With Maine and his crew leaving I went back to the bedroom side of my double apartment with myself giving 2B and Commander White a raised eyebrow as I said. "So. What made you all decide to mess with the apartment? That sure as hell couldn't have been kept silent."
2B shrugged and said calmly. "The hab tower management currently believes that the other apartment is legally deemed uninhabitable due to the prior tenants that do not exist. Being busted for making designer drugs within the apartment."
With Commander White continuing. "With such a tag to the apartment... Legally speaking the neighbors including ourselves and the people on the other side should have been told to vacate as well due to chemicals seeping through the walls."
"But management is an asshole and wants our rent huh?" I said with a wry smile with the two androids nodding, Clearly proud of their deception and I just shrugged.
"Alright, whatever. Anyway, so anything else happening besides the Mega-Corps deciding to shit on Night City with their latest tantrums?" I asked as I took a seat on my bed gingerly as I was still getting used to my much more augmented body.
Commander White shifted with her placing a hand at her hip before saying. "Besides what we already told you. No, nothing too notable as they are keeping their attacks concise and measured at this point."
I grunted in acknowledgment. "Good... Well I am going to sleep off the rest of the anesthetic running through my veins." I announced as I gently laid down on my side as getting used to the Subdermal Armor that had been woven under my skin was going to take a bit to get used to.
The androids just nodded with 2B saying calmly. "I will awaken you early to go to your factory to prepare Jake. Go ahead and rest."
I grunted in reply before doing something I always wished I could do but now I could. I set an alarm via my integrated cyberdeck to wake up in six hours and then I clocked out as my neural web released a signal to put me asleep.
-
Waking up some six hours later I was awoken to the sounds of 2B and Commander White talking quietly with my body feeling a good bit more reactive without the drugs and such running through it. "Alright... Let me get a shower and a bite, and we can go." I said yawning.
We quickly loaded up into my armored truck and I realized that over the last few days, Commander White being an elevated Operator unit had taken it upon herself to become our driver and to help operate the turrets attached to the armored truck.
"Now I am just feeling like a fat cat now." I muttered with a wry smile as I sat in the back of the truck beside 2B as Commander White was driving us out of the city towards my factory in the Garbage Sea.
However my amusement died all too soon as we had reached my factory and this time... It wasn't destroyed by giant roaming super mutants. No it was even worse.
"Hello there!" I called out happily as 2B and Commander White followed behind me as we approached a ground of goons sitting on their own armored truck that had a fucking small artillery canon aimed at us.
The goon's in question being all asian and having tiger tatoo's across their bodies where all to easy to identify as Tyger Claw gang members.
The leader of the group jumped off their armored truck and I noticed at how he landed with his knee's not even bending with the force of the... Probably five something-meter fall. Which meant he had joint or ankle reinforcement.
"You got something special here Choomba." The asian gangster said in a deep and heavily accented voice as he pulled out a cigarette pack from his jacket and then before I could say something, he put the pack in front of my face.
"Take one Choomba, I insist in fact." He said dominantly and I realized the game he was playing. But with a literal small tank pointing it's main gun at me I wasn't in such a rush to spit in his face.
So I took a cig, in between my fingers and said bluntly. "Before you think to extort me. You do realize my facility has several of it's own missile launchers and laser turrets set up right?"
He nodded and said calmly. "Yes I did notice, very very odd however that your network is completely closed. No netrunners can get in without a physical connection, but... Missile launchers and precisely guided railguns can knock out your fortifications should it be needed."
We were both silent for a long moment before I said calmly. "What do you want?"
The Tyger Claw bobbed his head and said calmly. "Fifty percent, and I don't tell my Arasaka contacts you are making Sentry Bot's with all new mods that haven't hit the street's and battlefields yet."
I scowled and said flatly. "Fifty percent of what exactly?"
The man waved a hand at my factory and said arrogantly. "See you did so much to protect all this shit. Making it in the garbage sea and all that, but you didn't prepare for drones that came in with X-ray and laser melters that could open a hole for more drones to scope out your factory."
"So... I want half your fucking production Choom, tell your bosses your trash was getting stolen by scavs, tell them a Radscorpion burrowed up underneath your factory and pushed back production. I don't give loose screw." He raved with a bright grin.
I nodded with a what can I do look as I looked to 2B and Commander White. "See ladies, this is what I meant about this place being a shit hole. I am literally recycling and this dude thinks he can take everything I got right?"
Commander White merely looked between me and the gangster's leader before saying calmly. "I see all to well Jake. Most unfortunately the chaff and diseased of humanity must be cast off for the rest to prosper and bring glory to humanity again."
The gangster's face darkened and his voice rose as he began shouting at me in Japanese. But I just kept a placid face as their armored truck's turret turned from us and with a loud boom his chest fucking exploded into bits of metal and bloody gore as 2B sprinted for the gangster with her Greatsword being summoned into her hand.
Even as the screams of 2B's victims rang out... I was more busy wiping the blood off my face with a napkin that Commander White pulled magically from between her breasts somehow.
"Thank you Commander White." I said as I saw how 2B shattered their shit katana's and their own augmented bodies with ease while I hummed before saying. "White, hack into the leader's head as his neural port is still active and available. Take all his funds and clear any messages about this meeting if you can."
I obviously needed to get all my shit cleaned up and ready to bug out of here.
