So, after reading through Back to Business, I dusted off the old Mercurial Adventure and set about translating and then transforming Mercurial both into 4th Edition and adding 20 years to her. Obviously, I took some creative liberties, but I tried to stay true to the Mercurial idea first seen in the orginal Paul Hume Adventure.
Dermal Sheath instead of Dermal Armor (rating 3 not 2) and I added Titanium Bone Lacing to help the orginal intent (i.e. boost her body), and I made all of her cyberware deltaware (to reflect their master designer, Sorayama). Use it, don't use, I post it here not to argue about but to offer my take on how I see her in the game I run. Enjoy.

Life has not been easy Maria Mercurial, now in her mid forties. Although she has overcome her addiction to BTLs, the same cannot be said for her multiple personality disorder. She is haunted by her past, as well as gaps in her past she still cannot remember. Her dominant personality, Innocent, is still friendly, open and trusting. If threatened, she reverts to the Amazon- impatient and hot tempered, often taking extreme risks. Once she comes down from this “high”, she reverts to the Schoolmistress and withdraws from the world both physically and mentally. This condition can last for months.
With rehab and therapy, Maria has slowly rebuilt her life. Reclusive the last decade, she has recently began to tour and write again, with the support of her loved ones.

Nice, I just ran the first adventure of season four and pondered running the Mercurial adventure set in 5th edition. This will help thank you.
