DMSO) when put in contact with the skin.

You could also just take the stimulant drug and inject it directly using an auto-injector... (don't know about the boiling and whatnot.. since that might 'cook' the drug... but hey give it a try if it floats your boat).  Just make sure your character makes his chemistry/medtech roll to pull off the trick...

[ArkangelWinter]

Extracting liquid narcotics from a patch always requires heat of some kind, in RL. It's also highly illegal, and gear used to do it should get a runner hefty fines at least, years in jail possibly.
