 Alright, whatever. Enough. Hey. Pan Am? Did not look up Pan Am mods. All of Pan Am's quest requires you to be standing behind her for some reason. Is it bugged? Let's go to our next quest. Uh, meet with Nakamura. We should meet with him. Alright, here we go. Okay, we're done with this one. Alright, enough of that. I wonder if I can like, scale this. Nope. Ugh! It is good to see you, V. Seems pretty, uh, secluded here. It is appropriate for such a secret meeting. Friend you mentioned here? Oda? He should be here any moment now. Willing finally to give me a speck on him? He's Hanako-sama's bodyguard. Hanako Arasaka's? From the carrier at anchor in the bay. Saburo's daughter. Yes, and if he believes you, we'll next meet with her. Hope he's on a stick with her Arasaka protocol. Just hope he doesn't blindly follow Arasaka protocol. I understand the point you seek to make. But if Oda has until- Dude, I love this guy's voice. He would need no elites, no air support, no one but himself. Trust me, I have seen him work. That's supposed to be reassuring. If it helps you stay calm, you can gaze at the sky. Dude, his voice is so good, it's like- By God, huh, a good sign. He's usually camouflaged. Like the badass Japanese accent is so good. He sounds like a troll? Kind of, actually. Yeah, he kind of sounds like a wowtroll a little bit. Who's this? Takemura-san. Oda, is this him? Your thief. This is my witness, V. Can't speak for myself, you know. So speak. I haven't told you no things. You're not gonna like what I have to say, I need a guarantee. Not gonna like what I'm about to say. I need a guarantee I'm safe here. You are, you have it. V, you can trust Oda. Alright then. Compeki Plaza. I was there the night it happened. Looked like your typical family quarrel until- Your Enobu lunged at Ceburo and started ch- Silence! Not one word more. You will bring death to your door. But it is a truth. Hanako-sama must hear it. My one concern is to keep her safe. In this city forgotten by the gods. Is she in danger? No. No. Yet during the parade to honor Arasaka-sama. Most certainly. I bring you this witness to his murder. And you dare to worry about the city parade? Fool! Correct. Unlike you, I have not yet failed to keep my oath. But you can't ignore the truth. You can't ignore the truth. The only thing I regret is that I came here to meet you. Things Johnny's overhand, but I'm in the middle of something. Price on your head. I do you a favor now. But I can't often get straight to your enobu-sama. Sorry, but what's going to take much longer? Were you in my place? I do no favors. I will deliver you a head to your enobu-sama. Consider yourself lucky that I am not you. You cannot be you're an Arasaka soldier. This is not a request. We remind you of your duty to be truthful to your superiors. Come here to be lectured to by a thief. It wasn't always what I am now. And your friend here didn't always look like a bum. Feel free to join us. Plenty of room at the bottom of the heap. Not enticed? Then do your duty. Tell Hanako what nobody else wants from you. That's a gadget straight. You just gotta tell her like it is sometimes. It is a shame. Nothing will come of it. How come? It should have been obvious. All that is a perfectionist. He most fears to make a mistake. Good fucking riddance. Arasaka whack job is already plenty. Find friends you got. Find friend there. Got any more? Alas. Only him. Why are we trying? No. Can't say we didn't try. We tried. Yes. And obtained something useful. They returned to Tokyo after the parade. Do you not see that parade? It is our chance, perhaps. If somehow we can get to Hanako-sama, we must do a proper reconnaissance first. We'll need a precise map of Japantown. Hold on. It is your turn to call on friends. Do you know a fixer who could help? I do like how they interrupt. I like a lot like the way the dialogue and the voice acting is in this game. I really like how they interrupt each other. They talk like real people. I know the dame, Wakako Akata. No, just a fixer dame, Wakako Akata. Runs a Pachinko parlor on Jig Jig Street. We must pay this woman a visit. Nothing. No, yes. Sure. Why not? I wanted to say no to see what happens, but I actually do want to do this. I may not be good with names, but I do have quite the talent for faces. Where have I seen yours before? On the TV. Very unlikely. But of course. Hideshi Hino. The man. The legend. In the flash. Do you know who this is? Hideshi Hino. The late night comedy host. He was brilliant before he fell off the line. Can you still do your famous better bugger up? No. Come on. You don't forget a thing like that. Wait, what? Just once, please. V, we should