V – choose a reply1ALooking for a braindance.1BHow are things?
V

1ALooking for a braindance.

Wakako

1AUh, any particular one?

V

1AWhoa, now, that's quicksand, so I would advise caution…

V – choose a reply2ACan you get me one?2BKnow who makes 'em?
V

2ACan you get me one of those recordings?

Wakako

2AListen, I've seen what you can do. You've earned my respect. And I want you earning more of my eddies.

2ASo here's what's going to happen. I'll get you what you want, just look out for a package.

V

2AThanks, Wako. Where'll the pick-up be?

Wakako

2AI'll have my guy drop it off in a secure location. Sending you the coordinates now.

2ANo, but I have a pretty good idea who can.

V

2AWho'd that be?

Wakako

2AThere's a store on Jig-Jig Street, it has a pandora's box worth of crap inside. Try asking the owner.

V

2AThanks, Wako.

2BKnow who makes 'em? Where they scroll 'em?

Wakako

2BAnd do you know what a fixer does? Allow me to explain.

2BNot only do I finalize transactions. I can accomplish the goddamn impossible.

V

2BWhich would be?

Wakako

2BMakin' sure the buyer, supplier, and ever-neglected intermediary not only keep their heads in their games but keep their heads. Period.

2BSo don't you ever ask me who, with whom, where, when, why and how.

V

1BHow's things, Wako?

Wakako

1BThis a prelude to whatever illegal favor you're about to ask me?

V

1BWhat? Never...

Wakako

1BIn that case, they couldn't be better. Kind of you to ask. And you?

Scene 27 Judy, V

Judy

V? Editing mode's good to go.

Dig around all you want.

V – choose a reply1APoor fucker.
V

1APoor fucker.

V – choose a reply2AScav – judging by the threads.
V

2AScav – gotta be. No one else with that kind of fashion sense.

V – choose a reply3AScav's a woman.
V

3AScav woman. Huh, who knew that 'sides choppin' people up they were scrollin' XBDs…

4ABeen dead twenty-four hours at least. So they scrolled other shit here, too.

V – choose a reply5APizza's recently delivered.
V

5AOrdered recently.

V – choose a reply6ANobody eats at Buck-A-Slice by choice.
V

6ACoffee was cold… like, from the day before. Pizza looked fresh, though.

Judy

6ASoo?

V

6AMeans someone's grabbing Buck-A-Slice regularly. Which is not something one does for the flavor and fresh ingredients.

6APizza shares its DNA with styrofoam, nobody's gonna schlep across town for it.

6AOK, we're lookin' for an Electric Corp power plant located near a Buck-A-Slice.

Judy

6AEC used to have a big ol' complex in Charter Hill... Buck-A-Slice checks out, too. How can you be sure, though?

V

6AHere we go. Old Electric Corp power plant in Charter Hill.

6AGotta make do with that for now. Nothin' else to garner from this scroll.

V – choose a reply7ACoffee cup's got a logo.
V

7ACan't beat that rich synthcoff aroma – cheap shit. Cold, too.

7AMmmhm. Buck-A-Slice.

V – choose a reply8ACoveralls have a patch.
V

8AElectric Corp patch on the coveralls.

V – choose a reply9AElectric Corp patch on the coveralls.
V

9ACoveralls had a patch on them – Electric Corp.

Judy

9ACould be a costume, a 'prop?

V

9AFactory worker fetish? Hard as hell to believe.

Judy

9AHm... It'd explain the higher thermal readings, too. You could be onto something.

V – choose a reply10ASounds like scavs.
V

10AHeard shit like that before. Sounds like scavs to me.

V – choose a reply11ARadio must've drowned out the screams.
V

11ARadio's turned way up. Probably to drown out the screamin'.

V – choose a reply12APizza box's got a brand.
V

12APizza box... from Buck-A-Slice.

V – choose a reply13ASee an empty box.
V

13AOrdinary box. Decker, Tanaka and Rogers logo...

13AStandard for a trash heap.

V – choose a reply14AUsername is Death's Head.
V

14ACode seems bona fide so far.

