Kinda interested in knowing this too.  Although we were playing it 
where you got Ps at the end of a the session but could not use any of 
those until the end of a scene.  Usually there would not be any given 
by the GM at that point only card awards.

Well I know what KJ will say.  "There is no such thing as cyborgs 
anymore." :)  Since he wrote most if not all of the Torg RE 
book.  Which BTW I was able to re download the book.  I have four 
more remaining.  Thanks KJ.

But as for your question I believe that the dragon or cyborg are ok 
until a 1 is rolled.  If either is an NPC or a GM plot device then 
there should be some discretion from the GM.  But if a cyborg still 
exists in your game then I believe that it probably would shut down 
until it reconnects.  As for the dragon I don't remember if it needs 
a certain magic level to live or not like a TK demon.  Or it could 
lose some of its abilities like a giant until it reconnects.

I cant be too sure of these things as my books are at a friends.  Who 
I was holding game sessions with until he got a different shift at 
work .  Thanks for the reminder.  I need to go and get my books.
