Jesus, can I actually sit on these couches or are they like, off-limits like a fucking museum exhibit?

I kinda figured the origins would be mostly the same. For my world, Extensions came about during the Great War. The idea was to build super soldiers, and finally turn the tide.
That's right. A GSU can't access their full combat capabilities without authorization from a Hands. Attemptin' to force it causes our sub-brains to shut down. It's how the military kept us in check.
Spooked the hell outta me, y'know! Thought for sure you were about to go cyberpsycho on my ass. Jeezus.
Don't really got tech like what you've got in your back where I'm from. And if we did, I don't think anyone would be able to get that installed without losing their mind.
... Where I'm from, getting that much chrome installed drives most people off the edge into bein' a cyberpsycho. But there's one guy who's full borg. Adam Smasher. Works as the garbage guy for the top corpo in town. Hear he's one scary motherfucker.
I know our mods don't work the same way. But if you were from my world...
It's cyberware. Getting too much of it, so much that you forget what it's like to be human. Hard to say for sure where that line is, though. 'Cause everyone's different, y'know?
Some people, it only takes one piece of cyberware to go rollin' over the edge. Others, it takes a fuckton more. Guess it depends what their brain's doin' even before all the software and shit. Always ends the same, though.

My bro was killed by a cyberpsycho. Lost people on our crew after they went cyberpsycho, too.

Took me a while, but I've made my peace with it. Besides, whoever I was before I was... this is long gone. I got no memories of before the war.