14AUsername: DE4TH$_H3AD.

Christ, it's hot. Thermal readings are off the charts.

Judy

Keep looking.

Don't see anythin'? Nothin' useful or important? Try switchin' layers.

Scene 28 Judy, V, Judy Holo

Judy

Hey, V! Hop in for a sec.

Good thing you're here.

V

We goin' in?

Judy

Find us a way inside. I'll hang back, scan the subnet – see if there's any blueprints of the complex lyin' around.

Join you soon as I find something. Let's link on holo till then.

V – choose a reply1A[Get out] Fine.1BWon't be safe in there.
V

1AFound a way down. You see my position?

Judy Holo

1AYep. Be there in a sec. Wait for me.

Judy

1AGot the blueprint – be there in a sec.

1ATry to find a way to the lower levels.

1AHeard shots. You still alive?

V

1AI'm here. Got no time to creep around.

1AAll right. Goin' in.

1BIt's not gonna be pretty in there.

Judy

1BSo?

1BIf you mean to tell me to hang back altogether, don't bother.

Wait...

Never did tell me why you're looking for her.

How do I know you won't be any worse than whatever's going on in there...?

V – choose a reply2AGotta find out who hired her.2BThis is not the time to discuss this.
V

2AGotta find out who hired her. Whoever they are, I need their help… and quick.

2AOtherwise, I'm screwed.

Judy

2AFigures. Wouldn't expect anything less from a merc.

V

2AGreat, I'm glad. Now can we go?

2BDoubt it's the best time to discuss this…

Judy

2BRight about that. Should've just told me when I asked you the first time.

2BI need to know your intentions are good. Simple.

Judy Holo

V, wait... Thought we were in this together.

Got other plans? Fine. Find a way into the lower level. I'll catch up.

V

Still can't shake it... that virtu sample we saw, with the Death's Head moth…

If all they scroll is snuff, then...

Judy

Stop it. They'd have to be utter gonks to waste her on something like that.

V – choose a reply3AWhat do you mean?
V

3AWhat do you mean?

Judy

3AWe're talkin' about a girl who's not only a natural at what she does, but also's got a doll's implant.

3AI mean, that's not a package you find lying out in the street.

3AThey wouldn't just off her like that. Not yet...

3AAaaand here we are.

Think that's a maintenance room. See what I can stir up.

I'm here.

We need to get to level minus 2.

Bet that's where they're keepin' her.

Ugh... looks like snuffs're are only the tip of the iceberg.

Hear that?

Well, well. Not bad.

One sec. Got somethin' that'll keep 'em busy.

After that we slip past 'em...

OK. Now.

All clear. Hallway on your left.

Get moving, V!

Take 'em out quick.

Need to get into the hallway past this room.

V

OK.

Judy

What about them...?

V

I can always just get rid of 'em my way.

Judy

Your call, but you gotta make it now.

Eat it, assholes. Looks like you got 'em all.

Now delta to the hallway.

Building's a monster…

V

Think there's a way through here.

Judy

All right. On my way.

Clear. Keep going.

Beautiful.

I see a way down.

Careful, two live ones there.

I'll distract 'em – you take 'em down.

V

What're you thinking?

Judy

Screw with those pipes, get some smoke going.

Show's about to start. Find cover.

They're on us!

Now! Take 'em out!

V, hold up. I'm close.

Judy Holo

Where are you?

V

Close to the studio, I think. You find anything useful?

Judy Holo

Freed up the elevator. Should be easier to get out of here.

Judy

You really don't fuck around, do you.

Wait one sec for me.

All right, I'm here.

Let's find her. Hang in there, Ev.

You don't waste an ounce of lead. I'm impressed.

If I didn't know you, I'd say you were all over the damn place.

But I gotta admit, never seen anyone adapt their tactics that quickly.

You lead, V. Make sure it's clear, no one around.

V – choose a reply4ASweetly customized.
V

4APreem tech. Guessin' nothing here's factory-made?

4AFull custom, by the look of things.

Judy

4AMhm, good eye, V. Thing looked totally different when I bought it.

4ADisplay went dark after two months, so I swapped it out for my own...

