The first thing the cyborg thinks when it feels that sensation against its organic mind is that maybe Maximilien had a reason to be upset. The mental prod is like a ping sent with the wrong protocol, or a cold finger to a shoulder without warning--sudden, startling, but ultimately, it doesn't seem malicious.

It fumbles for a moment, trying to connect more properly to whatever system is contacting it--digitally, with secure channels and all.

State your intention.
