Red Lenses

Effect

Image
Description	Your eyes have taken on some of the red metal's sheen. Some would think it's merely disturbing or write it off as designer cybereyes, but you know the change is deeper than a bit of cosmetic surgery. They've shown you a bit of the pattern behind things… the gentle touch of fire, the harsh breath of toxins in the air. You can probably use that knowledge to save your own hide. But you feel, or rather you know, you can build something grander.
