บท 182: Full Circle
Ori stares down at the sewer entrance with a wrathful glare. After a moment of indecision however, he reluctantly drops down into it, his pupils turning to slits as they quickly adjust to the darkness. But all he could think about right now is whether or not he'd just stepped in shit.
Thankfully, the liquids around him weren't what he expected. A dark, almost black crimson instead of the green sewer water he was expecting. That old cyber psycho had been busy apparently.
Arms, legs, organs, and other body parts ley strewn about the narrow tunnel. They hadn't been removed cleanly however, as there were obvious signs of ridiculous force being used. The bones in the limbs had all been crushed, and the fist-shaped indentations in the walls gave a clear picture of what he'd be up against.
He glances down at his now pitch-black metallic arms, wondering if he'd chromed up enough to handle it. (They look like this but more metallic and pitch black : https://www.pinterest.com/pin/720857484079682651/ )
Cautiously, he makes his way through the tunnels, navigating by using the now rather limited tracker. While it pointed him in a vague direction, it didn't help much in deciding which path to take... Thankfully, the spatters of blood and other signs of destruction made it fairly easy to guess.
He stumbles across a couple small rooms that'd been divided by scrap metal walls which had already been torn through. Remnants of a chemistry lab undoubtedly synthesizing drugs were left strewn around.
There were some complete corpses, likely the chemists and other egg-heads. Unlike the drone, the absorption of the corpses via the Injector was far more gruesome than he'd expected. First, the fluids were expelled out by the nanites, then they began dismantling it like flesh-eating bacteria.
It takes around five minutes for each body, which was slow if he didn't consider just how much information they were cataloguing. These guys in particular had numerous smaller Cybernetics, related to health, and regulating hormones. Hell, they even recorded their 'Sexual Assistance' Cyberware.
The things of interest were the Kiroshi Optics V1, Subdermal Armour, RAM enhancements, and Synthetic Muscle Fibres. All of which the nanites intended to install once he had time and safety. Needless to say, most of them would require a day or two to fully integrate and install.
The length was mostly due to the nanites wishing to integrate the tech into the biological enhancements already made. His eyes were biological wonderments already, and simply replacing them with some Kiroshi's would probably be a massive downgrade.
By the time the nanites were done all that was left of the corpses were puddles of chunky, bloody vomit... He retracts the Injector and continues on his way.
-----------------
*Thud-SNAP!*
*Thud-SNAP!*
*Thud-SQUELCH!*
"Y-you fuckin' creep! Just leave us alone! STOP!" a woman cowers against the wall as the madman stomps on the skulls of her friends.
The old man pauses the violence and raises his head, showing his heavily armoured, enhanced, and plated face. Drooling pools from his mouth as he growls, snarls, and sniffs erratically, clearly out of his mind.
"LEAVE YOU PSYCHO FUC-*SPLATTER!*" The woman's entire upper body is crushed as the psycho throws a huge piece of rubble at her.
The psycho then leans backwards and screams up at the ceiling, his jaw looking as if it was unhinging from the rest of his face.
*TinkTinkTink!*
He pauses, looking down at the three small glowing things that'd dropped next to his feet.
*BOOM!*
An electric shockwave explodes out, forcing the psycho to his knees as his entire body sparks and shudders.
*CRASH!*
A foot crashes into the man's stomach, punting him across the room like a wet rag. "EMP's, a Cyberpsycho's worst enemy." Ori remarks, as he hefts the rifle and aims it. He'd learned a lot while working gigs for Regina, particularly what highly chromed-up targets were weak to.
*Bangbangbangbangbang!*
He frowns at his bullets all pinging uselessly off of the guy's armour and throws the rifle to the side, realising he'd have to get up close and personal. His Monowire drops from his arm and he whips it forwards, slashing the guy's neck, but again, bounces off uselessly.
"More anti-mono armour...? It's like they created you to fight me-... Oh." he mutters as he realises that Arasaka may have done just that.
*Crrrack!*
The guy forcefully stands up as the sparks arcing across his Cyberware become more intense. He locks eyes with Ori, his crimson visor brightening with intensity.
"And resistant against EMP..." he shakes his head mirthfully, retracting the Monowire and dropping into a boxing stance. "Come get it then, this won't be like last time. Ass hole."
"AAARRGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" the man launches himself at Ori with reckless abandon, arms flailing as if hoping to confuse his opponent.
Ori sidesteps it, allowing him to crash into the wall behind. His fists bury up to the elbow in concrete, and he just growls as he extracts himself and gets ready for another assault. This time he meets it fist to fist.
*CLANG!*
Both stop dead in their tracks as they strain against one another, the psycho throws a haymaker with the other hand but Ori ducks it and hits him in the stomach with an uppercut, then grabs the arm to throw him into the ground hard.
His fist cracks the floor as the old man moves, sprinting back up and attempting to bite Ori's throat out with his horrifically altered mouth. Ori blocks it however but stuffs his left fist into the man's gullet.
"EAT THIS YOU SACK OF SHIT!" he shouts as he shoots out the Monowire, which quickly slices up the insides of the psycho's throat, entering his stomach and doing even more damage from there. He tries to stab the Injector into him as his opponent struggles and writhes in pain, but his armour was too thick to breach.
Ori steps back and retracts his arm and Monowire, allowing the old man to fall to his knees, vomiting up an incredible amount of blood, flesh, and whatever was left of his organs. "Don't worry, 'buddy', I'll pay Arasaka back for what they've done to both of us."
Ori tears the visor from the man's face, revealing his empty eye sockets and allowing him to stab them with the Injector.

