She had burned out Evelyn's Cyberbrain without completely reducing her to a vegetable.
To be precise, Evelyn could still perceive the world around her.
She simply couldn't move or speak anymore.
That was exactly what Brigitte had intended.
With the relic's whereabouts unknown, the Voodoo Boys' grand plan had gone from being within reach to a distant prospect.
