A little of both! Basically, from what I'm understanding OOC, the big issue with new arrivals with unregistered implants is the police observation thing, so there's two main ways to go about avoiding that problem: evading police, or preventing the blank implant from being noticed.

So although ICly Lance has mostly switched to pursuing the former solution for now since it's something he's better with and seems more accessible, OOC I was asking about the latter a bit more mostly because although other players might have characters with the IC knowledge to work on solutions, but they may not OOCly know what to ask about or where to start. Therefore I was kind of just looking into some potential angles from a more strictly OOC perspective, to be able to bring up potential solutions that could then actually happen IC (if anyone was interested) by other players with characters that would know what they're doing (which is certainly not Lance, who got a B in college statistics and is still mad about it a decade later.)

I definitely get not wanting to overload people, so no worries, this is all just much more a behind-the-scenes sort of technical curiosity with the goal being coming up with other ways to go with plotting, both on this subject and in general.
