Okay cool. To elaborate, an Async (Lost) murderer is using psi to gain trust, than EMP grenades to disable spimes in the people's personal quarters in the LLA. I am not sure how much privacy the LLA grants its citizens who are well to do enough to afford Splicers and Exalts (actually smuggled Futuras from a defunct Hanto Genetics lab). Then applies Nutcracker to prevent discovery. Mostly the killer is jealously killing and maiming anyone who wears a Futura sleeve. Would this work? With the EMP grenade versus surveillance. Would that cover his tracks digitally?

Aren't spimes uber-tiny? And thus, like nanoswarms, susceptible to EMP blasts unlike really overt bots and cameras and the like? Worse case, Asyncs are creepy bad news and I subscribe to the belief that some Asyncs are more powerful than just level 1 or 2, and that Watts-McLeod is not so benign as the book suggests. So I may just give the killer-async the sleight to disable that level of tech, as the entire async/psi thing is Space-Wizardry. Assuming spimes are shielded as you suggest, Bursting, could the EMP be strong enough to fry the antennae to render them out, preventing further recording, thus reducing their usefulness?

What about those hardened laptops? The books gave me the impression that most tech larger than the tiny bits, including the Swarmoid morph, is shielded so EMP disables tacnets and mesh networks (and maybe Spimes?) but not much more else. Headscratcher.
