>>16535879Not always true, that.
depends on what kind of mess you have behind your eyes. Just say, for example, you spent the second half of the RainforestWar handling tel-operated drones as a conscript.
Well, turns out that some of the blackbox interface mess that was used takes a passive tap from the visual cortex "for debugging" Pff.. like any conscript gear was ever debugged.
Intercept the wrong patterns and find yourself flipped into semi-active mode, but no HALO and all the contextual packages were already ripped out and "demilled for safety". No HALO means no overwatch, and no context' means you get to lay on the ground drooling until someone finds you.
You only have to wake up in a brain-blown ward once to learn this kind of lesson. They never even checked service tags, just dropped me with the fuckin' burned out wireheads.
Two cures.
One: VSA gives you the call to let you know your number has finally come in and there is a clinic spot open for you.
>HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHATwo: Spend the last of your demob cash(and more borrowed) on a used.. ok, black market, HALO rig. Spin it up with homebrew context libraries and at the least you can prevent lockup.
>and make some coin back putting those tel-op talents to work.
