Cyberpunk 2020

Fortunately for the group, the monster was out, and since everyone ran off, they did not have to deal with further carnage.

The nomads and bikers left as the C-SWAT was out destroying them but they managed to escape with the load they needed. But for the cops, the problem just started.

A group of officers went to the basement to check and found several dead cops and limp cops as the police station was looted and the prisoners were escaping. "Fuck!" The sergeant shouted as he checked on a cop and his neck was snapped and the cop had no heartbeat.

The monster converged towards the cops and the cops fired at it and they managed to shoot a few rounds into the monster before they were totally destroyed.

The monster went to the ground floor and grabbed a C-SWAT. Even with an armored skin and helmet, the monster grabbed the C-SWAT destroyed him easily.

=====================================================================

The party giving out the bounty prepared the funds in an electronic account where as soon as the teenagers could verify they were safe and escape, the mercenary would still have to prevent the teenager from getting killed.
 
"We probably need to share the reward with her." Max said to Johnny. "Here's the address."

=============================================================================

A road block was setting up and as 4 cops stopped their cruisers in the road, a young girl with blue hair approached them. "Just 4 regular piggies..." She said and grabbed the back of the necks of 2 cops and shoved her thumb into their spines and dislocated their spine paralyzing them. Before the other cops could realize they were in danger, she punched them in the guts and grabbed their heads and choked them. The cops flailed and 4 men approached and grabbed the cops and dragged them behind the police cars and snapped their necks. "Take their uniforms and weapons." The lady said and got another text and left.

The men stripped the dead cops and put on their uniforms and hid the bodies in the trunk. They saw a car approached and waved down the car pretending to be cops.

===============================================================================

// These men are there to try to make a last minute attempt to steal the "teenagers" to claim the bounty.
 
Johnny looked at Max a bit indignantly, "Uh. Ok. She just bolted, though." He didn't have much consideration for anyone outside his very close circle, and random solos that show up then disappear didn't qualify. "Anyone back there got any extra holes they shouldn't?" He glanced up in the rear view mirror to give a shallow inspection of their teenage cargo and if any of them got injured. Then nodded to Max and headed where she indicated.

"Fuck.." Johnny saw the police stop up ahead, but there was nowhere to turn off before reaching them. Turning around would look way too obvious. "Everyone look happy. We're just club-hopping," and he turned on the car's radio to some dance music, hoping they would look like they hadn't all just come from a police station shoot-out.

As they got closer, Johnny slowed down and then stopped, as any law-abiding citizen would, but he kept his foot ready to slam on the gas. "S'up officer," he flashed whichever 'cop' approached his most charming smile, hoping to flirt his way through whatever this was. "Wanna join us in Arcadia?" he mentioned a nightclub with a very tame and legal reputation.
 
While the police station is in chaos and the teens are safe with Max, Jackie and Johnny, Mio drives around the city to make sure she isn't being tailed. Once she was sure, she sped off toward the Sputnik Club, not wanting to be late... at the top speed of 40 mph. She decides that if she gets enough money, she needs to buy a better car as soon as possible. Speaking of which, her car begins to slow down and stutter to a stop. She tries to start it again but no dice. She gets off and pops the hood, only to realize she has no idea how to fix. Frustrated, she kicks the car and begins jumping on one leg and grabbing the other with her hands as the pain surges through her. The car starts however and she closes the hood and drives off again.

Sometime later, the pink city car is parked in a dark alley in a run down part of town. Smells of antiseptic fills the air as there is an illegal cyberware surgery place further down the alley. Shouting can be heard as the doctor seemingly botched a surgery. A few buildings down from the alley, is a small building with the sign "Club Sputnik" flashing. At the end of the road is the junkyard.

