"Information hazards identified. Infectious earworm, non-Euclidean gyration. Dispensing amnestic." — little PAPI
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: A tiny personal droid designed to recognize infohazard exposure and erase it.
- Image Source: PXBR123
- Canon Link: N/A
- Permissions: N/A
- Primary Source: Information hazard
- Manufacturer: Wraghl's Droids and Droid Repair
- Affiliation: Darkwire, closed market
- Market Status: Closed market
- Model: Proactive Amnestic Protection from Infohazards (PAPI)
- Production: Semi-unique
- Modularity: N/A
- Material: Steristeel, scavenged medical droid components
- Classification: First Degree
- Weight: Very Light
- Height: Very Small (think a small can of soda)
- Movement: Quadripedal
- Armaments: N/A, except the emergency measures noted in Strengths/Weaknesses.
- Misc. Equipment: Medication injector
- Infohazard recognition protocols
- Short-term amnestic injector (erases a few seconds of short-term memory)
- Can comfortably ride in a pocket, collar, etc.
- Can recognize whether its owner has been exposed to an infohazard, and inject a short-term amnestic to erase the past few seconds of memory. (Thirty seconds at most.)
- Good at whispering, mumbling, and otherwise keeping a low profile.
- Mnemiotic injection within the hour can undo the amnestic effect if necessary.
- Has no weapons or defenses, though I suppose it could inject all its amnestics, which would chew away at the past few minutes of the target's memory and give the droid a chance to escape.
- Slow-moving.
- Helpless if tipped over.
- The owner may not always find it useful to get the past X seconds of their short-term memory. Not useful at ALL, in some situations. But little PAPI is single-minded about its primary goal: preventing its owner from knowing things that would be dangerous to said owner. Think twice before you bring little PAPI along for the ride.

Wraghl's Droids and Droid Repair build the PAPIs out of salvaged medical droids and scrap steristeel. Jerec immediately found his PAPI to be an indispensable defense against everything from earworms, to that one time someone hacked Manfloon's private photos, to non-Euclidean gyration, to whenever he's reminded about Roko's Basilisk.
