Axiom Systems Cognitive Grenade CG-1 'Brainstorm'

A throwable EMP grenade specifically calibrated to disrupt neural interface frequencies within a 10-meter radius. Unlike conventional EMP grenades that affect all electronics indiscriminately, the CG-1 uses a tuned resonance frequency that primarily affects neural implant architectures, causing a cascade of sensory hallucinations, memory buffer corruption, and temporary loss of executive function in augmented targets. Unaugmented individuals experience only mild disorientation. Axiom developed it for counter-intrusion scenarios where augmented attackers need to be neutralized without damaging facility electronics.

story hooks

CG-1 grenades are being used in muggings targeting augmented individuals — victims wake up with corrupted memories and missing cyberware, unable to identify their attackers.
A modified CG-1 has been developed that permanently corrupts a specific memory address in Axiom neural interfaces — it erases the target's ability to recognize a particular face.

physical description

visual profile	A sleek, ovoid grenade with a distinctly medical aesthetic—more laboratory instrument than military ordnance. The form suggests precision engineering rather than crude lethality. Subtle curves and a slightly flattened top give it an almost clinical appearance, like something that belongs in a research facility as much as a tactical loadout.
dimensions	9.5 cm length × 6.2 cm width × 6.8 cm height. Compact enough to palm, dense enough to throw with accuracy.
weight description	Deceptively hefty for its size—0.25 kg of concentrated capacitor and resonance matrix. Sits heavy in the hand with a satisfying, purposeful balance. Not light, but never unwieldy.
primary material	Aerospace-grade polymer composite shell with embedded conductive lattice. The interior houses a single-use neural-resonance capacitor array.
finish	Matte charcoal with a subtle iridescent sheen across the top hemisphere—the finish shifts faintly under angled light, hinting at the electromagnetic fields contained within. The sheen is functional, not decorative: it dissipates residual charge.
color scheme	Deep charcoal gray primary with accent striping in electric cyan along the pressure-release seams. Minimalist, corporate, clinical.
grip texture	Smooth, slightly textured polymer with microscopic grip ridges. Cool to the touch. The surface has a faint waxy feel—designed to slip easily from the hand during throw without catching.
distinctive features	Recessed pressure-pin assembly with a small pull-tab marked with Axiom's Φ-symbol logo Faint LED indicator band circling the equator—dark until armed, then pulses soft cyan every 0.5 seconds during the 2-second fuse delay Micro-venting ports across the lower hemisphere—barely visible, designed to bleed harmonic frequencies in a controlled pattern Engraved warning text in three languages around the upper hemisphere: 'NEURAL RESONANCE DEVICE—AUGMENTED PERSONNEL HAZARD' Serial number etched in a small rectangular panel on the side: AXIOM-CG-1-[batch code] A hairline fracture pattern visible under close inspection—intentional stress-relief grooves to ensure controlled fragmentation during capacitor discharge
manufacturer markings	AXIOM SYSTEMS logo (a stylized neural network pattern) stamped prominently on the top. Smaller regulatory stamps on the side panel. Batch date and calibration frequency printed in minute text along one seam.
condition typical	Field units show subtle wear: tiny impact scuffs on the polymer, slight discoloration where hands grip repeatedly, occasional fingerprint oil residue. Never truly battle-scarred—these grenades are too expensive and too specialized for frontline waste. Typically stored in padded tactical containers, so they arrive in near-pristine condition.

Product photography of the Axiom Systems Cognitive Grenade CG-1 'Brainstorm'—a sleek, ovoid EMP grenade with matte charcoal finish and electric cyan accent striping. Photograph the grenade resting on a dark glass surface, positioned at three-quarter angle. Dramatic side-lighting from the left casts soft shadows across the smooth polymer hull. The subtle iridescent sheen catches the light, revealing hints of the electromagnetic lattice beneath. Include a gloved hand (augmented with faint cybernetic wrist interface visible) gently cradling or reaching toward the device. The background is deep matte black with a faint grid overlay suggesting a sterile research or armory environment. Detail the recessed pressure-pin assembly, the faint venting ports, and the engraved warning text. Include the cyan LED indicator band. Neo-noir urban aesthetic: clinical, corporate, precise. High-tech, low-threat presentation. Professional product photography. --ar 3:2 --v 6
