Also known as counter-contraband for short. Referred to as the counter-contraband corner in an awful 'hip' campaign thirty years ago and now almost no one calls it counter-contraband.
The Authorities say:I'm glad you're here, friend. If you've found anything suspicious, would you mind turning it in? I could trade you some helpful trinkets I've found over time, or maybe point you to useful rumors we've heard?
Out of character note: You will not be in any form of trouble if you do not turn your contraband in here, Authorities or not! It is entirely a character and gameplay choice whether you choose to shop at the Contraband Enforcement Station or Black Market, and NPCs will not be angry at you. You may get some NPC reactions during Karma seasons, but you're still free to play the game how you want!
You do not need to own a Streetwise Ixi to craft or shop here, but be aware that the following items used in the trades here will only appear to Streetwise Rixixi (or via using an NPC with the ability Streetwise Companion in a relevant activity roll):
(Unrefined Liquid Diamond, Death's Dust, B-NOMALY Greymatter Sample, Philosophic Mercury, Inert Parasite, Mymber Heart, Sxriix'n Silvervine)

*While Crafting does not have to be tied to any Ixi, we do ask that you don't double dip one crafting entry across multiple Ixi. Luckily, this can be any type of crafting - Generic Crafting, Kitchen use, Witchin' Kitchen, even the Black Market.
The same Crafting comment cannot be turned in for both "Crafting anything" (Scientist) and "Crafting Temporary Condition cures" (Medic).
The Authorities say:Since you've helped us out, we can surely trade with you to help your studies. We can even allow you access to materials that are typically restricted.

The Guard Dog chip grants a combat skill tree:
HELLO:
You feel a pull.
All Chasm explorations, hunts, and single-player combat with Chasm denizens have their loot doubled. 25% of all explorations and hunts done by this Mechanix may randomly end up in the Chasm/with Chasm prey.
When in companion mode, equips the following to the Companion form: Chip: HELLO: 25% chance of rolling the Rixixi Companion as Chasmhome.
Glitch?:
It's a dusty chip in the back of a box you found. It doesn't seem to do anything, though?

Biomechanix:
Derived from code found in the Manticore Ring's booths - code originally designed to monitor specimens as they fused.
Fuses the Ixi and their Mechanix together into an alternate form (typically some sort of Ixi with machine parts) - when appearing in this form in activities and story modes, this form can count as both the Ixi and the Mechanix.
When in companion mode, equips the following to the Companion form: Chip: Biomechanix: Fuses the Ixi and their Mechanix together into an alternate form (typically some sort of Ixi with machine parts) - when appearing in this form in activities and story modes, this form can count as both the Ixi and the Mechanix. This companion skill is equipped even if a different companion skill is chosen (to make sure both the Ixi and Mechanix are listed as able to fuse) and is technically the only way for a Mechanix to have two active companion skills.
*A note: A base does not have to be used for the alternate form, it can be drawn off-base.
Optional bases: Standard | Primal | Domestic SOON
Ghost:
Please stop touching the haunted chip. Please. This can only end strangely.
Ghost Mechanix have an unusual, supernatural glitch in their system, and so they set off the same sort of reactions that entities would have when seeing a Ghost Rixixi. Ghost Mechanix count as Ghosts in any situations where this would alter dialogue. Ghost Mechanix also have translucent skins - markings can appear on them, they're just transparent and show the robot base underneath. Ghost Mechanix do not have any restrictions "breeding" with other Mechanix, however.
When in companion mode, equips the following to the Companion form: Chip: Ghost: The Rixixi with this companion will count as a Ghost in any situations where this would alter dialogue - this does not add the +Ghost gene, the Rixixi is essentially able to see ghosts and is respected by ghosts!
A Ghost Mechanix's translucent skin.
You can also get a Guard Base for 40 Points!
