Cyberpunk 2077 - The Information: V Meets Evelyn and Judy | Find The Relic Chip via Braindance | NS2

Looking a little put out there input interest you in a frame. BT

not my first time. Don't remember you cuz I didn't get in through the front.

Huh? Get a load of this one. Right. Rules are simple. Someone catches

your eye, you do not grab them. You find them in the catalog, ask for a BD, and get yourself a box. No recording, no

coping fields when the guards ain't looking. In you go. Have fun. Input.

Welcome to Lizzy's. My, what a sweet little face you have.

Oh, depends what you're into.

Maybe you can. Hey, get you something.

I'm looking for Evelyn Parker. You know she's here. Who's asking?

Name's V. She and I have a uh date. Well, V, it's a pleasure.

I'm Mateo. Uh-huh. So, Evelyn, club's big. Going to have to look

around. Can't do it for you. It's all right, Matteo. I was waiting for this one.

Evelyn Parker, I knew it was you as soon as you walked

in.

Sensson only tequila I drink. H how would you know?

I like to know everything about the people I work with. Either that or it was just a lucky guess.

Mind if we talk about the job? Heard you got something for me.

But not here. Come with me. We'll be in the lounge, Matteo. Anyone

asks, we're not here.

So, what can a horny girl like me do for a hungry?

A little vanilla and sprinkles or can

Dex had a load to say about you. Called you professional, effective, and

trustworthy. I hope he wasn't overselling.

No idea if Dex exaggerates a little, a lot. You got me. Just started working

with him. In fact, I've heard there are two kinds of

fixers. Those with stable crews on long contracts and short leashes. Loyalty and

predictability they value above all else. Then there's the other kind, Dex's kind.

Come on. Can't leave that hanging. Head hunters, they lay their trust

elsewhere. Not in people, but in a thing, their intuition.

They bet on potential. And if they lose that bet, it's the last mistake they

ever make. I'm hoping Dex's intuition has served him well in this case.

Let's cut to the chase. What do you got for me? Your target. I trust you know what it

is. Relic. Secure your soul trinket. Keech in the program. Actually, we're tangling

with Arasaka, making this heist one dangerous, risky [ __ ]

Mhm. Arasaka's poured billions into personality transfer technology. But me,

I just want the data on this one. The chip is tucked away inside Compi Plaza.

The hotel you ever been? Arisaka seems to have quite the touch

with that hotel chain, but I got to say, Compi and Tokyo still leagues above the rest.

The two are identical to each other. Japan's staff, huh, the service can't be

beat. Singapore, Paris, Washington, all the rest act like charity case cousins

by comparison. Well, it's hard to argue with that. True. So, where's this chip hiding

exactly? In a suite on the top floor. The room's occupied by Yorobu Arasaka.

Yorobu Arasaka in Night City. Guess the scream sheets

weren't lying this time. It's on the lips of everyone in the city. Saburu Arasaka's only surviving

son. Air apparent to the Arasaka Empire in town. Please.

Could it be? Emperor is prepared to seed his throne after 150 years. Doubt it.

Only a handful of people in Night City know what the Otisaka's real plans are.

Telling me you're one of them.

Look, if you've got any spare aces up your sleeve, now's the time to show them. Now, this should make your prick perk

up. Yori Nou recently swiped the chip from an Osaka laboratory. He's made a

deal with Netwatch. Aims to sell it to them. Have you spotted my ace yet? Or do

I need to spell things out? Fine. So, no Arisaka security on the

device cuz Yorobu whisked it away in secret. Now, where's he hiding it? Well,

likely in a specialized container, one that mimics an organic neural

environment. On the outside, it looks like an ordinary briefcase. And the case is

You'll see for yourself soon enough, provided we're done gossiping about the Osakas.

Heard a bit about Yorobu. Studied finance and biotech in Tokyo. Probably to please his father.

Mhm. Saburo was grooming him to be his successor. But then Yorobu cut himself off from the

corp. Join the steel dragons nomads from Tokyo. Heard they were planning an

Arasaka coup or its downfall. That flash of youthful rebellion ended

like it usually does. Yorobu returned to the fold, but the bitter taste remained.

You know your stuff. But that's only one side of him. There's another. An

intelligent man who has his own designs on the corp.

Seems to be risking everything with this relic scam. Yes, because he's fallen for the biggest

lie this town puts forward. That he can gain and retain control

of anything.

Okay, what's next? Now comes the best part. Follow me. Got something for you.