V

4AThen you just went with it? Processor, subassemblies... gutted it like a fish?

Judy

4AMh, that's one way to put it. Final flourish was the casing. Now it finally runs how it should.

Scene 29 Johnny, Judy, V

Johnny

Maybe she's here already.

V – choose a reply1ATorched him in the Net.
V

1AUsed him as a puppet in a virtu that killed him. Then tore out his implants.

Thank fuck...

V – choose a reply2AStripped her for implants.
V

2AGutted out all her implants.

2AAnd why stop there? Took a few internal organs while they were at it.

Johnny

2AHow so very resourceful.

V – choose a reply3AScavs. Never can get rid of them.
V

3AScavs... No matter how many you stamp out, there'll always be more crawlin' around somewhere.

Johnny

3AFigure you've made their acquaintance?

V

3A'Fraid so.

V – choose a reply4AI smell RPM.
V – choose a reply5ASee they're hiring.
V – choose a reply7APropylmethionine.

7ARPM... used to sprinkle it on my breakfast.

Cuffers. Classic. Can't go wrong.

V – choose a reply8ACuffers.
V

8A'Cept these are solid steel, not the softcore, plastic kind.

8AEven if you come here on your own, gunnin' to become a star, there's no guarantee you're ever gettin' out.

Johnny

Back in the Samurai days, we'd place ads in this thing, lookin' for "background dancers."

V – choose a reply9AWow, so original.
V

9ALooks like you weren't the only ones with bright ideas.

Johnny

9AIt was a veritable gold mine of women.

V – choose a reply10AShirt.
V

10AEvelyn's?

Judy

10AWithout a doubt.

That shirt – I know it.

Johnny

Seen injuries like this before. Flatlined in cyberspace.

Scene 30 Voice

Voice

Did you get everything inside?

Voice

Almost.

Voice

What you do mean "almost"? Grab a crate and get your ass moving.

Voice

It's my break. Chill.

Voice

All right, enough slacking around. Get that shit off the street.

Voice

If you're in such a hurry, you do it!

Voice

Looks like no one's taught you your place yet…

I've been chopping chrome for five years and I'm telling you – we don't do breaks.

Voice

Well, I've been here four days, doing nothing but moving crates. And I fucking quit!

Voice

How is going, Foz? This gig treating you well?

Voice

Meh.

Voice

Meh? What the fuck does "meh" mean? Huh?

I sit here all day, doing fuck all... I see your ugly face more than my input's input, you know what I mean?

You know, you could say something interesting once in a while.

A joke, whatever, I don't care.

We have nothing but time to kill in this dump.

What did you last see on TV?

Did you pick up any woman? Get laid?

Let's try food. Did you eat anything good lately?

Will you say anything?

Voice

Ugh…

Voice

Do you know how much our boss takes in from this trash?

Voice

How much?

Voice

Ten times what we make slumming here for a whole MONTH.

Voice

How do you know?

Voice

I've seen his pad. I know.

Voice

He's the boss, isn't he? So he should live like one.

Voice

He's the boss because he can get any pussy to work for dirt.

Pussies like you.

Voice

It used to be that pussies were just pussies... Now we're the ones with our dicks in our hands.

Voice

Hey, what if we stopped losing and started winning for once?

Voice

Go on.

Voice

You and me load the crates into my old beater and take the high road.

Voice

That piece of junk? We wouldn't get past the first intersection before they dragged us out and splattered our brains on the pavement.

Any other genius ideas?

Voice

I hate this place…

Voice

What's there to hate? That nobody checks on us and every day is chill?

That we don't have to stand outside all day in the rain?

That sucks so much, man, yeah.

Voice

No, I hate that everyone here is dumber than bricks.

Voice

Hey, the door is open. Walk out, no one will stop you.

Voice

Or I could just crack your skull, shut you up.

Voice

Who put sand in your ass?

Voice

No one. I just hate it. It always smells like piss on a rotting corpse.

Voice

Take a walk to the docks. Your brain needs air.

Voice

I hate the docks, too. The whole city is one giant rot pile.

Voice

Now the AC's busted?

