*Eliminate a dangerous Sleepwalker boss.*
Anome: Don't go patting yourself on the back over that whole mess with the concerts and Sleepwalkers just yet, Othinn. We're getting reports of a powerful Sleepwalker who somehow survived the feedback effect that crashed the rest of them and destroyed those hacked RSIs of theirs. Find this last one and give them a dirt nap before they start causing real trouble again.
Operator: The reports said the Sleepwalker was somewhere in that building. I'm betting they're not going to be in such a great mood.
Ahti: Thought you'd...got us all, didn't you? *cough* I may not have much time left...but I'll be damned if I don't make you pay for your interference before I go!
Ahti: Damn you!
Operator: I'm reading some unusual code on their body. See what they've got.
Operator: Looks like code fragments of some sort. Upload them to me at a hardline. If they're clean, I'll repack them and send them back to you, so make sure you have a couple free spots in your inventory when you go upload them.
Operator: Downloading the frags now...
Anome: Looks like that bastard was carrying a full set of the "Blue Frags" we saw some of the Sleepwalkers carrying at the end of the concerts. Guess it's your lucky day, eh, operative? If those Blue Sky vendors are still around at the concert sites, you can probably cash those babies in with them. If not... Hey, I'll take 'em off your hands. Well, think it over, okay?
Oh, yeah, I'm supposed to tell you that we've identified some of the Sleepwalkers as ex-Cypherites. Seems they found an exploit in the Matrix's code, and figured they'd put it to use pushing the Cypherite agenda to the extreme, draining power from redpills to the point where we'd be forced out of the simulation, killed, or reduced to bluepill status--dependent on the simulation for life. A power backlash fried or permanently disconnected most of 'em when their generators got taken out. I bet their hovercraft are getting pretty ripe by now.
