Psychics in a Hamilton Cylinder

It struck me, reading panopticon. That the Hamilton neura lstrata is meant to mimic a biological brain - can't be hacked, and so forth. so what happens when a watts-mcleod victim inhabits it? Do we get a Psychic hamilton cylinder? Because that could get very. Very scary. I think I approve. Thoughts?

I think I approve as well!

I think I approve as well! Though I think an a-sync sleeved in a Hamilton Cylinder would probably go a bit bonkers getting there. After all, downloading yourself into one of those things comes with some hefty penalties and a-syncs aren't stable at the best of times. Of course, if you are an infolife it's easier, but infolife can't take psi. I personally think that infolife's loaded into actual biomorphs should be able to get psi and by the rules as written it is possible, but seems like it would be very, very rare.

I'm not sure if the Hamilton

I'm not sure if the Hamilton Cylinder cyberbrain thing is close enough to an organic brain to work. An idea I had. What about a Hamilton Cylinder that was recently infected by a Titan nanoplague? Those things can mimic organic psi abilities in synthmorphs and machines. Now think what would happen when the said ego is pushed to psi 3 (psi-epsilon) abilities.

I think small...

Worse than the first thing to spring to my mind: A Fenrir synthmorph fitted with the new Brainbox system that's in the Transhuman open beta. Multiple networked organic brains in a walking tankmorph.

insane?

well, I certainly hope so. I'm currently thinking on a campaign. And the notion that we have as a 'base' for the firewall team, is a Hamilton cylinder where we have a morph - the guy who owns it, and a firewall sentinel - inhabiting it, then at some point the sentinal is infected with an exurgent virus variant - purely mental one, that gives you psychic powers and slowly stats driving you mad - paranoid delusions, say... as your mind is slowly transformed into something alien.. slowly starts going mad and developing psychic powers WHEN HIS BODY IS THE STATION YOU LIVE IN.... It's awesome! Bonus points if we arrange matters so that it's the /player's fault/. Yess...
