I want to preface this by saying that I am totally cool if the answer is still no! But, I think maybe I explained it poorly. Natasha would like to try to hack the Network component of her neural implant to temporarily turn off the ability to receive calls or texts.
There is no real reason for it, except that she is so tired of always being connected and tuned in and available. Even if she leaves it constantly on Do Not Disturb (which she might), she would love the option of just going dark.
Like, with my phone in real life I actually have a couple of options to turn off my ability to be contacted.
1. I can turn the phone off. People can still call or text me, but calls go straight to voicemail and I won't see my texts until I turn it back on again.
2. Similarly, I can turn on airplane mode. Any app not requiring WiFi or phone data can still be used. But calls and texts won't come through.
3. I can turn on airplane mode and enable WiFi. This allows me to use any apps that require WiFi to function but straight calls and texts going through my operator will not come through.
4. Low-tech: I can leave my phone in my car and then no one can reach me at all.
And those're just the everyday options available to someone who isn't especially tech-savvy! I imagine if Natasha was using a regular cellphone she would be able to figure out at least one other way to cut off connectability.
Of course the implant is new tech to her and so her 21st century tech-skills might not fully translate despite her best efforts.
Now, if the receiver in her implant is inextricably linked to the other features (like being able to watch TV or open doors), and it's an all or nothing thing, then obviously she wouldn't pursue that line of action. She likes opening doors, thank you.
Or, if she could turn it all off (or even just parts) but it would be irreparable/permanent, then again she wouldn't want to do that.
Once again, I am totally cool if the answer is still no! You don't even have to go into depth to explain it. Like "sorry, not how the tech works :(" is perfect! I just wanted to make sure we were all on the same page!