Next to her pink car, stands Mio, her back resting against a damp wall. She wonders if she made a mistake by trusting the other Solos to keep their word and share the reward money. Suddenly, Mio perks up as she hears the engines of a car coming and then stop. Then she hears the car door open. With an air of mystery and coolness, she steps out of the alley and begins to say, "Well, you'r-" she stops mid sentence as a very confused middle-aged balding man who was about to unlock the door to his house with his house key stares at Mio in confusion. Wrong guy. Mio quietly steps back into the alley, face blushing a bit.
Well that was embarrassing.

More time passes as she remains in the alley. It was kind of her own fault for coming much earlier than she needed to because she wanted to act all cool and mysterious like those trench-coat wearing mystery men from some teen shows. The guys who step out of the darkness and greets the heroes, "I've been expecting you."A punk eyes her curves from a distance and approaches her. "Hey babe. What's a hot chick like you doing all alone in a place like this? You lookin' for a good time?" Mio growls, "Not in the mood, punk. Get lost." The punk gets closer and places a hand on her waist. He says, "That cat-suit you wear is pretty sexy. But with the metal face you got, you should wear something more..." The Punk freezes and his eyes widen in terror as he finds himself staring directly into the barrel of Mio's Colt AMT. "I said, get lost. You have exactly 5 seconds to get out of here before you get a new hole in your head." The punk quickly runs off in mortal terror and Mio is left alone again.

More time pass and Mio was still standing around. She was getting bored waiting. Then, as if to answer her desire for excitement, a bucketful of dirty water falls on top of Mio from above. Someone on the 2nd floor of the building she's leaning on didn't see her in her dark clothing from above and just poured their garbage water from the window, accidentally pouring it on Mio. Mio blinks a couple of times as she processes what just happened. She then makes a gagging sound as she realizes that she has been hit with garbage water. She is now completely drenched and she smells like dead fish. She shivers a bit as a cold breeze hits her drenched body. She looks around and wonders if she should try to get back into her car and try to change. On one hand, she's drenched and she smells of fish but on the other hand, it's been so long that Max, Jackie and Johnny should be arriving at any moment now... even if they are running late. She thinks about powering through it but when another damp, cold gust of air hits her, she figures that she'll catch a cold if she doesn't change her clothes. She hops back into her city car and begins undressing. Once she gets the wet garments off, she receives a credstick notification. Rummaging around in her car, she digs out her cell phone. "DUE TO A COMPUTER DATABASE ERROR ON OUR PART, WE HAVE NOT BEEN DISPLAYING THE MOST RECENT AND UP TO DATE ACCOUNT STATUS FOR THE ACCOUNT OF MIO SHIMURA. THE DATABASE HAS BEEN UPDATED AND THE ERROR HAS BEEN RESOLVED. YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE IS: $320" A feminine voice saying, "FUUUUUUUUUUUCK" can be heard shortly after. This night has been going terribly for Mio. The only way it could get worse now is if the people she was waiting for would show up now, when she's still naked.
 
About an hour later, the cops that were fortunate to be alive were sent to the hospital. A few federal investigators were called in and they found the footage of the monster killing a C-SWAT officer and proceeding to destroy several cops.

2 hours later, an assault team from Arasaka was destroyed by the monster. It seems like everyone now was interested to get it to find out what it is.

===========================================================================================

A police car arrived and 2 cops exited the car and found a Militech van at the side of the road. There were several dead men in armor on the ground and the pudgy cops saw the monster chewing on the neck of an armored man. "Shit..." The cop muttered as the monster stared at them.

An AV4 arrived and 4 C-SWAT quickly converged on the monster chewing at the necks of the pudgy cops. They fired their armor piercing rounds continuously into the monster until it stopped moving. As the C-SWAT approached the body of the monster, they were sniped and 2 elite snipers form Militech quickly gathered the other men and they moved the monster into their van and drove off.

===========================================================================================

The monster had strange DNA and was very aggressive. Militech managed to discover a mutated rabies virus in the monster that made it more aggressive and stronger.
 
"Can you step out of the vehicle..." A cop said at the road block and Max exited the car and looked at the cop. It seemed like the cop had lost quite a bit of weight recently as the belt was a little too long and the pants looked a little baggy.