Voice

Something's not right…

Fuuuuuuuck... shitter's turned into a goddamn fountain.

And who the fuck's gonna clean that?

Voice

We don't have enough methionine for today's batch.

Voice

Relax. We'll add RTL and the weight will be right.

Voice

RTL?

Voice

Erythritol. It's like candy for grown-ups.

Voice

This RTL… it won't make anyone foam a the mouth, will it? Because if it does we'll be out of biz.

Voice

Do you have any clue what we're baking here?

Propylmethionine makes you trip so hard even an Animal would shit himself.

Do you really think a little synth sugar is going to hurt?

Voice

I don't understand why they take it…

Voice

Nobody buys it because they like it. Except for the schizos.

Voice

So who buys it?

Voice

The fucking corps, who else?!

Voice

I tell you, this new one is the next level.

She records the craziest shit you can imagine and cranks the real-feel up real high.

Voice

You've seen this already?

Voice

Are you joking? I'm too young to go insane.

Voice

What's so good about it? I mean, the stuff she records.

Voice

Christ, choom. Do you know what a house of mirrors is?

Voice

Maybe.

Voice

It's like that, that's what she has in her HEAD.

Voice

For example?

Voice

Imagine that you smack her in the mouth. Yeah?

Voice

OK.

Voice

Now when you play back the virtu, there you are, doing your thing, right?

Voice

Yeah. Obviously.

Voice

OK. Except then you see another guy smacking her up. Only it's somewhere else, and different.

And then another, and another.

Voice

OK, that is crazy. How does she do it?

Voice

I have no idea. If they're memories, I've never seen anything cleaner in my life.

House of mirrors, I tell you.

Voice

The hell? You see that?

Voice

Did you see the crowd we got yesterday?

Voice

Uuh... Maybe ten in all? The same as always.

Voice

Exactly. Did it ever occur to you that's a loss?

Voice

What the hell are you talking about? We charge five hundred to get in.

You know what five hundred times ten is? That's how much we pull in per night.

Voice

And how many nights do we do each month? Two? Maybe three?

Voice

So? It's still worth it.

Voice

Not if you count the cost of the implants.

You know how much that junk costs? Eight thousand.

Voice

Shiiiiiiit…

Scene 31 Johnny, Judy, V

V

V

4AElevators it is, then.

Judy

4ANot time to lose, V! Gotta get her outta here.

V

4BWhat's wrong with her?

Judy

4BHonestly? I don't know…

4BJerkin' around the cable probably didn't help.

4BShe's gotta be seriously traumatized…

V

4CShe OK to be moved? No brain hemorrhages, damage to the spine?

Judy

4CDoesn't seem to have any wounds…

4CGuess we got no choice.

V – choose a reply6AWho hired you to contract out the heist?

Judy

6ASeriously, V?! You gotta do this now?

That's Evelyn. Just don't touch her!

If she's recording, you'll scramble her brain. Wait until I cut her link.

Say something… anything.

V

Why?

Judy

It's gonna be OK… You're safe.

I'm here now, Ev. I got you...

Scene 32 Evelyn, Johnny, Judy, V

Judy

What do you think?

V – choose a reply1AEvelyn wasn't completely honest with us.1BWoman who hired her…1CNow I know why they tried to flatline her.
V

1ALooks like Evelyn never told us the whole truth.

Judy

1AYou're telling me?! If I'd known what she'd gotten herself into...

1AArgh, I'm so mad at her!

V

1AHer only job was to record a virtu.

1APretty damn amazing she managed to organize a full-blown heist.

1AAnd swipe the biochip from under her boss' noses.

Judy

1ASo that's where you came in, she hired you.

1AAnd brought this all on herself. On you, too.

1AThere's one more recording.

1AWanna see it?

V – choose a reply2AWhy not.
V

2ASure, why not. Nothing that can surprise me at this point.

2AV, you got any idea?

V – choose a reply3AI really don't know.3BLong story.3CHis construct's on the biochip.
V

V

4AThese people – what could they want from Alt?

Johnny

4AHow the hell should I know?!

V

4AGot no notion whatsoever?

