Everyone needs a socket to slot Chipware in but not everyone’s willing to pay high prices for it. No problem. Here’s a Chipsocket that’s both cheap and reliable.

Neuralware Option. Requires Neural Link. A single socket installed in the back of the neck allows quick installation of a single piece of Chipware, of which there are many varieties. Installing or uninstalling a single piece of Chipware from a Budget Chipware Socket is an Action. The first time you install a piece of Chipware you’ve never used before, you always accrue Humanity Loss. Re-installing Chipware you’ve already used doesn’t lead to Humanity Loss. Multiple sockets may be installed, but each must be paid for individually.

Whenever you take damage to your head location, the Chipware socket violently ejects the installed Chipware. The ejected chip flies up to 30 m/yds behind you. Roll 1d10. On a 1, the chip is destroyed in flight. The chip is always easy to locate due to its smoking, red-hot glowing edges.
