Timeskip 2077 :
*Thunk!*
A heavily muscled man with short thick black hair, hard brown eyes, and an almost chiselled face steps out of the unassuming car, slamming the door behind him. He wore a basic blue polycarbonate high-neck that had its sleeves rolled up to display his black Cybernetic arms, black Anti-puncture neotac pants with composite lining, and heat-resistant military boots. (https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Anti-puncture_neotac_pants_with_composite_lining), (https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Basic_polycarbonate_foldtop)
At his waist were two large revolvers with two strangely-shaped Kunai behind those, and hanging from his back in a sling was a large Quadbarrel Shotgun, of the new releases is the 'Colt Zombie Slayer' series. What was different about it compared to other guns? The fact that it used big-ass depleted uranium slugs, which were denser than lead, and far more volatile gunpowder for maximum firepower.
"Come on, we're on a time limit." Ori grouses, prompting David to get out of the passenger side.
The boy-no, man, now stood at 6ft, just under Ori's 6.3, he'd also gained a shitload of mass due to his extensive Cyberware, still wearing Gloria's jacket. (Basically David in cannon after time skip). He shifts the sword sheath on his hip and he approaches the trunk of the vehicle, "Chill out, Luce' said we're in the clear. 'sides, we gotta wait for the others anyway."
Ori just idly nods, a lot had happened over the last couple of months, it was honestly surprising just how much could change if you had the capital for it. After his meeting with Yorinobu and Wakako, he'd gotten in touch with Rogue and managed to find some buyers for his gold.
Did you know gold was worth far more in Night City than in most other places? Because he hadn't. The three or so billion Eddies it should've been after Rogue's part turned into a clean four. He wasn't made aware of just who had bought it, or even if it was multiple people, Rogue made it clear they'd stay anonymous.
After that, you could say the crew went on a shopping spree. Everyone got upgrades, including himself. The new military spec Sandevistan replacing part of his spine was part of it, along with some other rarer implants.
He'd also taken Yorinobu's suggestion to heart, while he himself couldn't get much stronger than he already was, that didn't mean he couldn't seek power in other ways. Hence, the creation of Sekaiheiwa... Yeah, he hadn't come up with the name, you could say it was the trade-off for having Wakako put her name on it. After all, a group of terrorists couldn't start a mercenary company
It was completely disconnected from all of them, and while he funded it, he mostly controlled it remotely with the help of Sasha, Kiwi, and Lucy. The 'Chairman' was none-other than Judy, though, he'd had to make some concessions before she accepted it. Among them were discounts for the Mox and any other Doll shop that required their protection, along with the creation of a small shelter in Kabuki, for anyone who needed to escape overly forceful employers, friends, etc.
Judy wasn't the only person brought aboard however, there was only so much she could do as a single person, not to mention how vital it was for potential corruption to be rooted out immediately. For the role of Vice-Chairman Rogue had helped them to pick someone for it... One Dean Russell, a man Ori had annihilated in the street races a while back.
The man didn't hold a grudge, even if his girlfriend slightly did, that didn't really matter though since he hated Corporations just as much as Ori and his crew, making a fine addition to the cause. With them at the helm Ori and his crew would be able to utilise Sekaiheiwa's equipment without immediate reprisal.
While it was annoying to go through the hoops, that was the essential component of bureaucracy. It wasn't like they could buy military equipment from official dealers without a valid name for it. Even if they purchased them illegally the markup was so utterly ridiculous that it might've bankrupted them if they'd tried that route.
Billionaires or not, that shit adds up.
Ori lets out a sigh at that thought, "They're late."
"Probably just got held up in traffic, can't get anywhere in Kabuki now, place's been crowded ever since it got that renovation." David adds.
"Better that than a ghost town, even than I'd prefer that to the Strip."
"No shot, we'll just have to keep Arasaka from shittin' out giant murder-bots then." he shrugs, "We gon' crack the lid on this or what?"
"Might as well." Ori mutters, opening the trunk to reveal a tied-up Japanese man in a suit.
"Looks up sleeping beauty's awake." David gives the man a prod on his leg, his nose wrinkling when the scent of urine fills the air. "Fucker shit himself too."
"Mmmmphh!" the bound man screams through the fabric gagging him, squirming against his restraints.
"What's that? You're sorry? Tell that to your Corpo friends who sold you out." Ori sneers and grabs the man by the back of his neck, lifting and facing him towards the river a couple meters away. They'd parked under the bridge in Kabuki right next to the river. While it was dark this time of the afternoon, the ambient lights made the place oddly peaceful in its atmosphere. "Appreciate the view, it's the last one you'll be seein'."
"MMPPHMMMM!!"
David frowns, "Eh, shove asshole back in-, ah hang on." he slides a chip outta the man's port, "Go ahead."
"MMMPH-"
*Thunk!*
"Surprised your boujee guy is finally letting us do serious biz. Somethin' change? Must've..."
Ori shrugs, "No idea but I think something big's about to go down if he wants us to act now. Not like this shit was hard."
"Well, the guy did give us all we needed. Access keys and commands for their private channels, security schedules, veto orders, shit, I don't think we could've fucked this up if we tried." David states.
That was true. All they'd needed to do was pull up, drag the suit from his car, and leave. Restricted as he is, Yorinobu how to get shit done.

บท 240: New Specs
The sound of engines signals the others' arrival, Ori and David look over as a car more beat-up than their own arrives stopping next to them. Falco steps outta the driver's seat while Rebecca and Sasha get out the back.
