Bioware Nictating Membranes by Richard Harris

"Safety from irritants and daily optical hazards!"

These membranes are slim films which lower to protect the wearer's eye on somatic command (usually blinking hard). They are an extra eyelid which fits under the wearer's own outer natural lid but is transparent and does not hamper vision. The membranes protects the eyes from dust, smoke and other surface irritants including liquids. Swimming in polluted water or walking in the summer time smog is much less of a problem. 
Although there are many manufactures there are two main types of membrane; biological and cybernetic. Both come in pairs and are not compatible with any type of contact lens. To install a set of them requires minor surgery which costs $500 and they will be dysfunctional until the wearer is fully healed.

The biological membranes offers +2 against irritant gases and liquids (inc. mace, CS gas etc). They have complete protection against water and other non-irritant agents, including smoke and dust. For an extra $300 they can have a photo reactive chemical which helps protect the eye from bright lights, although not as good as cyber- or bio-optics - it halves the amount of time the wearer will be blinded. A pair of these costs $300. They have a total humanity cost of 1D6.

Muscle substitutes by Emmanuel FRANCOIS

Human muscles are replaced with vat grown muscles, faster and stronger. Bones are reinforced to withstand increased stress. Level 1 to 3 aren’t visible, level 6 is as obvious are grafted muscles II. This can’t be combined with muscle/bone lace or grafted muscles, but you can have an armorweave.

« An expensive improvement, but very effective. They’re more expensive than the common grafted muscles, but they really worth the money. Muscle substitutes increase your strength, resistance and speed. - Frenchie »
