Enzymatic Reinforcer Treatment

1) The enzyme produces a membrane over the cyber unit - nerve interface, in effect reducing the items impact on the body. Thus reducing essence loss if the enzyme is used before cyberware implantation. This effect has been termed the "HALO" Effect after the Treatments creator, Dr. John Halos Carpenter Marcus.

2) The enzyme acts as a sort of caretaker for the delicate interface. This reduces maintenance cost of cyber items and reduces the need for regular check-ups. The only disadvantage the treatment has is the fact that the enzyme lowers the bodies immune system to lower levels. This in effect means that the user has 1 point less body when dealing with diseases and toxins. The lowering of the maintenance cost works with diagnostic systems as well.
