Urban legend suggests that the Penance Configuration was created by a secret order of monks hoping to penetrate the GodNet and communicate directly with God. The chip itself is small, cross-shaped, and blue, with faintly glowing red circuits. Most computers and cyberdecks require modification before the chip can be installed.
Any device with the Penance Configuration chip installed is immune to the GodNet’s influence. Anyone carrying or using the device counts as being within a Cyberpapacy Dominant Zone.
The chip’s may be used to enhance any Mind or Mind-based skills.
