Spoilers obviously so please don't read beyond.
Chain of events:
Yorinobu Arasaka stole the prototype improved biochip with the aid of Anders Hellman.
The Voodoo Boys hired Evelyn Parker to make a virtu of Yorinobus hotel room so that they could steal the biochip, they knew it had Johnny Silverhands engram on it and wanted to use him to contact Alt Cunningham.
Evelyn was aware they were after the biochip.
She doublecrossed them and went to Dexter Deshawn with a plan to sell it to NetWatch. She told him that was Yorinobus plan.
Edit: Something I only picked up in a later playthrough is that Saburo tells Yorinobu he knows of his plan to sell the biochip to Westerners and Hellman told him of this.
Questions this prompts:
What was Yorinobu doing with the biochip and why was Silverhands engram on it? Hellman its inventor did not know about this when V tells him at the Sunset Motel.
Was he planning to sell it to NetWatch as Evelyn claimed, and Saburo said he knew of this intention, and why because as an Arasaka he surely did not want for money?
How did the Voodoo Boys find out about the biochip and that it contained Silverhands engram?
How did Evelyn know about the biochip and that it was the reason for the Voodoo Boys hiring her?
Speculation:
If NetWatch did indeed know of the chip and were after it well then when V confronts the NetWatch agent at the GIM he did not know V had it.
On the other hand if they did know they would be interested in it either because they would consider whatever the Voodoo Boys want to be bad news or if they knew what was on it they might even consider the Silverhand engram to be a dangerous AI in addition to that.
Perhaps if NetWatch did know they also wanted to use it to contact Alt.
Could this have been Yorinobus plan as Alt did say Arasaka had black ICE with her literal name on it. But then why steal it and not inform Hellman.
