She just wants to control her own life, but how can she do that when the arm's artificial intelligence makes her sleepwalk? Then children of the company's employees start dying in their beds, and thanks to her sleepwalking, Lena doesn't have an alibi for the murders. So when a car accident lands her with CyberCorp's first cybernetic arm, she's pissed.
