Bab 194: What a twist!
"ORI!" Rebecca shouts, wide-eyed but the memory of his head exploding prompts her back into action, firing Guts at the bastard who shot him.
He doesn't move however, simply standing still as Rebecca's shots go wide. He grins smugly and points his weapon at her.
"Sorry lady, but-" he's cut off as something hits his cheek... A wad of spit... "Y-you dirty bastard..." he remarks, bewildered.
Ori grins, blood staining his teeth as he continues to strain against the wall, "You're the one with the basement full of knocked-up girls, 'choom'."
*BANGBANGBANG!*
Rebecca fires off some more shots but they miss, hitting the door behind the guy. "GODFUCKINGDAMNIT!"
"They weren't lyin' about you being a tough bastard. Shot through the heart and you're still standing, like a zombie." he sneers. "I doubt your girlfriend is that lucky though." he points his rifle at Rebecca who was hurriedly reloading her weapon.
"Hang on!" Ori exclaims, "You ever heard of a thing called Botulinum? Cause that's what I just spat in your face. Hit 'em 'Becca."
*BANG!*
The shot strikes true, blasting a large wound into the guy's chest, breaching his Subdermal armour and revealing his lungs and heart for all to see, his ribs barely preventing them from being perforated.
Rebecca runs over and kicks the rifle away as Ori follows, dropping the wall behind him, "You need to update your software, Netrunners like this guy love poking holes into them-, your aim assist."
"W-what did you do to me!?" the downed man groans, his speech becoming slurred.
"To be honest, I'm not sure. But I'm told the neurotoxin really fucks up runners, 'Zeta'." he states before plunging the NMN Injector into his chest. He groans in pain as the nanites start tearing him apart, but Ori ignores it and continues the process.
"Okay... Add this to the list." Rebecca sighs, slinging Guts over her shoulder as she grabs his rifle, a railgun of some sort.
------------------------
"Sasha!" Ori calls out, spotting the Netrunner limping down the hall.
"Did someone set you on fire!?" Rebecca exclaims at the sight of her, the burnt Netrunner suit sticking to her scorched flesh like melted duct tape.
"G-guys, we need to go now." she grunts out, "Scramblers are down and AVs are on their way!"
"Already!? I thought we were making good time!"
"Did you get the data?" Ori questions, momentarily dismissing the small army headed their way.
She nods, "Enough," before shaking her head as data flashes in her eyes, "We can make it to the vehicle depot and escape from there, but first we need to reach the control room. Come on." she starts limping but Ori lifts her into a princess carry, careful not to aggravate her burns.
"Just point us in the right direction."
-----------------
Sasha quickly leads them to their objective, the room had been locked down tighter than a nun's chastity belt, but Rebecca's Thermite launcher made quick work of the locking mechanisms, and an added kick from Ori opened the way.
Inside were screaming security guards and the Netrunner who'd be trying to cause problems for them, but a few quick shots from Rebecca put them down. With that, Sasha ports in and gets to work opening the depot for them. The many monitors around them flash to show just that, a large room with a couple vehicles remaining.
Most of them were shipping trucks that'd been transporting goods and people, but there were a few armoured units too. In particular a single Militech Aerodyne of some kind sitting in the corner. Yeah, Ori didn't know how to drive one, but he wasn't gonna miss the opportunity to learn, especially if he pissed off some Corpos in the process.
"Any of you know how to drive an AV?"
Rebecca shakes her head, "Tried it in a sim and almost reenacted the Holocaust..." she admits.
Sasha does the same but doesn't respond, too busy with her current task.
*Bzztch!*
The screens suddenly flicker, turning to static as a voice speaks to them in Italian while getting translated through their software, "Hello, I am-"
"Not this shit again!" Rebecca growls, "I swear to god if this is more hostage bullshit I'll tear you a new one, stupid voice guy!"
...
"As I was saying, I am part of Biotechnica, as you may have guessed,-and before you ask, I am not aligned with the bastardos responsible for this mess."
"Then what are you? Because I'm pretty sure you're just stalling til you men get here." Ori coldly remarks.
"You could say I am on your side, let me be frank, my name is Bastiano Loggagia, son of Nicolo Loggagia the CEO of Biotechnica, even if he does not possess the power such a title suggests."
"So just another Corpo-gold-spoon-ass-hat, let me guess, you want us to keep the shit we found to ourselves, if we survive." she adds the last part unthinkingly, "Or maybe you wanna hire us to clean up this shitshow?"
"No. I want the files made public. The damage it would do to Biotechnica is worth the chance of ridding the corrupt demagogues currently in charge. I'm only able to speak with you now because of your friend's slicing of the security." Bastiano explains.
"Hmph, youknow I'm feeling pretty spiteful today." Ori remarks, "What's in it for us doing what you ask?"
"I was under the impression you came here to release the data, but if you need further incentive, I'll provide you the chance to get revenge."
"Revenge?"
"Revenge on Joanne Koch, the woman who kidnapped your family and tried to assassinate you. Also, the woman who created this laboratory," he audible sighs, "In fact, it wouldn't be incorrect to blame all of Biotechnica's current slights against Night City on her."
Ori folds his arms, "If you're the son of the CEO just get rid of her yourself. Or is it too much trouble for someone as 'busy' as you?"
