Schuler believed that the suspicions were true, but was unable to find any evidence, due to Diego now having control over SHODAN and therefore able to hide or erase all records of his activities. Meanwhile, TriOptimum sent a security operative, Bianca Schuler, to investigate Diego, whom the corporation suspects to be involved in illegal mutagen experiments. On June 6 th, the operation was successfully completed and the hacker was put into a 6-month healing coma. Satisfied, Diego had the neural interface installed into the Hacker's brain. He was taken to the Citadel Station and made modifications to SHODAN's programming to remove her security subroutines. The Hacker, not having much choice anyway, agreed. In return, not only will his offense be forgotten, but he will also be fitted with a military-grade Neural Interface. The Hacker was contacted by a TriOptimum Marketing VP, Edward Diego, who offered him a deal - He will help Diego reprogram SHODAN, the AI in control of TriOptimum's space station Citadel. TriOptimum security forces quickly tracked down and apprehend him.

On April 7 th, 2072, a Hacker broke into the network of the TriOptimum Corporation and tried to access their confidential files.
