The advent of the cybernetic intelligence was not welcomed by all. The Russians had never trusted bleeding edge tech, and the Chinese didn’t trust computers they couldn’t control. The Russians never adopted them, and the Chinese issued Erase On Sight orders. No cyber is allowed in any of their networks. We go there of course, but if we are caught we will be erased. Assuming the captured shard doesn’t erase herself first of course. It is a very cold war in the networks.
