In Santo domingo, Ludacris copperfield. At the age of 12 years old, he was deformed and paralyzed waste down, he was getting cybernetic implants to cure the illness. His ripperdoc Leonardo Perez, is implanting a second heart, titanium bone implants with shock absorbers, a cerebral cortex implant, a synthetic spine, And optical implants. With face reformation. In order to connect some components, Leonardo implanted copper wire into the skull to keep it nice and snug, that way they can splice the brain's nerves and the wires of the implant. These wires were smaller than the thread of a hair, connecting the nerves. He wasn't able to speak nor walk on his own. Now after the procedure he walks, talks, and has the average IQ of an arasaka student.
As Ludacris woke up, his new eyes adjusted to the light, and the smell of cigarette smoke filled his nose. "Where am I"? Ludacris said. "you are at my shop," Leonardo Perez said, "we completed your procedure and you're now cured of your illness." When Leo said that he froze. "Wait, you can understand me?! My body, it doesn't hurt anymore"! his mother came in and Ludacris immediately leaped out of his seat and ran towards her. "Mom Im cured"! he said as he nearly fell down. But the implants immediately caught him. "It's like, idk. Ive always had an idea how to walk, but it feels a little weird. Like I've always known how to walk". Leonardo then explains why, " they put an AI in there that feeds you information, they preprogrammed the AI to know the basic walk of a six year old, but it will learn as you learn". Happy that Ludacris was now cured, she hugged him tightly, and called him "Chris", which she has never done before. This made Chris cry in happiness, as he finally got what he had always wanted, for his mother to love him. 10 years later, after his mother passed away due to safety violations at miletech, before she died, Chris and her mom weren't close in the least. In fact she hated Chris and started calling him "Ludacris" again. This was because of the contract she agreed to and signed. She now has to pay off the implants the company gave her son, but the insurance provided by militech only paid for the frontal cortex. She is in debt and if she ever dies Ludacris becomes the property of militech. his mother signed a contract that these specific cyberwere was to be implanted into Ludacris, with the reward being, she would land high paying job at miletech. But the catch is, if she ever dies or goes missing, miletech would get custody over her kid. She would always be paranoid she would get killed by a militech agent one day. Ludacris now works for militech in the present, he works as a physical laborer, his job is loading shipments to be transported. He now lives in Heywood. It's morning in night city. Ludacris wakes up, immediately getting ready for work.
Outside, he gets in the car and drives off. He passed a shooting in the alley by Williams management service. After passing plams view way, a crash happens in the three-way
intersection, forcing him to take a right. And took a left into the market. Ludacris always takes a sec to read the words on the bridge on Madison, LA HUESUNA. He can never figure out what it means. After a few minutes he makes it to work, in front of the militech building in the corporate plaza. During his shift, they have him load up a shipment of military equipment. He then hopped in the car in front of the bus and guided it to dogtown. As they pass through Pacific blvd in Pacifica Dogtown, a giant robot comes crashing out of no where. In front of the car. Ludacris quickly stops the car, not giving the truck behind him enough time to stop, causing a collision. When Ludacris comes to his senses, he looks behind him making sure the truck didn't crash. Suddenly his system warns him of an unauthorized scan, followed by an ice warning that shut his system down, turned on emergency operator that deleted everything from his system including the ice software. As he slowly lost consciousness, he heard maxtac. "Capture the target!" One said. They sound like their vocal cords have been replaced with loud speakers. He then passed out. Miletech came and picked up the shipment, but left everyone who was caught off in the cross fire. Trauma team came and only picked up with those with a subscription. As they scanned Ludacris, it showed he had a subscription. As they started picking him up, the subscription was cancelled. The trauma team immediately dropped him, the leader walked way as he said, "leave the borg to the dump".
His new ripperdoc, Rafael Perez who was close to the border of Dogtown heard what happened. And new what Ludacris did for a living. Worried he headed over to the location where street peeps were raiding his body. Luckily he got there just in time. Raphael knows just enough of netrunning to quickhack, the streep peeps, paralyzing them by turning off their cybernetic limbs. Rafael brought Ludacris to his shop where X-ray scans showed his brain implants has been sealed onto his brain, making it impossible to remove. He then grabbed the extra copy of Ludacris's software and uploaded it into Ludacris operating system. In the middle of the upload, an error popped up. "ERROR PROTECTIVE SOFTWARE HAS BEEN COMPRAMISED AND CAN NO LONGER PROTECT THE USER". when Rafael saw this, he contemplated shooting Ludacris right then and there as an act of mercy. But decided to let the upload finish as he didn't have the heart to. Rafael then sits down on his chair in despair, remembering how close Chris's mother was to Leonardo before she was pushed to the edge.
