Mechanic Custom Rig Flashlight

[Ubu]

Wondering if someone has run into this before. I’m playing and Android Mechanic who uses drones. On page 69 it says “Your custom rig can be configured to take an upgrade slot on your Armor...” and since he is an Android I installed the upgrade on him. Since the custom rig can operate as a Mk I comm unit which includes a flashlight, does this mean he can use a flashlight without requiring a hand to hold it?

It’s not really an issue for him due to racial vision, but we have a couple humans in the party who do not have that benefit.

I mean, you can put the custom rig into your head or arm too and still use all of the capabilities. I would expect you can use the flashlight without a free hand, but I don't know that there is anything explicit in the book so you may need to make a judgement call for your game.

I don't see any real reason to disallow this, since there's nothing stopping a character from just duct taping a flashlight to their shoulder or head anyway. I've been assuming most armours/clothes come with a little pocket on the chest to hold a comm unit so you can hands free the flashlight.
