"Don't mind it Myers, it was the least I could do to h help after what you and the NUSA turned a blind eye to the Blitz back then." I said as I waved off the president of the NUSA, Rosalind Myers, who called me in thanks for helping heal one of her most important special operative of her injuries due to her constant trespassing on the territory of the Old Net and beyond the BlackWall.
"Well regardless I need to thank you for what you had done, Songbird, that girl would have died had I kept pushing her if I left things be, but with you and your companies aid she is now on the road to recovery as is." She said before her look became pensive.
"But are you sure about this? Even if Saburo is gone, a full blown War with Arasaka is unwise, and if the benefits didnt outweigh the cons I wouldn't let Militech get involved in this mess." She said but I just shook my head at her saying that.
"Be that as it may you don't really have a choice either way now do you? The NUSA, Militech, KangTao, Biotechnica and several other Major Corps all have contracts and alliances with the AWG that is equivalent to Military Alliances between all of us, and if I declare war on them then none of you have a choice but join me in this, and should any of you try to back out not only will those many, many Titans you and the others have will be decommissioned at a snap of my fingers I will also overload all your important databanks and servers with advanced Daemons that will destroy anything and everything that you or them hold dear and as a result completely cripple you, but that won't happen as this will be another quick and easy war as all the upper echelons of Arasaka are here in Night City, they fall then the Arasaka Corporation falls with it and it will fall into the annuls of history as an old and forgotten relic of the times, sure it will leave millions unemployed but I have enough room to accommodate those to be jobless workers, and the rest of you can take the rest of those I don't take in, besides after this small recession the world economy will begin to boom as a result of my company becoming the worlds largest and most favored corporation as a result, so in the end it's a win win for all of us." I go onto explain to her before I hear the sound of the elevator ringing in the distance
"Well, looks like my guests arrived, we will continue this conversation at another time, so until then." I say before ending the video call and stepping out from my office.
I look down from the landing to the floor below to see three men already taking seats at my couches with one smoking as he was leaning back while smoking a cigarette.
"Well gentlemen, how are you enjoying your brand new bodies and especially you Johnny, how does it feel to have a brand new lease on life." I ask as they look up towards me as I come down the stairs.
Johnny doesn't say anything as he keeps smoking before he pulls away his cigarette, "While I preciate the new body, the question is why you would do this as you assholes always have a reason or another to do anything, so why me?" He said in his usual crass way of saying things, but their wasn't any hate in his voice, but their was heavy amounts of suspicion for why I did what I did for him.
"To the point Huh? Well since this will be a bit how about some drinks, Right, Left, tequila with some beer and chili garnish for Johnny, Cetzon for V and Whiskey for me and Hifumi." I say with a snap of my fingers as I go take a seat next to Hifumi.
Johnny looks at the bots with some slight intrest in his eyes, "Sex Bots as Assistants?"
"Unfortunately not, they are the combat versions to percise, the only two of their kind, if I wanted to they cut easily cut through a platoon of men with heavy cybernetics, weapons and tanks like a hot knife through butter, they are the ones who kill any assassins that have come to take my life over these past two and a half years since I started my company anew." There were versions of them on the market that were suited for sex but Left and Right were not, even if they possibly were in their original universe.
Soon enough they came back with our drinks before leaving the bottles on the table, "Now Johnny, V, Hifumi I have you all here for one simple thing because you all have a vested intrest with what I have to offer." I say before grabbing my glass of whiskey as the rest grab their own and down it all at once.
"So…. What is it that you want anyway then?" V decides to ask as Johnny poured himself another drink.
"The complete and total destruction of Arasaka." I said as I kept it briefly and to the point, this in turn made Johnny stop for a second before grabbing his drink and raising it.
"I can definitely cheer to that." He said before downing his drink entirely in one go before putting it down.
"Destroy Arasaka? Okay I get why Johnny wants in because of his huge hate boner he has for them, but why am I pulled into this?" He asks as Johnny scoffs at what he says before he goes back to smoking some more.
"V, I don't know if that gunshot gave you brain damage and memory loss, but don't you remember Arasaka left you high and dry after you were caught spying on my company? And if I didn't choose you to stay alive we wouldn't be having this conversation, and Johnny would still be stuck on that Relic deep in Arasaka's databanks to rot for all of time, though after 50 years I'm not surprised what Johnny actually remembers isn't exactly true, if you saw any of them that is." I say pouring myself another drink.
V went quiet after that as he did realize that Arasaka really did fuck him sideways and it was only 'luck' he wasn't killed outright.
But I plan to destroy Arasaka completely, not because I have a deep seated hatred like you Johnny but because they, specifically Yorinobu, broke many contracts with my company that were in the end a declaration of War, but in reality he wants a war to happen as he wants his fathers company going up completely in smoke through his own hands." I go onto explain.
"Now Johnny the main reason I need you is for one thing specifically, Alt Cunningham, she's still alive on the other side of the Blackwall but she has the power to help cripple and destroy all of Arasakas data worldwide which will lead to an easy and seamless destruction of their entire company as a result." I say which gets his attention even more.
To destroy Arasaka and make the world a slightly better place.
