"Focus on the road, Elodie," Ryoko barks, as the tailing gang members come into view in the rear. "I'll focus on getting rid of them. Kindred, look sharp," she continues, her combat training coming to the fore in their moment of crisis, the adrenaline rushing as she feels almost excited to finally be in combat again. She fires a shot at the other biker, but her shot goes wide, and she mumbles "dammit" quietly under her breath. Not used to shooting from a moving vehicle, going to need to recalibrate my link.

Mods: N/A

Mods: N/A
Ammo: 15/15
THROWABLES
Flash Grenade
1d20+4 to hit (bounce 1d10 meters on miss), 10m/30m range, 5m radius
Effect: targets without sufficient protection make a physical save. On a failure to save, affected targets lose their next Main Action and take -2 to hit and to AC for 1d6 rounds. Effect does not stack, and cannot be applied more than once in the same round.
Remaining: 1/1
Gas Grenade
1d20+4 to hit (bounce 1d10 meters on miss), 1d10 non-lethal damage, 10m/30m range, 5m radius
Effect: creates a zone in affected 10m diameter that damages all targets within, then dissipates in 1 round. A successful physical save halves the damage, and breathing protection prevents damage entirely. Creatures in the zone gain full concealment until the gas dissipates, except against creatures with IR or augmented vision.
Remaining: 1/1
* I treat all enemy AC as 10 for the purposes of shock, assuming they are not immune to shock entirely

INSTALLED CYBERWARE
Emergency Stabilization Factor
$30k | Body | Medical | Sys. Strain 1
Effect: When brought to zero hit points by an injury that does not instantly kill them, the user automatically stabilizes, gaining one System Strain, and will regain consciousness at the end of the scene with 1 hit point. If they are already at maximum strain, this cyberware does not function.
Dermal Armor II
$80k | Skin | Touch | Sys. Strain 2
Effect: Heavier subcutaneous plating acts as Dermal Armor I with a base ranged and melee AC of 18, and +1 to trauma target. In addition, the user can ignore the first instance of Shock in a round.
Muscle Fiber Replacement I
$50k | Limb | Touch | Sys. Strain 1
Effect: Artificial muscle fibers are implanted as replacements for the user’s own flesh. The subject gains a Strength score of 14, or +2 if already 14 or higher.
Cybereyes (pair)
$10k | Sensory | Touch | Sys. Strain 0.25
Effect: These cybereyes are clearly artificial, though most are styled in attractive or striking fashions. They all have perfect 20/20 vision and integral flash protectors, but additional functionality must be implanted separately. A user with a pair of cybereyes or syntheyes halves the System Strain cost of cybernetic eye implants.
Eye Mod/Infrared Vision
$5k | Sensory | Medical | Sys. Strain 0.25 (0.5 halved)
Effect: The infrared vision this mod allows permits basic navigation in dark areas and makes the presence of heat sources such as humans, engines, and infrared tripwires very obvious. The user gains a +1 bonus on any Notice checks to detect the presence of thermally-unshielded living creatures.
Gunlink
$25k | Sensory | Touch | Sys. Strain 1
Effect: Hardwired control points interface with the onboard targeting systems of most modern firearms. When using a modern firearm, the PC ignores range penalties and negates up to 2 points of hit penalties for cover, concealment, or prone targets. Once per scene, as an Instant action, they can reroll a missed attack roll with a gun.
Cyber Maintenance: $10k (5% of $200k/Month)(first two months are free)

Ephraim Dulac: the man who was once Ryoko's squad leader for her enforcer group with in Arabashi Ltd. They've known each other for years, and though they've never been close outside work, they've always shared a bond of trust one would expect of their brothers and sisters in arms. He knows that Ryoko was only fired due to her outspoken distaste for Dynamism, and that he has only remained employed because he was more careful about revealing his similar sentiments. As such, he still views Ryoko with respect and is willing to aid her within reason.
Lil Scotty: a skilled hacker who is a low-ranking member of the 3189 Crew. Ryoko met him doing a security detail for the gang, and helped protect him from some Blood Horde members he tried to pawn some intel off on. He now sees Ryoko as his guardian angel who can keep him safe from his seedy tendencies, and tries to call on her aid more than she'd like. The last time she helped him, she told him off for his lack of discretion and general disloyalty to the 3189, seeing it as a fast way for him to end up dead. Despite her annoyance with the man, she does see him as a useful person to know, as having a contact within the 3189 helps her get new jobs and firmware from the group.

My fans don't have any special skills but can do anything ordinary workers or civilians would. Once per month, I can mobilize them for donations or merch purchases, getting up to $1,000 per character level. This is doubled at 5th level and quadrupled at 10th level.