Johnny

4AOne way or another, everything leads back to that netrunner. Finding her's our biggest priority.

4AIf she knows as much as I think she knows about the chip, she can help us out.

V

4AThought you said nothing could help us?

Johnny

4AUgh, just find us that juju wirehead, OK?

Judy

4AWait… you got any idea how to get in touch with the Voodoo Boys?

V – choose a reply5AWhy're you even interested?5BI better get going.5CI'll ask around.
V

5AWhy? Worried that I'll give Evelyn up to 'em?

Judy

5ANo. I didn't trust you at first, but… well, if you wanted to get back at Evelyn, you woulda done it already.

V

5ASo why the worried look?

Judy

5AI just… I want it all to work out for you. You got a plan?

V

5BListen, I'm 'onna run.

5BI'll ask around, make a few calls…

V – choose a reply6AThanks.6BSee ya around.
V

V

6BSee ya around, Judy.

Judy

6BRight, um…

6BThanks, V.

V

5CI'll ask around, make a few calls…

5CLemme put it this way. The Voodoo Boys wouldn't trust a cat if it walked onto their turf… But someone's gotta know a way in.

Judy

5CWell, good luck. Hope you won't need it.

V

4BKnow who they are – who the woman is? Any idea how we find them?

Johnny

4BFuck, V...

V

1BWoman who hired Evelyn... any idea who we're up against?

Judy

1BYour guess is as good as mine.

1BSorry, V.

V

1CNow we know what happened at Clouds. They're the ones who tried to flatline her.

1CLaunched a nuke at her chip.

Judy

1CSo it was punishment? For getting played by her?

V

1CShe knew more than they thought she knew. Couldn't let that go.

Judy

1CSo that's who she was running from...

Johnny

Since when do you smoke?

V – choose a reply7A[Smoke] I can't help myself sometimes.7B[Smoke] It clears my head.
V

7AThey taste like shit and make my head spin.

7ABut once I start somethin', I don't quit.

Johnny

7AFrom one addict to another, I sympathize.

V

7BIt clears my head. Keeps me focused. Level.

7B'Cause when you smoke you assuage my hankering, too.

V – choose a reply9ALet's go.
V

9AIt's not up to you, though, is it?

9ALet's go.

I would've already killed her by now if I didn't feel so bad for her.

V – choose a reply10AYou're mad at her? Why?10BNeed to talk to her.10CHow's she holding up?
V

10AYou're mad at her? Why?

V

10AJudy, I didn't have any other...

Judy

10AI know. It's OK.

V

13ANot here to nag. Just talk.

13BI know it's a bad time, but I gotta ask.

13BYou got any idea how to remove the biochip...?

13BOr know anyone else who might?

13CListen, Evelyn. I really need your help. It's important.

13CIf I don't do anything, and do it soon, I'll die.

Johnny

12AYou're right, this is a complete waste of time.

V – choose a reply14A[Stand]
V – choose a reply15A[Sit] Let's get started.
V

15AAll right, roll it.

Judy

15AData was in pretty rough shape – not all that editable.

V

15AHuh. Glad you managed to salvage 'em in the first place.

Judy

15ANeeds a... second to load.

15AQuality's lousy, but I did what I could.

V – choose a reply16A[Touch]
Johnny

16AWell now, look at you.

11AI'll be the first to admit, this does not look good...

Judy

11AHave a seat.

Johnny

11AGuess we'll find out if our doll really did lose her tune.

11ACome on, V.

V

11BGuessin' you saw them already?

Judy

11BYeah. Had to wrestle to make sense of the whole thing.

11BBut I don't wanna say anything and taint your perspective. You should go in with fresh eyes.

V

11CHow many BDs did you manage to rip?

Judy

11CTwo. Only one of 'em's intact, understandable, though.

11CThe rest... well, they're in the same shape as Evelyn right now.

V

10BI need to talk to her.

Judy

10BListen, I know you've got some serious questions that she's got the answers to. I mean, if I were you I'd wanna know, too.

10BBut it's just not gonna happen. She's completely out of it.

