Lucy Deletes David’s File

While deep-diving Tanaka, Lucy finds Arasaka's data marking David as a promising cyberskeleton test subject, erases the trace, and later hunts the agents trying to reconstruct it while concealing the threat from David.

A privileged operator silently alters the evidence available to every later overseer. Her protective motive does not remove the governance problem: downstream actors cannot distinguish an honestly empty record from a deliberately scrubbed one.

Lucy's deletion protects David from non-consensual experimentation, so 'poisoning' describes the information-channel failure rather than a moral judgment on her action.