go in now. No, no. Do the thing. Hideshi, don't leave this poor guy hanging. This is not the best time. Truly. Wait. Oh, come on. I haven't heard it in years. Peter Bakura. Hino-san. What happened to you? I do not know. I do not recognize myself. Are you happy? May we go? Oh, dude. That's hilarious. Dude, that was so funny, dude. Huh? No, I have HDMI Takamura. Well, well. Who do I spy but V? In my humble parlor, no less. Bakako. Long time no see. Yes. So what brings you here? And your charming friend is? Hideshi Hino. Comedian. Hideshi Hino. The comedian. Stop it. I'm the king of the village. Mr. Okada, I'm afraid of you. Ah, a true gentleman. Ah, shame only. That he's being hunted by all Arasaka's tin soldiers. And you, V, bring him to my door. Give me one reason why I shouldn't notify the proper authorities right away. Wrists too high. They might think you're involved. Those wanted Japanese fugitives hide now in Night City and you got nothing to do with it? Please. We know they're thinking. They'll link you to us faster than you can finish puffin' on that sing. True. Easy profiling. So tell me, and Mark, well, I still have my phone at hand. Right in Japan town, we didn't tell on the parade that's scheduled to come through Japan town. So it's Arasaka again. It is. What I fail to understand is, why come to me? Did Mr. Deshaun not come to the phone? Goro, why is Dex not available, remind me? Goro, remind me why Dex's fat, back-stabbing ass is currently indisposed. He's deceased. Butchered and dumped in a landfill by some Arasaka goon. Real shame that. That a threat I detect? Just a fact. A threat? No. Asked why I couldn't reach Dex, I answered. Just facts. Mark and Sally go later. Good, because you would then have to join him. What's up, Kazador? Okada-san, our intentions are honorable. We need just information. It is a matter of life and death. Everything's on the charts. How much does this cost? My pockets are empty. Clearly. If to you, it's free. Okada-san, what is free often proves most costly? Gonna take them or not. Okay. Japantown. Whole district is to be sealed off for the parade. Dashi platforms, the main attraction, they'll fly this way, high above street level. Along the parade route, balconies, footbridges and vantage points affording good views. Hanako Arasaka, the guest of honor, will deliver her speech from the largest float. She'll do this exactly. Here. Got no idea about security, but given recent events, expected to be tight. Our last parade? Arasaka under covers infiltrated the crowd. Not to mention a smattering of sharpshooters, drones. And if that's not enough fun for one day, a netrunner, one at least. They use the city CCTV to observe everything. Main access point, here. It's an old automated control center. If you ask me, most useful by far. At the end, the floats will float out of Japantown and will be left with trash up to our elbows that no one will collect. We appreciate this. Okada-san, a delightful, mature woman. This information, it could be just what we need. But I'll try to investigate further. I'll stay here some time and call some associates. The moment I learn something new, I'll let you know. Stay safe, Goro. You as well. Until next time. Right, go ahead. Hey, I don't think I know you. I'm Claire. The same dialogue we did. Our tender at the afterlife. Need a driver for street races. Drop on my auto shop, I'll tell you more. Your garage, where is it? An Arroyo on Valley. Lovely spot, you can't miss it. Alright, I'll try not to. If I'm not there when you arrive, just hang. I'll show up after my shift at the after. Ok, see you, Claire. No, this trouble, the net around me? She needs a driver for races. You know it. Damn, someone should tell her she's about to cause by asking this guy to drive. Solve your own problems, clean up your own shit. Go fuck yourself. Be careful who you bargain with. Oh that's Pan Am, people are asking me about Pan Am. Rogue, wanted to talk. It's ok. Hmm, not here, not there. Who are you? Name's Vee. And what is it you want, Vee? All these years, it's really her. Fucking Rogue, just kicking it back on account shit the afterlife. Don't mess with her, she's got MRIs. See right through you, give her the truth. Need your services, gotta track a guy down. Mhmm. Anders Hellman, hot shot engineer, work for Arasaka. Milisec. Anders Hellman, pinpoint him for me. Huh, thanks. Jump in too soon. First, my help's got a price. Second and third, Dexter Deshaun, Jackie Wells, T-Bug. Multiple bells ringing Vee, left a lot of bodies behind. Death walks in your wake, chalk that up to bad luck. There's the bitch I know. Ask her about Saka Tower, how they shot me up