Skylark Fail-Safe

The Skylark Fail-Safe is a fail-safe measure put in place in the case of Fragmentation Spikes that could cause severe damage to world-wide data as well as anyone or anything in the range of any devices which the Artificial Personality is given control of or access to.

Composition
The device is composed of two principle parts: the Spike-detection hardware and the Electro-Magnetic-Pulse emitter or 'EMP Grenade," as it's often referred to. The device's purpose is to detect Fragmentation Spikes and if they are detected, to render the SNN inert. This is accomplished by an  EMP burst that is powerful enough to destroy the circuity in the Synthetic Neural Network.

Development
The Skylark Fail-Safe was developed by Dr. Rosanna Hawkrite on orders from the United Nations Security Council after the apparent damage a device this far-reaching could cause. The device was planned, prototyped and implemented in one month.

Usage
The Skylark Fail-Safe has been used three times over the course of its existence:
 * Skylark
 * Tracer
 * Luther
