- The sensor head stopped suddenly and a text box lined
- in crimson appeared on the display. Anomaly Detected, read the warning.
- Jensen shot a look at Pritchard. The hacker had his full attention still on
- Stacks, wary for any possible burst of fresh violence.
- There was something wrong with Jensen’s right cyberarm. He lay it
- across his lap and triggered the nerve-pulse sequence that opened up the
- scuffed polycarbonate sheath. Revealed below were alloy bones of spun
- metals made in zero-gravity factories, surrounded by bunches of coated
- myomer muscles and hair-thin digital nerve pathways.
- And there, where it should not have been, was a foreign object.
- Before either of the others could see him do it, Jensen delicately plucked
- at a thin wafer of plastic lodged in a myomer cluster, pulling it out between
- thumb and forefinger. It was no larger than a microcircuit, but the shape and
- design of it told Jensen that it very clearly did not belong. It wasn’t
- recognizable as any kind of Sarif-made tech.
- He turned it over in his palm and without warning the circuit gave off a
- weak double pulse of light, like a heartbeat.
- A tracker? Without thinking, Jensen’s hand closed into a fist and crushed
- the tiny device into powder, his thoughts racing as the question of who had
- put it there pushed at him.
