  1. The sensor head stopped suddenly and a text box lined
  2. in crimson appeared on the display. Anomaly Detected, read the warning.
  3. Jensen shot a look at Pritchard. The hacker had his full attention still on
  4. Stacks, wary for any possible burst of fresh violence.

  6. There was something wrong with Jensen’s right cyberarm. He lay it
  7. across his lap and triggered the nerve-pulse sequence that opened up the
  8. scuffed polycarbonate sheath. Revealed below were alloy bones of spun
  9. metals made in zero-gravity factories, surrounded by bunches of coated
  10. myomer muscles and hair-thin digital nerve pathways.
  11.  
  12. And there, where it should not have been, was a foreign object.
  13. Before either of the others could see him do it, Jensen delicately plucked
  14. at a thin wafer of plastic lodged in a myomer cluster, pulling it out between
  15. thumb and forefinger. It was no larger than a microcircuit, but the shape and
  16. design of it told Jensen that it very clearly did not belong. It wasn’t
  17. recognizable as any kind of Sarif-made tech.
  18.  
  19. He turned it over in his palm and without warning the circuit gave off a
  20. weak double pulse of light, like a heartbeat.
  21.  
  22. A tracker? Without thinking, Jensen’s hand closed into a fist and crushed
  23. the tiny device into powder, his thoughts racing as the question of who had
  24. put it there pushed at him.

  26. - Deus Ex: Black Light, Chapter 5 pg. 82