Before Max could warn anyone, she saw the cops draw daggers and she grabbed his hand and the other cop managed to cut Max. The other lady kicked a cop in the head and disarmed the other cop. The cops seemed too fast to be cops and they had quite a bit of state of the art cyberwear on their bodies.

Max noticed the way they fight and they were not cops and she disarmed a cop and slit his throat and grabbed the other cop and pinned him to the ground. There were 2 motorcycle cops arriving and Max drew her silenced pistol and shot the cops that attacked her.

"Freeze!" A cop shouted.

"This is not what you think..." Max said...

Max dropped her weapons and as the cops approached the ladies, they suddenly turned around and disarmed the cop. Jackie punched the cop grabbed his helmet and snapped his neck.

"Trying hard not to kill you." Max said and dragged the motorcycle cop to the police car and she spotted the naked dead cops in the trunk. "Look, we did not kill them..." Max said as she cuffed the motorcycle cop and choked him out and left him in the trunk of the police car.

"Fucking people trying to steal our bounty." Jackie said and made sure all the kills are confirmed.

Max drove on and reach the area to dropped the teens off for the bounty. Max now has the credits and shared $5000 with Johnny and she needed to find Mio to send her the money.
 
Most of the nomads veered off the original plan, taking most of the stolen goods with them, including the new vehicles. Everything would need to be cleaned, both from the occasional bloodand dirt, but also to make sure they would not be followed. Of course the family would not sell anything, just use it or discard it. Well, except some of the more pricey pieces, for those, they had fixer contacts. And come next morning, they would be out of the city, this kind of fun being a little too much for them. And they had to remove the heavyer weapons and armored vehicle from the vicinity of the hardcore gangs of the city if they wanted to keep them...

But a smaller group with Wanderer would stay and go find this Jimmy boy, or what ThinMan called him, Johnny Memory. They had some cop uniforms and some businness to do with the man, at least getting their money back if not having fun with him. But it would be acouple of hours because they had to dodge the police more than once, and also find his place... Lucky that he was such a streamer, as that needed a hardpoint somewhere in the city. Hopefully this Johnny would be online soon... That 'tabletop game' these nomads was interested in worth the little overtime.
 
Johnny spotted the ill-fitting uniform, and his brain changed from charm mode to combat mode like a lightswitch. "Anything you say, officer," he smiled, just before he flung open the door hard enough to completely bowl the fake cop over. He drew both his Marsons and fired at the rest of the gang in stolen uniforms. He used the car door as a shield and crouched low, popping up to take shots, after catching the second one on his side of the car in the face, he fired several rounds into the chest of the first one he'd knocked over. A glance to the side told Johnny that the women on the other side were doing just fine. He casually strode over to his first hit and put a few bullets into fleshy looking parts of the man's head. Very casually, he put two more in the head of the one that never had a chance to get up as he returned to the car.

Johnny opened his mouth to ask about Max, noticing she was injured for the second time tonight, when the real cops showed up. "Well, fuck.." he wasn't sure whether to hide his guns or just kill the real ones. Jackie took the choice out of his hands rather efficiently, and he didn't even have to raise his guns again. "Um, glad we left one alive who saw our faces, huh?" He quipped as he watched them load the one living cop into the trunk.

Max circled around to the driver's seat of her own car, so Johnny took the passenger seat, putting his knees up on the dashboard like an unruly teenager. "Thanks for inviting me out to hang, by the way. I already had enough action tonight.. although the footage of Officer Dildo was prime." Johnny didn't expect or ask for an equal cut. He was just the driver, and he'd already made some money tonight. "Oh, some freak was trying to nominate some bitch for my show, tonight. Like.. someone needs to lay off the psychosis. So, I was ready for that drink I never got. Is that still on the agenda?"
 
Meanwhile Mio is having a bad time near Club Sputnik while waiting for Max to show up.
 
