Nope, I've been retracing the references (and do they jump) from
Shadowtech and it is for any modification to the nervous system. Now on
the other hand I wasn't completely right either in that it's not just a
one shot but it is close to it. Removing it does harm the patient but
unfortunately they left that up to the GM. B>P# Bad move FASA.
For the record Karl Wu, who wrote Shadowtech, was a doctor or
studying to be one when he wrote it.

Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal names
more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves, they
answered to another name, because if another discovered their real name,
it could be used against them.
History repeats itself.
