The conversation with Edward played over and over again in her head. There was no one at Batten Industries that could handle this type of procedure. Fair enough, she couldn't very well operate on herself. Still she had to find a skilled surgeon.

She did have one viable resource to approach. If they did not have anyone with the specialty she needed, they would know who to approach. If not, she could fall back to some old contacts in the Sprawl. The former was more palatable than the latter, truth be told.

She so worked from home and sent off an e-mail to Dr. Valkonan.

RE: Surgical Consult

Dr Valkonan,

I am writing to inquire as to the possibility of a surgical consult for myself as the patient. I am requiring the services of someone that is knowledgeable in Bio-ware and cybernetic implants.

If you could point me in the proper direction, I would greatly appreciate it.

Regards; Dr Raye Ibaraki
