Holy shitballs! We're Cyber Beat Takeshi and I definitely agree with the PL comparison. Also getting mad 90s Japanese body horror vibes. Self-identify as Tetsuo

Leave and raise funds You could work part time at a Soya shack for a few weeks and save up... or do a few "odd jobs"... or just mug some poor gently caress. There's always a way to get creds. C.Bargain Maybe you could trade in your gun for store credit? There don't seem to be surgical facilities anywhere nearby but you could certainly try to throw in a limb or two as well. Or just try a few good old fashioned negotiating tactics to knock the price down.

B. Let's see what kind of money-making opportunities there are out there for an augmented guy who may or may not have dissasociative personality disorder and whose augments may or may not be glitching out, possibly due to lack of firmware updates and/or their origin from a cheap knockoff supplier. Wearing a prison jumpsuit. Something tells me we may not be getting into office work.

Y'know, I'm starting to think that we really are just buying a rare piece of abandonware and our actual contact is upstairs somewhere wondering what the gently caress is taking us so long.

Ourselves. Well, really, the corrupt, alienating, and oppressive capitalist system. But the answer you're fishing for is "ourselves"

Fear. I'm not safe out there, and I thought this was where I needed to be. Duty. There's work to be done for all our sakes, and if I don't do it, who will? Identity. I've lost mine, and I don't know how to find it again.

Uncertainty. We don't know who we are, we don't know why we're doing this, we don't know if we'll be able to afford it without losing something important, we don't know if this is really what we're supposed to be doing and we don't know what will happen to us after we do it.

The questions worm their way into your head, where they twi- st into a swirl of voices. You steady yourself and take a deep breath. Here goes: "I'm fighting! I'm fighting to stay myself. Fighting for a cause I don't remember signing up for but that I know is right! Fighting to push back the doubts and fears and loving brain eating parasites that want to leave me huddled over muttering in a dark corner somewhere!" The screens go blank once more, only to be refilled with flowing data. Your host stares at you, unfazed. After a pause, she speaks: "ғɪɢʜᴛ with me. Surrender your ғʟᴀᴡs and be made ᴡʜᴏʟᴇ and sᴛʀᴏɴɢ. You will be a weapon of ᴡɪʟʟ and ᴍɪɢʜᴛ. I offer an ᴇᴍᴘʟᴏʏᴇᴇ ᴅɪsᴄᴏᴜɴᴛ and a ᴄᴏᴍᴘᴇᴛɪᴛɪᴠᴇ ʙᴇɴᴇғɪᴛs ᴘᴀᴄᴋᴀɢᴇ." Is this.. a job offer? Accept Refuse

Offer this deal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-x0qghlvfE&t=3208s (Start at 53:10 if the link fails) Though given how super hosed up we are right now, I don't see us having much alternative. It's this or go back on the streets, and wait for another system crash which gets us thrown in a pauper's grave... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_hrYz_2uAk&t=36s (Start at 36s)

I'm not agreeing to anything until I see that copy of Windows 2077. Time to lay it out on the table; clearly, the last 'job' didn't go as planned, and my cyberwear is about to crash. So, if you want to keep the underground alive, time to come to table with more than just cryptic nonsense and a nostalgic UI. Drop the charade Gates, I remember who's in there.

You have your doubts, but your host's offer is too tempting. She's promising you something other than crashing augs and petty crimes. She's promising a chance to fight, and win. "Alright. Now about the benefits pack-" Thick cables whip from the gloom. They pause, seeming to hesistate... only to split and then split again, becoming hair fine as they plunge toward you! They don't stop when they reach your skin, burrowing deeper into your flesh, into your n̨̡̠̱̩̠̉̓͂̈́ͣ̐͞e̡̝̬͍̼̼̼ͪͬ̾̒̋̕͠r̷͕̯͍̪̝̥̘̗̥̓̈̑ͬ̌͟v̶̛̛̹̗̱͛̊͗̎̓̋e̯̙̲̘͕͎̜̔̏́͝ś̗̠̬͈̗̤ͬ́ But your focus is elsewhere, as more fine wires(?) come ever closer to your eyes They slip in and around, and the inside of your head w̸͕̱̣̒̂̀͞r̢̰̫̗͔̙̠̞̘̈́̓̓i̺ͫ͋̾ͧͯ̚͞t̢͖ͣ̐͛ͫ̉͊́̕h̢̢͙̻ͨ̐ͦ̽̿e̠͌ͮͨ͌ͯs̶̛̖͈̩ͮ̂ͭ͞ You freeze You burn Then you feel nothing at all.
