X-VSP

The Exploitive Virtual Sensory Perception (“X-VSP”) augmentations are similar in function to the more benign VSP augmentations, but the recipient of X-VSP has no control over turning the augmentation on or off unless the recipient of the master allows.  The recipient of a X-VSP master unit can control any combination of up to 5 X-VSP transmitters, receivers, or hives.  The recipient of the X-VSP master model can allow the recipients of X-VSP malware augmentations to activate their own augmentation or take control away from them as a swift action on their turn.  A regular VSP augmentation can transmit and receive sensory information from an X-VSP augmentation if the recipient of the master allows it.  For additional information on X-VSP transmitters, receivers, and hives see “Virtual Sensory Perception” under the Augmentations section of this Emporium.

The X-VSP master II model can control up to 10 X-VSP transmitters, receivers, or hives and this number increases to 25 with the X-VSP master III model.

 X-VSP USE CASES

Depending on the type of campaign you are running, malware like a X-VSP augmentation can take your game to a really dark place and all players might not be ready for these type scenarios.

X-VSP transmitters are primarily used to force the recipient to knowingly or unknowingly spy on their loved ones, exploit corporate intellectual property, or commit espionage against top secret government programs.  This malware is commonly implanted with a small neural computer and cortex bomb to assist in motivating the recipient.   X-VSP transmitters are also used to satisfy the fetish kinks of those who are often too cowardly to commit the brutal or illegal acts themselves. 

A X-VSP receiver is most often implanted and paired with a X-VSP transmitter in a second individual.  A crime boss might motivate a law enforcement agent to break a few rules by linking said officer with a captive spouse, or loved one.  However, a judge in an eye for an eye society might sentence a criminal to an X-VSP receiver so that they might experience the pain of a victim for the rest of their days.