Should help you plan. Brain dance from Compi Plaza. How's a brain dance supposed to help?

Need facts, not thrills. Think BDs are only good for fondling

virtual tits. Jacking off too in those boxes. This we know for sure. Okay.

They can be a very useful tool. Good for analyzing details human perception even boosted doesn't grasp.

Exactly what you need. So, what's on the tape? Yorobu's suite. The glorious interior.

You'll need to locate the relic yourself. Hope I grabbed enough detail to make that possible. Hold up. Mean to say you recorded this.

Mhm. BDR implant. Why you object?

Supposed to be Yorobu's pad on the tape. means you were inside. You know each

other. How else could I get all this intel? I know him pretty well, actually. We

have an arrangement. Strictly business. Suits us both, I think. Let's see this brain dance.

Judy will help. She's a Mox, too. Besides, we go back uh years.

V, this is important. Judy's always been there for me. Always helped out. I trust

her. But she's a Mox, not the latest member of your crew. Try not to forget.

So, you'll be a good boy. Tread lightly and keep that tongue on a leash.

Relax. Believe it or not, I'm no stranger detected in biz or life.

Hey, we weren't finished.

Hey, there you are. This is V. He's here for that BD role.

And V, this is Judy. Best brain dance editor I know. Enough already. You're gonna make me

barf. Hey, Judy.

Compiled your BDF. What do you think? Will it do? Still pretty raw, but yeah, ought to do.

Mhm. V needs to get deep inside. That's most important. So, let's calibrate. Tune it to him.

Believe me, I've dealt with worse. Should see the jig jig street porn we got to contend with sometimes.

So, we dropped V inside. Let him look. Let him rumage around, right?

How about it, V? Raw brain dance. Ever taken a dip before?

Look, I'm no beady virgin, but the raw stuff, uncharted territory.

Relax. I'll explain everything. It's less complicated than it sounds. Sit down, settle in, and we'll get you

going.

Got to create your sensory profile first. Okay, hit me. Just promise me it won't

hurt. It won't. Not this time. Now sit still.

Look at me. Going to run the analysis soft. Should feel a slight tingling.

Mhm. Okay, now let's set the optics and other

sensory sticks. Look smack into these two screens. Pretend it's an eye exam.

Am I going to have to do this calibration dance every time? Not necessarily, but it's worth the

wait. Give me two more minutes and you'll see exactly what BD analysis is capable of.

One more sec. Need to get the pain receptor limiters in.

Okay. All set. I need to test your profile first. Tossing in a sample BD. You can

use it to get to know the editor. Now, let me see. Where could we

just use my recording? Why are we wasting time? So we don't risk our necks. Besides

going to take a sec. Got something here. Should be perfect.

Boot it up. Mhm. Let me give you the tailored version first. Let you get your

bearings, then we'll jump into editing mode. Be diving in and

plan simple. Do nothing odd. Don't get creative. You go in, snatch the cash, get out, and we sell the BD to those

psycho freaks from the studio. Got it. Got it. And remember everything

on full blast. They'll spot us extra for a wicked adrenaline high.

Okay, on you go

down. Everybody on the ground when I see you kissing the flooring money now or I

will [ __ ] drop you. I swear to God. Well, hey, now before I blow your

[ __ ] head off,

Slow, deep breaths. Your cortisol and adrenaline spiked, but the soft activated your hormone blockers. Nothing

happened. You're alive and well.

That was too much. Felt could feel the guy's pain, his stress, his hope.

Hope wrapped up in something else. Mhm. Probably took a booster just

before. You'll be fine. Got everything set up. Let's switch over to editing

mode.

I'll sever the link to the BD roller sensory array. You'll be able to look around freely. Whole scene's yours. Full

cam control and analysis mode. So move around, zoom in and out, whatever else you come up with. Think of it as your

own little sandbox. So analysis mode, you control playback. Can even pause

when you feel the need. Then you use the editor console to unpause. Plan simple. Do nothing.

Don't get

creative. You go in, snatch the cash, get out, and we sell the BD to those psycho freaks from the studio.

Got it. Got it. Supreme as hell, right? Well, that's not all. You can speed things up or rewind,

whatever you like. Give it a try. Rewind. Roll it back to the top. Should

I do it?

Oh, good. Neat. Now, try fast forwarding a bit. Plan simple. Do nothing. You go.

Okay. You can also reset the recording. That'll take you right back to the beginning. Try it.

