ASSET DECOMMISSION ORDER: "GLITCH"
TARGET: Asset "Glitch" (Formerly Dr. Alistair Finch, Anansi-Division).
LAST KNOWN LOCATION: Ad-hoc data havens, Brooklyn Grid.
STATUS: Rogue. Hostile. Memetic Hazard.
DESCRIPTION: Asset has undergone unsanctioned symbiosis with the network. Manifests as a humanoid figure composed of corrupted data and flickering light. Exhibits a localized reality-bleed effect; witnesses report the smell of burnt data and the sound of dial-up modems. Can de-compile into pure information to traverse secure networks.
Asset has been observed 'speaking' to infrastructure, causing traffic lights to display binary code and ATMs to dispense shredded financial records. Do not attempt direct communication; vocalizations are a confirmed memetic payload that induces severe cognitive dissonance.
OBJECTIVE: Decommission with extreme prejudice. Bonus offered for recovery of the asset's original cognitive framework, if salvageable. All other data-ghosts are to be purged. This is a cleanup operation. No witnesses.
-- Pulled from a fire-walled LVP-NY server. This contract is non-negotiable.
