+|Description=While chemical glands were originally intended to produce insulin for diabetics, megacorporations soon learned that there was a market for any number of unusual natural pharmaceuticals and organs that could produce them, and the streets quickly followed suit. The chemical gland is a small organic sac that produces a single substance. Often implanted in place of the appendix, the chemical gland can also be located in many other spots inside the body, such as the roof of the mouth so it can be used with fangs, or perhaps near an internal weapon system to provide a coating of venom. Even more unusual placements have been dreamed up. Each gland can only produce a single compound, chosen when purchased, and the selection cannot be changed. These compounds must be naturally occurring and not synthetic. The gland produces a single dose every twenty-four hours and can hold as many as four doses at once. An expanded reservoir is, of course, available. Note that the implantation of a chemical gland in no way provides immunity, or even improved resistance, from the substance for the user. The gland’s protective sac keeps the compound from leaking into the body naturally, but if introduced in another way (such as biting one’s self with fangs), the user can be exposed to it.

 Bioware is subtler, more holistic, and less invasive than cyberware, at the cost of being substantially pricier. Instead of replacing body parts with machines, bioware augments the body’s own functions and integrates transplanted organs that function as natural features. The application of biotechnology is a tricky business, as the fine balance of homeostasis between the body’s organic systems must be maintained. In the last decade, bionics and bio-engineering techniques have taken bioware from cutting edge to commonplace. Bioware is more expensive monetarily, costs less Essence, and is much harder to spot. Also—and we’d like to think this goes without saying—bioware has no wireless capability at all.
