Nanotech
« on: January 28, 2006, 01:30:32 PM »
Just got Man & Machine, and theres some cool stuff and good rule clearing junky stuff in that.. but reading the Nanotech section gave lots of ideas.. Nano implants might be some rather good things, for Vamps, least from the undeads point of view, since they dont really seem to suffer from bio reject, least from what i've read.. could be simple as the oxy-rush system for vamps, with the nanites supplying oxygen they dont have to worry about running out under water and going dormant.. which could lead to trouble for hunters looking for easy targets in submerged vamps..

And, their bodies being dead they can say... stuff in the basic materials into themselves for nanites to use to reproduce more. Kinda scary when think bout, possibly even make it so one could cancel out the rejection factor many vamps have with cyber parts.. I may have to check into it myself... well.. once find a beta/delta cyber clinic that doesnt take shots at vamps on sight......

One other thing.. is they didnt really discuss the possibilitys of a Gray Goop incident..

...........................

Vampires if are submerged under water for to long and cut off from oxygen go into a dormant state which makes them completely vulnerable. Its easy for them to sink as they arent bouyant any more which makes crossing water a problem, with that they get all the advantages of an air tank without lugging it around. Traps the players i've had on vamps included trapping them in flooded sewers, even pit traps where the sides are smooth and the bottoms full of water, from there they can pick them off at leisure or what ever. with that mod they can just wait for hunter to come back and get them as they like.

I don't know if adding O2 into their bloodstream would help them much though... and who knows what a vampire system would do to nanites... I can't imagine them working together perfectly...

but if you know a vampire that would want to test them out on him/her self, I bet I could find a company willing to 'sponcer' it...

True.. but with a corp sponsor, there also generally comes the "We own your ass for the rest of your life" and for a vampire.... thats a REALLY long time....

well, if you didn't want to go that route, there's always the good ol' fashoned 'work' for your money.
and by work, i mean, rob a corperation, and let them sponcer you THAT way.

then I'll find a street doc who wants to publish something, and let him install them.

probibly do the work for free, but you'll have to sit arround for a couple of days so that he can watch you:
A) Explode
B) suffer bio-rejection
C) Run faster/jump higher when the oxy-rush is activated
D) have nothing much happen

Ok, I'm going to be the killjoy here (and for once I do hate to do it) but vampires aren't undead in Shadowrun. They are humans and metahumans who have contracted HMHVV. In fact, as far as I recall, except forGhost/Specters & Shedim, there are no undead in Shadowrun. Even ghouls are alive.

Now as far as nonites go, wouldn't they suffer from biorejection if they were anything but transient nanites? A nanite factory would be immediately purged, and so would some of the other nanite-assisting tech. You might be able to get some injections of nanites in a free-floating condition, but anything else would just get purged.

That was my guess; but here is where it gets interesting in my mind:

does a vampire's system use oxygen the same way we do?
would getting transiant oxy-rush injected into them really help?

And, if it did work, how long would they stay active in the vampire's system?

Yes, a Vampire uses Oxygen just the same. However, when in a dormant state underwater or cut off from oxygen they still lose Essence, so a vampire can "drown" but rather than from asphyxiation, essence loss.

That depends, you can starve to death, but how many people do you know that starved to death underwater? Somebody finds a dead vampire under the water they're gonna say, "Wow, this poor schmuck drowned to death."

Well after they starve themselves essence style, perhaps they'll take a big lungfull of water to seal the deal?