Their appearances hadn't changed all that much, Falco's moustache was slightly more magnificent than before, along with some finer-looking clothes he'd adopted after their trip to Vegas. Sasha and Rebecca had gotten more Cyberware which was visible from the skin-line grafts, but other than that they were the same old.
Rebecca especially hadn't really changed, one would have expected her to grow somewhat, but she'd remained at her demure 5ft. Not that she hadn't wanted to get taller... Her prototype subdermal armour meant that she'd basically need to get skinned alive since her dermal layer was on the cusp of necrosis. Add the fact her other Cyberware was sized specifically for her and would need to be replaced and you had the unchanging loli...
She wasn't all that upset, she knew about her own body of course... Plus, she liked it when Ori referred to her as 'cuddle-size', at least in private. The one thing she had changed was her new external hand augments, basically large slip-on Cyberhand gloves that allowed her to handle much larger weaponry without the drastic downsides. Though, he was sure they were partly in memory of Pilar.
"You guys have any trouble?" Ori questions as they walk around.
"Naahh, just some bums who thought robbing this piece of shit was a good idea." Rebecca gestures at the crappy car they'd decided to use for the operation.
Falco opens the trunk to reveal another tied-up suit, though this one was unconscious with a large fist-shaped mark on his face. "Becca here decided we'd carry 'em..."
"What? You wanted to drag this ass hole kicking and screaming to the car?" she shakes her head, "Can we get this over with? Star-Boxed Lovers is gonna be on soon."
"Star-Boxed...?" David mouthes to himself.
Rebecca catches it and shrugs, "A bunch of guys and gals pick who they wanna date in a lineup, then they fight in the boxing right to see who'll get the chance..."
"Just the men? Or is this a cat-fight sorta thing?" Falco asks, looking interested.
She quirks a grin, "Both. Last episode two bitches almost killed each other for some Latino hunk... Pretty sure the guy was gay though...?"
"Okay... Let's finish up then. Lucy's alright called for transport." Ori states before beginning to push one of the vehicles, the rest of the group pushing the other.
Banging can be heard coming from the trunk as if the suit was aware of what was about to happen. This wouldn't surprise Ori given he'd shown him where they were earlier. "Make sure to hold your breath buddy, or not, maybe you'll grow gills in your next life." he says with one final shove, sending the thing careening down the ledge and into the river.
Another splash later and the Corpos were dealt with. By the time their corpses are found whatever Yorinobu's plan was would be complete. Apparently he just needed those two board members missing instead of dead.
Ori claps his hands off, "Alright, drinks?"
"Hell yeah, finally we're doing something!" Rebecca grins.
"Hey! Din't yar' mama ever tell ya' that litterin' was wrong!?"
...
The crew look over and spots a group of men stepping out from behind the bridge's abutment, onto the path overlooking the river... "Did you guys check if you were being followed...?" Ori questions.
"We did but, these goons must be new." Falco adds.
"Probably followed us when we entered the side street." Rebecca shrugs and hefts Guts 2.0: Zombie Style, "You guys just stand there for a sec!" she shouts over to them.
"I got it... Might as well test my new gear." Ori interjects as his Monowire slips out of his wrists and ties itself around the ring of the kunai on his belt. Once connects he tugs them to let them hang from the wire, electric sparking to life the next second. (They work like Whiplash's weapons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFBYy8PFxHg&ab_channel=TopMovieClips)
"What!? You think you're fuckin' slick with that chrome there-" the leader of the posse starts but doesn't get to finish as Ori whips his weapon forwards. The kunai's added weight allowed the Monowire to function as a more conventional whip, less controlled but far more powerful and with extra range.
The electrified whips slash through the air and cut the leader along with half of his group completely in two, sending the screaming men sprawling to the ground as the survivors look on with wide eyes.
The next swipe kills all but one, causing the last man standing to try and flee. Ori vanishes from his position and reappears behind the gangster however, wrapping the electrified Monowire circled around his neck ready to decapitate him.
A thin rivulet of blood seeps from a single small cut, causing Ori to sigh, "Sorry about that, this sandy's stronger than I'd thought..."
"P-Please let me go.. I dindunothin'!"
"No can do, I'll send you to your pals though." Ori says, sweeping the guy's foot out from under him, causing him to fall on the Monowire and decapitate himself. He retracts his Cyberware and turns to the rest of the crew, "How's that? Not too shabby?"
"Anything's 'not shabby' if you're against goons like that." Rebecca walks over and kicks one of the dropped budget arms guns, "Guys couldn't even afford a decent pistol."
"Too much showing off too." Sasha shrugs.
"Showing off? I killed them all in like, three seconds!" Ori playfully protests, as if he weren't standing amongst a dozen corpses.
"Which is long compared to usual." she retorts before looking up as a shadow descends towards them. Their Aerodyne limo was here.
"Ah, before we go can you guys dump the bodies in the river? I'd rather not have the pigs snooping around where we dumped the suits." Ori says as he climbs into the limbo and cracks open the provided champaign.
"You do it!" Rebecca exclaims, "You're the one who cut them into iddy-biddy bits!"
...
He holds out a fist, "Play for it?"
"Fine, you're on!"
""Rock, Paper, Scissors!""
"Nooooooo!"
"Rock is best." Ori sagely states, shooing Rebecca out the door.
"You'll regret this!"
"Better hurry up or you'll miss your show."
"GOD DAMN IT!"
