Expert System Implant (PL 6)
This small brain implant contains a Expert System for a specific skill that advises its recipient to perform a specific skill more adroitly.

The recipient gains a +2,4,6 competence bonus on checks made with one class skill of his choice.
Different skills require different implants, and a skill implant cannot be modified to grant a bonus to another skill.
A recipient may have multiple skill implants, but each is considered a separate cybernetic attachment.
Type: Internal.
Hardness/Hit Points: –/1.
Purchase:
200,000 ECUs Mark I
350,000 ECUs Mark II
700,000 ECUs Mark III

Expert System Hub (PL 7)
This unit, implanted in the recipient’s brain, allows multiple Expert System implants to function as a single cybernetic attachment (see Expert System Implant, above).
Benefit: The recipient may have up to four ES or M-S ES implants attached to the ES system Hub, and together they are treated as a single cybernetic attachment.
However, if the Hub is destroyed, all of the attached ES implants are destroyed as well.
