What about in your head. The description talks about it interfacing with your entire brain and tendrils through it. Is a regular DNI enough or do you need something special.

For that matter with a specialized skill wire and an interface could you jump into someone elses body and control it?

You need a Control Rig (described on page 452, and on the chart on 453) to jump into a drone (or Rigged vehicle). A RCC (Rigger Control Console) will allow you to control multiple drones at once. To control someone else, you need manipulation magic, so no jumping into Bob to turn him into a meat puppet.

People get all bent out of shape if you start making Bunraku parlors out of all your friends....

That's what got me thinking about this with skillsofts, skillwires, rigged interfaces do you really need magic to control someone like a puppet? Recently encountered in shadowrun returns it had just that with a decker controlled Troll so it is workable. ;D

I know you need an RCC but the description for that sounds like you need extra hardware to interfscr with it. As opposed to just a datajack.

Shadowrun Returns was a special Cyberzombie prototype though.
