*Dagadagadagadagadaga!*
"God damn, they don't stop coming!" Rebecca exclaims as she and Ori hide behind a large pillar, security guards swarming the opposite side of the room.
"They're bound to run outta guys eventually! I doubt these guys WOULD DIE FOR MINIMUM WAGE EITHER!" he shouts over at them, one tries to throw an EMP grenade in response, but Ori just slaps it back at them. It explodes in their midst, but none of them was that affected due to their lacking Cyberware.
Shaking his head, Ori runs over to a nearby upturned metal desk and grabs it by the end, hurling it at the men. A few dive out of the way, but two of them have their bodies crushed against the wall, their internal organs rupturing.
"Fuck this, just kill them!"
"We're trying!?"
They try to focus fire Ori but it doesn't work as he simply charges at them, killing any who he manages to get ahold of.
-------------------
Ori and Rebecca reach the next elevator after not finding Sasha, as soon as they get to the second floor however they're greeted by a rather confusing sight. Twenty or so women in various stages of pregnancy waiting for the elevator doors to open...
"D-Don't hurt us!" one of them shrieks at the sight of the duo, the heavily armed and armoured mercs displaying an obvious threat, even without the blood spattering their clothes.
"The fuck is going on here!?" Rebecca shouts, incredibly confused.
"Forget that, any of you seen Sasha? Black hair, markings on her face, claws..." Ori hurriedly asks.
"The girl wearing pink!? She saved us! B-but she was fighting when we left!"
"Where!?"
---------------------
"Arrgh!" Sasha yelps as torrid fire washes over the right side of her face and arm, almost instantly carbonizing the skin and scorching it black.
"Hahahaha! Come on girly! You're not trying enough!" the psycho cyborg cackles as he roasts the desk she'd thrown herself behind, sweat pouring down her face as the room's temperature rises like an oven.
Thankfully she hadn't been running around and getting burned for nothing, she'd finally managed to breach his security. "Try it yourself!" she shouts, disabling the mechanisms in his shoulders, causing them to flop to his sides... Of course, this also causes his flamethrowers to start firing at the ground, incinerating his combat trousers and burning his legs.
The Cyborg turns off his weapons, but the damage had already been done. The flesh on his legs burned enough that the internal muscle and Cyberware were now visible. He glances down and immediately howls in pain. The damage was enough that he'd likely have to replace his entire lower half... Even his manhood had been made extra-crispy.
Sasha doesn't waste this distraction, vaulting over the table with her one usable hand and stabbing forwards with her claws extended.
The pyromaniac notices this and decides to say 'fuck it', starting up his flame throwers again which ruins his legs while also catching Sasha. Her claw stabs into his chest, but he leans forwards and bites her bicep, keeping her pinned with him as he tries to cook them both.
Tears gather in her eyes as her legs get burned, she tries to wrench herself free by pushing her legs against his chest, but he held on, vengeance in his eyes as he bites harder.
"GET. OFF!" she roars, raising her foot and pressing it against the guy's neck, activating her newest Cyberware.
*SHIINK!*
A sharp spike shoots out of her heel, burrowing a hole through her pink trainers and piercing the cyborg's neck. His mouth opens in surprise, allowing her to backflip away, though her landing isn't quite graceful given how burned her legs were.
"KKAhhk... Heha-rehe... G-o-od o-ne..." he manages to rasp out as blood squirts from his wound, he drops face first to floor, flames ceasing and revealing his entirely carbonized legs.
"Bastard..." she scowls, grimacing as she tries to move her legs. Second to third-degree burns, muscle seemed mostly fine but she was in enough pain to make the very notion of walking a nightmare. Even now as her adrenaline wears off she was trembling from the pain, she only hoped she wouldn't go into shock.
"YAAaaargghh!" she screams while forcing herself to her feet. She waddles towards the door but cuts down a nearby column scale to act as a makeshift cane. Hopefully the facilities security is off dealing with Ori and Rebecca, she was in no state to fight them off right now.
----------------
"Huh, think they're finally out of meatshields." Rebecca wonders as they stalk through the hallway.
"'Bout time."
*CRASH!*
Breach doors suddenly fall on either side of them, blocking both exits with reinforced metal walls.
"Uh... That's not good." she utters, giving the new wall a kick.
*Tink!*
Both stares at the small device dropped in the centre of the new cell...
"That's-, even worse..."
*Spchhh!!*
Rebecca backs up against the wall as purple gas starts spewing from it, she readies Guts to shoot it but Ori steps in front, grabbing it and-
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"
"Sabing ur waife." he mumbles out while shoving the grenade down his throat. Small amounts of gas leak from his lips but by the time it reached his gullet the nanites had already mostly pulled it apart.
He audibly swallows and shows her his mouth, "See? Problem solved."
[Hostile Nanosurgeons destroyed.: Flesh Administrator]
"Okay, we're gonna talk about this, but after we're out of this place..." she shakes her head and points at the wall, "Now smash!"
...
He shrugs, walking up to the wall and leaning down to lift it. A tug later, he lifts it, raising hte multiple ton obstructions over his head. "C-come on, we gotta go."
"I don't think so." a voice speaks up drawing their attention. They look over and spot a short man with black hair and green eyes, pointing a large rifle at them.
*BLAAM!*
Ori yelps as a bullet goes straight through his chest, piercing his heart and out of his back. Despite that, he continues to hold the wall up, knowing they'd be trapped for however long if he dropped it now.
Hope you bois liked the chap, if I missed anything please let me know. Thanks!

"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?"
