Lier had infiltrated the Biotechnology Tower and obtained a great deal of data, including the manufacturing methods for Painkiller and the Alpha Neuro-Relief.
The reason was that the entire Project Nightingale had actually been built around Painkiller's side effects, while the Alpha Neuro-Relief was essentially Painkiller soaked in an Extended-Release Agent.
The Extended-Release Agent prolonged the release of Painkiller's effects, reduced its intensity, and extended the time it remained effective.
The two drugs had highly overlapping active ingredients, and the pharmacological process by which they caused neurodegenerative deterioration was also documented in the experimental data. That was why the database contained the manufacturing method for this drug.
Meanwhile, pharmaceutical equipment was strictly regulated in the Cyberpunk world. If you wanted to buy it, you had to register a company, and registering a company meant you basically had to accept hostility from other companies or let them buy a stake.
If you refused to register or accept investment, fine. The other companies would simply wage a hardcore business war against you, and the next day the supercorporations' tanks and Combat Robots would be at your company's doorstep.
Registering patents brought plenty of things beyond your control, too.
In other words, in the Cyberpunk world, if you were an ordinary person, you would know nothing and could only do some high-risk jobs to
