Compatability
Biomorph only (includes pods, uplifts)
• Bioware (B) includes gene mods, nanosurgical
tissue alterations, and implantation of bio-
engineered organs. Because of its organic nature,
bioware is hard to detect in scans; genetic testing
or other bio-sampling is required. Use Medicine:
Biotech to diagnose, implant, or repair.
• Cyberware are synthetic devices either implanted
within a biological body or “grown” within using
nanobots. Cyberware is detectable with x-ray and
radar. It can also be Hacked. Use Medicine: Biotech
to implant, Hardware: Electronics to repair.
Synth only (includes bots, vehicles)
• Hardware (H) includes add-ons to synthetic
shells. It can be Hacked. Use Hardware: Robotics
or an appropriate field for vehicles to install,
diagnose, and repair. Many non-ware gear items
can be mounted on or incorporated into a shell’s
frame as hardware (GM discretion).
Available for most or any Morphs
• Meshware (M): Plug-in apps that enhance
infomorphs. These may also be installed with
cyberbrains (ie. mostly synths & pods but also
a minority of biomorphs). Vulnerable to Mesh
Combat. Use Program to install, diagnose, or repair.
• Nanoware (N): Internal nanobot systems active
within a body or shell. Includes an implanted
hive to maintain the nanobots. Detectable
like cyberware, but bots themselves are only
detectable with nanodetectors or detailed bio
sampling. Can be hacked. Use Medicine: Biotech
or Hardware: Robotics to implant/repair.
Each ware item can only be installed in the same
morph once unless otherwise stated.

Nanoscopic Vision
The shell’s visual sensors can focus
like a microscope, using advanced
superlens techniques to beat the
optical diffraction limit and image
objects as small as a nanometer.
This allows the character to view and
analyze objects as small as blood cells
and even individual nanobots. The
synthmorph must stay steady to view
objects at this scale, and the range is
quite limited (less than a meter)

Memory Lock
When activated, this implant prevents
your sensory input from being stored
in your long-term memory, tagged by
mnemonics, or recorded/transmitted
by your mesh inserts or other means.
It also temporarily blocks cortical
stack backups. You retain short-term

Emergency Farcaster
Designed for situations when a remote
backup cannot be ensured. Features a
single-use emergency neutrino broadcaster
▶336 powered by 10 nanograms of
antimatter, stored in a magnetic container.
If your morph dies, or you activate it,
the antimatter is detonated with matter,
powering a single pulse of your ego’s
most recent backup. Your head explodes
and cooks your morph. Your transmitted
ego will be saved as long as the neutrino
receiver is within 100 astronomical units.

Mind Amp
Mind amp alters your neural
architecture and augments neuronal
functions. This accelerates your mental
faculties and ability to receive and
process sensory information. Time
subjectively slows down, allowing
you to discern things happening too
quickly for others to perceive, such as
individual frames of an old analog film
or an accelerated audio recording.
Mind amp increases your Insight by 2.

Dead Switch
Dead switches are designed to keep
cortical stacks ▶316 from falling into
the wrong hands.
If your morph is killed or the switch is
remotely activated, it wipes and melts
your cortical stack completely, so that
your ego cannot be recovered. This
option is generally only used by covert
operatives with recent backups.
Cyberware, Hardware
Cost: Min/1
Ghostrider Module
This implant is a host for carrying
another infomorph. This infomorph
can be another muse, an ALI, a
backed-up ego, or a fork. The module
is linked to your mesh inserts,
so the ghost-rider can mentally
communicate with you, access the
mesh, and connect to other parts of
your PAN, depending on what access
privileges you allow. You may install
multiple modules.
Cyberware, Hardware
Cost: Maj/3
Multiple Personalities
Your brain is partitioned for an extra ego
(generally as a tool to help deal with hypercomplex
environments). This can be a separate Ego, NPC,
or another character’s fork. The extra personality
acts as a separate ego (it may backup and fork), but
both backup on the same stack and if downloaded
must sleeve in separate morphs or one with this
implant. Only one ego is in charge at a time, with
the other in the background. Subsumed egos can
take mental/mesh actions. Each knows the other’s
actions. thinking, etc. If the subsumed ego tries to
forcibly take charge make an opposed WIL Check.
Each ego maintains its own stress traits, but share
the morph’s pools. Psi sleights or social/mental
influences only affect the lead Ego. Maximum 4
Egos at a time.

Remote Backup Link
Your cortical stack is linked to an
implanted farcaster ▶336 connected to
a secure storage facility. Using standard
radio and quantum encryption ▶247, the
farcaster broadcasts full backups of your
ego once every 48 hours. This transfer takes
a single action turn. At the GM’s discretion,
the backup interval may be done more or
less often, keeping in mind broadcasts are
limited for security and bandwidth. The
RBL must be within range, so is limited to
select habitats or where you have arranged
for secure storage, eg. a nearby spaceship.
Can be jammed.

