Editing Drugs, Chemicals, and Toxins (section)

== Narcoalgorithms ==
Narcoalgorithms are software programs that simulate the effects of drugs on biological bodies. Almost all bio, chemical, and nano drugs can be replicated as narcoalgorithms, with corresponding effect (gamemaster discretion). Narcoalgorithms may be run by infomorphs, egos encased in cyberbrains (pods and synthmorphs), simulmorphs, and even AIs. Standard duration is 3 hours. Addiction to narcoalgorithms is considered mental.
'''DDR:''' Originally crafted by prankster hackers and distributed as a virus, DDR (for “Dance Dance Robot”) triggers impulses in the target’s motor control circuits. Primary targeting robot AIs, the effect is that targets “dance” in jerky, automated movements. Pleasure receptors are also activated so that dancing—and movement of any kind—feels good. Different software variants invoke different motions and styles. The target suffers a –20 modifier on other actions while dancing, but the dancing may be overridden with a WIL x 3 Test. '''[Low]'''
'''Linkstate:''' This software actually connects the user to a peer-to-peer network, where it randomly connects to other linkstate users and samples a bit of their XP feed and randomly accessed memories—typically just enough to provide context, but not enough to acquire private personal details. These inputs are spliced together, their emotional inputs amplified, and then the entire package is spiked with some hormonal circuit triggers and artificial synaesthesia. The effect is a mind-blowing mixed sampling of people’s lives, mashed together in a sensory soup, that hits the mind with a euphoric rush. Linkstate users are catatonic while under the effects (typical sessions run 3-4 hours), but afterwards they often report that they have flashbacks of events in other people’s lives. '''[Low]'''
