Default Re: Building Trauma Team using GURPS ULTRATECH

How does the Trauma Team know when and where to find you?

If you have an attached bio-monitor with a beacon of some kind, it stands to reason that the moment your bio-monitor notes a death state or severe injury state, that it will call for the Trauma Team. But the interesting aspect of this are:

1) if your radio signal can't reach a Trauma Team receiver, it is worthless (such as being in an area that kills or hampers the range of radio broadcasts, much like cell service can be unavailable in a deep garage.

2) your signal has to have a GPS component to it.

3) it has to be relatively tamper proof.

Step #3 shows up as having been bypassed in CP2077 the video game, as a scavanger attempts to pry cybernetic parts from its now unconscious owner.

What are the other implications of this kind of service? It seems for instance, that restricted Air space and emergency protocols of Trauma Team might very well conflict with each other from time to time. What would be the final protocol in such a conflict? Would the desire for universal availability for Platinum Holders override restricted Air space protocols? Just thinking.
