==Neural Jacks and Cybernetic Links==

===Neural Jack===

$5,000  [Ultra-Tech p. 217]  A Neural Jack is required for a cybernetic link.  The character may have as many links as they like, but only one link can be in use at a time, and the price of additional links is that link’s base price multiplied by the number of links the character will have – for example, a second link costs twice the listed price.  A character can upgrade their link by paying the difference between the costs of the two links + $1,000.

Cybernetic links include:

Body Link (The cost of making the body “interface ready” is included.  +1 to Acrobatics, Dancing and Hand to Hand Combat Skills: $5,000: +2 to Acrobatics, Dancing and Hand to Hand Combat Skills: $10,000.  +3 to Acrobatics, Dancing and Hand to Hand Combat Skills: $20,000.  +4 to Acrobatics, Dancing and Hand to Hand Combat Skills: $40,000

Computer Link:  $30,000.  Allows the performance of normal computer use at twice the rate.  Furthermore, it allows the installation of a Computer Interface for true cyberdecking.

Computer Interface:  Requires a Neural Jack w/ Computer Link.  Marquee Interface: $8,000.  Icon Interface: $25,000.  Environmental Interface: $50,000.  Crude interfaces are cheaper, but tend to have unwanted side-effects, often involving loss of normal sensory input.  Some suggested disadvantages and associated price-breaks are as follows.  The disadvantages apply even when the subject is jacked into the net, but never interfere with perception of the net itself:  Aural: Hard of Hearing -15%, Deafness -25%.  Olfactory: No Sense of Taste or Smell -10%.  Optic:  Mild Static in One Eye for -1 Vision rolls -5%, One Eye -20%, Mild Static Both Eyes for -3 Vision rolls -15%, Bad Sight (Bad Focus) -30%, Blind -60%.  Speech Centers: Stuttering-15%,  Mute -30%.
