Haven’t been following this series, but this definately works as it’s own ficly!

wow, i almost forgot the whole plot! I think i remembered some of it…. but not enough to sequel! argh.. time to go back and read.
The Shell in third person, classic!

okay, so I have reread and noted everything. The Distraction field was in the briefcase, and and AI droid () zapped the lady carrying it.. but WHO owned the droid was is MegaCorp just running a test of the equipment and collecting it, or was it Acrylic, capturing the prototype?
Cliffhanger!
