Viktor Vektor is known as the best Ripperdoc in Watson. He's also an old friend of Jackie.
"I win"
"Wow Misty first time playing this game and you're good at it."
Me, V and Misty are inside of Vik clinic were on the floor playing Uno waiting for Jackie to finish his checkup the cards are made with durable plastic and there the original I don't want to create chaos if I decide to create Uno no mercy. Lola she outside not because she's not allowed to come in it's because she's playing with that cat I don't know how but the two of them became friends.
"All done beside the bullet in your ass you're fine I recommend upgrading your cyberware optics."
"Thanks Vik I'll pay for the treatment for now we need to sell all the weapons and valuables from our recent gig and go to report our client that the job is done."
"OK I will hold on the cyberware optics for you Hopefully you have the money to pay it."
Jackie stood up and headed straight towards us
"Guys I'm done do you want Vik to see if you have any injuries?"
"Nah I'm good but V should go"
"I'm OK if anything you should go since you went straight to those two Maelstrom gangs"
"As you can see I don't have any injuries but I can see some scratches on your arms"
V was convinced and headed straight to Vik.
"What were you guys playing?"
"A card game that 8 created it's called Uno It looks simple but you need to think which car should you draw the rules are simple you have to empty your hands"
Uno is indeed a classic card game known for its simplicity yet strategic gameplay. Players aim to be the first to empty their hands by matching cards either by color or number with the top card of the discard pile. However, Uno also introduces special action cards like Skip, Reverse, Draw Two, Wild, and Wild Draw Four, which add twists and challenges to the game. (Thank you Google)
"Give me some space I want to play"
Now Me, Jackie and Misty are playing Uno
"8 can I ask you a question you don't have to answer if you don't want to"
"Sure, what's on your mind"
"Do you really don't have any cyberware I mean you took out two armored Malstrom gang with speed and strength I doubt it that you need our help."
"To be completely honest I don't have any cyberware and the Question about my speed and strength If I had to simplify it is because genetically enhanced."
Jackie looks at me curiously
"Genetically enhanced? like steroids or something?"
"Something like that, it's more like him modify my body to be more durable, stronger, faster and smarter a superhuman."
"Him? by any chance you can tell us more about that person."
I know this is going to happen it's a matter of time so I decided to tell them half of the truth
The person's name it's Migel he is responsible of modifying Me and Lola the reason he did this it's so I can live my life however I want of course not harming any innocent people.
I can see V and Vik hearing our conversation
"So, he modified you and Lola for no reason but to let you live your life there has to be a clear purpose or benefit people usually have reasons for their actions, even if those reasons aren't immediately obvious"
Thinking about my past life the reason that I'm modifying my character it's to have fun Role-playing as someone you shouldn't mess with.
"Jackie believe me he isn't a mad scientist trying to conquer the world, he just wants to make my life easier."
"Is it really OK to tell us all of this"
Misty said with a worrying look
"I'm not hiding it, with the little time I spent with V and Jackie I know I can trust them that includes you misty I can tell that you are a nice person."
Misty smiles at this
"What about me?"
Looking at Vik
"The moment I saw you I know I can trust you maybe because of your haircut or sunglasses you have a charisma of someone genuinely caring for their clients."
"I appreciate your kind words and trust."
"You look like someone who went with multiple dates tell me how many women did you break their hearts."
"Well, I don't know I'm not keeping count"
"You baster"
"Can we go back to the conversation"
"Sorry Misty where was I? right apart of him modifying my body he also left me heavy armored vehicles, cyberware that he modified and lots of money."
"I know this sounds rude but may I know how much do you have"
Misty punch Jackie on the shoulder.
"I have enough money to live as the richest man of night city"
"Are you serious? Then why are you doing gigs instead of living the life of luxury"
"Jackie I'm a superhuman do you think I will waste my time doing nothing except for spending money. I'm not like the corporation with a stick up their assess thinking that money makes them bulletproof"
"Fair point what happened to Migel?"
Thinking about my past life how I was modifying my character and went to sleep to end up in the cyberpunk
"I don't know what happened to him but I know that he's leaving his life happy"
Like that our conversation ended we keep playing Uno while Vik attend V.
Time passed and we said our goodbyes we sold all the weapons and valuables and inform our client that the job is done. We decided to go to El coyote to celebrate our 1st gig together.
"Cheers X3"
8 I want to ask you something about a rumor that I heard, is it true that you took care of the scavenger gang all by yourself.
"Yes"
"And the thing that happened inside the warehouse is that true?"
"Yes"
"Really? didn't you go overboard"
"No, they don't deserve any pity they kill people for their organs and tortured them for fun"
"What rumor are you talking about?"
Jackie explains to V what happened with the scavs.
"I see I glad that they suffer"
"Thank you V let's talk about what we're going to do next"
"What do you mean by that"
"Well, no offense Jackie but your car is crap we need a bigger car to store more loot Also we need our car to be bulletproof just in case we're being chase we should also add some weapons to defend ourselves. Luckily, I have the car for this"
"Really that's good I was saving my money to buy a motorcycle"
"It's your money do whatever you want the second thing that we need is a hideout a safe place that we need, a place to strategize for any gig, store our stuff weapons cars or motorcycles and privacy just in case we're being targeted I will also take care of this"
"Are you sure about this I mean do you have the money?"
I look at Jackie with a blank stare
"Sorry I forgot you're rich"
"Yes, I have the money but I won't be holding your hand for everything you have to earn it for example if you bring a Pistol and want me to modify it you need to pay me, of course you will have a friend discount also you guys will help me maintain the hideout either by cleaning or paying the bills and finally we need more people"
"More people? aren't the four of us enough?"
"Yes and no, we can take a small group of gangs but who knows what will happen in the future for example we need a net runner"
"Do you have someone in mind?"
V is looking at me waiting for an answer
"No, we have to decide as a group who's going to join us"
"Are you going to be the leader?"
"Hell no, you can bet your ass that me and Lola will just bust the door open and shoot first."
Jackie and V look at each other then looks at me
"Yes X2"
We laughed and keep celebrating Lola it's with Mama Welles eating her home cook meals. Time passed and we headed home I decided to call Padre if there's any warehouse on sale he said he will take time which I don't mind.
"Well Lola hopefully he will find a good place for our hideout it's going to be a pain for me to install all the necessary equipment even if I stopped time it will take days."
"Woof"
"Let's go to sleep tomorrow I will start creating your backpack"
"Woof, woof, woof"
End of chapter
Hello everyone I decided to watch the cyberpunk anime I will probably love it and hate it since I heard many of the characters died If it's possible I will try to include them into the story hopefully I won't receive emotional damage.
Before I forget I need a name for our Gang I wanted to use Lola as our mascot but I can come up with a good name.
Thanks for reading
