"What a shithole." I mutter as I look down at the area that was DogTown from my AV as me and my squad of bodyguards in additional AV's were entering DogTown airspace for landing upon the Black Sapphire, the 'crown jewel' that is DogTown and Kurt Hansens HQ.
Soon enough our AV's land on the rooftop as I stepped out where my men, who were half robotic soldiers and former Animals turned into HMG Toting soldiers with Powerarmor similar to X-02 Power Armor.
Surprisingly beyond the blackwall there were old power armor spec's similar to the world of Fallouts, and using those specs as a base I was able to buy the roughly missing 30% of the specs from the system to make easy creation of this heavy set of power armor and since used by the animals they didn't need fusion cores do to there muscle mass and reinforced bones made it possible to move in them.
What we were met with BARGHEST soldiers, though obviously in a non hostile fashion but very clearly a show of force on Hansens end as I saw the elevator open up as the man himself stepping out.
He saw me and looked over my men as he nodded before coming over, "I must say you really know how to run beyond the Blackwall to get so much lost tech, unless you developed this in house?"
"If your talking about the power armor my men are wearing then I could say your only half right, but we can enjoy the small talk later, we are here for business first right?" I say which he just shrieks slightly before walking back towards the elevators as I follow him while one of my heavy's and one of his enter the elevator with us as guards on the way down.
After about a minute the elevator stopped before coming out into what was his office area but it was more of a lounge as we went over and sat at the leather couches while our guards hanged back somewhere behind either of us.
"Alright, business it is then, so then let's talk about that deal you mentioned back when you began destroying Pacifica." He said to me as he poured us both some tequila.
"Well if I had to guess you are thinking about making a deal with me, but let's here your conditions since you clearly have some." I say taking the tequila and looking it over before downing it all at once.
He did the same before putting his glass down as well, "Alright fine then, I do have some conditions what I want in this cooperation between us is that you give me enough tech to secure my runners to easily pass through the Blackwall without any notice as well a discount on purchasing any and all of your military grade gear, in return I offer 30% of all my arms deals, drug deals and even what the vendors have to pay me to set up shop in the stadium as well." He said giving what seemed like a generous deal but really he was winning more on his end by getting access to the BlackWall for all of his runners.
"If you really want all of your runners to have free, safe and unfettered access to the Blackwall like that I'd be expecting more like 60% instead." I said leaning back but hearing that clearly pissed him off.
"You really know how to play with fire now dont you? There's not a chance in hell I'd be offering 60% to you just for your gear." He said with a low growl in his voice.
"Alright then, how many runners do you have that would be willing to go into the Old Net if they had the gear to ensure there safety up to 95% of the time?" I ask him as I saw his eyes glow.
"All of them."
"And how many is all of them? I need specfics here." As I wasn't taking vague answers from him.
"…. I have 10 Netrunners under me who would be willing if they had whatever tech you have that makes it possible for your runners to get across the old net."
"And that's why I said 30% is way to low to outfit them all with what you want, actually I should ask more since I assumed you had half that number but I'll just cut my losses and keep it as is to outfit them with my company's Black-ICE." I said before pouring myself more tequila before swirling the drink and downing it in one go.
"…. 40%"
"Then only two get outfitted, make it 50 and I'll cut my losses and give half your runners with the Black-ICE, 5 is better than 2 and they can cover much more ground in the meantime, and if you think of it you will make massive profits from any and all data you can collect from the Old Net as a result of this deal, and how about this, I'll be even more nice and remake half of DogTown to make this place more presentable than it is now, even a wall to keep the undesirables out of the to be nice half of DogTown, which will make more of the rich and powerful to actually want to go around DogTown besides your own Black Sapphire." I say to sweeten the deal even more.
Hearing that he leaned back and looked at the ceiling while he thought about it, while I pulled out a Cuban Cigar before lighting it and taking a puff from it as I waited for his response.
About 10 minutes of silence as I left him in deep Contemplation while I answered questions from my various investors on the holo he came out of it as I heard him loudly sigh.
"….. Well Shie you got me, I'll take you up on your offer." He says before snapping his fingers as one of his soldiers came over with a data pad, while I did the same with my heavy getting mine out of my briefcase.
Soon we had matching deals between our two groups which seemed all legit, although there were a few small things that one needed to read between the lines stating that this deal will only continue so long as both Shie Yamada and Kurt Hansen are still alive, along with other minor details around rather specific issues that have a low likelihood of actually happen.
After everything was looked over we both shook on it as we looked out to the rest of Pacifica, "I still don't understand something even though I have seen it myself, how did you clear the rubble and leave nothing but flat land in the old area of Pacifica." He said looking at the area of Pacifica that was now flat for the most part while buildings were beginning to be rebuilt everywhere one could see.
"Oh that? You know of Nanotechnology right? Well I found out that Nanomachines can go and break down non-living material and turn it into blocks of raw material which I hand off to my robots to process into construction material to build the brand new buildings as a result, but unfortunately that's all tech can do from what little I got of the blueprints from the old net, supposedly there were other forms but that data is now completely lost due to data decay and corruption as a result." I say taking a puff from my cigar once more.
"That will be used to help make the better half of DogTown actually look good as a result and cut the time down to a month or two for everything to be deconstructed and rebuilt once more." It didn't matter if he knew as they can't be hacked and I'm now too powerful to be attacked as easily anymore.
But soon enough the money will be rolling in, and Paradise will be formed, and not long later I began to leave DogTown as I arrived back on the roof though I stopped and looked back at Hansen.
"Oh and one last thing Hansen, best keep and Eye on your man Beckett, seems like Arasaka is planning on sending assassins to try and take you down and make him there puppet so they can control DogTown and the Blackmarket for themselves, so take it however you like, just think of it as a token of good faith, from one businessman to another." I tell him before I get back into my AV before letting the door shut and taking off and leaving DogTown for now.
"Now it's time to get the money rolling in."
