a radio is just a radio. you can push any sort of data through it. I could hold an acoustic coupler over a public band Ham Radio Channel, and broadcast webpage content to anyone with a ham radio, and another acoustic coupler.

So, headware memory actually comes with it's own sub-processor, they don't say much about it, but it's actually there.

you program your cyber eye, with the cyber camera, to constantly dump video into a select space in headware memory, when the memory gets full, it starts overwriting it's self automaticly. that's all controlled by the cyber-camera. you can move to a secondary memory address if you just saw something you want to remember later.

okay, then you get a bio-monitor. when the bio-monitor goes flatline, it sends a signal to your radio. (gotta love DNI) your radio, picks up the signal, and runs a simple macro,
find the EOF command in memory location X
broadcast data through cellphone to: address(whatever)
you have address whatever set up as a data drop point. (any decker can buy a phone number, and a computer in a secure location, and set it to receve, record, and then broadcast information to a variety of places, public or private.

So; here's a run-down of what you need:

Headware radio, with DNI
Biomonitor, with DNI
Cyber Eye
Cyber-eye-camera
Headware memory

and, on the outside of your body:
Decker Contact (probibly level 2 at least)
a $1,000 personal computer.
a $100 / month personal phone
a safehouse (another $1,000 / month)
pay the decker (or me) $1K to set it all up. run a couple of tests.
pick a site, give the address to your friends, and a couple of news companies. tell them to just add it to their favorites, because it may ocasionally play interesting things.

then, ocasionally send interesting things there. upload 5 minutes of that joygirl you picked up, or 5 minutes of a gunfight, or 5 minutes of a meet with a questional J
the 5 minutes of a J renigging on your contract to double cross you. that'll do wonders for his rep.
whatever. ocasionally keep it interesting so people go there.

then, when you bite the big one, they'll see it when it goes down, and what lead up to it.

It may be a digital signal, but what would the carrier signal be?

[Ruski]

well, it's just a modem.

every comlink has a modem carrier signal built into it. (so you can download ring-tones and whatnot)
you'd just be uploading information on the same protocal.
like taking pictures of the ocean on your cellphone, and setting it as your wallpaper at home...

only instead of pictures of the ocean, it's pictures of the slot that just shot you... and instead of your wallpaper at home, it's an E-journal that several important people ocasionally check.

I really like this idea. I am printing this out to give to one of my players who may like to do it, and keeping a copy for someone to do it to them.

Gabriel

[AJStarhiker]

nice

[Ruski]

it's all about the information.

in this day and age... it's much more explosive than any of the simtex derivatives.

[AJStarhiker]

You know, maybe I should figure out a none-cybered version for my character...

[Ruski]

well, there's always a 'long way' to do things by hand, without cyber or magic.

actually, thoes are the people that I like.

Well, she is vindictive.  Although she's also smart about it.  If she doesn't think she can win at that moment, she'll wait and figure out a way to get even that won't get her killed.

If she does get killed, she'd want a way to still get revenge.

[Ruski]

well, you could carry arround a video camera on your shoulder and have it hard wired to a cellphone...
or, some glasses. they make 'spy cameras' that work in glasses.
could patch it into your docwagon wrist bracelet with a B/R electronics 4 test... it would take a bit of wireing, but I bet I could do it with enough money... let's see now...

Okay, Mr. Spy eye camera glasses.
a pocket secertary, with wireless web access, and 100 MP of memory...
a docwagon gold contract...
and, a little bit of wire to tie them all together.
you'd have to keep that stuff on at all times. i'd suggest going with an actual wire between devices, as the 'wireless interface' that you could use, would be a pretty target for hackers.

from there, you'd need the same back-end. a decker contact or me, to pull it together, a computer worth about a grand, and a phone / safe house to keep the data-dump in.
or, to cut-down hardware on your person, you could opt out of the PDA and instead use a better cellphone plan... because if you wanted to cut out the PDA, you could have all the tasks taken care of by your PC at the safehouse, but you'd need a constant scream of information to and from.

and, if you wanted it to work everywhere, you'd need a sat-phone on your end....
(don't get good cellphone service for upload in the congo)

[AJStarhiker]

How much would that set me back?

[Gabriel]

You get a micro camcorder and hook it into a flexible fiberoptic lense mounted in your hair running along the axis of the glasses, or even runing on the inside of the frames and down to the P-Sec. A bit more secure than the wireless.

Gabriel

[Ruski]

Yea. there's all sorts of ways to bug yourself.
thoes kits can run from 40Y to 8,000Y, dedpending on how delux and sneekey you want to be.

the only interesting part is the P-Sec/Cellphone combo

and again, you can get as delux or bargan basement as you want with that.

range in cost from probibly the low $1K to upwards of $10K
plus a monthly fee, or a decent decker contact to hack you a phreaked phone. each way has it's pros and cons.

hacked = could be brought down at an inopertune moment
payed = costs money, and might be able to be traced back to you (not like that would matter if you're dead though)

[AJStarhiker]

eh.  Might wait on it.  At least until I've made an enemy or two.

[Ruski]

*shrug*

so, what's the whole package cost?

assuming you don't have the decker contact, and you'll have to pay the $5K introduction fee, I think this would be a good breakdown:

cybered version: $120K

external version: $25K

you can of course spend more, and get delux versions of the same, or less, with used parts, but I think that's about the middle range.
