Biotechinca BrainBox
This is a biological wetware computer incorporating 2.5 kg of biomass and
several I/O ports. When delivered is "tabula rasa" and must
be taught any skills and tasks it needs to use in the future.
The brainbox learns skills at approximately 25 times human speed and is
useful for theoretical calculations, as well as surveillance and remote
control. The BrainBox requires only electricity and oxygen. The box weighs
approximately 5 kg and includes two week battery and 1 hour air supply.
Cost: $1 600 000
Attributes: Int 12, Tech 12, Luck 0, Empathy 1
Game Effects:
Learns a new expert or theoretical skill in a about a week (+1 add per day).
Maximum
skill level is +6 (Int/2). When used in conjunction with your own skills it
gives you a +4 to any Int, Tech or Edu skill check.
Essentially an improved version of the BodyComp, the BrainBox is
too large to be fitted as cyberware. Direct neural link is required for a
skill bonus, but the brainbox can be consulted using a terminal or audio.
Interface with a BrainBox is unsettling, as a cold, emotionless and
frighteningly
intelligent entity is in constant contact with your mind. Prolonged use
may lead to Empathy loss, but you like those bonuses, don't you?
