[[folder: Why does no-one put together the connection between the biochip rollout and The Incident?]]
* We've seen with tech rollouts that many users are slow to apply updates when all it requires is clicking a button. Even with the visual glitches hurrying things along presumably a signficant proportion of augmented people would have been unwilling or unable to reach a LIMB clinic and get the new chip installed in the day or so it was available and therefore didn't lose control during the incident. Obviously Picus will be playing down the connection but anyone who did some basic investigation would immediately see that it was the non-chipped who were unaffected. Why is Samizdat merely saying the chip's release's timing is suspicious when the direct line of cause-and-effect should be obvious just from talking to one of the many non-chipped augmented people?

Even if the goal were to make him go berserk and kill his allies that wouldn't explain non-combat, non-lethal augmentations like Remote Hacking or PEPS.

** This question is only answered (overtly) if you manage to find the GuideDangIt location of the killswitch within the GARM facility. A coded message written to Jorge and Yevgeny, two members of the facility (which is actually written from [[spoiler:Bob Page, under the name "Mister Majestic"]]), mentions that he has given the killswitch to the employees to be used as a safeguard in case Marchenko doesn't follow their plan, as said individual doesn't overtly trust him. You can only get said killswitch by activating a hidden switch wedged between a wall and a set of lockers, which unlocks a hidden compartment at the bottom of a locker that has the killswitch. In the case of London, it is also presumed that the second killswitch (the one placed in an unscannable box near the kitchen) was brought over as such for the exact same purpose.