The taxi slams into the side of one of the motorcycles, pushing it across the road. Its rider tries his best to break free, but his efforts are in vein as Reiji pushes him to the edge of the road. The bike clips a lamppost, spraying plastic and carbon fibre everywhere as the impact destroys the vehicle. The ganger is thrown from the bike, hurtling through the air before smashing into the windscreen of a parked car, quickly left behind as the chase continues to race through the streets of Hawthorne.
With one of the bikers taken out, and taking fire from your crew, the gangers riding in the pickup truck open fire. One, wielding a submachine gun, sprays wildly as the truck lurches around, while two others open up with pistols, one hitting the taxi shattering the rear window.
Go: Everyone

"Holy shit," Li Fei mumbles as she watches the motorcyclist careen off-course and get thrown through a windshield. The velocity and angle of impact has that poor bastard at 10% survival rate, tops.
She turns her attention back toward her cyber avatar, manifesting as a literal red devil this time — horns and flaring nostrils and flecks of spittle upon her chapped lips. She clears her throat, a viscous, toxic phlegm accumulating in her serpentine maw, before spitting it in a lobbed arc toward the driver. Her shot goes wide, but the acidic spray from the near-miss covers her target's eyes in a thick goop.
"Things just went dark for that clown," Li Fei says with a sneering grin.
She turns her attention back toward her cyber avatar, manifesting as a literal red devil this time — horns and flaring nostrils and flecks of spittle upon her chapped lips. She clears her throat, a viscous, toxic phlegm accumulating in her serpentine maw, before spitting it in a lobbed arc toward the driver. Her shot goes wide, but the acidic spray from the near-miss covers her target's eyes in a thick goop.
"Things just went dark for that clown," Li Fei says with a sneering grin.

With her previous shot as a reference point, Ryoko quickly recalibrates her gunlink's settings for the high speed scenario they are in now, and fires off another shot at the last remaining biker. This time the shot is dead on, causing the motorcycle to lose control as its rider perishes. Much better

THROWABLES
Flash Grenade
1d20+4 to hit (bounce 1d10 meters on miss), 10m/30m range, 5m radius
Effect: targets without sufficient protection make a physical save. On a failure to save, affected targets lose their next Main Action and take -2 to hit and to AC for 1d6 rounds. Effect does not stack, and cannot be applied more than once in the same round.
Remaining: 1/1
Gas Grenade
1d20+4 to hit (bounce 1d10 meters on miss), 1d10 non-lethal damage, 10m/30m range, 5m radius
Effect: creates a zone in affected 10m diameter that damages all targets within, then dissipates in 1 round. A successful physical save halves the damage, and breathing protection prevents damage entirely. Creatures in the zone gain full concealment until the gas dissipates, except against creatures with IR or augmented vision.

INSTALLED CYBERWARE
Emergency Stabilization Factor
$30k | Body | Medical | Sys. Strain 1
Effect: When brought to zero hit points by an injury that does not instantly kill them, the user automatically stabilizes, gaining one System Strain, and will regain consciousness at the end of the scene with 1 hit point. If they are already at maximum strain, this cyberware does not function.
Dermal Armor II
$80k | Skin | Touch | Sys. Strain 2
Effect: Heavier subcutaneous plating acts as Dermal Armor I with a base ranged and melee AC of 18, and +1 to trauma target. In addition, the user can ignore the first instance of Shock in a round.
Muscle Fiber Replacement I
$50k | Limb | Touch | Sys. Strain 1
Effect: Artificial muscle fibers are implanted as replacements for the user’s own flesh. The subject gains a Strength score of 14, or +2 if already 14 or higher.
Cybereyes (pair)
$10k | Sensory | Touch | Sys. Strain 0.25
Effect: These cybereyes are clearly artificial, though most are styled in attractive or striking fashions. They all have perfect 20/20 vision and integral flash protectors, but additional functionality must be implanted separately. A user with a pair of cybereyes or syntheyes halves the System Strain cost of cybernetic eye implants.
Eye Mod/Infrared Vision
$5k | Sensory | Medical | Sys. Strain 0.25 (0.5 halved)
Effect: The infrared vision this mod allows permits basic navigation in dark areas and makes the presence of heat sources such as humans, engines, and infrared tripwires very obvious. The user gains a +1 bonus on any Notice checks to detect the presence of thermally-unshielded living creatures.
Gunlink
$25k | Sensory | Touch | Sys. Strain 1
Effect: Hardwired control points interface with the onboard targeting systems of most modern firearms. When using a modern firearm, the PC ignores range penalties and negates up to 2 points of hit penalties for cover, concealment, or prone targets. Once per scene, as an Instant action, they can reroll a missed attack roll with a gun.
Cyber Maintenance: $10k (5% of $200k/Month)(first two months are free)