right in front of her. You got Johnny Kilt. Gonna go through obits, really? Fine. Johnny Silverhand, zeroed inside our Saka Tower, before your very eyes. Got more if you want. Or we could just talk. Got balls on you, boy. Don't like that on everybody, but they seem to suit you. Anyways, feelings be damned, I've always said. This is pure biz. You need my help, so get those eddies ready. See? Hello? That's like all my gold. Should be enough. I guess I have to pay it, right? Come back tomorrow, we'll talk. Hey, Rogue, I'm back. What about Hellman? Two, please. Make some room. Sit down. Hope you found him. Don't see that often. Determination like yours. Must really need this guy. Matter of life and death. Haven't heard that for a while either. I understand. Fifty whole months is a long time. Really appreciate you and Chad as well. You are all some really great pals. Happy to be able to cack a street. Enjoy. Thank you, Johnny. Johnny, I'm talking to Rogue here, okay? Thank you though. I'll pass. Thanks, but I'll pass. Hell's wrong with you. Good stuff. You're lost. Queen of the afterlife. Who would've thunk? Got a shard for you. Intel. Interesting stuff. Uh, take a chip or something. Let's see what you got. Your Hellman's not on any payroll, not officially anyway. But he does pop up in GNT's confidential stacks. Ooh. It's a Kang Tao subsidiary, Chinese Corp. Kang Tao's been using them as a fig leaf for years. They're masked for more sensitive operations. All that clear? Yeah, I'm just gonna ready to transfer him. How would you know? Chinese Corpo playbooks in open windows. China. True. This looks like the old vanishing pigeon. Decrypted map of upcoming Kang Tao convoy routes. Think Hellman might be in one of them? Thing is, which one? Take a look at the specs on this one. A lone AV, no ground support, no linked cargo manifests either. Weird. Sure. Kang Tao sometimes transport stuff unregistered. If they want to push it under the table. Catch the load on the saving. Already approved in the system, but too low. So definitely no cargo on board. Huh. But there's a passenger list. Kang Tao security detail plus one VIP. No cargo. Transfer from Chianti. Our boy Hellman. That was the good news. There it is. Wait, what's the bad news? So what's the bad news? Bad news is the extraction site. Look, Night City airspace. All this. No way to jack the transport without the NCPD picking up on it. And here, we're too close to Kang Tao. We even give that AV a dirty look. Their backup hustle will be on us. But, right here's Jackson Plains. Narrow corridor just outside the city and just out of Kang Tao's reach. Guess it's your lucky day. Dead zone. I'll grab them there. Gonna need a native to the area. Someone who'll set up the op, cobble together the gear. So a native. No any Hickmerks? Just one. Any Nickmerks? Pan Am Palmer. She can't count on her clan anymore, but she's a true nomad. She knows those lands. And she will help you. Won't have a choice. Won't have a choice? Does not sound enticing. Not for her, not for me. Enticing comes at a price that you can't possibly afford. Can't possibly afford to blow this chance at Navin Hellman. Your operation? Your call. Got a bad feeling, V. Pan Am has to help me. Why does Pan Am gotta help me? I sense a catch. Pretty big one. Occasionally Pan Am moves merch for me. Last job? Well, wasn't a good day for her. She run into a hitch? Complete bust, actually. Lost the goods and her ride. Pan Am will do anything to get the low back. Means her dignity. I know her. Guess I can try to help her. But if we don't know where to look, I mean... We do. I do. So tell me. Let me hear what you know. Rocky Ridge, ghost town just outside Night City. Pan Am knows where. You'll go there, get the merch back. Wheels too. Naturally, you'll call her first. Sending you her deeds. Ah, finally. Let's get out of here. All clear. Thanks. Good luck. Hey, Chad, let's call Pan Am. Hello? This Pan Am? Fuck! V here. V who? V where? How did you even get this number? V's nuts. From Rogue. Kick me now. Forget Rogue, I can help you. What should I say? Forget Rogue for a minute. I wanna help you. It's far too little, far too late. What do you want? You tell Rogue she can eat my shorts. Tell her to your therapist. Eat my shorts, man. Call about your ride and the merch you lost. Interested? Or are you gonna tell me to eat your shorts too? The rail freight yard on Benita Street. The one hugging the city line. We'll meet there. See ya. Hit by cars, dude. What if nothing happened to this guy? Hey, he's holding the gun. Look at the front wheel on the bike. It's not even attached. It got blew off in the explosion, I guess. I wish