Cybernetics

in 3.14.0 Ghost in the Machine

The new augmentations and variant augmentations presented here are designed specifically for use with the advent of the encephalon cyberdeck.  

C.O.R.E.

Recipients of an encephalon cyberdeck do not have to go through the CORE process to have their ghost integrated with a cybernetic avatar.  This process is also referred to as going full borg.  Only an ECD recipient that hasn’t yet activated it may choose to undergo the core process.  However, most recipients that have not done so choose to activate their ECD since it greatly reduces the expense and eliminates the danger of gaining cyber psychosis while going through the CORE process.

More information on Complete Organ Removal and Encasement (“CORE”) can be found in _About Cybernetic Avatars .

AVATARS

An avatar is more than a cybernetic augmentation, it is a package of augmentations for individuals who have undergone the CORE process. There are dozens of different avatars to choose from, but most seek out avatars that augment their role or are assigned by a sponsor.

The embryonic chamber is not required for an active ECD recipient because they do not require the transfer of their brain and spine.  However, the Avatar is equipped with a gray matter synaptic mesh. 

More information on cybernetic avatars can be found in _About Cybernetic Avatars
