"See? You got superpowers! I just got mutilated! Then again, I already had magic, which might be even better. So it all works out in the end, I think."

Bishop just stared at Timmy.

"They aren't superpowers. They were installed in my body through scientific means, not anything magical or unexplainable. Now be quiet, I want to listen to the news."

"How about the dudes who get superpowers from, like, radiation and stuff. That's scientific, isn't it? And those super soldier types who use their powers for good? That's totally what's happened to you. Just get a cool costume, like one of those industrial suits, beat up some criminals and bam, you're a superpowered crimefighter, like Captain Magistar or something. And I would be Weirdo Tim, your sidekick or arch-nemesis, whichever you prefer."
Think of a cool, catchy heroic name for Bishop.
((I just thought of something. If the next mission is in an area of civil unrest, that might mean one thing - hot drops. Oh god, the hot drops.))

((Yeah, hot drops can really mess us up... I hope there's no hot drop...))

Bishop sighs in frustration.

"Radiation doesn't give you powers, it just gives you tumors, radiation sickness and death. And there is no super soldier that uses his 'powers' for good, they just do what they are ordered to due to mental conditioning and brainwashing. And need I remind you that we are all criminals here? Other than volunteers, those poor stupid bastards, doing serious crime or having a magister throw you in is how you get in this joint in the first place."

He then glares at Timmy.

"And don't talk to me about the damn magisters. I hate those guys."

"Well, you could be a gallant freedom fighter or something. Maybe the authorities will hate you, but the kids will eat that stuff up. Who knows, maybe you can use your superpowers to make the world better, like a real superhero would. Wouldn't you like to do something like that? Get a place in history as the first real superhero? 'Cause I think that that would be pretty awesome. Get yourself a sweet setup on some rebel planet, do some well-intentioned terrorism on people who deserve it, score some advertising and propaganda deals. Path to immortality, that's what it is."

Asks the doctor
What kind of side effects could the genetic modifications cause? And what would you charge me to have it done?

A far off look came into Bishop's eyes as he stares at the screen and keeps clicking the remote.

"I got into this place by doing just that, and I was branded a traitor, a terrorist and a threat to society.

...

I don't feel like talking anymore. Leave me alone."

Flick through news channels looking for interesting stuff.
Define interesting.

The anchor mentions civil unrest on some planet named New Ceres ...
(Next mission.  Calling it now.)
Exit VR, pay the armoury master a visit and inquire as to the availability and prices of these systems.  Also, current token count?
7 tokens

You ask the armory master about the decompensator and their price.
"Well, Cheapest one is 5. Most expensive one pushes 20."

You think for a moment about Bishop and what a good name for him would be. Mr.snuggles. Yep. Perfect.

Asks the doctor

"Increasing nerve response and speed might cause degeneration. Spasms, uncontrollable movements. Aggression. Numbness, paralysis."

"Standard treatment is 10. Experimental is free."

Go on VR machines.






You go to a vr machine and sit down, strapping yourself in.

Mr. Snuggles... Mr. Snuggles... they'll never know what hit 'em!
Think of a great theme song for Mr. Snuggles.

Search for news broadcasts that are related to events that Steve might send us on a mission on.

(( So what side effects do we think im going to end up with?
And luckily most of the side effect are things that can be fixed with the right electronic implants to regulate my body may take a while to get but i should be able to fix most of them in time.
But if the dice gods are on my side im not gonna have that problem.
Haha when do the dice ever go the way you want?
Bring on the freaky Frankenstein surgery. ))
Civil unrest looks good to me , civil unrest means human people with human machine's and i can hack human machines (  Assuming the doctor dosnt kill me first. )

Looks at the doctor
Ill take the experimental but you do only what i asked you for and nothing else.
And if i wake up with a missing limb were going to have a problem.
Mine will be over riding the airlock door yours will be learning to breath in a vacuum.
Get the point doc?

(Yeah... this isn't going to end well.  For you.
Also, if I purchased the cheapest medical decompensator right now and later wanted a more expensive version, could I get the first one replaced or would I have to have the second one installed alongside the first?  Would the effects stack if I got a second one?  Also, how much of an effect will the cheapest decompensator have?)