บท 183: Gal-Night
Elsewhere :
"Hahahaha! How long's it been since we all got together like this?" Rebecca laughs, giddily clapping the backs of Kiwi and Dorio, all as Lucy and Sasha watch with mild apprehension.
"Maybe you should lay off the chems?" Kiwi remarks with a stony look, reaching for the paper topped with a dusting of almost luminescent white powder.
"That's mine!... Unless you want some, otherwise it's mine!" the pale chibi exclaims, slapping her hand away.
Kiwi retrieves her hand and frowns behind her mask, "You must be bored if you've dipped into this again. Let me guess, you've not done any gigs lately?" she glances at Sasha who gives a slight nod, confirming her guess.
Rebecca sniffs in response, both to capture the powder around her nose and at Kiwi. "No one wants 'Zombie's crew' without Zombie." she grumpily complains, "Now I've been left on door duty for that tech Ori bought!"
"It's not that bad. I've been wanting a vacation for a while now. It's not like we're low on Eddies..." Sasha adds from the side. "Besides, we'll be up to our necks with work once the stuff in Japantown starts..."
"That's some dangerous territory. Luce' showed us what you ran into last time, Arasaka ninjas... I'm on edge just being around you, who knows if they'll try get rid of you before you can cause any damage." Dorio states while surreptitiously taking a glance over her shoulder.
"Eh, you guys worry too much. We're still too small to catch their attention. They'll be too busy gunning for that old bag-fixer to grab us anyway." Rebecca waves their worries off.
Dorio sighs and shakes her head, taking a big gulp of her drug before ordering another, "Let's just hope you're right... Speaking of 'Saka though, Maine's been talking to that Fixer about following up on that last gig, 'Tanaka' was the name, I think...?"
"Dorio..." Kiwi trails off, obviously not wanting to discuss such a cagey subject. Especially something concerning Faraday, that creepy-ass Fixer.
"Eh, leave it. 'Snot like these guys are gonna rat on us... Ain't that right?" she trails her gaze over the group.
"Whadda we look like? Suits?" Rebecca protests.
Kiwi sighs and leans back into her chair, folding her arms after lighting up a cig. "Whatever."
Dorio grins and leans forwards, lowering her voice, "Apparently, Faraday wants us to grab a certain Suit's kid. Still dunno why, but it's probably gonna be blackmail or something."
Lucy tilts her head, "Someone from Arasaka won't bend to blackmail. He'll probably want us to kill the hostage to 'prove his loyalty' or something." she quietly volunteers.
"Don't quote me, but apparently our Fixer has a plan around that. Says 'The loss of family is one thing, but the loss of face cannot be tolerated'. I doubt that four-eye-bastard'll give us a gig bound to fail." she quotes in a mockery of Faraday's tone.
"Eh, if you do go ahead with it give those ass holes a kick for me. Saw some Arasaka students talking smack the other day, took everything I had not to dome them..." Rebecca adds.
*Beep!*
The pale chibi pauses as she receives a text from a certain 'Bitch-Fixer'.
[Hope you aren't expecting your delivery to arrive. Received word that someone else would be 'better suited' for it.] - Rogue
...
"'Becca? Something wrong?" Dorio questions the girl's uncharacteristic silence.
Rebecca just holds up a hand as her eyes flashed with data, signalling she was busy.
[Whachu mean?] - Rebecca
[I mean, that Cyberware Zombie bought'll go missing as it reaches the port. Too bad he bought it through unofficial channels, otherwise insurance might've covered it.] - Rogue.
[Are you fucking kidding me? That thing cost a hundred grand, and you're telling me some dumb piece of shit is gonna klepp it?!] - Rebecca
[Or try to, at least. Too bad security's already been paid off... I may be able to help you out, but it'll cost you.] - Rogue
[Of course it will, when do you ever do anything that's not for Eddies... What kind of help?] - Rebecca
If she wasn't riding on a buzz thanks to the coke she might've started breaking things. Not only had she been put on house-sitting duty, but the fucking delivery she'd been asked to keep an eye on was apparently gonna get stolen.
[Depends on how much help you need, and how much you got. You want intel, or a team to solve the problem?] - Rogue
[Just gimme the detes, I ain't a corpo so having you hire mercs ain't an option.] - Rebecca.
[You better come to the Afterlife, the guys involved in the 'heist' would be annoying to deal with if they got word of it.] - Rogue.
Rebecca scowls, downing the rest of her drink and finishes the last of her coke. She looks up at Sasha just as some douchebag steps in between her and Lucy, trying to get their numbers or something.
*Bang!*
The guy flops backwards like a fish and the club goes silent, all turning to Rebecca who held a still-smoking gun.
"What the fuck you dumb bitch!? What did you d-" one of the guy's friends shouts as he walks over, reaching for something in his waistband, but Rebecca jabs her gun at him too while wiping her nose.
"You want some too?!... I didn't think so! Let's go Sasha, something came up." she gestures with her gun before moving to leave.
"Hey, you just gonna leave us to clean this up??" Dorio exclaims.
"But my small arms can't carry a body!" Rebecca mockingly says, turning and clapping her bicep as she walks out, her gun still in her hand.
"That girl, I swear..." Kiwi mutters into her drink.
...
"Uh, you three should probably leave, the cops'll be coming..." the bartender tentatively says.
Dorio nods with a sigh, tipping the guy some Eddies for the help, "Thanks for the heads-up. See you around Peter."
"My name's Jerry..."
"Bye, Peter." Lucy adds with a small smirk.
