Neural Processors:

Neural Processors are a key component to cyberware. At their simplest they are the device that allows the brain and the cyberware to communicate with each other. They can be a whole lot more. Each piece of all the off the shelf cyberware comes with a default Neural Processor. This works very well if you all you want to do is the simplest actions such as move your arm it is possible. If you want to use a popup gun in both arms and tie it to your targeting eye and slave both guns to you targeting computer who is monitoring 12 simultaneous moving targets, your going to need a bit more.

Neural Processors that come with cyber ware are usually buried in the guts of the cyberware. This usually means they are farthest from any damage that might be incurred by the cybernetic devices. For those above and beyond these most basic the can be implanted anywhere. Generally they are placed in the head or in the body. Limbs are to easily subject to damage to allow this to happen. Some extraordinarily paranoid individuals place one in both the head and body one as a back up. This provides no addition benefit besides knowing if the first should fail the second will work.

Neural Processors have a lot of add on features available first we will tackle the basic processors.

Neural Processor Mark 0: This is the one that came with the original cyberware. It only works the cyberware it came with, no upgrades available.

Neural Processor Mark I: This is the basic processor most borg have. It allows the user to use multiple cybernetic systems while maintaining autonomic nervous function. It can be also used for various hardware linkages

Neural Processor Mark II: This is a bit more advanced system. It has greater processing capability. It will handle all basic cybernetic systems, and smart cybernetic systems, and can run basic software. This system also lets the user use body parts they are not used too, like let a biped use quadruped limbs.

Neural Processor Mark III: This neural processor is actually used to provide an augmentation for the mental capabilities of the user. While they still are limited, it can provide the user a with abilities they would not normally have..

Neural Processor Mark IV: This is a beauty. It allows high level integration with the recipients brain. It has a sophisticated onboard computer capable of running top of the line skill softs. The user eventually will find it almost impossible to tell when he ends and the system begins

Neural Processor Mark V: This could also be considered two brains are better than one. Effectively the Neural Processor will provide the user with a second brain. It is so sophisticated that a small AI could be added.
