What is this?
All roads lead to Chrome is a supplement for
CY_Borg that expands upon the base cybernetic
system. It is meant to bring a risk/reward mechanic
to using cyberware, along with more options for
different playstyles.

Feel free to change, modify, tear apart, and butcher

any rules or parts of this supplement to fit your
campaign’s needs!

You are free to reference and use these rules and

mechanics in anything you create, publish, and/or

 Mechageist Lair
A sprawling underground compound comprised of caves, carved out rooms, and the
remnants of old buildings. The place has a strong smell of gasoline mixed with blood.

A: Entrance Tunnel
The entrance to the lair looks and smells like an old sewer tunnel. A large metal grate locked
with an old-school mechanical lock blocks the path forward.

The room past the sewer grate morphs into what looks like a cave carved out from heavy
explosives. It has been “decorated” with dented chairs, pieces of scrap metal, and a rusty hook
holding a set of keys that open the grate.

B: Disposal Room
The stench of rot hits your face as you open the door (Toughness DR8 or you vomit).
The room is filled with rotting carcasses, body-parts, lumps of red matter and dark-red stains.
There are also d2 bloated, dormant among the mess.

C: Ritual Display
A dim, candle lit room. The wall at the far end is decorated with chained up corpses, defiled with
cables, broken tech, and scrap metal.

The center of the room is a large console with a head in the center. Cables emerge from the
head’s eye sockets and lead upwards into the ceiling. A large red button at one side of the
console wakes up the head. The head belongs to a Galvan Helbridge, an (ex) SecOp who was
originally sent to retrieve the Cargo.

He has access to security cameras around the lair, and can give info on the location of cultists
in between the bouts of screaming.

D: Sloped Corridor
A claustrophobic, sloped, corridor that leads down at an uncomfortably steep angle.
D2 Blighthusks lurk in the shadows.
