My SyncDisk Adventure
I’ll never forget my first SyncDisk experience. There I was, a rookie detective barely keeping my head above water in a sea of cases. I stumbled into a Sync Clinic, more out of curiosity than anything else. The doc convinced me to try a Constitution disk, promising it’d help me work longer hours. Boy, was he right! Suddenly, I wasn’t shivering in those cold alleys or falling asleep at my desk. It was like I’d been reborn – a new detective with a cybernetic edge. From that moment on, I was hooked on exploring what these little wonders could do.

- High-income safes: These are prime spots for finding SyncDisks. If you’ve got the skills to crack ’em, you might just strike gold.
- Side work rewards: Keep an eye out for jobs that offer SyncDisks as payment. They’re not common, but they’re out there.
- Sync Clinic staff: Sometimes, the folks working at the clinics might have a disk or two for sale.
