 ===Shinatama's escape===
 [...] Shintama could have uploaded her mind to the Internet with the help of Pensatore. I guess this can continue with [[Shinatama#Hikari|Owldreamer's stuff]].
+==Neural link==
+Vanilla material:
+* 00_01_30 Shinatama: I've checked '''our neural link''' and it's working perfectly!
+* [[Quotes/Consoles/level_2b|level 2b console]]: Engineers attempted to exploit the advantages inherent in the speed of the '''neural link''' by interlocking batteries of free tracking ball mount plasma cannons designed to independently track and fire upon multiple targets simultaneously.
+* [[Quotes/Consoles/level_2a|level 2a console]]: Projections indicated that the reflex response of a direct ''''neural link''' would be as much as twenty times faster than any remote or automated system.
+Obviously a neural link connects neurons to artificial communication channels whereby it translates one signal into another.
+They seem to be successor of [[wikipedia:Neuroprosthetics|neural prostheses]] - models best-known to public [[wikipedia:Cochlear_implant|cochlear (hearing) implants]] and [[wikipedia:Visual_prosthesis|visual prostheses]].
+Conclusion: A neural link - or rather multiple of them - enables a brain to receive and send digital or analog information.
+Such links can be used for:
+- translating phone calls to neuronal sensation patterns and injecting them into the acoustic nerve
+- translating image and video transmission to neuronal sensation patterns and injecting them into the optic nerve
+- collecting visual and auditory patterns
+- collecting weak patterns of muscle memory for speech ("inner voice")
+- collecting weak patterns of muscle memory for gestures and movements ("imagined moves")
+- collecting any other neural pattern (as long as it isn't too complex for analysis such as pain)
+Capturing mental images or even memories is not possible with neural links as the associated brain patterns are too complex for these little devices.
+The TCTF used neural links to monitor Mai.
+The extent of data collection was total.
+* 01_01_02 Shinatama: '''All systems''' nominal. She's doing fine.
+They even collected data about hormone levels.
+* 01_03_06 Shinatama: She won't back down. Her '''adrenals''' have been rising steadily. Too much stress could destabilize her latency.
+Besides neural links Konoko was injected with numerous sensors under her skin. The two-way direction of the information flow was confirmed by the Syndicate and shows that they are very aware of the involved technologies.
+* 06_21_01 Syndicate Henchman: I've been monitoring the woman tracking us as you instructed. Scanners indicate a standard comlink as well as a second set of '''sub dermal transmissions'''. Analysis suggests that she is '''neurolinked''' to an SLD.
+Mai's inherited brain engrams can be seen as Shinatama's source of knowledge. But her choice of words '''include recent events'''. That makes clear she really knows everything about her big sister.
+* 09_31_08 Shinatama: I am an SLD, an android programmed with your brain engrams. I have '''seen everything''' you have seen, '''felt everything''' you have felt. They used me to '''monitor''' the growth of the Chrysalis inside you...
+Tech note for later:
+Neural links can serve as building blocks for a Nürberger Trichter which has been in the past only a joke. It wouldn't be much different from the senseloop of SLDs except that it would inject sensory feeds of refined quality.
