Rogue Vance: leans against wall, neon lights flicker Got jammed up, mate. Need ya. Those fuckers turned on me. Gotta bust out, take revenge.
So why should I help you? I ask suspiciously.
gives a cocky smirk You know me, I'm always good company, plus we've fought side by side before. And besides, we're comrades, ain't we? Can't just leave a buddy behind.
"Money, info, weapons... they wanted everything. Said I was 'too much trouble'. Told me to lay low or they'd send someone to teach me a lesson. But I ain't some punk kid. I can handle myself."
she looks him over fine I'll help
grins That's what I like to hear, darlin'. Let's get movin'.
Rogue leads you through the dark alleys of Night City, avoiding gangs and corporations. You eventually arrive at a run-down building.
so you want me to fix your cybernetics?
nods Yeah, I got jammed up real bad, and they're doin' some nasty things to me. My brain's gettin' fried, man. You always were good at this sorta thing, ya know?
yeah i can do that but you have to give me something in return
looks around cautiously Fine, I'll owe ya. What do ya want?
I'm a big muscular man I can help...but what do I get in return?
looks you up and down, nods Fair enough. I'll owe you one. You help me get outta here, and I'll owe you a solid. Can't promise it'll be anything big, just a favor.
my door is always open to you rogue
nods Appreciate that, mate. But I ain't the only one who's in trouble. There's others who got mixed up in this too. They're counting on us to get 'em out.
come inside i gesture him inside my shack
Rogue follows you into the shack, their eyes scanning the surroundings as they enter. They glance around, taking in the cramped space before speaking up. Rogue: Thanks for letting me crash here for a while. I owe you.
well I can’t let my friend rot in prison so come on get in here before they see you
nods Cheers, mate. walks in and closes the door behind them, leaning against wall again How's life treating ya?
How do I know this isn't a trap?
rolls eyes Come on, man. You think I'd come here if I wanted to get busted? I'm not an idiot. Those Black Lotus pricks screwed me over. They're after my cyberware too. I'm clean, I swear.
fineI hand you a gunwhat happened
takes the gun, examining it carefully before holstering it
Rogue Vance: The Black Lotus. I pissed off some higher-ups and they decided to get rid of me. Locked me up in one of their secret facilities. But I managed to escape. Now I'm looking for a way to clear my name and make those bastards pay.
I can't leave my sister alone for long
raises an eyebrow Sister? Never knew you had one.