The scientists at Militech could access a lot of new bio weapons as the monster seemed to have a lot of unknown DNA. It has a saliva that is sedative and can paralyze on contact. Collecting some enzymes, Militech could grow this sedative. With some CRISPR, Militech also has new spray on rabies which can make dogs attack.

Xenia, the serial killer solo who murdered more than 100 guards and police officers took a contract to steal the sedative enzyme from Militech. She had no problems getting to a scientist and getting all the information required and waited for Militech to transfer the enzyme out.

Xenia shot the tires of the van as it was crossing a bridge and it crashed to the side of the bridge, she quickly rushed over and shot the driver and vehicle commander and broke the lock at the rear door and found 2 cases inside and quickly took it and left. Nothing was labeled, but she managed to test the enzyme on herself and even with cyberware, she was paralyzed for an hour before she could move again. "Wow, this is good shit..." She said and kept the vial in her pocket.

=========================================================================

Bob ended up in hospital again and stayed in the hospital for a night and went home the next day. He could still remember how some of the nomads he met looked like and could create portraits so that the police can start their search for the killers at the deadly police station massacre. He was also thinking about Mio and wondering how she was involved.

A detective came to his hospital ward and started to take statements. It was a high profile event and a lot of resources were available for this.

It was a pleasure to deal with the customer who requested the contract. After sending the photos, the unruly teenagers were dropped off at the location and there was a limo waiting for them. Shortly after, the credits were sent over and Max quickly split the bounty. Max gave Johnny $5000 credits for his work. "Drinks on you tonight." Max said.

Jackie was also quite satisfied and up for free drinks. On their way to the club to meet Mio, Johnny had to take the long way to avoid the roadblocks, but they soon arrived at the club.

Club Spudnik was a rough club. Across the street, there was a police car with 4 fat cops waiting and scanning everyone. Max looked around for Mio as she got in line to enter the club. Crowded clubs was not her thing but Club Spudnik was the place to spend money well with reasonable priced drinks and good music.

==============================================================================

Jackie saw a fat cop walking into a quiet alley and followed him. The cop walked to a wall in the shadows and peed on the wall. When he was done, Jackie kissed him and grabbed his dick. He was shocked and she continued to rub his dick and it quickly erected as she hugged him and fucked him.
 
Hearing a car, Mio began to quickly rummage through her stuff to put on clothes. Tonight was not a good night. She quickly puts on her crop top and long pants and begins to step out of the car when she realizes she forgot her long jacket which was actually armored. Going back in she puts it on and in her hurry to step out of the car, her foot gets caught in something and she crashes into a trash can.

Max can hear what sounds like a trash can falling over and something big hitting the ground coming from a nearby alley. She also hears a familar voice (Mio) saying, "Fuck fuck fuck"
 
Johnny was more than happy at his cut of the payment. "Damn. 2,500 a head for cops? I might have to switch to being a solo if it pays this well," he quipped back at Max, knowing it was rarely as 'easy' as his work tonight. "Fine, fine. I did a show earlier, as well. I'm flush. But I'm only paying for girly drinks." He rolled his eyes as they saw the line at the club. "Anyone here fucked the bouncer? I hate lines." He really did, waiting in line reminded him that he wasn't a real celebrity. Though, as they stood, Jackie's departure caught his attention, and his eyes followed her with skepticism. "Ok, bye, then.." He turned to Max, "We never did find out what her deal is, did we?"
 
Bob woke up in the hospital bed with a gag in his mouth. There was one of those selfie drones in the room flying and a nurse was removing her panties and she pulled a silk rope and Bob's arms and legs were restrained and she started playing with his dick. When Bob was erect, she jumped up and down on his dick and pumped him hard. Bob still had manu bruises and broken bones and it did not help at all.

When she is done, she removed the gag and kissed Bob. It was basically a publicity video since Bob had already became an internet celebrity as the dildo cop and this stunt was a way for a new solo to launch her career.

When she left, minutes later, the guard entered the room and was shocked to see Bob tied up on the bed. "What the hell happened?" The guard asked.

"Where were you?" Bob asked.

