IIRC, There's three 'branches' of Sykers:
Banshee Sykers: Humans who served on Banshee, with the fortitude edge. 
veteran of the nasty wars on banshee against Anouks and friends.
Earth Sykers: They have their own edge (Overkill?) that works 
differently.
Greenies: IIRC, Brainburners mentions that Greenies are very definitely 
'something special' having learned their ;rule bender' as part of the 
whole Reckoning.

Since each branch gets a separate 'booster' ability, I'd be hesitant 
about allwoing a character to double-dip in any way...

Hey, did your players enjoy it? That's much more important than keeping 
the list crew or Shane happy...

And if your posse enjoyed it, that'll keep Shane happy, too, I think.
