Dialogue: Gig: Getting Warmer...

WomanLeft

So I'm supposed to move out 'cause the Tygers take the whole floor?

WomanRight

Any idea what they're doing?

WomanLeft

Just be quiet and don't show your face.

GuardCor

I'd jack her out and be done with it.

I mean, how long can this go on for? What's it gonna change?

Tyger Claw Ganger

Yeah, but then we lose the goods.

GuardCor

This is about principles, not goods.

Chick's taking us for a ride.

GuardRoom

Who were we supposed to believe, huh?

Netrunners stick together.

Had enough trouble with her once.

Who knows what two of them could do.

Just a matter of time 'til she finds out she's trapped.

Then she's ours.

Voice

1AHmmmm...

V

Got our girl. We're clear.

Wakako

Good work. Shipping you the collect.

V

Got our girl.

Wakako

And? She all right?

V

I wouldn't say she's fried, just... lightly smoked.

Wakako

You should've cooled her down first.

V

1AShe'll be fiiiine.

Wakako

1AWe'll see when she wakes up.

V

1BDidn't have time. What matters is that I got her outta there in one piece.

Wakako

1BWe'll see what 8ug8ear has to say. That is, if she wakes up.

Just wait for the collect, OK?

Driver

Go on, love, chuck her in.

Wakako

Well done, my dear. I am pleased. As they say, we will be in touch. Contract closed.

You let the target die, V. Indeed, accidents happen – nothing will change that now. But do you know where the true problem lies?

You let me down, V. You were reckless, just as all of my husbands once were. They passed away soon after. So long, V.

Wakako

Child, I have a grave task for you – the literal kind. The netrunner is still alive, but what happens to her is either a matter of time or your discretion.

8ug8ear is trapped in the Net. If she jacks out, the Tyger Claws stand ready, waiting like vultures to tear her to shreds.

And if she doesn't, her synapses will fry soon enough anyway. I am counting on you, V. See the details attached.
