Finger Camera: A tiny still camera fits inside the tip of one
finger. The camera can shoot 48 photos on a tiny microchip and is designed
to automatically adjust for low light and bright light exposures.
Cost: 1,200 credits. Recording Micro-Chip costs about 50 credits
each and takes about 30 seconds to reload.
Finger Video Camera: A tiny video camera that fits into the tip
of one finger. The camera transmits to the via a headjack and optic nerve
implant. Video camera is very useful to see around corners without being
exposed to fire. If used to fire around a corner, shoot has no bonuses
other that if the gun has laser targeting. There are four special features
that can be added to the video camera. Only one feature can be added to
a finger. Possible additions are light amplification, thermo imaging, ultraviolet
visions, and telescopic augmentation (x10)
Cost: 4,000 credits, 2,000 credits to add an additional feature.
Fingerjack: The artificial finger can plug directly into communication
systems, radios, sensory equipment, and robots, and receive/transmit direct
data transmissions. Note: Needs amplified hearing or other cybernetic/
bionic ear augmentation to receive or transmit audio data. Needs an optic
nerve implant to receive video transmissions
Cost: 2,400 credits.

Finger Mini Light: In the tip of the finger is a small but powerful
light that has a beem about 100 feet long. Uses either a micro E-Cell (Same
