Experimental Neural Interface "Skulljack"
Exotic, Bizarre, Disturbing
Adapted from relics acquired from expeditions within the Machine-Chrysalis, this helm combines intracortical microelectrodes with liquid electrolytic amplifiers for the high signal-to-noise capture of short duration action potential voltages, enabling directed control of a subject. The device also incorporates a high-longevity 64-brontobyte non-volatile recording and storage system.
Warning: reports indicate prolonged information transfer induces first visual hallucinations (akin to "Starry Night" pressure phosphenes), blood-brain barrier leakage and insertion scarring, accompanied by involuntary muscle contraction and unbearable agony.

The cybershock of your rapid skulljack override of Domino is fading - you can feel the memories of this breacher and mercenary operator rapidly interweaving and assimilating with your own.
As you leap out the window towards the cargo exoskeleton, some of the assault tactics and contingency plans of this mercenary team are recalled in your mind.
It occurs to you that outside of the dilapidated shelter of the vertical slum, you would be vulnerable to sniper fire...
(The previous female voice in your ear
>>5392215exclaims in exasperation and surprise)
- 2-Domino! What are you doing?! Confirm target acquisition! The paydata is at your location! Where are you going, get back in there...?!
There are other voices on a separate channel:
- 1-Haukwode to Haukwode Actual. Spike Head pulling Fleshers from the perimeter. Hostile Knife Gangers in the area, possible Modranect. Picking up the pace, all will be done soon. Haukwode out.
-4-Paradox to 5-Scythe... is the Flesher at target site down? What happened? Do you have eyes on it...?
