The simple answer is that they are SOL.  Looking at my copy of
Infinite Worlds (4E)....
'In this Quantum 3 world, although it is a no-mana alternate, no
technology higher than "simple mechanics" works.'

So basically they have a inert metal bits stuck into sensitive areas
of the brain.  A kind GM would probably say they just create a
continual headache.  A more mean-spirited GM would say they take
damage equivalent to a gunshot to the head.

I would have each character with implants make a HT roll with a
modifier based on what percentage of the body has been modded.  HT-1
for minimal implants (less than 10% body mass).  HT-5 for minor
implants (10% to 50%).... HT-10 for major implants (more than 50%).

Or you could just go with percent/10 (round up) as a negative mod to HT.

You fail the HT roll, you die.  Its harsh, but so is taking cybered
characters into a hazardous environment.
