Not foolproof yet, but the silvery metal implant is placed along the back of the neck and runs up toward the base of the skull. Encoding data constantly from the brain via its connection, the implant is ready at all times to provide all data required to recreate the user. So long as the implant is taken to a suitable computing device, it can process the information and, using Dominic's patented energy into matter technology, create a new body for the subject on the spot. Though it does leave the question unanswered as to whether or not it's the same person or an entirely new person created in the image of the person who came before.
You gain the following benefits as long as you are wearing this Artifact.
If you would take an Injury that would kill you, you don’t die. Instead, you survive in an Incapacitated state, though you appear dead to any means of detecting life. Your body leaves behind a token. You remain incapacitated until the following ritual is performed with the token: A cortical stack chip in the implant located at the base of the skull, and it must be uploaded to a computer wherein you are digitally copied.
While Incapacitated, your only weakness is An electrical shock to the cortical stack, and if you take Damage from it, you will die. Damage from other sources will still be dealt and can cause Battle Scars, but will only kill you if your body is destroyed completely.

Once nanobots detect damage to the host, they rush to damaged area of the host, and start assessing and repairing the damage done to the host. There are some complications when the host is electrocuted, however - it causes interference, causing nanobots to ignore the injury. In addition, nanobots can't do much if a major blood vessel is severed, as host bleeds nanobots faster than they can heal the wound. Observers may be concerned by host rapidly recovering from their wounds in a single day.
While the nanobots are capable of self-replication, and they abuse this capability to keep the host healthy, the built-in failsafe ensures that they cease to function once they leave the host - most frequently when hosts receive wounds and start bleeding all over the floor.
Of course, there are some, one might say, unforeseen consequences to nanobots continuosly repairing the damage done to the host. But surely the host won't be wounded too heavily or too frequently for those to kick in, right?
