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 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
