			All silicon memories are cached to an on-chassis storage medium that's wirelessly backed up every 5 minutes. PosiBrains and MMIs that have been removed from their chassis may not recall the last five minutes unless placed back into the chassis they previously inhabited. Destruction of the chassis results in a total loss of those memories. Further, corruption of a chassis (such as by Syndicate/SELF emag) discontinues the backups, making all memories after the event completely inaccessible unless placed back into the corrupted chassis.

	With the update to Chameleon items allowing them to be locked with a tool or pass phrase, unlocked Chameleon gear is no longer subject to Metashield. Locked Chameleon gear is protected by Metashield however, and may not be brute force unlocked unless you directly witness or are explained Chameleon workings.
