Often this sort of memory would be held in an artificial memory implant, or accessed in some other less intrusive way. But some, or many, nearbaselines could be modified biologically so that they could retain memories using hyperthymesia, thus reducing their reliance on external memory stores. By the Current Era (10,000 AT) most artificial implants would be so well integrated that this sort of dichotomy wouldn't normally arise.
