DR. BROWNS UNDERGROUND CLINIC

Sitting just above Gaimans bakery, a half mile north of the combat zone and 4 blocks east of the Forlorn Hope lies the underground clinic of Doctor Dan Brown.  Of course he isn't a real doctor anymore, the state made sure of that when he was arrested for failing to report a gunshot wound.  Dan Brown isn't his real name either, thats another secret he doesn't share.  Nothing about this clinic is legal.  Dan installs illicit cyber, makes illegal modifications, buys stolen cyber, and even custom builds implants for the well paying customer as well as .  The clinic also serves as a street emergency room for those of the less law abiding community who need a safe place to seek medical attention with no questions asked.  Dan doesn't advertise, he is known to those who need to know him.  He survives by reputation and cunning, and always knowing where to draw the line, even if it well past where the law says it ends. Dan keeps a small inventory of used cyber, mostly stolen pieces that he has purchased and repaired.  The inventory is always changing but his prices remain the same. Standard Cyberware he buys for 1 tenth of the listed value, after he makes any repairs necessary he sells it for 50% of the listed value.  For an additional fee of 2000eb he will custom modify any cyber to the customers satisfaction, plus the cost of parts.  For illegal modification he charges an extra 500eb plus parts.  For twice the listed value Dan will also custom craft from scratch and cyber the customer desires. Dan is a skilled surgeon and master cybertechnician.  His clinic may look filthy but rest assured his instruments and his operating room are kept very sterile and in immaculate condition.  For implantation he charges the listed price,  but charges double for the medication, including painkillers and speedheal.  With his facilities he can handle most procedures, including Full Conversion Replacement with the aid of his assistant.  His assisistant is a former med school student named Mary Ringer who was expelled after she was caught stealing narcotics from the dispensary.  She works here in order to pay for her morphine habit.  In addition to her invaluable service as his assistant, Mary is adept at biosculpting due to her former career goal of becoming a plastic surgeon.  Her skilled hands have been put to the test often in creating new faces for anyone needing to dissapear.

ON THE SHELVES AT THE MOMENT







CUSTOM CYBERNETICS



2 MILLION VOLT TAZER HAND Cost: 1500eb HL:2d6 - More powerful than any other tazer on the market, this hand is powered by the same type of battery that goes into Hardsuits.  It has enough power for 15 shots before needing to be recharged.  Damage dealt is 6d6 electricity/stun.




40MM GRENADE/MICROMISSILE LAUNCHER Cost: 3850eb HL: 3D6 (takes up all but one limb space) - Available for either cyberleg or arm, this limb is a break apart desing concealign a 5 shot 40mm grenade/micromissile launcher.  The barrel of the weapon actuall acts as the arms skeletal structure when the device is closed, making it very hard to detect by conventional cyberscanning (diff:27). If you have to use this weapon, make sure you don't get caught with it, or you won't be seeing daylight for a very long time.


And of course Dan tries to keep as many cyberweapons in stock as possible, and any he doesn't have readily available he can craft himself.
