Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: Plans behind the scenes

9 months ago

In a laboratory, a few scientists and engineers were putting together the body of a cyborg.

"ok everyone let's use the backup data and personalize-engram of his personality," said the person in charge. After a few more minutes the cyborg came back online and started to move. First, he checked his body parts one by one then he started to verify his system.

after a few minutes, his voice was heard" How long was I out for?"

"1-month sir, the young master called to ask when will you be coming"

"urgh, I will head to Japan tonight, gather all the info you have on Ghost, and also make sure no one knows I survived"

Present 

as Yorinobu Arasaka entered his penthouse with his body guard he started to speak "my sister will be here next week. I want security doubled and also I have company coming in a few minutes, so I will not need your protection. You may do as you please"

"very well, are the upgrades ready for me to install "

"yes the cybernetics team will be waiting for you on the fourth floor"

and just as Smasher was about to leave the elevator open and came in a woman who looked like a doll. He scanned her, the name came in as Evelyn Parker a doll that worked for Clouds. He ignored her after looking if she had any dangerous Cyberware and left the penthouse.

The next day

Dexter Deshawn looks at his employer and asks "Did you get everything we need from his penthouse?"

Evelyn answered " yes the voodoo boys helped me by switching the names of the dolls he had preferred for entertainment, I managed to scan everything in the penthouse. Now we just need to find a merc who can do the job"

"Don't Worry. my contact has already informed Mr. Welles and he will inform the merc who I got my eye on"

"good and remember we need someone who can do the job quickly and quietly" she got up from her chair and started to leave, but before she reached the door she said "I know someone who is good with brain dance tapes, I will contact her once you get the merc"

but before she left Dexter said" Ohh and Miss Evelyn be careful of the shadows that can follow you"

she looked confused and just nodded and left.

Dexter looked at his watch and made a call after she left 

"is the tail following the doll?"

"no sir" came the answer from the line

"Fuck!"

V and Jackie entered the building and saw a man standing on the far end smoking

"Yoo choom, you with David?" asked Jackie 

the man just looked back at them and answered "Yeah. You guys got the goods"

V took out a shard and gave it to the man. After the stranger took the shard and inserted it in his Neuroport both Jackie and V had to wait for him for a couple of minutes until he spoke again 

"Great. Give me a sec your payment should be coming now" After he said that both V and Jackie got their money. And just as they were about to leave the stranger said "If you guys are looking for work my boss said to come to him. He is always happy to work with trustworthy people "

after both Mercs left the man made a call. 

"Got the goods"

the person on the other line answered "Good, come back to the club Lucy and Kiwi need to study the blueprints" 

"on my way"

"ohh and Falco how did they do in the job? "

"Honestly not bad, but both tent to shoot first and ask questions later"

"hahaha just like Beca, ok that's fine, I'll see you later then"

Falco left the building and headed to the City Center.

MC POV

"Falco is coming with the shard," I said to Lucy who was with Angie working on the Flathead which we got from Royse. Since I knew from the game that Royse was the new boss of Maelstrom I went and bought the flathead first before V and Jakie needed to go retrieve it for the heist.

"Good, we should be done putting the extracted stuff you wanted to put in the flathead before Falco arrives, we are going to need Angie's help to decode the blueprints and also to create the EMP Neuroport to neutralize the chip," said Lucy who was by Angie's side helping her with the modification we added to the flathead.

Angie was a technical engineer at Militech but her boss wanted to steal all her credit in a project she was working on. Her boss hired a merc to zero her and steal her data, she had to run away and hide after a few years she came to Nigth city and took a loan from Faraday, which was a bad choice. Faraday had her work for him to modify weapons, Cyberware, or anything from Machines to people. 

After I took over all of Faraday's business, I became her boss, I made a deal with her voided her debt, and hired her as my head engineer, she gets paid well and I get a competent mechanic, everyone wins.

"Ok, after you guys finish with it tell one of our guys to take it to the store in Chinatown and call me back when he gets a buyer, Ohh, and tell Beca to spread the info on the flathead being for sale at that location".

My plan was going well as far I could tell, there are still about 3 weeks before the heist and I will try to give V and Jackie a few jobs so they can get better Chrome for the job, once the heist starts it will be up to them.

For the most part I will not interfere with the heist job only once they leave Konpeki Plasa I will try to kill Dexter before he blows V's brains out, Since I hired a Merc to Watch Dexter's moments in the city. Once we have the engram of Johnny we can have access to Alt and My plan for Makoshi can start. 

the only problem will be to hide V since after Yorinobu kills Saburo, hell will break loose and the city will be on high alert so I have to be careful about how I get V out of the city.

In another part of the city V got a call from Jackie telling him about a rescued job they got from Wakako to rescue Sandra Dorsett.
