ACT II Session 2
General Summary
Summary
The session began in the aftermath of a harrowing encounter with FIA and Militech, where the crew found salvation through a fixer named Ice Grave. After a week of recovery, they convened with Ice Grave and Headhunter to discuss troubling new intelligence. The situation had grown more precarious as their faces had been exposed through recovered body cam footage, making them prime targets for fixers throughout Night City. In response, the group worked diligently to spread counter-rumors while investigating a disturbing development involving Biotechnica's creation of a chemical capable of controlling citizens through their cyberware.
The crew's investigation led them to explore various leads, including a venue called The Spire and a performer named Vox who potentially had ties to Militech and FIA. Headhunter briefed them about a dangerous upcoming mission that would require infiltrating a Militech facility to retrieve a file designated 'RVT-lock.k1'. During a routine drive, their situation deteriorated when suspicious bikers began tailing them, culminating in a sniper attack that damaged their El Camino and left one crew member injured.
What followed was an intense vehicular battle through the streets of Night City, with four mercenaries on motorcycles in hot pursuit of the crew's El Camino. Rocky, the corporate bodyguard, demonstrated his combat prowess by successfully eliminating one of the pursuing mercs. Sugar showed quick thinking by using a fire extinguisher to blind another pursuer, while the chase intensified with attempted ramming maneuvers. The situation became even more complicated when a mysterious woman on a motorcycle appeared and opened fire on the driver.
The chase evolved into an all-out combat scenario as the crew faced off against their pursuers, including a skilled opponent named Valkyrie. The battle raged with a mix of gunfire, grenades, and close-quarters combat through the neon-lit streets. The confrontation reached its climax when Rose delivered a decisive final blow to Valkyrie, ending her threat permanently. Upon searching Valkyrie's body, they discovered her agent, which revealed her connections to a fixer named Grin and exposed a Militech contract worth 5000 eddies for each crew member's head.
The crew's subsequent investigation of a recovered personal shard unveiled a web of connections and communications between various figures including Iron Jaw, Kai, Juno, and Angela Reeves. The data contained crucial information about loans, drone technology, and a potential mission involving an NCPD officer. Among the most intriguing discoveries were photos of a cargo container in the Old Combat Zone, complete with precise location metadata. The investigation also exposed links to a Tiger Claw smuggling operation and detailed information about various bounties, adding new layers to their already complex situation.
