Seeking help: GURPSifying some odd ideas

Some of that sounds like standard virtual reality, but handwaved as superscience genetically engineered implants. They could be mostly biological with a small chip for radio transmission and receiving. Your imaginary friend could be an AI running on a Google Glass type of device. In biotech land, it could be a creature that clings to side of your head with a radio chip to communicate or with an interface to a heads-up display.

Engineering tiny camouflaged people sounds ethically dubious. They need to be smart enough to understand your commands, but not be a subservient slave race. Unless you’re going for that, I suppose. If they rebel, it will be awful trying to find these tiny, chameleon-skinned partizans. The challenge there is getting something the size of a mouse to be that smart. A bigger brain does not automatically make a creature smarter, but there does seem to be a minimum size of brain required for complex understanding.
