Chapter 95: Contacts made.
[Good work, I'll have the Eds sent once it's confirmed. I do have something else to talk about though, might be of interest to you?] - Regina
[Depends on what it is.] - Ori
[I've only recently started work in this kind of biz, but you're the only merc I've found that did what I asked. Finding someone who's not just a lead-brained lunatic in this city is hard enough, add the fact they'll be tasked to capture cyber psychos alive and most will just refuse the gig.] - Regina
[I've tried 12 solos and three good rep merc crews. Wanna know how many cyber psychos they managed to catch in one piece? Zero.] - Regina
[Sounds about right, most people realise that cyber psychos aren't like your regular madman. I'd hazard to bet that every single one of them is violent, a big difference from normal psychosis from what I've heard. Trying to bring down a super-chromed up animal with who knows what hardware is hard enough, let alone bringing 'em back alive.] - Ori
[You managed it. Before MaxTac got there and blew the sorry guy to pieces, and without doing it yourself... See where I'm going with this? How'd you feel if I hired your crew for some similar tasks? Obviously, they won't come up all the time, but having you on call when they do would help a lot.] - Regina
Hm, yeah he didn't know about that... The psycho they fought today was nowhere near as strong as the guys he'd seen on the news, yet he'd kicked his crew around like they were footballs. Then again, they'd be able to ambush the target given prior warning...
[Idk. Not sure my crew would be able to handle most psychos, not while holding back.] - Ori
[That's fine, before any job I'd send you the detes on the target, what known Cyberware they got... I'll even pay if you end up flatlining them, less than you would've got but enough.] - Regina
...
[Alright, you've got me interested. Only thing left to discuss is pay... It was 10k today but I want more depending on how dangerous the psycho is. Plus extra the closer they are to high prio areas. MaxTac won't care who's who if they arrive before we get your guy.] - Ori
[Sounds good to me, I'll talk to my team see what rates we can give. Cheers, Ori, thought I was gonna have to beg Rogue for contacts...] - Regina
*Beep-Beep*
"Looks like we've got another Fixer on call." he states, glancing at Rebecca who'd been 'patiently' while sitting atop the metal crate.
"Hm? That so? How many we got now then... Q, Rogue, that Mr Hands guy, Padre, Quentin, this 'Regina' bitch..." she idly lists off as she stands, examining the box to see how to open it.
"You're forgetting the others..."
She shrugs, "Eh, they don't count as Fixers, more like dime a dozen helpers or talent finders. You're not gonna say that 'choom' of yours Allen something was a proper Fixer?"
Ori just shakes his head, not replying as he leans down to the crate. It had a hand scanner and number combination lock, one that required a six-digit combination... "Yeah, I have no idea to crack this..."
"Move, I'ma do it the old fashioned way." she states, shoving him off to the side and kicking it over while pointing Guts at locking systems.
"Yo that ain't gonna-"
*BANG!*
*SSCCKKRRRECHH!*
The mangled systems instantly start sparking from the damage they'd taken, once that stops she gives the lid a prod with the barrel of her gun, causing it to just fall open and allow the contents to sprawl out.
"Huh, that definitely shouldn't have worked..." he remarks.
"Ignore that, look at this stuff... All total shit!" she exclaims, gesturing down at the contents. Whatever ideas he'd had to what was in the crate, this hadn't been it.
Multiple bottles of extra-potent immunosuppressants, likely to stop the guy from going cyber psycho... A bit late for that though. There were also many bags of white, synthetic blood that had been previously packed to the brim. A couple were leaking their contents thanks to Rebecca's rough opening, but neither cared.
Synthetic blood was somewhat expensive, but that was only for those purchasing it. The market was entirely run by Corporations. No one was gonna trust getting something as vital as blood from a pawn shop, especially not something stolen.
"What a letdown!" Rebecca bemoans, clearly unsatisfied over what should've been a 'loot box'.
Ori sighs and turns it up the right way after dumping some of the stuff out. He wasn't gonna let anything get by him, he vaguely remembered his sister using a false bottom in one of her scavenged shelves to hide her 'female products'. He reaches down and gives the bottom of the box a few prods, eventually finding a depressable area in the previously completely sleek metal.
He presses it and a click sounds out, the sides of the box falling away, causing it to go completely flat as it reveals the hidden item. "The fuck is that...?"
"Dunno... Looks cool though." Rebecca remarks, squatting over the strange device. Obviously, it was some sort of Cyberware that needed to be implanted, judging by the size, connection points and immunosuppressant ports.
It looked like a bundled cable, some kind of titanium alloy if he was reading the marking on it right. The bundle ended with a vicious-looking tip, one that'd open up at will. "Ooooh... A grapple hook?" he questions aloud.
"Ah! So that's what it is! I thought it was some kinda gun with the launching system, but a grapple hook makes way more sense!... Why is it a grappling hook? I've never seen one on the net or in a chop shop, not that great compared to everything else you can get."
Ori shrugs, "Well, that guy could move, imagine him with the hook. He'd be flying over buildings and we'd never catch him." he says, picking up the cyberwar and weighing it in his hand.
