Interface Plugs

So what do you need to run the Net besides a cool brain and a hot interface? Plugging into the vast metaverse of the Net requires two additional and all important pieces of hardware.

The first is a set of neural or interface "plugs." interface plugs are basically just that - plastic plugs built into the Netrunner's wrists, temples or back of neck, to be connected to a cybermodem by cables (as described in Putting the Cyber Into the Punk).

You can get by without plugs; all you'll need is a set of 'trodes. These are self sticking electrodes that pick up neural signals by skin inductance. They're slower and less responsive than plugs (-2 to REF while in the Net), but they are cheaper and don't have any humanity cost.

The other thing you'll need is a cyberdeck.
