Yeah in all of my play through I’ve met less than ten of em unless you’re on the hardest difficulty. Plus the other guy is right in saying they’re too expensive for “low-tier” gangs like the Scavs and Animals.
"If only there was a way for me to decrypt the data this would be much simpler." Unfortunately for Mark, properly interfacing with the encrypted memory shards left behind is beyond his means, since the laboratories are dedicated to research, and the supercomputers are tied behind Space science. "Maybe if I get my get a cyberdeck? I will try to buy a cheap one later."

Apparently the term “Indians” wasn’t actually a mistaken reference for the Indian Subcontinent, but rather a translation error. It was actually short for indigenous, or the equivalent in 15th century Spanish.
The Milky Way was boundlessly vast, and coincidentally, the once in a decade Leonid meteor shower rained down.

Small boats plied the waters, and villagers going back and forth warmly greeted the samurai, inquiring about the bounty of their capture.

They didn’t plan on doing it, but once they saw the effect, they incorporated it into their plans. The conquistadors mention giving blankets and other gifts primed with the disease to the merchants.
In fact, it was ultimately the Tlaxcalans who introduced the Spaniards landing in Mexico, provided them with a foothold, detailed information, ample food, and even tens of thousands of servant cannon fodder. Eventually, taking advantage of the Aztec's internal turmoil, the Tlaxcalans and Spaniards were proactively invited into the capital city by Montezuma II, and the smallpox, deliberately spread by the colonizers, destroyed the city of Tenochtitlan in the lake and led to the demise of both the Aztec civilization and the Tlaxcalans themselves amidst the epidemic.

I'm pretty sure he meant she was camouflaged using mud to hide, not that she actually was “mud-colored.”
Not understanding Kwaku's action, many eyes followed his gaze too. On the side of a mud hut, a body slowly detached and walked to the fore of the indigenes. The muddy toned skin rapidly morphed into a lovely caramel shade, revealing a woman who could only be described as fierce yet mind-blowing.

"Like, one of the nine realms?" he questioned again, and Katharina sighed… "Yes, we're among the Infernal Realms, we're in Underworld or Netherrealm, as you want to call it," Katharina said with a shrug.

"I don't, but I'm not blind to the reality of the world either, and Mark and Wube Inc. aren't blind to it either. Maybe a little naïve, but he's not stupid. Regardless we already got enough data on how to breach his defenses, and next time we want to finish the job we will send the professionals."