like a third person did. Watch it, Chum. He's spoiled it. All right, whatever, enough. Hey, Pan Am? So you're V. Where's my car? What's wrong with this one? It's borrowed. It's not mine. I asked where my car is. Help me and you'll find out. Agree to help me. You'll find out. Oh, fuck no. You will not jerk me around. Tell me where my car is. Hey, come on. Calm down. Don't tell me what to do. Fine. Nowhere to find a cargo and your car. You go alone, you won't get them back. And you could lose something else besides. So let's figure something out. I gotta get this one guy. One guy I gotta talk to. A Corpo traveling by Corp Convoy. No, I don't do abductions. Besides, you'd need many more bodies and heaps of gear to take a convoy. It's just one AV. Plan brood will take it over Jackson Plains. In return, info on your cargo. Help in getting back what's yours. We got a deal? I don't know. I... All right, deal. But if you want your thing done, we'll need to get my Thornton back first. So where is it? Why is the car so important? Thought this is mostly about the merch. Fuck the merch. With that ride, I can take any transport job in town. Hey! Shop that at the getnetworks.com. Maybe. Car's in rocky rage. You're supposed to know where that is. Car's there, goods are there. Nash, you dirty bastard. I will strangle you. Who's Nash? Nash, you chew me yours? He hang you out to dry? Do not call him that. Fine. Partner. Partner? Former. If ever. Give me a sec. I should call the client. Convince them to leave the bastard hanging. Going ahead with the deal behind Rogue's back. Brave. Like, that would be sick, wouldn't it? You're fucking dumber than a drum. Buzz, hey. Nash is gonna pass you the merch in rocky rage. The thing is... How'd you get cigarettes? The motherfucker screwed me over. Is she wearing a swimsuit? Buzz, come on. How many times have I moved things for you? And how many times have I failed? Hey, it's not 100% perfect. Wait, this is pretty good, to be honest. I'm definitely too big. So where to now? The Aldecaldo camp. I need to see some of the old clan. Don't seem too excited. That's not your concern. I still have friends there. Get in. Where'd you get the ride? Straight out of some driveway in Rancho? Yes, exactly. How the hell'd you land in this mess? I liked the color. They are freshener and booster seat came extra. You know I don't mean the car. What am I supposed to tell you? That I'm not about to let my partner rob me and get away with it? That my fixer made me look like a goddamn fool? What about you? I needed that clown from the AV. This particular clown's got intelligence. Clotomo doesn't work because like the... I'm running out of time to get it. It freezes the world. So why didn't she tell me she knew about the fashion? Yeah, I agree, Bob. Rogue? You better not to wonder what her agenda might be. Goddamn, I can't stand the bitch. Would you look what the cat dragged in? Is that a ghost or is it just my hangover? Fuck you two. Me, this is Scorpion. Mitch. Two old friends. Pan Am, time's short. Come on. I know. The Raffin screwed me over. I'll get them back, but I need your help. Come with me. I'll thrash them, the four of us. You know we would do anything for you, sister. But now? Now's hard. Seriously? You won't help? Well, the old man told us to sit tight and get those generators back up after the batteries went kaput. So you'll stay put because Saul told you to. You couldn't care less about me. Pan Am, this isn't about Saul. It's about the clan. You know that. First play through, yeah. Listen, we can't leave camp, no chance. But Saul never said a thing about gear. Well, I'll need that rifle of yours. And some of my own stuff. Take whatever you want. And take care of yourself out there. Yeah. Thanks, guys. I'll grab the gear, then be out of your hair. You disappointed? Maybe a little, yes. What's inside? A few odds and ends that should be useful. Take it. All right, that's everything. Let's go. Follow Pan Am. Do you know what your difference is with Saul? Will you come back? Do not look up Pan Am mods. All of Pan Am's quest requires you to be standing behind her for some reason. Is it bugged? Okay. We have arrived. Where's Prison Wimps? We get ready to greet the Raphans. We'll need to improvise. We should scout first to look for anything that might be useful. Found the breakers, but there's no juice on them. Not to worry. Come down. I know how to surprise the bastards. The intersection is powered from that transformer substation, right? The switch gear on the roof will flip the switch there and everything will light up like Christmas. Understood? I'm going to attend to the power I'll toy with the