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.

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.
