Session 21: A Rage of Johnny Silverhands

General Summary

After fighting off an Arasaka strike force on the night of Ricky's funeral, the crew heads over to Joe's Garage to determine if Johnny Silverhand is still safe.   Joe's building looks like it had been part of a warzone with Arasaka bodies and assault drones littering the ground near crumbling and destroyed walls. The crew helped fend off a handful of straggling Arasaka soldiers, nearly ending in an encounter with an armed transport AV.   After their skirmish in the garage, the crew discovered five Johnny Silverhands, one of which had been shot in the chest and killed. Additionally hiding in Joe's garage was the entire band of Samurai and Silver Blaze, as well as Alt Cunningham, Johnny's girlfriend and famous Netrunner.   Joe and the Johnny's asked the crew to escort one of the Johnny's into Night City that same night after Alt checked the crew out on the net.   The Johnny's, Alt, and his super agent Tracy Rhodes told the group they had a plan to sneak Johnny into Night City that involved 5 look-a-likes that underwent surgery to look just like the real Silverhand. Each one had a subdermal comlink, and the group agreed to drop one off in town.   Alt informed to group that the Night City Corporation Joint Force issued a press release taking credit for the assault on the nomad market, and claimed jurisdiction under the emergency NC Authorization Use of Force (NCAUF)   The group asks Alt and Johnny to get the message out that Shav is working against the Santiago's and behind the backs of Militech by spreading the Brain Dance recording they got from the Santiago sister.   Maximum Mike Pondsmith gives Riley the Mona Lisa, and tells her to listen to it in private. On the recording deck of the guitar is an audio clip on one half a phone call talking about the murder of Ricky's brother Mario.   On their way back toward the nomad market, the crew overhears one of the Johnny's and Alt speaking about shipments of equipment arriving in Night City.
