The morning started out great... with Becca giving me a blowjob, very diligently moving her head up and down. After that, she swallowed my semen and, licking her lips suggestively, she smiled at me.
"Good morning, David."
"Morning, Becca..."
"You know... I kind of imagined what happened yesterday. Except Judy was... a little extra. I would have preferred for our first time to be in a more private setting."
"Hey..."
Judy looked at Becca with hurt in her eyes.
"Oh, come on..."
Becca waved her hand.
"...I'm not complaining. It was more than good; I got pounded like I never had before. And that's what I needed..."
"Then why are you complaining?"
"Well..."
Becca shrugged.
"...I have to grumble a little, don't I?"
"Done grumbling?"
Judy looked at Becca with a smirk.
"Yeah."
"Good, then we're still buying you a collar."
"Hey!"
"And don't you 'hey' me. You were such a good girl, so gentle and diligent, that it just can't go unrewarded... I'll have to tell the others that when you get it, you change before their eyes. I think they'll all want to see that side of you."
Becca pouted.
"Oh, come on..."
Judy came closer to her and ruffled her already messy hair.
"You're going to be our favorite..."
"I'm not an animal."
"Of course you're not, you're our Becca, the best little girl..."
"Judy, that's enough."
I grinned, but I still stopped her.
"You can see that Becca doesn't like this kind of talk. She might be a good girl during sex, but not now. So don't play on her weaknesses."
"Alright, alright..."
Judy raised her hands in a gesture of surrender.
"Sorry, Becca, I really did overdo it, both last night and now... it was just very unusual to see you like that."
Becca gave Judy a hard look, but she finally sighed and waved her hand.
"Alright... I forgive you. We're one family now, and it's a bad idea to hold a grudge against family."
"That's great!"
Judy hugged Becca, after which they started to get dressed. And so did I. And soon, we had not only dressed but also, with six hands, folded up the tent Becca had prepared. After that, we went back to the camp, where I started making breakfast, and the girls went into our dwelling to take a shower.
"So, how was it?"
Panam came out of the Behemoth and gave me a sly grin.
"It was good... although I had to hold back a little less..."
"Hmph!"
"Don't you 'hmph' me..."
I shook my head and, walking up to Panam, I kissed her with a long, gentle kiss. After that, I had to go back to making breakfast...
The next few days were pretty quiet...
Work, rest, work...
People would bring me weapons, and I would fix or upgrade them. In some cases, I would customize them. Becca was the tester, while Panam was spending her time in the clan's workshops, helping with car repairs and upgrades.
Judy, Kiwi, and Lucy were working on cracking the shards...
In short, it was a peaceful existence...
"We did it!"
I flinched a little and messed up a part I was turning for a new gun. I slowly looked up at Lucy, who had shouted this almost in my ear...
"Lucy..."
"Yeah?"
She looked at me with a mischievous grin.
"...you're lucky that this is just a virtual model of the part, and it can still be fixed. If it were a real part..."
I shook my head and, with a sigh, I closed the program and finally looked at Lucy more kindly. The other runner girls also appeared from the Behemoth.
"So you did it?"
"Yeah... we cracked it. Only one so far, but since the shards are from the same corpo, the protection on them is similar. The next ones will be much easier to crack."
I smiled.
"And what's the first shard you cracked?"
"Operative."
I grinned. So, for me and Becca?
"Did you make a copy?"
"It's being copied right now for all of us, plus a dozen copies for the clan and two for Rogue and Regina. With our copy protection, of course."
I nodded.
"Good. Then we'll wait for everything to be copied, and Becca and I will start studying the new stuff. You guys did great. I think you've earned a special treat for dinner tonight."
"You've already spoiled us enough..."
Lucy waved her hand.
"Exactly..."
Judy nodded.
"Just don't stop cooking for us, and we'll be happy."
Kiwi supported her friends.
"Well..."
I shrugged.
"If you say so. It wouldn't be hard for me, but if you don't want anything special, then so be it."
"Alright... we're going to rest for a bit, ride our bikes around the camp, because our brains are a little fried after all that work. After that, we'll get to cracking the other shards. I think we'll be able to do it by morning."
I nodded.
"Don't rush it. We're on a kind of vacation, after all..."
"That's exactly it, it's a vacation. We have time to improve our skills so we can become even more effective. So we will be in a hurry..."
"Well..."
I looked at the girls carefully.
