Chapter 214
I clicked onto the Comm call we were all using as I looked away from rechecking the scope. *Check in.*
*All clear.*
*Nothing here either.*
*Same as before.*
I nodded and continued to scan the area. It was Section 9’s work day, and we’d gotten a bit of a different gig than normal.
Fujimura was our client this time. Apparently a few too many of his shipments of product had been hit, a bit too routinely.
Shipments of drugs of course, but I was doing my best not to think of that. Either way, he’d wanted a group off the TC radar, as he suspected another internal issue. Basically he thought he had a mole, so he was doing the old tell different people different things trick.
Rebecca and Hiromi were across the street, hanging out inside a shop, snacking and chattering away.
Malcolm and Ichi were both in vehicles, Ichi was in his box truck, and set up down one side of the street, and Malcolm in an old beat up clunker was down the other. If there was an attack they’d either block the street, ram them, or just start shooting.
While I was sniping.
One hundred feet off the ground, dangling upside down from a walkway between two buildings.
I had planned on something a bit closer to the ground, but honestly, this was the most out of sight location to snipe from.
Blending in among the shadows of the bottom of the walkway I side eyed the strap that was my fail safe. Luckily there was a bunch of piping under this thing that I could cling to, and strap myself into.
Hanging by my legs from some old electrical conduits wasn’t the most comfortable thing, but no one could argue that I wasn’t in the most literal overwatch position of my life.
Far down below was a row of street shops. Including the TC’s little drug operation.
It was quiet, I reached over to the bag I’d carried up here, and fiddled around without looking away from the ground, grabbing a soda.
I’d been up here for a while, so as I’d learned from the few other times I’d done any sort of overwatch stuff. Bring snacks.
My eyes narrowed as I stilled.
*We’ve got movement. Hiromi get secure.*
I listened as everyone confirmed and moved to their positions. A trio of Tyger Claw vehicles had just pulled in, but Fujimura had been very clear. No one should be arriving here unless they were the traitor.
I quickly checked my scope, and took a few pictures through the amplified image and sent them to Fujimura.
*Motoko: Movement, and people.*
*Fujimura: They are traitors, take them out.*
*Fujimura: Where are you taking this image from?*
I ignored his question as I realized I wasn’t in position, hand not on my rifle, and holding a can I couldn’t easily get rid of...
Well actually. I took aim, this wouldn’t be an easy shot. Narrowing my eyesI tightened my legs to keep myself stable and fired my shot.
The Ni-Cola went flying through the air, freeing my hand, as I adjusted and brought up the Nekomata.
Malcolm and Ichi would be moving into position, while Rebecca opened her bag with her HMG she would be opening up with from across the street.
I took aim... Then adjusted a bit so I could watch the can.
“Come on... Come on!” I whispered, waiting as it sailed down and down and-smacked into the ground at one of the idiot's feet.
Fuck.
Okay it was fine, no one would ever know. I took aim, charged my rifle and fired.
The Nekomata slug nearly instantly smashed into one of them from above.
*500 XP Gained.*
I shifted and fired again.
*500 XP Gained.*
The rest scattered, but Rebecca was soon joining in, and the Tygers took cover from her, meaning that they were easy pickings from me.
We didn’t take long to clear them out. One of them jumped into his Shion, escaping from Rebecca’s HMG by driving as erratically as he could until he came back up onto the street. ŕÁƝŎβЕš
I tracked him the whole time. Nekomata on target just waiting, and then Malcolm was there slamming into the side of the Shion... Honestly that was a bit of a mistake probably, that Shion would be good loot.
But Malcolm opened up with his Shingen and I watched the smart rounds battered into the damaged glass, and then... Well considering the car just sort of drifted until it hit a post from there Malcolm got him.
Nice.
*Check in.* I called out just to make sure.
*I’m fine.*
*Not even a scratch.* Rebecca and Malcolm called out, and Hiromi and Ichi both checked in just after.
*Great. I’ll let Fujimura know, let’s lock our loot down. Ichi bring in the truck... I’ll be down soon.* I said as I looked around my little hidden space, grabbing my little bag I put it on my back, and tightened it down while strapping the Nekomata down a bit more as well. Then I slipped out, hanging a hundred feet above the street by my hands. I slowly monkey gymed my way down towards the building, and then slipped onto the small ledge at the end, and used that to slide along until I could jump fully onto the walking path.
I adjusted my netgogs, so I could ignore the people that were looking down over the side to try and find out where the gunfire had been coming from, ignoring the gasps I turned and headed into the building where I had already set up an elevator access key.
Not long after a quiet ride down to the ground level I met up with everyone.
To my irritation NCPD actually showed up.
To my relief Hiromi was already throwing paperwork at them and the two cops seeing the carnage didn’t look very interested in pressing into things.
