[quote=@Bork Lazer] Alternatively, they do have access to it but their manufacturer instilled a fluctuating quantum lock within them so that every file requires a specific input. For example, their encyclopediac knowledge on Golaang the Bronze King of Calcul could only be unlocked by performing a specific sacrificial ritual involving performance of an ancient Titan play, open surgery of a mycomorph and with all partcipants performing a one-armed handstand. Or you could just have parts of their memory lost. Either way works fine. [/quote] The former sounds tempting, very tempting indeed. No, seriously, as long as you - the GM - control the conditions of those inputs instead of myself, then we have a set of character goal [i]and[/i] story arc right there, a scavenger Synth who wants to unlock all of their memories and discover their purpose of life. "What is my purpose?" but on steroids.