"...just make sure you're in a hurry slowly. Don't underestimate the corpos and their security..."
"We know, we know..."
Kiwi waved her hand, after which she and the girls left to ride their motorcycles. I went back to work. I had to fix the virtual model of the part, start its production, then check and install it. And after that, it would be Becca's turn...
A few hours passed without anything happening. I continued to work, and Becca was somewhere nearby at a small shooting range I had set up for her. She was still shooting...
But this time, a phone call broke the peaceful atmosphere.
"Listening, V..."
"David... I need help..."
"What kind of help?"
"I need you to shoot down an av..."
"What kind of av?"
"Does that even matter? I need you to shoot it down, but in a way that all the passengers stay alive."
"I take it you need a specific person?"
"Yeah... Rogue was able to find out that one of the chip's creators will be flying over the Badlands, and that's the only chance we have to shoot down his av and capture the guy himself."
I sighed.
"Based on what you're saying, I'm guessing the av belongs to a serious corpo..."
"And what if it does?"
"V... no."
"David, I really need your help..."
"V... I think I've already helped you more than anyone else has. I gave you credit when Arasaka threw you out, I convinced you to get upgrades that helped you not flatline at Kompeki, I helped you increase the time you have left after I found out your brain was being rewritten..."
"Don't you think that asking me to get involved in a fight with a corporation—and a fight will definitely follow after we shoot down their av—is a little... wrong, in return for all that?"
"David, I've thought of everything; no one will find out!"
"V... I already said no."
"Just listen to me! We'll blow up the power plant that he's going to fly over!"
"Even more no..."
I shook my head.
"...V, do you even realize what you're trying to do?"
"I want to live!"
"But at what cost? Do you even understand how many people will die because of a power plant going out? Do you even realize that that power plant supplies several hospitals, several districts of the city where there are also a lot of private ripperdocs, and just think about how many people will be affected on the roads and in the city streets..."
I shook my head again.
"So you're not going to help me?"
"No..."
I shook my head. How many times had I done that during this conversation? But I couldn't help myself. And even though I wanted to help V... damn it, she was going to blow it up anyway! A shitload of people were going to die no matter what! This isn't a game where nothing bad happened because of a massive power outage, and the news anchor just complained about having to eat a cold burrito...
"...I won't help."
"Well, then go fuck..."
"Shut up and listen."
I had no desire to talk to her at all. But I also had to prevent a massive number of deaths. Well... not that I had to, and if only gangers had died from the power outage, I wouldn't have been against it, but...
"You're going to call Rogue or Regina right now, and you're going to put in a job through them. Two jobs, to be exact. The first job is for a narrow-beam EMP cannon. The second is for a high-power missile launcher with an EMP warhead."
"And how long will it take you to complete those jobs?"
V's voice was extremely sarcastic.
"Three to four days."
"...fine, but if you don't make it in time, you'll be blowing up the power plant with me."
"No, V... I'm not going to blow up the power plant with you, no matter what..."
And if I had to choose, I would protect it from you. But I wasn't going to tell you that. No need for you to know.
"...but I'm giving you a chance not to become a terrorist like Silverhand, who blew up Arasaka Tower and killed a bunch of civilians."
"Heh, that's kind of funny..."
"What do you find funny about being compared to that trash?"
"Just that his Engram is on the chip... and that asshole shows up in my visions from time to time... he talks to me... he threatens me..."
I listened to her carefully.
"But you know, if I have to become a terrorist to survive..."
"In short, I've told you HOW I'm willing to help you. The decision is yours to make."
I hung up and leaned back in the chair I was working in outside.
"Did something happen?"
I glanced at Becca.
"We might have to zero out V."
"What?"
"She found some info... or rather, Rogue found it for that insane woman. Anyway, one of the chip's creators will be flying in an av, and the only place where that av can be put down and the creator can be captured is the Badlands..."
"Well, that's good!"
"Good... except she came up with a plan..."
"A plan?"
"To blow up the power plant... the one outside the city."
Becca frowned.
"Wait, are you talking about that power plant?"
"Yeah, she's probably talking about the microwave power plant."
"But what about the civilians..."
"Exactly. And I told her she could put in a job for a very specific weapon. But if she doesn't..."
"Then she's going to blow up the power plant anyway..."
"Exactly."
"Ugh... that's a choice, alright..."
"Exactly..."
I sighed and closed my eyes. A fucking choice...
