Chapter 1
A Nebula of chaos
April 16th, 2013
11:26pm
"The wolves are at the door
Forever and evermore
A nightmare that we've lived before
The wolves are at the door
The day they came they took it all
A people robbed, their future gone
A toxic state, we watched it roll
That downward slope like ancient Rome. The towers falling down, down, down
A path of no escape
Down, down, down
A path of no escape!"
The speakers blaired in her ears as the ground shook from the crowd, A young woman stands outside arasaka tower as the man on the stage screams the lyrics into the mic. She feels some tinge of rebellion in her as she pumped her fist in the air with the music. "Fuck yeah! Start the riots!" The man on the stage yelled as the crowd began to assault the gaurds by the stage, throwing garbage and braking glass, working her way up to the stage before he had a chance to run,the young woman grabbed johnnys leg, her robotic hand wrapping itself around his ankle.
Looking back down at her from red tented glasses he'd aim a pistol down at her, she staired in awe up at him. " You wanna start some shit?! Then fucking go start some shit kid, I have more important problems right now." He'd toss the pistol down to her as he walked off, pulling another pistol from his side as he ran off into the building, throwing a flare into the entrance. She'd stand a moment examining the pistol, it appeared to be solid titanium and chambered in a high caliber, 14mm. As though no time had passed, the young woman turned her attention to two by standers being beaten by arasaka troops. She took aim and fired two shots at the gaurds. They dropped as the two civilians got off the ground, grabbing the batons from the gaurds now lifeless corpses. She'd then fire a shot in the air and scream, "Fuck you corpo bastards!!!" as the night went on, the crowd began braking windows and bones of gaurds until a metal canaster was thrown. "Shit, they're trying to gas us!" A voice shouted from the crowd as it began to disperse. The young woman ran as fast as her legs would carry her, back to her home in Arasaka Plaza.
Chapter 2
A Chain Reaction
The morning ran on as the woman approached her residence, a penthouse in Arasaka Plaza. Upon entering shed tuck the magnum into her waste and cover it with her jacket before making her way upstairs to her penthouse. As she opened the door a light flicked on, "Kelly Evans! Where have you been?!" A grizzly toned man shouted from the kitchen. Feeling her pulse elevate Kelly would stutter,"I-I worked late hours last night then went for a bite to eat...you know how they are at the labs, right dad?" The feeling in her gut wouldn't go away, that somehow corpo life was no longer for her. "Be that as it may, you should have been home sooner. There were riots last night, people died and the damage done to the tower will take at least a week to fix. Speaking of the labs, your brother has somthing to discuss with you." He'd sigh and shake is head as he sipped some orange juice, still in his robe from the night before. Letting out a sigh Kelly would head to her room and flop onto her bed. Laying and staring at the ceiling a moment she'd remove the pistol from her waste belt and remove the magazine with a press of a button. Racking the slide she'd take the bullet from inside and look at it. It was large to say the least, and black tipped. Placing the round back in the magazine she'd examine the pistol again, the side of the barrel read
Malorian 3516, 14mm
Silverhand Custom [Pat: X1JS/001]
Malorian arms. Night City cas.10
"Silverhand...where have I heard that name..?" She'd think to herself as there was a knock at her door. She'd quickly hide the gun and mag under her pillow and sit a moment as she sighed, "come in." The door opened and a brown haired young man entered the room, "hey sis, how was work hmm?" His words dripped with poison as he stood, hands in his pockets and a smirk on his face. "Pop's tell you the news yet?" Her face twitched as she staired at him a moment," What news? About the riots earlier?" His smug demeanor turned to a confused one, "Riots? No,no,no. I'm talking about Arasakas Tech division and who runs it." "Well that'd be me, Shawn." Kelly would point to herself. "Not anymore, effective immediately the head of Arasaka tech is none other than yours truly. Dad managed to pull some strings and get me appointed," The smugness returned. Kelly could feel the anger and rage building inside her at that moment, Shawn, her brother her family adopted and swaddled and spoiled since he was a child was now taking her position. "And my first decision as head of Arasaka tech is to terminate your employment," he hissed his words as he looked on in enjoyment. "Get the fuck out," she'd stand and point to the door, her long hair covering her face in shadow. "Whatever you say sis, I expect you gone by the end of the week," he'd let out a soft chuckle and walk out of her room, closing the door behind him. Flopping back onto the bed she'd stare at the ceiling until her eyes became heavy and she slipped into a slumber.
Several hours later she woke up,grabbing her phone to check the time. It read
April 17th 2013

3 unread messages
She'd groan and drop the phone on her chest as she staired up at her robotic left hand. Chrome covered with wires underneath it and the word "Arasaka Tech" etched into it
by a laser. "Silverhand..who is he? Why'd he give me his gun? Why was he at arasaka tower last night?" Questions raced through her mind as she quickly pulled out her phone again and went to Sightline, a internet search engine. Tapping the keys she'd type "silverhand" and the results came up and led to news footage 'at least a dozen dead in terrorist attack on Arasaka tower following a riot late last night. Popular rockerboy Johnny Silverhand is the number 1 suspect as his DNA was found on bullets along with a myriad of footage on security cams. He is currently at large, with his current wearabouts unknown.'
