Mindspikes are appendage-like[1] implants[2] produced by Mindsci made for accessing human memories and used for breaking into corrucysts by the FBX. They are able to produce renderable output, establish communication with thoughtforms, translate the obesk language, and log entities encountered. Prolonged Mindspike usage seems to cause personality changes in users[3].
The Mindspike industry was directly inspired by obesk groundsmindry[4].
Framing Device
Framing Devices are third-party utilities that can manipulate what the Mindspike processes in order to access previously blocked memories.[5]
GAD
The GAD, also known as the global ambient dissonance, is a fluctuating value that effects Mindspike technology by causing deviations in usually stable renderings. Moth recalls the story of the discovery of the GAD in which a fjortoft box running a constant and consistent signal would have the same changes that affected all Mindspikes, despite not being directly connected. There are various theories of whether this is because of the Earth or the Dull's electromagnetic interference.
The GAD can be viewed on the top right of the system management menu. Its value is based on the GCP dot. When the GAD is low in coherence, the cyst will subtly change. These changes can be seen as minor visual differences to gaps previously closed now being accessible. The Interloper can equip the Hunger Mask to simulate low value GAD on demand.
Masks
Masks are a third-party utility that can alter thought spaces. They are unlocked by first meeting the Council in Jokzi Ozo.
Operating System
Tonga was the first developed operating system for Mindspike technology. Although antiquated, it is currently being used by the Interloper, because they never update theirs, and the latest update to it caused havoc for its users, to the point that Moth describes it as "that big disaster update" and says that they "can't even imagine what Mindsci was thinking". It can handle higher incoherency than what is typically allowed if entered from slightly incoherent places, because it relies on the brain of the user for functionality, including detection of incoherency. This reliance, however, caused an early scandal named "memory pulling", in which memory sources were removed mid-use, resulting in the user suffering from hallucinations and hampered temporal perception ("chronos misalignment").
It is unknown how many different operating systems there have been, but the number is more than three.
Protective gear
FBX Mindspike contractors have to be wearing protective gear when interacting with corru technology per safety protocol[6]. It is known that the protective suit is thick[7], includes a removable faceplate[8] and at least one blue light on the head part of the gear[9]. The suit is required to guard against cyst explosions[10], aggressive corru lifeforms and cyst radiation[11].
