... 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.
Sub-brains are auxiliary brains that take care of the computin' part of makin' Extensions work. Means the human brain takes less of a load because it's not runnin' code for every little thing.
Guess it comes part and parcel with the tech. Beruhren's the company that developed Extension technology for the war, and now they profit off it at everybody's expense.
Yeah. Yeah. Soundin' real familiar, old man. Jesus. Kinda sucks that our worlds are so fucking similar. At least you guys got your sub-dicks or whatever though.

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.

[ The only parts of him that are still human are like... his organs. The rest is machine. ]
You guys don't have sub-brains?

[ like? another head? ]
Pretty sure some folks do but it's just called their dicks.