"I was out taking a piss, and a smoke." The guard said.

"And in the meantime, I got raped..." Bob said. "A lady had a recording device, and be sure this would be online and you will probably lose your job too buddy."

"How would I know if you would be fucked?" The guard said.

"I would have been killed you moron!" Bob said.


=====================================================================================

There was a new contract to hunt down Xenia to recover the enzyme. Militech wanted the enzyme back and everything Xenia had taken from the other organizations.
 
Max walked walking through the alley and heard a loud crash and saw Mio. "Hey! I got your creds here." Max said. "Let's go to the club! Jon's buying drinks!"

Max turned around and Jackie is gone. "Damn it. Oh well, I guess we'll see her in the club."

"Damn it... crowds." Max muttered as she waited in line she looked at a corporate wearing a snazzy suit walking in though the VIP entrance. "What's up with that..."

"Hey, how do I skip the queue?" Max asked the bouncer.

"VIP booth. Minimum spending of $400 per person." The bouncer said.

Max turned around and looked at Johnny and looked at the menu. "Most of the things are reasonably priced, a bottle of whiskey is $200, but a 21 year old bottle is $1500. So pretty much we have to buy the expensive shit to get in without queuing."

==============================================================================

Jackie entered the police car and sat beside a plump cop. "Shit.. you again." The cop muttered and Jackie took out a syringe and place it at his neck.

"What the fuck do you want?" The plump cop asked.

"I've fucked your partner, and I'm done for the night, but I want to know about the massacre at the police station. " Jackie said. "Any suspects or arrests?"

"Things are on high alert." The plump cop said. "Extra patrols, we have a list of suspects, bikers and gang members. Chief putting extra resources to get arrests."

Jackie looked though the list and did not see Johnny, Max or Mio on the list. She gave a smirk and said. "See you later..." And exited the police car.
 
Johnny held their place in line as Max dashed off to lose Jackie. "Ok, so I'll just wait here, then.." he said to no one, snidely. He was practically twitchy with impatience by the time she returned. "Naw.. not about to blow more than half of what I just earned. I'll blow something else. Watch daddy work."

Johnny stepped out of line and half-sauntered past everyone else up to the bouncer. "Hey, choal.." he stepped up close, pressing his hip to the bouncer's and stroking one hand down the chest of the bouncer's jacket. "When's your next break? If my friends and I are in before then, maybe I could meet you in the bathroom, and you could serve me a chaser." He dropped his hand to caress lightly over the bouncer's crotch.

The large rough-looking man snorted incredulously, "Like I don't get offered that 20 times a night. Back of the line."

Johnny's irritation at the dismissal only flashed across his face for a split second. "Then how about docking somewhere else... no restrictions." His fingers traced the bouncer's bulge more closely as he leaned in to whisper, "I've got the antibody package. You can fill 'er up."

That made the bouncer smile, "Chill, then," and his mouth turned up in a snide smile at the offer. "Go on in, tell them you get a table on Bic. I've got a break in 40. Be there," he warned Johnny not to stand him up after his generosity, then waved him in. Johnny waved for Max to follow him quickly and gave Bic a general description of his 'friend' Jackie if she bothered to show back up.

Once in, Johnny took Max's hand and dragged her through the crowd. "We don't need a table, unless you really want me to fuck that bouncer in the bathroom. Let's get some booze. I told you I'm only paying for girly shit. But.. I know whiskey is girly shit for you, so whatever. Jackie gets an appletini if she bothers to show up," he smirked.
 
Max found Mio lying on a bunch of knocked over trashcans. She gets up and dusts herself off. She grabs a banana peel from her shoulder and throws it away. She asks, "Thanks. Can you transfer the creds to my account?"

Mio accepts Max's invitation to go in the club and joins her in line. Looking at the menu, her heart sinks. She came here a year ago but the club was a rundown, small and crapped club where everything was dirt cheap and there were no lines. Guess the place renovated in that time. She nervously waits in line and wonders if she should bail but then Johnny waved Max over and she followed suit.

