"Gentlemen, thank you all for coming. I will take questions at the end of the briefing, but just let me first commend your bravery and commitment to the crises we are currently facing in willing to expose yourselves. It shows a character I could not have dared to hope for. The rumors concerning you as glory hounds seeking to murder for pleasure are slander of the lowest sort.
"And, let me also thank you Lt. Walker for willingness to share in confidence with your teammates to the extent of your personal, shall we say, enhancements. Or, perhaps gifted evolutionary traits.But, I digress. Onto the matter at hand.
"Since the collapse of the net some years ago malevolent AI have taken over the "old" Internet and pilfered that vital infrastructure for use as a collectivized space for their continued and diseased existence. Within the confines of that unholy sapience these artificial minds have achieved a level of comprehension bordering on "godlike." Within these connection they have reached out and connected with more real "super egos" and have brought into proximity of Night City's old networks a maligned influence that seeks to enter into our physical world and consume it. To merge it with a foreign, self aware reality. While there are many names for this maligned place, ancient legends regard it as "Carcosa." An ancient and now forever lost city long ago consumed by the very presence I dare not name.
"Within cases you and other C-SWAT teams have handled already signs of cybernetically enhanced persons suffering from exposure to Carcosa have emerged. Leading to situations indistinguishable from cyber psychosis. But, I'm afraid mass murder is only the beginning of what is to come if this isn't stopped here and now. Which, leads to the next topic of conversation. Lt. Walker's unique capabilities, how he acquired these traits, and how they may best be applied to preserving the dimensional stability of the entirety of Night City and surrounding county."
