War-Wiring

   War-Wiring is a piece of alien technology which is virtually impossible to fully analyze on earth – breaking down the coding is a project on a level with completely deciphering the human genome and portions of it are intentionally obscured by various external effects – hence the characters are unlikely to get the complete information listed below. On the other hand, determining the basic functions of the system is relatively simple: it turns anyone who uses it (provided that they do not already have a power package which preempts it) into a cyber-augmented warrior on a level with a minor superhero. Unlike most such power packages, this one doesn’t actually carry excess disadvantages: those which aren’t side effects of the abilities it provides are just sufficient to pay for the package itself.

Points	Powers	END
0	War-Wiring Package; The “War-Wiring” Package is the symbiotic result of infusion with with quasi-living alien nanites. As such, it counts as the single power package for which normal humans are eligible. It has a net cost of 90 points – the upper limit for a power package – but carries sufficient disadvantages to pay for itself.
