However, Netwatch tasked an agent to map out the Voodoo Boys data fortresses in Pacifica and shut it down. Ti Neptune discovered NetWatch was in their system but was quickly hit with black ICE and frozen along with Brigitte. The Netwatch agent kept her and Ti in stasis until they were finally awoken after Placide had a mercenary infiltrate the Grand Imperial Mall.

The mercenary was named V, and they later came to the Voodoo Boys hideout after the job was done to confront Brigitte, she revealed her presence to deescalate a confrontation between them and Placide. After discovering the biochip she needed was inside V's head, she decided to bring them along to go through with their plans. She explained the need to contact Alt through using a fragment of the biochip's memory, Alt would recognize Johnny's engram bringing her to them. Brigitte promised to remove the biochip from V afterwards, however had no intention of doing so believing they would die in the process after being used as bait. She entered the Net and unlocked the fragment of the biochip's memory before sending V to go through to the other side of the Blackwall.

Database Entry

 * An alarmingly skilled netrunner and leader of the Voodoo Boys – the gang that rules over Pacifica's Haitian community. Maman Brigitte hired Evelyn to steal the Relic, so chances are she'd know enough about how to safely rip it out of V's head. Thing is, Brigitte has her own plans for the biochip. Brigitte's not the kind of leader to stand around and wait for her orders to be carried out – she takes on the riskiest jobs and is always ready to put her neck on the line for her people. The Voodoo Boys trust her – everyone else oughta keep their distance.
