Adrenal Pump Rating Bio Index Avail Cost SI Legality 1 1.25 10/16 d 60,000 3 5P-R 2 2.50 10/16 d 100,000 3 5P-R Desc The Adrenal Pump allows the user to roll 1D6 for each level to determine for how many combat turns a rush of adrenaline and noradrenaline stays in the blood stream once the user suffers wound modifiers or great fear. The effects of the Adrenal Pump are to add one to quickness, two to strength, one to willpower, and two to reaction. The quickness does not effect the reaction bonus, which itself does not effect the combat pool. However, the quickness and willpower bonuses /do/ effect the combat pool. At the end of the period in which the hormones remain in the blood, the user must roll Deadly stun damage resistance against a power equal to the number of turns the hormones remained in the blood. It takes 9 + 1D6 minutes before the pump can be activated again. Compatiblity Adrenal pumps are not compatible with move-by-wire systems, as the combination produces violent and uncontrollable responses that are out of proportion to stimuli and the body's natural reflexes. Such catastrophic over stimulation is unworkable. Cat's Eyes Bio Index Avail Cost SI Legality 0.20 4/6 d 15,000 1 Legal Desc Provides Natural Low-Light vision. Incompatable with Cybereyes, Retinal Duplication, and Retinal Tailors cyberware. Compatiblity Cat's eyes are not compatible with cybereyes or retinal modifications. Chemical Gland Bio Index Avail Cost SI Legality 0.60 10/4 d Special 3 5-Q Desc The Chemical Gland can be used to store chemicals for exhalation, spitting, internal release, or weapon reservoir purposes. Users gain a partial immunization against the compound produced by the gland, gaining double her natural Body rating to resist attacks with the chemical. Hitting a target with exhalation requires a ranged attack test using Quickness as the combat skill with combat pool use. The greatest range of effect is half the natural Body in meters (round down). The breath works like a shotgun with a choke setting of two. Hitting the target with spitting works similarly to exhalation, except that it does not spread like a shotgun blast and the range is the character's natural Body rating. A +1 modifier to the target number is applied for each meter beyond one. Digestive Expansion Bio Index Avail Cost SI Legality 1.00 6/10 d 80,000 2 Legal Desc Digestive Expansion alters the stomache as well as the senses of taste and smell, to greatly expand the range of organic items that the user can digest safely. The character can digest almost *anything* organic. Reduces power of ingested toxins by half (round down). The effects may also be reduced at the GM's discretion.

Denver Shadowrun MU* uses custom house rules for this item. Please consult 'hr:ware' for more details. Compatiblity This systemic implant cannot be integrated into a cyberlimb. The Reaction gain conferred by enhanced articulation is lost if the character gains a Reaction bonus from Quickness enhanced cyberlimbs.
