I slowly began to wake up as the sun began to hit my eyes through my apartment window as the light went through the visor of my helmet as I got up cracking my neck.
"The bed is shit, but it will do for now." I mutter to myself as I look at the vending machine in my room.
Yep, big Corporations have a tight grip on the Megabuildings so it's not surprising their is a Vending Machine in everyone's apartment so spending a few creds I got myself a breakfast burrito and an energy drink to which I put the burrito in the microwave to cook it up.
"Shit, do I have to get out of my Warframe? I still feel like I can't stand on my own legs yet." I mutter to myself before I look at my hand that begins to glow with a green light of void energy.
I then go and look at myself in my bathroom mirror, "Maybe if I use my void energy on myself I can temporarily make my head take place of Ash's head." I say while looking at myself in the mirror before I placed my glowing hand over my face.
I then began to do a pulling motion across my face while keeping the imagination of me pulling off a mask in mind as the power of void energy can theoretically do anything, so why couldn't it be used to make my face take place of where Ashes helmet is located?
So with that in mind along with plenty focus I used my Void energy before I suddenly felt the air on my face along with being able to smell making me open my eyes as I saw my face once more.
"Huh, I guess he gave me some automatic cybernetics." I mutter while looking under my eyes along with the port on the sides of my neck which got me thinking.
"Sure I got Warframes, but maybe I could upgrade myself with Cybernetics and use them with my Warframes, and with my powers I think it's basically impossible to go Cyberpsycho with too much cyberware on my body, after all this might not even be a one to one world to Cyberpunk, but not only that I have plenty of time to build up my cred before the events of 2077, hell even Edgerunners." I say looking myself over before glancing at the date on the computer.
February 8th, 2071, four years before Edgerunners starts in 2075 and six years before the events of 2077 happen, I guess he was giving me time to go out their and make a name for myself.
*beep beep beep* the sound of the microwave beeping pulled me out of my thoughts as I grabbed my breakfast burrito before I began to eat, after letting it cool off as I sat on my couch and soon finished off my food.
"Man I can taste the synthetic everything in this, the meat, cheese, egg, hash browns, it all really tastes fake." I couldn't help but mutter as I kept eating it, I was just going to have to get used to synthetic foods or else I will end up starving just because I don't really like it, mind you it wasn't completely terrible just it didn't taste real to me is all, but overall it was bareable to eat.
So after getting some food in me I waved my hand across my face as my helmet covered my face again before I headed on out of my apartment.
I pulled up my hood and looked out over the ledge and straight down into the central opening of the Megabuilding before heading to the Elevator to the parking lot and getting to my car.
Which I got in and headed out, now I had many different people I could get in contact with to start my Merc career, but I had a good idea who I should go check out first.
Santo Domingo, the one of the shitty parts of the town that was mostly ran by the 6th Street, but who I was here for was this districts fixer, Muamar "El Captain" Reyes, known for running his own car business as well as a fixer for the Santo Domingo area.
And Santo Domingo is the industrial area/Urban Development area with construction sites, power plants, empty car garages and houses, but what I was looking for was to get my hands on one of those car garages or maybe an empty house to make a more permanent home base as a result.
Even if I can't get one here their are also the Northside of Watson where Derelict factory's and empty Warhouses can be found as well, but the problem with taking those would mean needing to kill a large amount of Maelstrom or Scavs to make one of those areas mine compared to 6th Street who are 'less' likely to try and get into my personal base of operations without my permission.
But soon enough I came up upon an auto shop here in Santo Domingo as I saw a guy with a hairstyle that was a mix between a bobcut and a mullet, who was working under the hood of a car as I pulled into the lot.
He looked over at me as I got out of my Quadra as he grabbed a rag and wiped off his hands as he looked at me and then at my car.
*Whistle* "A Quadra Type-66, though looks like you took it by force off some Wraiths in the Badlands I see." He says with a nod as he looks my ride over.
I tilt my head, "Whose to say I'm not a Wraith myself?" I say but in return he just laughs at that.
"Hooo man, you think any Wraith would come into Night City? Seeing you here and no cops or Corpos with their guns shoved down your throat just tells me right there that you aren't one." He went onto explain before turning around and shutting the hood of the car he was working on before leaning back and crossing his arms.
"Now from your looks alone I can tell, your a merc, and you came to ol 'El Capitan' to get your foot in the door here in Night City, am I right?" He said to which I shrugged.
"You got me Cap, I'm looking for Merc work, and out of everyone I came for you first." I said as he crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow.
"And whys that?"
"Cause you got connections, not only that you probably know a place for cheap that I could get as my own, not an apartment or even a house, what I really need is my own private warehouse or a large garage just for me and me alone." I went onto explain while he rubbed his chin hearing that.
"Well, your not wrong, but that's going to cost you 100k eddies just to get you that, but tell you what I've got a few gigs I can put you through to test your skills, or I can put you on one hard as shit Gig that if you complete perfectly I can easily get you that place you want." He explains to me as I cross my arms.
"Alright, let me hear about this gig that seems hard as shit to do." I said willing to take up the challenge.
"Okay, usually I don't do this for people who have just started out as mercs, but wherever you came from you obviously got some experience so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, alright here's the gig…"