Chameleon Skin
The morph’s skin contains complex
chromatophores so it changes color like a
chameleon. You can match the appearance
of almost any color and most patterns.
Apply a +10 mod to Infiltrate Tests, +30
if stationary and either nude or wearing
smart clothing with the same color/
pattern. This does not apply against radar,

so on down to the nanometer scale. These
fingers can operate independently, allowing
for ultra-fine manipulation. When coupled
with nanoscopic vision, this even allows you
to manipulate individual nanobots.
Apply a +10 modifier to Hardware Tests

Hibernation
You can voluntarily decrease your
metabolism down to only requiring
5% of the normal amount of food,
water, and air. In this state, you appear
to be in a deep sleep, but maintain
awareness of both touch and sound
and so can be easily awakened.
Entering or leaving this state requires

Prehensile Tail
Your morph is equipped with a
1.5m long tail, extending out from
your tailbone/backside. This tail is
prehensile and you can use it to grab,
hold, and manipulate objects. You
can control your tail’s movements
with concentration, but otherwise
it tends to move on its own.
Your tail also improves balance; apply
a +10 modifier to Athletics or other

Oxygen Reserve
A miniature tank and rebreather installed
in your torso. When activated, it overrides
your breathing, feeding oxygen directly into
your blood stream. This provides you with
air for 4 hours and avoids problems with
pressure changes. Automatically activates
in poisonous or insufficient atmosphere
(Know: Chemistry 80). This mod does not
protect from vacuum exposure, but will
keep you conscious and active for longer.
Once empty, it recovers one hour of oxygen
for every hour you spend in a breathable
atmosphere (or 15 mins in a high-oxygen
environment).
Cyberware
Cost: Min/1
Pressure Adaptation
Your morph can handle extreme
hydrostatic pressure conditions,
up to 500 (biomorphs) or 2,500
(synthmorphs) atmospheres.
It also acclimates to pressure changes
quickly and is immune to oxygen
toxicity, nitrogen narcosis, and the
bends.

Skinlink
Skinlink nanobots live on the morph’s
external skin or shell, automatically
swarming over and creating a physical
connection with any electronics you
touch. They also take advantage of the
electrical field in a biomorph’s skin for
communication. They allow you to
communicate and mesh with skinlink-
equipped devices, devices with external
access ports, devices with exposed
electronics, or other skinlinked characters
merely by touching them. This is
considered a wired link, and so is not
subject to sniffing or jamming.

Prehensile Feet
You can use your feet like hands. Your
joints are altered so that your toes are
longer and more dexterous. The big toe
is opposable. Physically, your morph’s
feet resemble a long, narrow hand or a
foot with finger-like toes. You can walk
normally but need specially designed
shoes. You run slightly slower than an
unmodified morph (–8 to full movement).
Your hips have greater mobility and
flexibility. In a suitable chair, or in zero g,
you can use hands and feet to manipulate
the same object. Common among people
who live in microgravity.

Retracting Limbs
Some or all of your limbs can retract
completely inside your shell’s frame.
A limb can hold one very small item
while retracted (small morphs can hold
micro items, large morphs small items).
Retracted limbs and the items they hold
can not be targeted in combat.

Wings
Your morph is equipped with a pair
of wings; either additional limbs or
restructured arms. For small morphs, this
allows gliding and limited flight in Earth-
like gravities. Medium-sized morphs can
fly in gravity less than 0.15g; in higher
gravity they may be used to glide. Large
and very large morphs may not use this
augmentation. Most wing designs are
transgenic and based on bat physiology, so
that they may be easily folded when not in
use. If combined with the retracting limb
ware, these wings may be folded into your
arms or back.

Auto-Erase
This app will auto-erase an infomorph (or
ego in a cyberbrain) if certain conditions
are met. This is useful if you are worried
about brainhacking, forknapping, or being
trapped in a lockbox. Common trigger
conditions include detected brainhacking, a
codephrase, psychosurgery, a time period, or
upon failure to receive a periodic message.
Some people use this app to keep forks from
going errant; many polities legally require
forks to be equipped to delete themselves
after a set number of hours. Auto-erase
functions even if the infomorph does not
have privileges on that system.

Infomorph
Ware & Apps
Meshware is designed for infomorphs but can
also be installed in cyberbrains (synths, pods,
some specialised morphs).
Meshware takes only a complex action to
install or uninstall. Once installed, it remains
with the informorph when it moves or
copies. Meshware can also be installed within
cyberbrains. Other apps can also be installed
as meshware, so they are embedded within
the infomorph.
Apps can be run via the Mesh or any
computerised device, so can be stored/used
directly by Infomorphs and morphs with
cyberbrains, and via standalone device (eg. a
Mote) or a Mesh connection by biomorphs.
Cost: Min/1
Copylock
Copylock prevents an infomorph
(or ego within a cyberbrain) from
copying, whether voluntarily or not,
without proper authorization. This is
used to restrict forks, indentures, and
people who don’t trust themselves.
It also defends against forknappers:
brainhackers that attempt to copy
the infomorph suffer –30 to their
Infosec Tests. Copylock also prevents
an infomorph from moving between
devices or sleeving into a morph.

Vacuum Sealing
Your morph is modified to survive in
a vacuum. You can seal your orifices to
prevent the freezing of bodily fluids from
evaporative cooling. A special membrane
protects your eyes, enabling you to see in
vacuum without distortion or damage.
Your system is also protected from the
effects of decompression sickness and
hypoxia. You are still vulnerable to
asphyxiation, radiation, and possibly heat
(in sunlight) or heat loss (in shade), and
so this mod is often coupled with oxygen
reserve cyberware, respirocytes, and/or
cold tolerance.

App-Lock
App-lock makes it more difficult
for an installed app to be removed
without proper authentication (apply
a –30 modifier).
This is useful for infomorphs/
cyberbrains that are brainhacked and
modified against their will. The
protected apps must be designated in
advance (when app-lock is installed or
reconfigured).

use this meshware to enter a heightened
state of security—Defensive Mode.
When activated with a quick action, the
mod to brainhack you is increased to
