A week later at the CIT, Franz finished signing the purchase of the university from the different scattered investors, so the CIT officially became the property of Umbrella.

With Franz's signature he guaranteed that he would not have an institute in the future after the bombs and in his place he had a new acquisition in his hands, strong enough to start modifying Cyberpunk's MK2 robots.

One of the reasons why there were no androids in that world was the fall of the network by the rebel AIs, however the Umbrella network was protected by Servants that can be digitalized and who are completely faithful to humanity.

So the AIs cannot try to invade that space, although Franz would not be stupid to send his Servants to the Network behind the black wall of Cyberpunk, he may win but the cost is not worth it.

However if they invade the Umbrella network controlled by BB, even if it is an army they will be completely crushed.

Franz who was eating with the representatives of the corporations, NetWatch and ambassadors of the most important nations drank some wine before looking at everyone seriously.

"I will be brief with you, I gathered you in this place to talk about the problem of the black wall and the old network."

With a signal from his hand, Franz made a girl with purple hair and eyes of the same color appear next to him. She was wearing a beautiful black Umbrella uniform.

"Let me introduce you to BB, the head of cybersecurity of the Umbrella network and a Servat of the throne of heroes.

She, like another large group of Servants, are beings that could be considered virtual lives in every aspect and that brings us to the important point.

I want to sell all of you on the ability to break into the Umbrella network, where you won't have to worry about wild AIs or Netrunners trying to break into your databases.

The cyberspace created by the Umbrella network occupies a custom-made virtual reality matrix so it is always under surveillance. Proof of this is that we have so far captured 5 rogue AIs that tried to enter our network.

No matter how powerful they are, in the spirits of humanity they are just a simple data disk that can be taken without putting anyone at risk.

The Umbrella network is the way to the future and without as much danger as the old network."

When he finished saying those words, everyone in the place felt a series of complicated emotions, but they were momentary since a new stage opened for them.

Saburo Arasaka who occupied the body of his son after placing his own Relic inside him smiled. "You're offering us an opportunity to fix the network downtime, but you can guarantee that your network won't go down because of a crazy person like Rache Bartmoss."

Franz took out a cigar and let BB light it. "The old network as you knew it was never reinforced or planned from the beginning, it was like the wild west.

But the Umbrella Network is created from scratch, so it doesn't matter if a madman, a corporation, a government, or an entire world tries to destroy it, they won't be able to do so since the Umbrella Network is a concept.

One cannot end death or life because they are concepts, the Umbrella network itself is linked to the concept of the throne of heroes.

Which exists because humans exist, so a network outage is not possible, now remember that it will become impossible to enter your own subnet that you make in the Umbrella network from the outside.

However, if you have vulnerabilities in your own subnet, it will be possible to enter from access points or objects linked to the subnet, so you must develop your own defenses, which will depend entirely on you.

I only give them a safe place to settle, the rest is up to them."

After this there was a small debate among everyone present and in just a matter of minutes they agreed to join the Umbrella network, as soon as the cost was met Da Vinci was in charge of fine-tuning the details with everyone.

Although only two companies did not have to pay in a traditional way, the first was Militech who gave all the contracts of their patriotic veterans that they had, reaching a whopping number of almost 100,000 people.

Just like a lot of old equipment that doesn't just take up space in warehouses.

Which would be the base of Umbrella's troops in the future, this because Franz had plans to establish a refuge on one of the worlds where he had coordinates but for this he needed a huge army.

For Arasaka the conditions were a little different as Franz asked for Johnny Silverhand's and Rebecca Becca's constructs, as well as other mercenaries, although he also asked for Adam Smasher as a selfish request of his own.

However, what was valuable was a package of space technologies as well as energy, along with a large amount of weaponry and body modifications.

A few days later in the hive hospital David Martinez woke up...
