Voice Activated Microbomb: 2 crystals
A microbomb implant that, in addition to activating on user death, can also be set before implantation to activate when the implantee hears or says a specific word or phrase. Also comes in a stealth implanter that gives no message on use.

Holy shit, I would use the heck out of this traitor item. The ability to set it off with a code word would be great, you could play all kinds of mind games with it.

The argument that it's a free kill is sort of moot given the other stealthy options to kill that don't have a chance to backfire horribly (for instance if the target speaks the keyword while you're standing right next to him - though that would just be bad planning).

And having a microbomb implant with a guaranteed way to detonate it before your death (without having to gamble on suicide triggering it) would be well worth the extra TC.
