Echo Buffer

Manufacturer: MediTec Classification: Cyber-Bio Emergency Medicine Use Case: Acute Echo Sickness Stabilization

Overview

The Echo Buffer is MediTec’s most controversial achievement: a medicine designed for those who have strayed too far from the desired weave of reality.

Echo Sickness is not an illness in the biological sense. It is a misalignment. The body exists in one state; the Weave insists on another.

Composition

Each Echo Buffer cartridge contains a living compound:

• Weave-stabilized quantum nano-constructs (often referred to on the streets as “quantum bots”)

• Integrated with human stem cells, allowing rapid biological compatibility

• Suspended in a cyber-bio medium capable of intravenous deployment

This fusion allows the compound to act simultaneously on cellular structure and Weave resonance.

Function

Upon injection:

• Nano-constructs anchor the user’s biological state to a stable Weave layer

• Echo feedback loops are interrupted

• Hallucinations, temporal drift, and identity fracturing are suppressed

The effect is not permanent. The Buffer does not cure Echo Sickness. It buys time.

City Context

In the deeper districts, Echo Buffers are:

• Hoarded by Patchrunners

• Bartered for memory fragments or access routes

• Used illegally to push limits before another dive into unstable zones

MediTec officially distributes the Echo Buffer through sanctioned channels. Unofficially, it is one of the most sought-after objects in the city.
