Morgan: I have. And they can do so many different things.
The Psychoscope data I've collected could make Neuromods I would never have been able to so much as guess at.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Morgan: -to Mimi- These things that a company called TranStar made, back before Earth kinda... I'm supposed to say "had an oopsie".
The long and short of it is that when you use one, you give yourself the skill it contains. Want to be good at ballet dancing? Grab the ballet Neuromod and you can go Swan Lake like you've been doing it since you could walk.
-to Kyo- Yeah. The multiverse is a very, very odd place.

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Morgan: No, it's not genetic. A Neuromod directly changes the way your brain is structured. The "skill" it carries is a map of the brain of the individual that has it, and it figures out a way to combine the parts of that brain carrying those skills with your own.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Morgan: -to Kyo- There are certain... pecularities with the process that, under the right and extremely specific set of circumstances, can give somebody control over your life.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Morgan: -to Kyo- It mostly has to do with the fact that since a Neuromod changes how your brain is structured, a Neurectomy to remove it will effectively also remove all of the memories you've formed since you installed it. You'd be an amnesiac.
And if you're in the business of rapidly cycling through Neuromods - testing out different ones that provide different skills - somebody could easily tamper with the data used to bring you back up to speed. Turn a single day into your entire life.

Kyo: Huh, thats odd... Well anything is possible around us, so you never know.
