“Yeah I seen her around, you interested professionally? Or… you have a thing for the little hardbody cat ears thing? Nevermind. Yeah, she hangs around near the waterfront in South NC, goes to night markets, scutts out the trash heaps, goes shopping for cutesy animoo shit. Names Boots. How I know? Man, it’s printed on her jacket. Now pay up.”

-Scan, Local Informant

“Okay, Okay, I do have a vehicle expert who I could hire the services of, Names ‘Boots’ Little blonde thing, of the super cutesy type, but don’t get fooled, regular whizz with the cars, building, driving, she can do it, and she’s affordable. Just don’t ask what’s between the ears to do any heavy lifting. Feel me?”

Carmine

“You heard what happened up at the douglas place? yeah that clinic with the garage attached. well I went by there the other day and it was a wreck. Garage was collapsed and half exploded and the whole place was shot up. Its a shame too, the old guy was an ex nomad or something the moved to be with his ripperdoc wife. Their daughter was a friend of mine. I used to run errands up that way and she was always there working away. Damn smart and pretty too. I saw two bodies outside all burned up but I didn't see a third. I hope Aisla made it out but...I think I found her arm. looked just like hers I swear! Im gunna go looking for her soon as I can, I don't care what that bastard Campbell says!”

-Hank Samson, ConAg field hand.

“Carmine the bowler? Yes! absolutely, this is defiantly a thing. She uses her massive cyber arm to hurl bowling balls at her foes. Or not, she could be a reclaimer whose community was shattered and killed maybe. Barely escaping and dragging herself into Night City.”

Renegade

“Yeah I remember the Mclean boy. Grew up out here with his family away from the city. His folks were old school badasses what served in the last corpomawhatsits war. The father scrapped together some abandoned agricorps stuff n made a go of making food fer the folks round here. Nomads ended up helping em out, keeping em safe in exchange fer good prices. Reckon tales of glory drove the kid off to git his own glory working for Militech. Dunno what happened but day before he came back the family ranch exploded leavin a mighty deep crater. Now hes run off ter the city and last I heard he disappeared into the ranks o them street mercs. ”

Cassy

“Miss Casandra, I understand you have some reservations about your suitability for the offered role. I will be frank. You are indeed highly underqualified in the regards of operating and maintaining a stock of vehicles. You also exhibit a remarkable inability to work in a team, and indeed you show a lack of persuasive ability, tact or "Charisma". I however can fix at least one of those...maybe two. and in the mean time you are a perfectly capable human forklift.”

“Cassie? She’s a big ol’ tower of muscle and booze fumes, I think she thinks all those muscles make her immune to damage, but… they don’t. She’s so surly sometimes, I’ma fix her up good!”

Fud

*sigh* where do I start with Fud. He came from up top, his family had to flee those damn cannibals all the way from floor 15 not long after I joined the Shrubs. Its no easy thing to do without money and friends so only Fud made it down to the first floor, covered in blood and wounded to hell and back. Paid to get him fixed up myself and let him crash at mine. Kept muttering about his Ma. He's big and crazy strong but he aint all there in the head. He is kind though and loves selling food to people, he often gives food away to the poor and starving. he refuses to sell things that aren't in a Vendit but his fingers are too big for the buttons so I've had to replace the glass fronts with easily replaceable recycled glass and plastic both for his sake and my own.

Javier “Redline” Jiminez

Here they are folks!. The drivers of this seasons Death Derby come from all over and what a line-up we have! First off hailing from Night City we have Javier "Redline" Jimenez in his signature ride the Psycho Rod!. Redline comes from a family of racers, derby veterans and land speed legends. I've never seen high speed cornering and vehicle hand to hand like his!. If only his skills behind the wheel translated to his time at the card tables as season after season he remains heavily indebted and needs that big first place pay out to stay afloat. After his big wipeout last week he needs to get back in the lead or his chances will drop to almost zero this season. Keep your eyes on Redline if you can! its bound the be a wild ride!

He was going off! I thought has about to slammit on but he stormed outta there screaming about "why isn't anyone doing anything!" or some shit. boohoo man Hahahaha!. none of those badges said or did a thing, that's the best part. Dude musta crawled into the wrong biz. I swear I seen his face somewhere before though.”

-Excerpt of a Message from Crank Head, To Razer

Unit Alpha Four

“There is a robed man with a scanner arm, could be a full borg, I don’t know, down by the wharf. He buys stuff, trades it for scrap, bullets, eddies. He’s your best bet for selling off a pile of junk your regular fixer won’t touch. But if yous go trade with him, don’t turn your back on him, there’s something not right about him.”

-Jess, local Techie

“The Vampires who run the corporations of 2020, they have an alliance, with thechnologists, Techno-Necromancers, from, they come from outer space. Why? The same reason they turned the sky black, they have immortality, but they hate that they can’t go out int he sun, they hate they need us, our blood, the blood of our babies, they hate it. So they made an alliance with the Tehno Necromancers from beyond the moon, they scan us, they offer us deals on our unwanteds it’s the same playbook. Make it convenient, a tea spoon of sugar makes the public implant chips in their heads so they can manipulate us and spy on us.”

Walter

“Walter? that old coot? he is...how you say?, tired. Fourth corporate war was the last straw. busted in here one day and gunned down whatever thugs ruled this place and set up those turrets and refused to leave. It is strange for a man with such balls to become so pacifistic in his age no? Dont get me wrong, he isnt a man i would cross lightly though. He is respected and problems of his tend to get resolved without him getting his hands dirty..”
