Emerick has found information on Ida:
- She has a highly mutative strain of cancer, but doesn’t let herself be stopped by it.
- She has some connection with a rival CEO, Leon Yates, though he’s unsure how much.
Spyder Bot
- To roll out in 9 months (from late August 2045) → sometime around May or June
- Arasaka funded
- Highly effective against netrunnres
- Now has combat capabilities
It was clear to Emerick in Session 030 that Ida wanted to elaborate on her personal inspiration for the bot, but she held herself back as it was a public address and not an appropriate forum for her to talk about such things. In talking to Ida, Emerick was very complimentary and gracious. He did his best to show a genuine interest in the bot, and lauded her for her technical achievements as well as her general interest in the safety and well-being of the public.