Now, for some fun. This here's why you came in the first place. In analysis

mode, you get to view and even scan details of the envirro recorded by the BD roller.

Focus on the heat. The gun this gunk gets from his buddy at the beginning. Now scan it.

Plant simple. Do nothing odd. Don't get creepy. You got the BD to those psycho

freaks from the studio. Got it. And every

thing on full blast extra for his friend and I.

Okay. On you go. Okay. Right here.

Excellent. Let's move on. Now, heads up. In analysis mode, you can far it out

background noise and conversations if the roller got close enough. This tech records everything, every little detail,

even the sights and sounds the roller was never aware of. To see the sources of the recorded sensory signals, switch

to the audio layer in the editor. Go ahead and try that now.

Okay, good. Now, you should see several sound signatures in the store. Choose one and hone in on it.

Okay. [ __ ] Ah, little [ __ ] Go restock. I'll take the register. How

about you suck a bag of dicks, eh? So, any thoughts? Unbelievable.

Seriously, like what's happening right next to me? Yeah, it's how BD recording implants

work. They pick up everything, all the elements in the background. Then an editor tweaks them, makes them pop. Keep

playing with the sound. Explore it a bit. We'll move on when you get bored.

Sometimes you can analyze extra layers in the raw stuff the roller cyberware picked up.

Like what? E's got Kroshi optics that grab infrared. Meaning you should be able to

grab heat signatures from her recording. Huh. Hella nice. Now, let's wait till

the guy punches out the gunk at the counter.

On the ground, you want to see a kiss in the flooring money. Scanning works on peeps, too. Walk up to

the wounded chick. Try scanning her. All right, next thing. Scroll forward to the

part where our artist gets a lead injection. now or I will [ __ ] drop you.

Now see that? They shot him and he never saw

it coming. But you will. Here it comes. My favorite part of the game. See the

blinking thing over the entrance? Surveillance cam. Must have caught our shooter. You'll see in a sec. Cam feeds

to the screen behind the clerk. Roll back to where the screens in the kid's field of vision, then scan it.

His own chumba shot him. probably planned to all along. Must have got a

nice slice of credit on the black market for a BD like this. BD freaks are ready

to pay a prem for a real flatline. Anyway, if you've seen enough, you can

exit.

Yeah, it's impressive, right? It's too bad most of the BDs we do here are only good for flogging the log.

Anyway, you ready to do this? Look at your wreck. Don't know why.

Let's take a break. Still feel like that kid when Oh, yeah. Think I'm done.

V, there's no time. Get it together, please. Okay. Okay, go ahead. Just need T-Bug to link

in. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Who? Runner for my crew security specialist.

She'll tell me what to look for while we analyze. No problem. I hope. Actually, it is a problem. Not what we

agreed. E. Evelyn, I won't get a damn thing out of

this without T-Bug. Judy, please. Ev, he wants to bring a

runner in. What part of that don't you understand? How do I know she'll only perch in this footage? observe, not [ __ ]

with anything. Me? I'm your guarantee. Yeah, right.

Help me this one last time. I promise everything will work out just like we

planned. Okay, V.

Call T-Bug and we'll dive in.

Hey, V. What's happening? Bug, listen. I got some useful footage from Compi Plaza. It's a brain dance.

Compi? Oh, thought as much. Someone there with you.

Judy and Evelyn, they're chill. They're helping me work through this BD. Uh-huh. All right. You going to tell me

what this is about? Listen, need your help. Got no clue what to look for once I'm in.

All right. See if I can walk you through it. Jacking into your tech now. H. You've got to give me access. Opening

port 1779. Secure protocol. Good. I'm going in. Should be getting my

requests now. Got it. You ready?

A millisec. Okay. Connection confirmed. Now some quick tip ice. And we're clear.

Ready to dance. Fire up, Judy.

All right, V. Eyes open. Got to find out where Yurobu's keeping the relic.

You look like a cut of [ __ ] meat. Are you, Evelyn? She I felt her fear.

Sure got it under control quick, too. I said no. They'll have my head for this.

Then you shall perish for a good cause. But make yourself comfortable. I need a

minute to listen in on that conversation. V could be something important.

Just an minute to finish

soon enough.

Please speak with your father. He's taken a particular interest in this project. He can certainly explain the

reason. My father's a tired visionless old gray beard who thinks nothing will change and

he'll live forever in his tiny frozen bubble. I should not even be listening to such

things. You will listen to this. Sabro is an adult despot, utterly removed from

reality, stuck in some fossilized vision of a world that no longer exists, of a world

that may never have existed. We have not seen eye to eye for the past 20 years.

