Does not stack with the Lightning Reflexes feat; use the higher. Minor to moderate benefit level.

Install Risk: Medicine DC 16 for the motor-cuff seat. Recipient makes a Fortitude save DC 13 or gains Botched Implant: motor-twitch, -1 to Dexterity-based skill checks until a Medicine DC 14 tuning.

Origin: Core Families security contractors, Ironball duelists seeking a draw edge, and Confederation customs officers who need the hand speed.

Strain: The wires carry motor noise. Permanent -1 to Stealth in environments where a hum or micro-vibration can be sensed (silent-running air handlers, vacuum-suited EVA, quiet observatories), and the wires draw blood-glucose.
