There's a fair difference between killing a city and taking over a planet: Also Like I said, Orbital bombardments, there's no downplaying or misunderstanding a threat at that theoretical level.
She brought it in her luggage, which she didn't have access to while in the course but was returned to her afterwards, so she could use it the week or so she was done with basic.
Trauma Team does sell their service as both medical and rescue. If you call them they'll come and make sure you're safe even if youre not injured yet.
Wrong story, dude. This is Worm/Cyberpunk, you want Cyborg in the Wasteland, a Fallout/Eclipse Phase cross.
Yeah but once again people are forgetting the fact that this ain't earth bet, in bet and in our world a biological weapon like those that Bonesaw makes is an insta game over, in Cyberpunk 2077 that's just a tuesday in a Corpo War, hell Biotechnica sells bioweapons to the highest bidder. Suffice to say that while Taylor could create some new and very potent plagues which may bring down countries, Cyberpunk would simply adapt to the new crazy on the block and probably accept the loss of those territories and just nuke them and her instead of simply submitting. Another thing worth mentioning is that in Cyberpunk humans have a very expanse like presence in the solar system, it isn't as developed as The Expanse but it's getting there so even if she could blackmail the people trapped in earth there's nothing stopping the ultrarich from moving out and bombing the hell out of Earth and coming back later.
Close enough >.<
I mean, the ripper in Kabuki doesn't have any chrome either. He, however, is a body builder and outright tells you that he believes chrome interferes with your brain. According to Robert Rainwater (the guy's name), even a single replacement hand will lead to a loss of hand-eye coordination and reduced reflexes. Personally, I think he is full of shit, but whatever.One of the ripperdocs in the game has no chrome whatsoever. When asked about it, he says it's because he expects another nuclear war at some point. So he has no desire to become blinded or disabled due to the inevitable EMPs. His tone and phrasing leaves him sounding a bit like your traditional conspiracy theorist. However, considering what caused the Time of the Red, and that he is an actual ripperdoc...
Post-Human Biotech without Sparkly Shard Bullshit is WITHIN THE CORPO TECHBASE. You release a plague, and Biotechnica takes a sample going "ooh! New weapon to sell!", and then makes a cure to sell for even more.
Taylor be bringing the Biopunk in Cyberpunk
All those things...require shard bullshit to make unless she A: understands the tech, and B: has the mundane or tinkered-up tools to do so. High-level trauma medic + very little shard BS to go around means that NO, she CAN'T make that stuff. She can make broad plans about how she WOULD make that stuff, and can understand what she would need to research or build to support those things.
Bonesaw can do all of that and much more.
Yes. We can definitely make completely custom organisms with a computer and a basic lab. We do it all the time, right? Like, we don't spend BILLIONS OF DOLLARS on HYPER-ADVANCED LABORATORIES just to figure out what a SINGLE GENE DOES, do we? We can just use a computer and a basic lab to grow tech and tools for us. The knowledge isn't dumped into Taylor's head, even if Chuwurgion has that data in its storage; she still has to learn if she doesn't want to spend Tinker Sauce.
I was being sarcastic. You CAN'T do biotech with just a computer and a basic lab without tech more advanced than CP2077 (and thus redefining "basic lab") or shard bullshit: and while CHUWUGION knows stuff, TAYLOR doesn't, and Taylor using Chuwugion's knowledge costs tinker sauce.
Keep in mind that her power is a hybrid Thinker power as well. Taylor does have a basically full knowledge of human biology, and medicine, to include genetics that she can consult anytime she wants, as if she had a really advanced medical encyclopedia in her head.
The ways to edit genes in a small lab. If you consider "pushing random proteins into a cell nucleus hoping it bonds together" as editing. We can't swap nucleotides as easily as you are suggesting we can. We can barely insert or disable individual genes, and even then we have a lot of failures. The whole thing about "glow in the dark kittens" that when around like eight years ago? That was false, but the use of obvious markers for when the gene-implantation is successful is needed, and we get more failures than successes.
