Hi, I Just Wanted To Add That You Have Two shards Ports Behind Your Right Ear, So Technically That Explains

Hi, I just wanted to add that you have two shards ports behind your right ear, so technically that explains why you can still use shards while in game, even with Johnny’s Relic. You simply use another one.

So technically you could probably use the two ports to do the switch, like once V’s Relic is done and stable, you could remove Johnny’s.

However, just wanna remind that Alt was constantly battling off NetWatch when she was taking control of Arasaka’s building, so take that as you will :) Maybe she can split her attention to also make another Relic, maybe not and that would be why that option was not one, who knows!

not to beat a dead horse about the ending but if the issue is that the relic is too damaged to repair v: you literally have blueprints of the relic. alt has control of the manufacturing floor of the arasaka building. and you’re putting data shards in your neural port throughout the game, so clearly the port is not that damaged.

like you make a huge deal of getting these blueprints and then they never?? really?? come up again.

just make a new relic, put v on it, put the relic with v into v, let it repair v’s brain with v’s engram.

like alt? alt. alt you literally created the soulkiller why did you not think of this.

bonus round: all the disparate parts of a human being have been synthesized at this point. why can’t they put Johnny on a new relic (again, you literally do have the means to make a new one), and store him in a closet or some shit until you can hire a ripperdoc to make him a new body? viktor literally says you can do that in the start of the game.
