2 week later
after taking a break and laying low for a few weeks my relationship with Lucy improved and we spent more time together. I think I finally started to get into having a normal routine without worrying about money or having someone after me. well except for Roice who to the surprise of no one put a bounty on Ghost for 50,000 eddies. thank god only El Padre and Regina know of my actual name. I don't know how he knew it was me (Ghost) who stole the car. but it does not matter since most people don't know who Ghost is. since I decided to have two different contact information one for Ghost and another for my friends. the only 2 fixers that have my personal contact are Regina and El Padre. which they like having since they have a Merc specializing in stealth that only they have info on over the other fixers.
In these last 2 weeks, I have been busy with the modifications I'm making to the suit I got from Roice. Turns out I hit the jackpot with this suit, is a state-of-the-art Militec special ops suit for stealth and infiltration missions, with reinforced armor and flexibility. Plus it can run a cyberdeck so I can finally hack machines and people without frying my brain. now I can use the sandi and hack someone at the same time. The only problem was the Maelstrom guy who had the suit before me. removed the cyberdeck and I had to buy a new one from Vik, which was pretty expensive.
I already did a few tests with the suit and I'm impressed. the armor is good enough to take bullets from a submachine and pistols, anything high caliber will damage the suit, plus it was made for military operations so it can withstand the friction from my sandi.
But the best feature is the stealth and hacking mode. the stealth system is more of a light and heat refractor that makes it blend with the environment and not even the best Hiroshi optic, that Vik had can pick anything once is active. The cherry on top is the hacking system that connects with a Netrunner without having the Netrunner be compromised and hacked back since they use the system on the helmet as a proxy and only the system on the helmet would reset instead of being Brain Fry. which is also the one problem we found since while the helmet resets I would only have access to the cyberware on my body.
Also after some tests, I had done with Vik's help, he finally remove the limiters on my sandi now I can used it at 100 percent, and let me tell you this thing is not military-grade cyberware for nothing. the first time I activated it at 100 it felt like time had stopped completely and I could move and do anything. For what felt like 15 seconds I moved around the building and did jumps and everything, but in reality, it was less than 0.15 seconds. but the backlash felt like I had all of my organs, muscles, bones, and brain hit by a hammer, the bottom of my shoes was non-existent, and my clothes were smoking. my skin was red, and I almost passed out after that test.
I had to wait a day to do the test again but this time with the suit since Lucy was really mad I did something so stupid. thankfully the test with the suit was much better and safer. a course I did not start at 100 percent this time. I gradually increased it from 60,70,80,90, and then 100 again this time it was a lot better after I deactivated it since the suit was made to handle a sandi, the only issue was that the suit was hot after I used it at 100. My and Vik guesses that I can only use it 3 times for about 20 seconds each before I do permanent damage to myself.
Besides that, I decided to do some jobs with Lucy and Rebeca since DINO contacted me 3 days ago to steal some info from a corpo from KANG TAO which was easy since I had my new steal suit. I waited for him to leave his home to steal the info from his apartment since it was easy to hack the security system with Lucy's help. the other job was more difficult and I and Beca had to kill a member of the Valentinos who rape and tried to sell the daughter of some corpo to the Scav. we had to fight our way out since by some miracle after I killed my target with Beca's help and we were about to leave the building the scav decide to show up in numbers, and we had a nasty gunfight. thankfully we had Lucy waiting outside giving us cover and disabling their cyberware. the gunfight did not last more than 5 minutes and we managed to get away quickly.
And that was just a few days ago, Also Regina called me 2 days ago to do an elimination job on a guy named Jotaro Shobo from the Tiger Claws. A nasty dude who records himself torturing joytoys and sells XBDs to like-minded scumbags. The Mox finally tracked him down. and since Beca used to be Mox and knew of this guy from a friend she decide to help me since This was her chance to give this fucker what he deserves and earn some eddies while we doing it.
we had to wait since the info we got from the Mox told us he would be at the Ho-Oh club a day after I got the gig. The problem was it did not have any info on the amount of security the club would have or any other surprise that might be waiting for us. I decided to scout the place and get myself familiar with the layout of the building the day before he would show up in the club.
The Ho-Oh Club on Allen. is where we need to go to find Jotaro. from the intel I got by going inside the Club and also looking around the area around the building, Jotaro was going to be guarded by a good number of Tyger Claws on all three floors of the Club that we would either have to sneak past, or fight through to get to the top floor, where he will be at. Aside from the Tyger Claws and Jotaro himself, there was also a turret on the third floor, which was by far the deadliest hurdle that we had to deal with in this gig. the options were either destroying it or using quickhacks to shut it down.
After getting to Jotaro, there were two choices the Mox gave us on how to deal with him. The first was, that we can either kill him, which ends the gig and just requires us to leave the club premises, or neutralize him with a non-lethal takedown. Handling Jotaro non-lethally will yield an extra reward from the Mox, which is to carry him out of Ho-Oh and deliver him to the fixer's vehicle so that he can be taken to the Mox to be dealt with.
I decided to see if I could just sneak in and do the job myself since I have the stealth suit to help me out in this one and if I had no other choice but to kill him, Lucy came up with a good idea of just hacking the turret on the third floor and killing him with it. Honestly, after hearing her idea, I was a little embarrassed since my Idea was to do the same thing I did in the game. She laughed and kissed me and told me "That is why you have me and Beca to help you out and make the job easier".
Beca a course was mad since she would not be able to join me in the mission. so I had to promise her that I would let her beat the shit out of Jotaro after I got him.
My plan was to simply sneak in with my stealth suit, hack, and steal as much money as we could from Tiger Claws since now Lucy can work through me and I can connect directly to their ports and have access to money account directly. after that go to the third floor and if I'm still unnoticed knock and take Jotaro out of the backdoor. while Beca was guarding Lucy just in case anything bad happend. and after taking Jotaro to the drooping point (not before Beca roughed him up a little) we were done with the job.
In total, we made 200,000EU from the money we stole from Jotaros accounts and the club's main server. another 20,000EU from the Mox and the special reward was a Cortes V5000 Valor( The car that Dexter pick V up in the game) and a Kusanagi CT-X3(Motocycle) both of those used to belong to Jotaro himself.
