Toolpacks

Every Wyrm whose work requires fine manipulation is equipped with a toolpack. The standard light-work toolpack consists of a standard shell, with four mount points, multiple storage compartments, an interface computer, and a neural interface plug.

The plug is the center of the toolpack technology. This plug fits into a socket implanted in the Wyrm's neck, and allows the Wyrm to directly control the toolpack via its interface computer.

A wide array of attachments is available for the toolpacks. Anything, from robotic arms to rocket launchers, can be fitted onto it. Usually, however, the light-work toolpack is equipped with four lightweight robotic arms, each with a three-fingered claw.

The heavy-work toolpack is much like the light-work toolpack, except that it sports only three much more robust mount points. Various specialty and military packs have been designed for more specific purposes.

Ways have also been developed to allow Wyrms to use the neural interface to fly fighter jets, talk to computers, and drive tanks, with great success.