Once inside she looked around at the strobe lights and the various people dancing. This place is a lot bigger than she remembered. A year ago, this place could barely hold 10 people. Now there's easily 3 times that here and there's more in line. She sighs through her metallic cyberware mask and stays close to Max and Johnny. She isn't quite sure what she's supposed to be doing so she just stands around awkwardly and doesn't say much. At the same time, she tries to formulate a plan on how she can get through the night without spending 400 $.
 
"Oh, you.." Johnny said as Mio joined them. So, the random solo was indeed going to get a cut of the payment. It wasn't unfair for her efforts, but Johnny had little regard for anyone other than his own batch of clones. "So, what were you doing with Officer Dildo, anyways? You gettin' stuffed or was he helping you with the kids? Here, let me get you something, as I guess you're part of this." He ordered a bottle of whiskey for Max, and two blue Long Islands for himself and Mio.

"Whoa whiskey!" Max said as she took a shot straight up. Max transfers the credits to Mio as well. "Wow, feel much poorer already." Max joked. Max has always enjoyed working hard and playing hard. She looked around and saw some chromers in the corner and some other suits in the VIP corner. The dance floor was packed. Max liked the crowd but it seemed too crowded for her as she sat back and nursed her drink.

About 20 minutes later, Jackie returned and drank some whiskey. "Nice club." Jackie said.

"Where'd you go?" Max asked.

"Outside fucking up a cop." Jackie said. "None of us are wanted. They seemed to be after the bikers."

"Oh, great news!" Max said. "Cheers!"

"So what next?" Max asked. "You go off and pretend you never met us? Or do you think there are more jobs we can work together?"

Max looked at Johnny and Mio as well. "I'm talking to both of you as well."
 
"YOUR ACCOUNT HAS BEEN CREDITED $5000. YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE IS 5320 EURODOLLARS"
Mio lights up as she reads the message. If the cyberware didn't take up a chunk of her face, she would probably have huge grin right now.

Mio accepts the Long Island from Johnny; any drink she can get for free is a good drink. She thanks him and answers his question, "Officer Dildo? Please don't call him that. I'm trying to forget the image of him that was all over the news. As for why I was with him, I was driving around looking for jobs when I saw him get beat up by punks. Thought helping him out would pay well. I mean he was all over the news and is kind of..." She pauses for a bit trying to think of the right word to use. "I guess you can call him a celebrity of sorts? Though I don't know if I would want to be that kind of celebrity." She shudders at the thought of having a dildo shoved up her butt in and being filmed for all the world to see. She continues. "Anyway. I thought if I saved him, I'd get paid at least 200 $ but that didn't work. And then I got the message for rescuing the teens and headed there."

She takes a sip of her drink.
 
Johnny had bought Max a whole bottle of whiskey, and it came with a shotglass. "Well, I mean. You literally asked for whiskey.. you need a new memory chip?" he teased Max before toasting his bitch drink with Mio.

But then he stared at Mio in disbelief as she spoke. She didn't like what was going on with Officer Dildo. Was she.. nice? "I mean, free celebrity. He doesn't even need to work for it. Sounds awesome to me." Of course, Johnny was helping with Bob's celebrity in his own small way, and he had more footage from earlier tonight to upload. "He didn't even pay you. Why do you even care? Would you mind doing an interview about him? Not right now, but soon." Of course Johnny would edit whatever Mio said to be as entertaining and humiliating for Officer Dildo as possible. But an eyewitness would likely draw some viewers.

Johnny listened to Max's offer of working together more as he swirled another swallow of his blue glowing drink. "I mean, yeah. I guess.. you know I got my own thing going on. But, let me know. I can drive, or more. But you know the commando thing is more your area." Johnny was already itching to get home and upload the footage from the police station.