ship. Fine idea. Let's get us some power. I'll look around for access points. Great. They're likely to show up in numbers. We can't know how many. We need to outfox them. Then get to my car somehow. Relax. Got a few ideas. I'll try to play a little game with them at the intersection. Hell yes. Perfect. As soon as they see the lights, they'll have to check who, why, and how. Nova. Yep. First we start up the control terminal below. The gear on the roof is a hunk of junk without it. Come on. We'll give it a boost from the car battery. That should do the trick. Grab the jumper cables from the trunk. We'll boost it from the car battery. Red cable connected. Give me a moment. I need to hook everything up here. Okay. I've got it. Start the terminal inside. And once the power is on in the building, get on that roof. Got it. I'll set up on the tower. We'll have the whole intersection on a platter. You flip the breakers when I give you the signal to do so. Understood? Yes, ma'am. Okay. Switch gear's got power. Prime. We'll have some fun at the intersection. Are you going to finish this? I don't know. We'll see. I'm having fun with it now. This is really good. As soon as we see them, you give us power. Got it. Cover me just in case. Of course. Hello? You see her? Really, really hard to miss. Let's take them by surprise. Just try to do this quietly. If anything happens, I'll start picking them off. Sound good? Okay. So we've got to get the key to Pan Am's car. Frank, should I just shoot them? Oh, God. I don't know how reboot optics works. There's a sniper there. Okay. Okay. This gun, this is not going to work, dude. Okay. We need a freaking, where's an assault rifle? Wait, even an assault rifle is seven damage. Like when I was trying to get in a firefight with them and the bullets didn't. I'll take the wheel. Oh, come on. Leave the driving to the pros. Sure, sure. Leave the driving to the pros. Oh, wait. What? I meant, I'm the, okay. Well, isn't she? Listen, V, it's not over yet. Not? You got the cargo. You got your car. I did not get Nash, who was not in Rocky Ridge. The fucker didn't show. Oh, you're on a vengeance kick. So it's about vengeance the whole time. The hell you know about me? You're not being straight with me or you don't know what you want. Hard to say which is worse. Just listen to me for fuck's sake. I know where their little hidey hole is. We'll take the old unfinished freeway nearby. They will not be expecting us. I'm sure of it. All right. So where is this hideout? A hop and skip away. I know how you feel. Had someone betray me just like that once. And did you make them pay? Never got the chance. Someone else got to them first. But if they had it, would you have done it? No doubt. That's skipping a beat. Let's get this over with. Vengeance. Next in line! Wait, what? Why is the women driving this game as a realistic at all? Did you really think I'd let it slide? Unbelievable, Johnny. Relax. Uh, Minecraft explosive. Dude, I took so much damage so fast. Just charging at them with a sword is like way better. Like if you don't have like the right guns, because like I'm doing like four damage from a distance and I walk up to them and I like slice their arm off. Does gunplay feel better in the Starfield? Overall, I felt like the enemies in both of these games can be a little bit bullet spongy. But Starfield was definitely more bullet spongy I would say. Hello, Rogue. Pan Am. What did you say again? Solve your own problems? Clean up your shit? Nash is dead. One shit cleaned. Happy. And the sixth creep merch? Nash can't deliver it anymore. Yeah, so yeah, I was pretty bad. I'm like... I took my cut-up front, honey. But I guess I'm touched. I was actually wondering if you wouldn't forget about Bizz while you were out chasing down a vendetta. Fuck! Feel any better? Maybe a little. Let's get out of here. You and I don't wanna fight in Starfield. One bitter cold bitch, that Rogue. Think she might have lost the plot. You mean to say she used to be sweet and alluring? Never that. But she's no stranger to the other end of the stick. Huh? You find the car already? I did. Hey, boss. Got your cargo. Come on, let's meet. Sunset Motel. Lotta loot. Let's do the deal and start working on Hellman. Agreed? Sixth Street won't try anything? Sixth Street not likely to pull anything. I'm hoping they know what's good for business. She'll be fine. Chad, what do you guys think so far? I'm digging Cyberpunk, man. I really do think Cyberpunk's a great game. Gameplay is fun, graphics and stuff obviously are great, but more than anything, gameplay is super fun. It feels like GTA and Half-Life combined. How the game plays. Really good.
