Cyborgs dont get any HP reduction when creating anima.

considering the extreme difficulty of getting a cyborg down the ladder

This is extremely easy, just ask any human to get inside the port-a-sci, call it, ask human to go down and call port-a-sci from there.

wait, cyborgs can fit inside the portasci? that doesn't sound right, I don't think they're supposed to be able to fit in lockers

They use lockers when they are rogue. In the airbridge.
