Warning to anyone out there who relies on their cyberware. Recently my team and I went in for cyber upgrades. As we were leaving we were infected with specially tailored nanites (for those of you who sling the lingo, don't complain if the tech-speak's wrong. I'm repeating what I was told) that caused our 'ware to initially malfunction, and would have finally deteriorated and detached had we not been able to hunt down the doctor who developed the nanites and... convince him to give us the antidote.

Unfortunately the doctor, one Dr. Bartell McMillian, escaped. We burned out his lab, all hardcopy notes and shredded his matrix files, but the doctor is still alive. He is, unless plastic surgery gets to him, a short heavy middle aged man, European heritage. His home is in Iceland, the capital, but I'm not gonna attempt to spell it, but we burned it out. There we also found evidence that McMillian has in his employ at least one toxic shaman.

This guy is extremely dangerous, and can be expected to try and recreate his cyberware killing formula. If any of you out there catch wind of him, do all us cyber-typed a favor and give him a .44 caliber migraine.

On the brighter side, the antidote formula, copied from McMillian's notes was sent to the notorious shadowdoc Soriyama. If you should find your cyberware shutting off and turning back on, or locking up, or suddenly activating without you wanting it to, I would suggest trying to track either of the two doctors down.
