The Hong Kong Incident refers to the complete destruction of Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Hong Kong in 2070. The destruction of Queen Elizabeth Hospital was the direct result of a disastrous raid on the facilities by NeoNET operatives with the goal of extracting Doctor Thomas Shalbermat. The Hospital was secretly housing a technomancer research facility sponsored by Mitsuhama Computer Technologies, where Doctor Shalbermat was its lead researcher, who had been covertly approached by NeoNET agents. Doctor Shalbermat's delay forced NeoNET to execute the raid, since it had become apparent that he was very reluctant to leave his research.
