Some of the world's most noble scientific achievements have also produced some of the world's most devastating results. One such Advance was the Neural Interface. Originally intended to facilitate the communication and operating machinery, this revolutionary technology also spawned the Cyber Ninja. In 2105 Jenni Ozawa-Matsushita, a brilliant programmer, received an NI implant to help her overcome nerve damage from a cybercycle accident. Not only was Jenni cured, she was also somewhat improved. By modifying her NI, she transformed herself into a Cyber Ninja: a stealthy super hacker. Eventually she cultivated a following. Cyber Ninjas had little allegiance to anyone and total disregard for the rules of etiquette. Instead, the thrill of breaking the rules often motivated these mercenaries more than money.
