Cyberware and Bioware must be purchased with cash (the cost listed below does not normally include Surgery and recovery costs). Both have the following qualifiers…
:1. Cyberware and Bioware cost Strain as found in the SFC (pg. 29 but ½ Trait die for Strain Stat; i.e. d6 both Spirits and Vigor means max Strain 3.0) which has an adverse effect on the casting of spells by the user but also acts as a penalty for helpful spells casts on them (see Sorcery). Add all systems Strain cost together to get the final Essence Cost. 
:2. Cultured Bioware can be ‘grown’ for a specific individual and when grafted into that person only costs 50% the base Stain (round to the nearest 0.1) and increase the Bioware cost by 60%.
:3. Alphaware cybernetics are next generation technology and not as invasive into the recipient’s psyche. Reduce the Strain cost by 80% (round to the nearest 0.1) and increase the cost by 50%. Betaware reduces the Strain cost by 50% (round to the nearest 0.1) and increases the cost by 100%.
:4. Cyberware and Bioware can be Detected by modern scanners and sensors, and with Aura Reading (Astral Projection/Duel-Nature). Can be blocked by implanted neural interface disruptors.
:5. Cyberware automatically has built-in RFID tags to receive patches and software updates. Most runners and security personal have these function turn off (often illegal for civilians).
:6. You cannot stack any abilities with any other similar ability from any another source (i.e. Wired Reflexes grants a Multi-Action as does the Spell Speed-Quickness or Edges like Quick and Bioware implant of Reaction Enhancer. They do not stack, take the better of the two.)
