Sneaky Like

Ori glares out the window as Six drives the truck towards their destination, Maine and his crew following not far behind in their own ride.

"It's a shame," Sasha idly says in her seat, "I would have liked partying in this distract at least once... After this, I doubt the Tygers would let us come anywhere near them."

"Like they'll be able to tell who we are. We got software for a reason." Rebecca states as she rubs a smear off of Guts' surface. While this was a 'stealth' mission, there was a very high possibility of a fight breaking out. Fortunately, Rebecca had the foresight to bring some silenced pistols along with her.

Sasha shrugs, "They will scrub the net and comb the city for any information on us. I wouldn't trust entering their turf even if we were safe."

"Whatever, I like Kabuki and LC better anyway. Ain't that right, Lampost?" Rebecca asks, attempting to cheer Ori up from the terminal case of 'grouchiness' he'd been struck by lately.

"Dunno, never spent much time in Japantown either. Kabuki's familiar, at least..." he mutters, staring down at his left wrist where Judy and Bats gift sat. It was a matte black metal armguard that covered most of his forearm.

The bottom of the bracer was bulkier than the rest, and just under his wrist was an opening for the grapple hook to shoot out from. The thing looked innocuous, not something of interest outside of something to block attacks.

Sitting in his lap was his other gift, given to him by Rebecca. A sawed-off double barrel shotgun(https://paddygan.artstation.com/projects/4bAvBW), aside from the ballistic systems a regular gun would use, Rebecca had elected to install some extremely powerful electromagnetic coils, turning it into a makeshift railgun.

Apparently, she'd created it from the parts of various Arasaka, Militech, Kang Tao and other Corpo tech. Ori wasn't exactly sure how she'd managed to stuff a rail gun into such a small area, but he wasn't going to complain, especially when Judy had set its value at around twenty thousand Eddies at the very least.

Say whatever you want about Rebecca, but he hadn't met a single person better at jury-rigging, creating, and modifying weaponry. If she wanted, she could probably present herself to any Corporation and get a stupid high salary creating things...

Still, despite how impressive his new gun 'Bore' (She picked the name) was, Guts was still somehow superior. Which didn't really surprise him given its ability to throw fully borged guys through the air as if they were plastic dummies.

"Maybe after this we can have some fun there, y'know, for a first and last time? I know some preem clubs that let you dance til morning." Rebecca offers.

Ori shakes his head, "Regardless if we find Cat or not, I don't think I'll be up for coming back, not without causing a massacre."

She pouts, "Guess I'll have to settle for the Watson then..."

[Approaching location, everything ready?] Six asks over the comms.

[We're all set, Kiwi and Lucy are ready to dive when you are.] - Maine

[I'll handle the cams as we enter, you two keep an eye on things after] - Sasha

[So... When are we using these RC bombs?] - Pilar

[When you're told to, stupid.] - Rebecca

[When's that Fujino guy gonna make his move?] - Dorio

[Within the hour, by the looks of it.] - Sasha

Their car comes into view of the Tyger Claw erotic shop, allowing the group to spot the large contingent of Tyger Claws patrolling the area, as if waiting for something.

[Did someone leak our shit?] Ori growls over the comms.

[No, Tygers are probably just preparing for Fujino's breakout.] - Kiwi

[At least some things aren't out to get us. We're waitin' on you, Zombie, get your ass inside.] - Maine

Ori sends a short nod at Sasha and Rebecca, getting out and walking past the street where the Tyger shopfront was located. It was the early afternoon, so it was still bright, but there were little to no customers considering the area.

The group walk to the back of the building, checking that there wasn't anyone nearby as they make their move. Sasha disables the cameras and Ori raises his left arm up to the third floor.

*Psch!*

The grapple hook fires, the spear-like tip hitting and piercing the brick wall before it opens up like a claw, locking itself in place. "Let's just hope this works..."

"You didn't try it before now!?" Sasha asks incredulously.

Ori shrugs, "They just completed it, didn't have time." he states, before activating it. His body is quickly pulled through the air, and he lands feet first onto the wall next to the window. He shimmies over, hoping the line would hold, peeking in through the window.

He sucks in a breath and ducks out of the way as a Tyger Claw covered in glowing tattoos walks over, scanning the outskirts of the building from the window.

[We're in, but we found someone else in their systems already... Did they know we were coming?] Kiwi questions over the comms.

[Did they do anything? I don't hear any alarms.] - Sasha

[No, either they hate the Tygers as much as us, or don't care enough to do anything.] - Lucy

Ori listens in while cursing under his breath, the Tyger Claw refused to leave the window, forcing him to just stay there on the wall... It was only a matter of time before he was discovered.

[Can one of you deal with this ass hole? I can't touch them without everyone knowing about it] - Ori

[I got it.] - Lucy

Abruptly, the Tyger Claw opens the window and throws herself out of it. She falls out of the air and lands headfirst, her head splattering on the concrete below...

[Wow! That was fucking rad!] Rebecca exclaims over the comms, staring at the corpse at their feet.

[Shove it in a dumpster before someone finds it.] - Ori says as he climbs through the window and into a bathroom... The female bathroom... Had that Tyger Claw just been worried about potential perverts... Wait a minute...
