Once installed, they cannot be removed without killing the host and are therefore permanent. Their main use is the storage of data codes, NAV data, and also for receiving telemetry from outside sources. [[AIs]] can access the lace with the owner's consent and retrieve data for use. The owner of the lace can also receive data about the ship they command, sent directly to their retinas courtesy of the shipboard AI. The CNI Transponder of the commanding officer is the only thing with clearance for initiating a vessel's auto destruct. This way, the only way a ship may be destroyed is if its commander authorizes the destruction, or if the commander is dead, their interface may be removed. Although permanent, they can be upgraded for specialized functions.<ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]</ref> | Once installed, they cannot be removed without killing the host and are therefore permanent.