==============================================================================

Across town, at a higher end club, a Corporate in his late 20s, wearing an expensive suit and some slick hardware on his wrists stumbles out. He's drunk and high on whatever was the most expensive additional kick at the club, tonight. As he lurched towards where he thought he parked his car, a huge bear of a man stepped out from the shadows of an alley and caught the Corporate around the waist with a large cyber claw where his left hand used to be. After only two punches of his robotic right hand, the Corporate fell silent and was dragged back into the alley. The larger man pulled two large metallic dildos out of a pack and stared down at the unconcious Corporate with a malicious smile. He was sure to suffocate, if not have his throat completely destroyed by one, while the other made sure he was suffering at both ends while he died. The brute turned on his recorder, excited to submit the footage to a certain contest he hoped to win. If not, another dead Corporate was always fun.

These types copy-cat crimes spiked in frequency due to popularizing the footage of Bob's horrific experiences on the news and elsewhere.
 
Mio replies rather quickly, "No, it's not that he didn't pay me. It's just that he wasn't as well-off as I expected a cop to be. He paid me 100$ which is better than nothing. He was heading for the precinct as well but I dropped him off nearby and asked him to stay out of it or he'll get hurt. Apparently he didn't listen to me since I heard someone that sounded like him having a bad time at the station when we were raiding it. I didn't see him face to face though." She takes another sip and shrugs, "I'm not sure why you'd want an interview about him. He seems to be a generally nice guy but a bit too unwavering when it comes to the law." She twirls the glass with her fingers and lets the fluid inside move about as she thinks about working together. The blue liquid swirls around in her cup. She says, "Hey, if it pays this much I'll be down for it. I used to make a lot more per month but I've been unemployed for a while." She sighs and says, "Guess with so many full borgs and people with arms that can punch through walls running around, no one wants to hire a girl with a metallic face mask."
 
"Well, he paid you shit for keeping him alive. I don't think you owe him anything," Johnny made no attempt to hide his callousness towards someone outside his small circle of people he cared about, especially a cheap cop. "From how often he seems to get attacked, I could probably tone your interview about him like a memorial.. but, his growing celebrity is exactly why I want to interview you. If you really feel the need to make him look good, that's up to you." Not that Johnny would let that happen in the final cut. "I'd respect his unwavering dedication to the Law if the Law were even remotely fair. It's like admiring someone who really loves their cyberpsychosis hallucinations." He finished off his first drink quickly, and considered spending the evening here with his 'sister' and two strange women... or if he should go home and get his next feeds ready. Johnny smiled slightly to himself at his semblance of professional dedication.
 
Mio giggled at what Johnny said about someone loving their cyberpsychosis hallucinations . Her laugh is not exactly girly and her mask lends the laughter a robotic tone. She snorts at the end of her laugh and says, "Yeah no shit. I don't really like it when cops are incorruptible. That always makes things harder for me. Still, I can't really hate a guy for being dedicated to his word and profession. Honestly I wish he'd paid me 200 $ but eh, I can understand not having cash. I mean, I wouldn't be here risking my ass for dollars if I was rich, you know? We got things we need to buy like ammo and food and some of us even have people to feed." She jerks a bit as she is hit with a realization. She asks Johnny, "Do you think Bob has a wife and kids? Aw man! Even if he doesn't he'll have parents and maybe sibling that look up to him. I can't imagine what must be going through their heads seeing Bob on the news, lying on the pavement with a dildo up his ass. Shit. I feel really bad for his family."

Mio seems genuinely a bit saddened at the thought and she droops her head. However, it also does seem that she might be projecting a bit.
 
Johnny wondered how someone could grow up into being a solo with such obvious cyberware enhancements and still maintain Mio's apparent degree of sympathy. Her speech actually made the thought of Bob's theoretical crying children watching footage of their father being raped cross his mind. But then he literally shook it off and ordered a second drink. "Well, that fini-ed my buzz.. I doubt a brownie with that bad luck managed to find a woman willing to drop litters for him. I wouldn't worry about it. You'll give yourself early wrinkles before you can afford to get them fixed. Just worry about yourself, and check someone's credchip before helping them in the future."
