First POV
I woke up and did my usual routine, shower, breakfast, and suppress any of my problems related to waking up with memories of another life. just the usual.
I was looking at the City through the window of the Metro on the way to the Arasaka Academy to get my money back while thinking of the info I learned from the laptop I took from the scabs base.
From all of the messages I read they have 4 more bases in Santo Domingo 2 of those are out because I saw them on the news this morning the 6 street raided them last night. that leaves 2 more that are closer to the Badlands and from what I read only one has the security cameras and turrets setup. that's my plan on Thursday to raid one of them.
2 hours later I slammed the door of the counselor's room and left in a bad mood they only gave me half of the money back because of some stupid reason about claused on the contract the students have to sign.
on my way out I saw someone I knew or at least my other self knew. I kept walking until Katsuo grabbed my shoulder and asked me "Street rat what are you doing here I thought I told the admin to expel you for what you did on Friday" I looked at him and something clicked, the email from that Kado guy it was this guy who wanted me to be expelled.
I did not say anything Kasou just came closer to me and said "You street rat don't belong here with the elites, how about you leave and don't come back to ruin the Academy's reputation with your smell" he and his 2 minions just kept laughing I thought of something and said "You know what how about this you give the shard that you kept bragging about on Friday and 5000 eddies and I will quit school myself and you won't see me here anymore
he looked at me for a few seconds and I saw he was about to deny the request so I said "Unless your daddy is too poor to afford a measly shard and 5000 eddies to kick a street rat like me out of school" he closed his mouth and his 2 minions started insulting me about how poor I was and that Kasuo can Buy and sell me whenever he wanted Kasuo just said " 5000 and martial art shard to not see your ugly street rat around here is nothing that the Tanakas can't afford" I looked at him in surprised (is this guy serious?) he click on his neuro-link took out a shard and toast the little thing like it was trashed, his eyes glow blue and I got a notification of 5000 AU on my account I looked surprised said " Well you prove me wrong, you won't see me in the academy anymore I am dropping out" I said that and left the academy building with a smile on my face.
On my way home on the metro I saw this beautiful girl with blonde white hair stealing shards from random Corpo scumbags and I just smiled at her and said "Be careful with the big guy on the left he has top-graded cyberware. She looked shocked and then smiled with a nod, I left the metro cart after and went home.
Five days later
I looked around from the top of a building with my new optics. only to see the remaining scabs and Maelstrom clean the warehouse lot filled with the bodies of the 6 Street gang. I can't believe how lucky or unlucky I am. I raided another building with around 15 scabs yesterday. well, only 5 since someone gave a tip that the 6 Street was going to raid the biggest base they have in Santo Domingo they sent 10 people to help out in the biggest base (which is a warehouse) I took the remaining 5 with Steal and took them by surprise. It was easy and I looted 3000 eddies and a couple of weapons, sold them today to the weapon shop in the mega building, and got another 1800 eddies now I have a total of 24,550 eddies. and it was good since I finally found an apartment in Watson North Side district, cheap with the rent only going for (1200 eddies a month) the only problem in the reviews of the place is the neighbors but it can't be that bad right?. so now why would I still be risking my life with the last base.
Well the thing is traveling around is a pain in the ass and I can't carry all of the loot I get from the previous places so I decide to buy a car from the website AUTO FIXER I bought the Colby C125 not the best looking car but it was cheap and only cost me 18000 eddies so now I only have (2950 eddies left) ( I also pay the first 3 months for the new apartment) so I require money now more than ever.
from what I saw there were only 15 people left alive, and the scabs got reinforced at the end by the Maelstrom I waited until the Maelstron left and made my move I activated my sandi and everything looked like their moving in slow motion. I snuck behind the 2 guards by the front gate and cut their throats I moved in silence and saw 2 more guys smoking by a dumpster to the side of the warehouse I did the same move and killed them just in silence. after moving their bodies inside the dumpster I moved closer to the warehouse and almost got caught by the cameras in front of the warehouse.
I looked around only to see a broken window on the side of the warehouse I went inside the building a few minutes later only to see 6 guys on the floor getting treatment from a 7 who looked like a riper doc. I spend the next few minutes looking around for the remaining 4 guys only to see them in an office talking to each other.
I thought of an idea, risky but it could work. I activated my Sandi moved to the window of the office took aim at all 4 gangsters shot 8 times 2 per person and moved behind some boxes deactivated the Sandi waited and once I heard footsteps pass by the boxes I activated the sandi again looked and shot 4 more gangsters down I went back to hide but the 3 remaining gangsters did not come to check so I went around only to see the 3 remaining gangster struggling to get up. I took pity on them activated my sandi once more and killed them before they knew what was going on.
4 hours later
I sat on my couch looking around the apartment. everything was packed in 4 boxes. "dang we had only clothes, some books mom had, and now my weapons and laptop." Well, it does not matter I'll move to the new apartment tomorrow anyway and everything is already packed in the car.
I thought to myself ( Thank god corpo kids are stupid). the reason clearing the Scabs warehouse went so smoothly is mostly because of the shard I got from Kasuo." what an idiot did he think that shard was just a combat program", no that was a shard only the top dogs of a specific department can get for their safety. It does not only have a martial arts module but once you can get access to it, weapons and cyberwar modules that range from any type of high-grade implants to military-grade ones like my sandi. That is the reason I can move and control my body so smoothly. Too bad I have to have the shard on my neuro link so my body can make the smaller movements that I'm still not used to.( One month is all I need to memorize everything and not need the shard to fight with the sandi at 100 percent, or at least 40 percent of the maximum this sandi can go since Vik put a limiter on it or I'll fry my brain and shred my muscles, but that is for later David to worry about.
