Wired Reflexes
This cybernetic enhancement would essentially speed up the subject's reaction speed, and reflexes. This is a complicated procedure that would replace the nervous system of a person with a more efficient cybernetic version. The distance between the nerves and the muscles is drastically reduced and a small semi-smart synapse emitter would be implanted at key areas in the body near the joints. By reducing travel time for the brain's signals to reach the joints the subjects reaction speed is increased. The synapse emitter would allow the limbs to react without requiring control stimulus from the brain to reach them. As the user becomes more used to the Wired Reflexes the synapse emitter would gradually 'learn' the necessary actions required of it, giving the subject the maximum potential of the enhancement. It would be difficult to 'preprogram' the emitters as they have to be calibrated for the user and each person may move differently in subtle ways. Thus a period of training would be required for the subject to become fully proficient in the way their new body enhancement functions.
These two key elements would give the subject incredible amounts of combat prowess in that they'll be much faster 'on the draw' and have speed of thought melee reflexes. Due to the highly invasive nature of this procedure, and the amount of strain it produces on the body, it is only recommended for full conversion cyborgs. The hardware necessary for the Wired Reflexes also meshes better with cybernetics then natural flesh.
Subjects usually become a lot twitchier as a result and may even react inappropriately to certain stimuli due to the nature of their reflexes being a little more independant. The Wired Reflexes cannot be 'turned off' as it has essentially replaced their original nervous system. A biological version may be achievable.
The cost of the procedure is too expensive for regular street levels, limiting it even moreso to full conversion cyborgs who are already likely being supported by government or corporate level financing.