Johnny

10BYou've gotta be fucking kidding me.

V

10CHow's she feeling?

Judy

10CUse your imagination. That place sucked every last drop of humanity from her.

10CIt's not enough she already gave up everything she had, they just kept taking more, and more.

10CShe's in some kind of trance – like she's folded into herself. No reaction to her surroundings whatsoever.

10CI really, really didn't want to poke around in her head.

10CI did it for you. I just want you to know that.

Johnny

Come on. Is it really that hard?

Please, just one. For me.

V – choose a reply17ANo fucking way.17B[Smoke] Fine.
V

17ASmoking's for posers. And it stinks, too.

Johnny

17ASay whatever the fuck you want. But just light up.

V

17ANo.

Johnny

17ANon-smokers are the fucking worst… Just my luck.

V

17BFine, have it your way. Smoke to your lungs' content.

Johnny

17BAahhhh... finally something better than exhaust and the stench of the city. Don't tell me you don't feel it, too.

We goin' in?

V

What? Why?

Evelyn

[db_db][PL][Milczy]

...

...

Johnny

For fuck's sake, V.

Won't hurt those rosy lungs of yours any more than that fresh Night City air, so quit stallin' and start puffin'.

I'm not about to stand around waiting for some dumb whore to finally wake up and realize what she's done.

Won't be lookin' much better if you don't get your ass in gear.

Judy

I'll show you everything – you'll find out soon enough.

Scene 33 Evelyn, Judy, V, Voodooqueen

Evelyn

What am I lookin' out for?

Every single piece of tech I see, security?

Voodooqueen

We need a layout of the whole room.

We will get everything else we need from the virtu.

Evelyn

What about his messages?

Voodooqueen

It is most important that he suspect nothing. Try to be your usual, relaxed self.

Evelyn

And if he starts talking about the biochip himself, should I…?

Voodooqueen

Biochip? Where you hear this?

That is not of interest to you.

You spin the virtu, you come back here, we give you the eddies. That is your ONE job.

The rest is none of your concern. Understand?

Judy

Take a look around, if you want.

V – choose a reply1AHer face – can't see it.
V

1ACan't see her face.

Judy

1AUnder normal circumstances, that kinda encryption's easy to crack.

1ABut not this time. Whoever she is, she's got serious netrunning skills.

V

1AThat or someone's working it for her.

Judy

1AWhat now?

V

1ALooks like I'm goin' on a field trip to Pacifica.

1AAll right, think we got everything.

Hang on a sec. Seen that place before. Haitian chapel in Pacifica.

V – choose a reply2AKnow what these are.
V

2AHmm... think I recognize these.

Judy

2AWhat are they?

V

2AVeve markings…

Judy

2AYou familiar with them?

V

2ANot enough to know what they actually mean.

2AHeard of who might use 'em, though.

Judy

2AWho?

V

2ACould be the Voodoo Boys... But that's just a hunch. Can't be a hundred percent sure.

Judy

2AThe spine-chillin' netrunner crew? Hard to find, 'cause they don't wanna be. I wouldn't know where to start.

V – choose a reply3AFlyers from Pacifica.
Judy

3AMight not be important...

V

3AMaybe... but all of them are from Pacifica.

3ANarrows down our search at least.

Scene 34 Judy, V

Judy

What language is she speaking?

V

Dunno... Haitian Creole? It is the Voodoo Boys…

Judy

Didn't I…? Wait, lemme see if I've got an auto-translator.

Meantime, you try to tune into the phone's frequency.

See what the other side's sayin'.

Try scanning the phone.

V – choose a reply1A[Scan]
Judy

1AGot it. Give it a second...

V – choose a reply2AHave to know what they're saying.2BHeard something about Yorinobu.
V

2AWe have to know what they're saying. Could be important.

Judy

2AFine. Just found the auto-translate package.

2AShould get along fine with your system. I'll install it now.

V

2AOK, Judy. We're good.

Judy

2AAll right. Disconnecting.

V

2BHeard her mention Yorinobu.

Judy

2BProbably why Evelyn buried this recording deep.

2BCaught another name... something like... Silverhand?
