	Interesting.  I'm working on a pair of smart pistols (sort of back
burner for the moment, while the "fun" stuff gets done) and I think I could
tie the targeting into the eyephones.

	Interesting, but may take some convincing to get the GM to goforit.

	Many interesting ideas,thanks much... the terminator option,
idaknow.  If I can find a book on streetslang, perhaps, but that won't
be easy.  Maybe drop by a local linguistics dept. at a nearby college...

	Nonono... I think you missed the point.  They aren't designed to
be lockpicks or computer crackers.  Those options are there to increase
the range of possibilities for the Ratbots once they get inside a ship
or building.  Also, most ships have a self-contained system that is hard
to hack into from the outside.  On the other hand, a Ratbot sneaking
into a secure terminal at the heart of the ship and downloading a virus
program...  Your last comment, as a bug or spy device, is precisely on
target.  They are for spying and doing mischief (what the tiny little
hands are for :-)
