Re: [HOE] Drain for cybernetic devices

[Robert Holland <robert@macauley.com>]

The same--G-rays--although cyborg/scrapper devices are usually powered by a
spirit fetter/soul tap rather than spirit batteries. Maybe that's the
trick--fetter/tap energy is transitory or something and needs to be constantly
replenished, so even a separate junker device powered by a cable link to a soul
tap would need its normal drain each round. Hm.
