[GZG] brainstorming Supertrooper maintenance issues

Higher caloric demands, greater libido 'needs',
abnormal response to 'normal' Tuffleyverse healing
processes (inability to regrow limbs under 'regen'
treatment), rejection of high tech neuro-linked
artificial limbs and/or organs, increased 'personality
disorders', failure to bond/blend into social settings
with 'normals', reduced life spans, and increased
genetic anomalies in vat-time (source of 'necessary
wastage' issues with 'Unnatural Rights' movement.)
