That's not Paranoia though, it's the artifact's own way of imprisonment. If set down or dropped it deactivates and that's not what it wants. It controls the victim by basically sweating out a substance that is absorbed into the victim's body VIA the skin, then travels through the central nerves to the brain convincing the victim that setting the chip down is a bad idea.
