As the police officers leave the car to fight this woman, what seems to be Chris, puts both Rowan and the girl, who was still hot from the heat, in the NCPD police car. The insane woman just wouldn't die, as Chris left with the car, the NCPD didn't care as MazTach showed up as well as literally 100 other police cars behind Chris as he was driving through the chaos the insane woman is creating. In the eyes of Chris, his HUD shows multiple tabs open about Ripperdocs, one in particular, Viktor Vektor was crossed off as he is under V's protection the prompt says, so Chris drives to Sogo Watanabe's clinic. He makes it to Allen street, passing The HO-OH's building, and stops in front of a stairway leading underground, then goes in the back to grab Vicky, then he carries her by her back, going into a staircase that leads to the clinic underground. When he walked through the door, both a woman and a man burst into flames and screamed in agony, it sounded like thousands of different people screaming in pain at once. He then walked through room 1237. Sogo, ready with a shotgun, yells, "I told you, there is no soviet spy"! As a woman to the right of Chris standing on a bed half naked, burst into flames and dropped her knife and screamed in agony. At the same time, Sogo burst with a red electrical shock. He drops the shotgun, his eyes turn blue, and he starts to prepare the operating table. Chris gently lays down Vicky, and leaves.
He drives the unconscious body of Rowan to Chris' apartment. Up there, he tied Rowan to a pillar next to the couch. He then directly connected to the net using the triple monitor set up next to Rowan. His HUD showed files being updated. He then closes his eyes.
After a couple hours, Rowan woke up. His eyes squinted as he felt a pulsing pain on the back of his head. The first thing he does is examine his surroundings. He attempts to look behind him, and sees Chris still connected to the net. He starts fiddling with the ropes. He can't reach the knot, so he puts his hand in a position to dislocate his thumb. In the corner of his eye he sees Chris start to move. He notices two blue reflections on the right hand side monitor. Chris then pulls out what looks like an EpiPen, and shoves it in his chest, sounding like a defibrillator. The blue reflections disappeared.
"Oooh-My God everything hurts! WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO MY WRIST"! Chris tried to stand up but ended up falling backwards onto the ground. As he slides back, his eyes meet with Rowan's. "Rowan BlackMask"? Chris says. Rowan picks up his foot and kicks Chris in the face. "What the fuck"!? He says as he pops his nose back into place. "YOU! What the hell is wrong with you, why did you bring me here"! Rowan yelled angrily. Chris sat up, and propped his arm on his knee. "Bring you here? I'm supposed to have a meeting in the afterlife. I don't know how we got here". Chris said calmly. "Does that have something to do with your blue eyes? Because they aren't blue anymore". Rowan said. "Blue eyes"? Chris said as he rubbed his chin. I've already broken free "I've already broken free". Chris froze. Tears start falling down his face. "No, no, no, no". Chris said as he desperately wiped away his tears. "Quit your crying and tell me why you brought me here". Rowan sternly said. "He quickly stopped and explained everything that Raphael told him. "I see". Rowan said as he got an idea in his head. "You want to destroy Militech as much as I do, so I have a proposition, help me find a sneaky way into Militech tower, and I will get the evidence that I need to bring them down". "I don't want to go through the legal system, it sucks, i say we storm the tower" Chris said. "If we do that we die, even if we have a squad team that wont stop Militech. It didn't stop Arasaka, I almost lost my mentor Morgan Blackhand to the raid". Rowan explained. "How do you know him? he died in 2022 right"? Chris asked. "Thats is what is believed, but no he didnt die. i met him while investigating a secret Militech operation when i first became a police officer. He taught me everything i know about martial arts after he kicked my ass". How about we unleash the black wall through the old net running set up under Militech tower "How about we unleash the black wall through the old Netrunning set up under Militech tower". Chris grabbed his head and mumbled to stop. "The old net doesn't affect me, so I'm all for it". Rowan said.
Now that we've come to a compromise, untie me". Rowan said. Chris was reluctant because it wasn't how he felt, but agreed because Rowan had a good point about the Arasaka raid. After Rowan was untied, Chris reached to shake his hand. Rowan took the chance to put on a tracker bracelet on his wrist that was nearly impossible to take off without an encryption key. "What the hell i thought we had a deal"? Chris firmly said. Rowan then shook his hand, "We do, that tracker is in case you go back on your word". "Could fucking warn me next time"? Chris said. "Get over it. I'm going to call Rogue, see if we still can't get her on our side" Rowan said. He spoke on a touch screen phone from over a century ago. After he hung up he said, "Rogue will be storming Arasaka tower". He said face palming. "I guess we are on our own". Chris thinks for a second. "I have an idea on how we can get in". Chris said.