"Oh fuck..." She audibly let out a gasp, "He's the one who gave me his gun...he was right about Arasaka. They're weak and losing themselves, clearly." She'd glare at the door her brother stepped out from moments ago. Rage built up in her untill she got up and went to the restroom. Approaching the mirror it flashed to life. She'd stare at herself in the mirror, still in her uniform from the night before. "Fuck this," she'd rip the collar of her shirt and open the drawer next to her and pull out a hair trimmer. Flipping the switch it buzzed to life as she took it to her scalp, buzzing her hair to a few inches short. Placing the buzzer back in the drawer and grabbing a pair of scissors, shed rip off her clothes and get into the shower. Washing the hair from her body she'd let the water rain down on her as she slid to the floor with the pair of scissors in hand. "Fucking Arasaka...fucking Shawn..." She'd look at her hand and the engraving on her forearm. She'd let out a grunt and put the tip of the scissors to her wrist, scratching out the text reading 'Arasaka' and leaving the word 'tech'. Placing the scissors on the counter shed finish showering and go to her room, towel around her waist.
Walking to her closet shed throw open the door and grab pants, high tops, tank top and leather jacket. She hadn't wore these for years, Yet surprisingly they still fit. Scrounging through her dresser shed grab her switchblade and pistol and place them in the holster inside the jacket. "Fucking fire me...guess I better get to work and get all my shit..." Letting out a sigh she'd grab her phone and work lanyard, sliding it over her neck before leaving the room. The rest of the house was dark and empty, the only light on was in the kitchen. Walking into it Kelly would grab a banana and walk out of the apartment and down to the garage where her av is parked.
Chapter 3
The proto stage
Entering the av Kelly would flop into the seat and grab a glass of champagne after tossing her banana peel. Chugging it the bubbles felt crisp and cool as they entered her throat, "Take me to Arasaka Tower. And punch it, I'm late." Rubbing her temple with her index finger shed pull out her phone, checking her texts. A message about faulty cyberware from ApplCorps, a notice of termination and a time limit to retrieve her possessions from her office, and a message from an Ex employee who had to be let go due to accusations of corporate spying. The message read "How'd you ever get so lucky with him? Who knew he was such a stud? :D" attached was an image of a black haired man with a dragon tattoo flowing down his back as he has his head stuck between the girls legs. "Fucking Brian...and Amber.." she'd let out another sigh and open her contacts and search, Jonas Santiago. "Ambers boyfriend and fiance. Wonder how he'd feel about her cheating ass..." she'd murmer as she forwarded the text to him and began typing, "This could be us, hmu later if you're interested hot stuff. -K.E." "Approaching Arasaka tower, please watch your step as you get out of the vehicle. Have a nice day," the av landed in the hanger as Kelly slid her phone back into her pocket. Hopping out of the av several heads turned to face her, confused and disgusted looks on their faces. Walking to the reception desk shed flash her badge at the receptionist, "Ah Ms. Evans, here to collect your things? I'm afraid everything in your possession has been turned into corporate. All we have been authorized to give you is the blueprint of your prosthetic. We apologize for this inconvenience, please turn over your badge and exit via the AV." Kelly's eye twitched as she stood there, stunned. He was serious. He had her fired. "Mother fucker..." She'd whisper under her breath as she turned over her badge, "Your final paycheck has been added to your primary bank account along with a bonus sent to your bank account with Alistair Banking," The receptionist would hand over a black tube with a shoulder strap on it, the side of the tube read 'Cyber-Hand prosthetic blueprint v1.51 ver. 400,' "the digital files of this have been sent to your email. Please, have a nice day." Kelly groaned and slammed a fist on the counter as she walked back to the av. Upon entering the av her phone rang,Jonas Santiago "Hey Kelly, I got your message, it's been a while. How are things?" He spoke in a light Hispanic accent and a slightly raspy voice. "Someone just wake up? And things have been shit. Just lost my job at Arasaka,asshole brother fired me. Your fiance slept with my fucking boyfriend. And now I don't know what I'm gonna do. May run off. Don't know...need some stress relief, you wanna meet at my place, if you aren't to busy that is?" She fidgited with the strap of the tube as she spoke on her phone, "Sure, I'll be over there in 30. We'll spend some alone time together, isn't that right?" Smiling a bit she'd let out a sigh as she approached the penthouse again. Entering the apartment it was silent as it was before. Kelly would walk up to the wall and turn on the lights in the living room along with the radio set to a hard rock station. Flopping on the couch she'd put her legs up and pullout the Malorian once more, admiring it's sheen. "You need a name...why not 'The Magnum'." Taking out her switchblade she'd etch the name into the side of the gun as she set it on the table, making sure the safety was on as she closed her switchblade, setting it beside the pistol. The radio perked up as the radio dj made an announcement, "this next track is the newest track from Johnny Silverhand's band Samurai. This is The Ballad Of Buck Ravers!" A hard tune of guitar and drums began to play as the lyrics spoke of getting revenge on corpos as they treat employees as sheep. "He's not wrong..they don't care about our lives..all they care about is lining their pockets..." She'd sigh as a knock came from the door.
