A small neural reservoir that smooths panic spikes between perception and motion, marketed to pilots, cutters, and people whose work goes wrong quickly. It does not make anyone faster in general; it keeps a trained response from tangling with three competing impulses. Calibration involves startling the patient repeatedly, which is exactly as pleasant as it sounds. The buffer stores reaction traces, and insurers love requesting them after an accident. Meridian schedules follow-up maintenance through the same account, so privacy and warranty coverage become one unpleasant negotiation. A secondhand Reflex Buffer Implant carries the prior owner's calibration ghosts. Meridian charges to erase them, while street installers call the residual twitches a personality feature.
