Some say there is no war, we’re just returning to normal. There’s no North and South California, no free cities, there’s just one vast, great United States of America - not the New variety, but the real United States, the ones that always have been and should be, forever and ever, amen.
Others say Arasaka’s a foreign organization inherently hostile to our interests, while at least Militech is one of “ours”, homegrown; if someone’s gotta screw us over, better a fellow countryman than a foreign entity.
Still others maintain that only as a Free City will we be truly free as Americans, that it would be better to die than to let anyone tread on a single Watson sidewalk or touch a Pacifica fire hydrant
Anyway, I couldn’t give two shits about all that talk. All of them, all of the above and all the other opinions that I haven’t even heard of yet. I’ll be sitting here until they decide who won and who lost, and if I’m an NUS citizen or a proud citizen of Night City. I couldn’t give the slightest fuck; I’ll be whoever they like.
I just don’t want to catch a bullet from any side.