I walked past, to meet up with Hiromi getting a bit of a startled jump out of one of the officers as they hadn’t noticed me approaching from behind.
“Got everything here?” I asked, and Hiromi nodded.
“Yes, everything is in order. NCPD are just verifying.” She offered with a smirk, and I knew she would be fine.
Hiromi had done a ton of paperwork in setting up Section 9 as a merc company. The fact we had actual paperwork and weren’t just a group of street kids meant we were already a step ahead of the norm.
Walking over I caught up to Rebecca who was keeping an eye on Hiromi, but hiding her HMG under a small barrier so the cops wouldn’t notice it.
“Everything good?” She asked me and I nodded. @@@@
“Yeah Hiromi has got it. How’s clean up?”
“Not great. The cops got here quick. We didn’t manage to get the good stuff just yet. Malcolm and Ichi managed a few chips, and the weapons. We might lose the vehicles.”
“Maybe.” I agreed and walked on, to check on the boys. Both of them were sitting in the back of Ichi’s truck and I noticed a pile of boxes and things stacked up just behind them...
“What’s behind the boxes?”
“Nothing. Especially if it’s a cop asking.” Malcolm told me with a smirk, and I couldn’t help but snort. The two HMG’s that were in the back of the Van just in front fo the boxes would make a pretty firm fuck off, for anyone that wanted a peek.”
“Alright. We might go light this time, but I’m going to see what Hiromi can do.”
“You got it.” Ichi agreed, already looking bored, but pleased.
This would be good eddies for us.
Now it’s just time to wait.
—--
“Uuuuugh.”
“Sorry.” I told Rebecca who was hissing and spitting in irritation at the NCPD.
“It’s fine. Whatever.” She grunted as she continued to kick out with her legs like she was killing someone.
Hiromi had got us out without issues, but the bodies, and vehicles had gone straight to the Lotto. Well the bodies and cyberware anyways, I’m fairly confident those cars would end up sold back to the TC or something.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
Either way we got out with some loot, and we had completed a gig, quick and easy eddies were my favorite.
Especially when I got to kill some gonks for XP for it.
We were set up down the street, having left the crime scene as the cops called it once everything was cleared up just to avoid any officers deciding to search us, or something.
“I’ve spoken with the client, payment has gone through, he is very happy.” Hiromi called out as she stepped out of the Quadra that she’d been camping in.
“Hell yes!” Rebecca was the first to jump up and shout. Her previous bad mood completely disappeared as she laughed into the air as Hiromi started passing out Eddies.
“Well that was fun. Glad this wasn’t like a multi day thing again.” Malcolm called out stretching as he threw a soda into the trash. “We wanna have a party tonight?” He asked, but the general sense was pretty meh.
“While this gig was easy it wasn’t like we did anything super cool.” I offered, only to get jabbed in the ribs by Rebecca.
“Says the insane girl that was hanging from the sky!”
“Yeah that was pretty cool.” Ichi added, “And Malcolm flatlined a gonk.”
“Hell yeah I did!” Malcolm laughed thankfully unbothered by his murder.

Near the end I finally saw it. A shift in adaptation, and a little message next to my Condors.
“Point redeemed... Huh?” I hadn’t expected that. Sure I’d lowered Adaptation before, but... So if I pushed a bunch of adaptation points into a stat before I’d settled it, I could get those points back?
That was honestly a huge relief, even if I had decided a long time ago to just accept losing them, getting some points back?
Hehe!
What should I level up? I’d done my Sandy last time... Ugh, the deal I’d decided was Adaptation and Stat, but I was really tempted to put another point into my Sandy now!
The elevator opened and I headed out, half skip in my step as I was quite happy with the update. No, I should stick to stats for now. Besides I had a lot of stats maxed out without using a stat point...
Do I level Intelligence, or start pushing another stat beyond 10?
I instantly looked at Cool, but unfortunately, I didn’t have any of the cyberization for Cool to go beyond 10 anyways.
My eyes drifted to the small hud that I had for my Kiroshi, it was pretty early, but Vik would be awake by now... Did I want to go on a new cyberware hunt?
I sighed and shook it off, no. I would need more stat points for more adaptation for that. What I needed more than anything was cold hard numbers.
The idea sent a thrill up my spine.
Numbers? Numbers I could do. I dropped the point into Intelligence. Enjoying the nice 14 (14) number listed.
I had plenty of skill points, and I could easily pump up my netrunning now, even Programming could go up!
But more importantly, I had a lot of netrunning stuff I’d been putting off including the IP of an old server I could explore, and the Netrunning arena, which I’d been basically ignoring for a bit.
I’d been planning on focusing on my blades for a bit, but...
Well! This was fine too! Let’s get some lunch, and bug one of the chooms to come watch over me! Time to dive into the net!