I am quite sure we want now. Read the documentation carefully. The

relic requires specific storage conditions. You must provide them. Heard

that. Relic docks got to be around here somewhere. Look for them.

Sorry. This

either of us long enough for me to grow bored.

Sorry to make you wait business.

You look like a cut of [ __ ] meat, are you?

They'll have my head for this. Then you shall perish for a good cause.

[ __ ] Camera's packed with new tech. Motion sensors, heat sink activators, IFFF.

You skilled enough to kill it all? Mucho. More than enough. Just need access to their subnet.

Alarm firmware is fresh, but saw excited birds chirping on a BBS. Something about

lots of seeds falling through this civ. Let me generate keys. I can forge their six.

I said no. They'll have my headphones cause.

But make yourself comfortable. I need a minute to finish. The program is still in the trial phase.

Sorry to make you wait. Business can be stupid.

It wasn't long. Not even long enough for me to grow bored. Is everything all

right? You seem tense. Edgy. A moment. It will pass.

I can get to work on that. Just one condition. You wish to make them

Heat.

lands of me. Only one. Focus

on me. Oh, got any candy left?

Step

automated turrets. Latest scanner model. Systems all connected to the server. Can

you shut them off externally? No way. Got to get in. Check out how they link into the system first.

Mhm. Looks like all their security systems are linked to the hotel subnet. We need the flathead. No other way to

shut down these systems. Can't get around them ourselves.

Nope. At least I'm fresh out of ideas.

was pretty fun last time. Bedroom nightstand.

I've got an idea. Be right back.

Very nice. But come here already. Just a sec. Looking for the perfect

thing.

loaded. Safety's on. Good to know, though. Once you're in there, don't forget about that iron.

Ah, you'll like this.

Manual details a special temp controlled container. Relic needs to be kept real cool.

So chips got to stay in the freezer. Yep. Could damage it otherwise. Okay. Switch on thermal layer detection in the

editor. Should be easier to spot where your Nouvo is keeping the chip.

I missed this. You I know.

You might have come to one. I didn't know I perished for a good cause, but

Oh, Donna. Looks like Mr. Arasaka had something to celebrate. You really think

you'll find the chip in there? No way. Temp's too low. Could fluctuate. Nice

try, though. Make yourself comfortable. I need a mini pitch. The program is still drive favor.

Right. Grab the heat sig. Matches the spec in the docks.

Your's got the case here. Guaranteed. Mhm. We got it. Good work. Looks like we

got everything we need. Quit out of the editor.

Get everything you need. Yep, that'll do. Thanks, Judy. We got

it. Later, T-Bug. Nice work today. See you soon. I'll wipe the cash on your data. You

were never here.

Keep it. I'll put it on EV's tab. Portable device for handling BDS. I

already uploaded your calibration settings. Not as sophisticated as what we got here, but should do the trick.

And it keeps you out of harm's way. Clever. Speaking of harm's way, know what I see

looking at you? Walking, talking corpses.

We needed that recording, Judy. The BD practically does our job for us.

The BD will be the death of us. Seriously, if Arisaka finds out you have

it, you're dead. I'm dead. Judy, relax.

Nobody will ever know. Evelyn, please. No shortcuts.

You go that route. Philly will always win. So, be careful. Of course, I will be. Besides, we'll

talk in a bit.

Let's walk.

Thanks, Judy. Really? What do you think? Don't worry. I know what I'm doing.

So, what now? V, do this job for me. I mean, me alone. No

splitting the payout with anyone else. No middlemen, no decks.

If I agree, there'll be hell to pay for sure. I know.

Whatever you decide, it stays between us. I can offer 50%. Eddie's enough to

do whatever the hell you like. I'll be finished. Dex won't forgive a dirt move like this. Dex isn't the only

fixer in town. But my offer is the only one you'll ever get.

Let me think about it. Mhm. If you need me, call. I'll send you my

number. Okay. Good luck. Now go. I need a few words.

How things looking, Mr. V? Turns out Evelyn's recording from Compi

was worth our time. What? Beautiful. T-Bug already called. Said she's working her magic.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're all set. Ready to go. Well, now now we do the job I hired you to do.

Grabbing that vital chip. We'll talk about the rest at the afterlife. See you there.

Great. Be there in no time. See you, Mr. B.

What else did she face?

When you're in danger, stay on your back.
