'Sup guys,

I'm writing a little story, and in the story, the main character has an implant in his head that can turn an entire day into a chapter if he wanted to. Now, here's the kicker: I'm having trouble thinking of what to call the implant. I wanted to give it it's own standardized name like all the other implants. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

When Bon Scott died and he appeared before St. Peter at the gates of Heaven, St. Peter looked at his record and told him he couldn't get in. Just then, God screams at Peter, "Let him in, Karen Carpenter is driving me nuts. I want to hear some music with balls. We'll haggle over the paperwork later." At least I hope that's what happened.

Implant ? Google Glass does this apparently. No surgery needed.

VAR was shorthand for Video and Audio Recorder. and 505 is just a random number.

lore wise this seems like a good choice given that Ishukone was the corp that was given capsule tech by the Jove and the implant in question seems to be pretty powerful.

Oh lord, a Grison! I'd better take my meds and pre-stabilize. Boy Scout motto: Be prepared.

(Alex, aren't you going to write for the current fiction contest? Yes, I'm plugging my alt's contest. But it's for everybody's own good-- 108 PLEX to give away!)

The writers don't seem to be treating this thing much as a competition. It seems like a lot of them are just writing whatever the hell they feel like. The contest is looking like less of a fan fiction competition than an EVE-oriented writing expo. Maybe adding the humor category is what loosened people up. Pretty cool. Here's a link to the stories so far.
