Data Cores contain recoverable fragments of the reactor's state. Under Protocol: Infinitum an Operator collects a quota of them to unlock each floor's exit. During the armed response they lie in the halls and are recovered from calibrated Transmit Nodes and the Black Annex's Escape Node.
They are banked when an operative extracts. A lost projection banks half: the T-Link carries part of the telemetry out as the link drops. Departments such as Medical and Engineering issue requisitions against them between projections.
