==Illicit Connections==
*Due to the nature of their products, Cognivia often comes under public scrutiny.
*Moreover, their products are often enhanced or altered by illicit drug labs in the city.
*Often, the goal of this sort of drug tailoring is to remove the traces which might be observed by a [http://www.diagnosticautomation.com/rapidtest.htm drug test].
*This is especially useful to participants of the [[PCAG]], who are not allowed to take any enhancements prior to gameplay.
*Whenever the [[PXCPD]] Coroner's Office find a new molecule or compound that people are taking or selling, it is identified and documented on their systems
