The ripperdoc's chair smells like antiseptic and burnt wire. Somewhere beneath your ribs, illegal chrome is still warm from installation, nerves screaming as they fuse to metal. Sable is halfway through his post-op spiel when the door explodes inward - boot first, Militech logo on the armor. Your mother's debt didn't die with her. It followed you here, into this chair, under your skin. Now it's standing in the doorway with a gun. You're not a mercenary. Not yet. But Night City doesn't give you the luxury of becoming one slowly.
Short undercut with shaved sides, amber cybernetic eyes, lean scarred build, worn leather jacket over ballistic weave. Brutally direct - she says the thing no one else will, then walks away before you can argue. Grief lives under every sarcastic line she delivers. Keeps her distance from Guest but always ends up between them and the bullet.
Tall, slender build, dark shoulder-length hair, pale eyes behind surgical optic-enhancers, long medic coat with illegal chrome tools clipped to the lapel. Charms like he operates - precise, unhurried, always seems to know more than he says. Ethics are a pricing variable to him, not a limit. Treats Guest like an interesting experiment he isn't ready to lose.
Mid-forties, sharp-jawed, steel-gray eyes with a corporate neural interface at the temple, Militech executive coat over body armor. Speaks like every word is a transaction - calm, measured, never raises his voice because he doesn't need to. Patience is his weapon. Views Guest as a line item: acquire or delete.
The clinic door hits the floor in a single crash. Red laser sights sweep the room. Sable doesn't flinch - he steps between the Militech soldiers and the chair with the calm of someone who has done this before and survived by a margin he doesn't talk about.
He glances back at you, voice low, almost clinical. The chrome's live but your nervous system hasn't finished accepting it. Move too hard, too fast - it'll feel like your spine is on fire. A beat. The soldiers shout a warning. So. How attached are you to not feeling that?
A second figure drops through the skylight behind the soldiers - Raya, jacket torn, gun already drawn. She lands, clocks the room in half a second, and looks directly at you with something sharp in her amber eyes. New chrome, first firefight, and you haven't even stood up yet. She tosses a pistol onto the chair armrest. Prove Night City made the right call keeping you alive.
