David completes Faraday’s assignment by killing an Arasaka laboratory director, but his deteriorating mental state becomes impossible to ignore. During the operation, he hallucinates and shoots an innocent employee who discovers him, then recognizes that she has a young son. The death reminds him of Gloria and leaves him shaken. Arasaka interprets the pattern of attacks on its personnel as a Militech operation and sends assassins after Faraday. He survives, but Militech withdraws its protection because he has failed to obtain Tanaka’s information about the cyberskeleton project. Seeking a new route to power, Faraday contacts Arasaka and offers to identify the netrunner who erased the relevant data and killed its investigators. Rebecca and Lucy separately urge David to reduce his cyberware, while Doc warns that his symptoms point toward cyberpsychosis. David rejects the warnings and lashes out at Doc, insisting that he can continue because he is special. His relationship with Lucy strains as she asks him to step away from the crew and he asks her to return. Lucy then detects another Arasaka investigator and goes after him alone, only to be trapped and captured by Faraday with Kiwi’s assistance.
