Something that just came to my mind, concerning prisons and police:

In William Gibsons "Mona Lisa Overdrive" one guy (Slick Henry) had
something in his brain, that would kill his short-time memorys if he got
excited. He got that as a good-bye-present in prison. I think it had a
russian name, but I can't remember (And I don't want to read through the
whole book right now)

Can anyone remember the name? (Hey Gurth, you re-read thr triology a few
month ago, right?)

Anyway, I came up with some stats:

Name <please insert>
cost: 2000Y
essence cost: 0.3

What it does is just the same as the thing from the book: it erases the
short-time memorys.So if someone has a lot of adrenaline in his blood (like
during fights, while decking/rigging or casting non-trivial spells) he
forgets what he did...say for the last two hours (Does anyone know how long
the STM lasts?).

And yeah, if you want to be a real asshole, inject someone with that puppy
some ACTH...:)