Ephraim Dulac: the man who was once Ryoko's squad leader for her enforcer group with in Arabashi Ltd. They've known each other for years, and though they've never been close outside work, they've always shared a bond of trust one would expect of their brothers and sisters in arms. He knows that Ryoko was only fired due to her outspoken distaste for Dynamism, and that he has only remained employed because he was more careful about revealing his similar sentiments. As such, he still views Ryoko with respect and is willing to aid her within reason.
Lil Scotty: a skilled hacker who is a low-ranking member of the 3189 Crew. Ryoko met him doing a security detail for the gang, and helped protect him from some Blood Horde members he tried to pawn some intel off on. He now sees Ryoko as his guardian angel who can keep him safe from his seedy tendencies, and tries to call on her aid more than she'd like. The last time she helped him, she told him off for his lack of discretion and general disloyalty to the 3189, seeing it as a fast way for him to end up dead. Despite her annoyance with the man, she does see him as a useful person to know, as having a contact within the 3189 helps her get new jobs and firmware from the group.

Elodie grips the steering wheel so tight that her knuckles whiten. At least the rest of the group has got this, she thinks with relief as from the corner of her eye she notices that Reiji and Ryoko hit their respective targets. But she is neither a driver nor a fighter, and if there is any way for her to get out of here as soon as possible, she figures she should take It. So as much as she can while also keeping the large trailblazer on the road, she looks around for an exit.

EDGES AND FOCI
EDGES
Face: Gain Connect as a bonus skill. Once per game week, whenever it’s convenient, gain one temporary Acquaintance Contact of your choice, describing them in any way the GM finds acceptable. You lose touch with this Contact after you use this Edge again, but you can use this Edge to connect with them again at a different time. You may also provide favors or payment sufficient to
cement the relationship at the GM’s discretion.
Voice of the people: You are a rocker, graffiti artist, poet, demagogue, or other rabble-rouser with a considerable reputation. You gain both levels of the Pop Idol Focus and an additional Friend Contact related to your art.
FOCI
Authority: You have an uncanny kind of charisma about you, one that makes others instinctively follow your instructions and further your causes. Where this Focus refers to followers, it means NPCs who have voluntarily chosen to be in your service. PCs never count as followers.
Level 1: Gain Lead as a bonus skill. Once per day, you can make a request from an NPC who is not openly hostile to you, rolling a Cha/Lead skill check at a difficulty of the NPC’s Morale score. If you succeed, they will comply with the request, provided it is not harmful or very uncharacteristic.
Pop Idol (through Voice of the People: Whether a street musician, graffiti artist, underground journalist, cam girl, folk singer, or Robin Hood-esque thief, you have a devoted following of enthusiasts who are willing to help you when you need them.
Level 1: Gain Perform as a bonus skill. Once per game week, with an hour or so of messaging, you can mobilize about a hundred of your fans to perform some act of your choice, provided it’s no more than mildly criminal or slightly dangerous. Flashmobs, getaway drivers, scouting reports, tailing people, or instant parties might all qualify as services. Your fans don’t have any special skills, but they’ll do anything ordinary workers or civilians could do. If you mobilize them for donations or merch purchases, you get $1,000 per character level, doubled at fifth level and quadrupled at tenth. You can’t mobilize them to buy your content more than once per month.
Level 2: You can mobilize up to a hundred fans per character level, though major mobs are likely to draw a law enforcement response. You’ve cultivated fan leaders who can pass along your wishes deniably, concealing your involvement in the crowd. Your donation and merch earning amounts double. Your Charisma modifier increases by +1, to a maximum of +2.

FRIENDS
Elodie's most important friend is Meredith Skyler, a 58 year old woman with long curly hair who is always dressed in a sharp suit. She was Elodie's manager back in the day and stood up for her when she was fired. Meredith is one of the top managers of Galaxy Express, Elodie's old label, and thus still has many contacts in the industry.
ACQUAINTANCES
1. Nolan Maxwell, a 72 year old retired PI whose most striking physical characteristic is his huge moustache. He was Elodie's employer and they still keep in contact occasionally after he retired. He still has some contacts with the Hawthorne police, as he used to work with them quite a lot back in the day.
2. Lian Zhang, 35, and one of Elodie's old background dancers when she was still touring. They now teach dancing in Northlake to the children and the few adults that have the time to spare in the gated company town of Falcon Financial. And as people tend to get a bit... looser within their own company town, it means that Lian occasionally catches the interesting bit of Falcon gossip, either straight from the parents or via their children.

Damn, nice shot, cuz. Reiji smirks, seeing the other motorcycle crash after this cousin's well placed bullet. He looks to Li Fei in his peripherals for a moment before back to the road. "Not bad, Red," he says, eyeing their pursuers in his mirrors. "Let's get the fuck out of here before the lights come back on."

As the driver of the pickup truck loses his vision, both the taxi and the Trailblazer speed away. The driver slams on the brakes in an attempt to avoid a crash whilst his eyes reboot, however his efforts are in vain, as the truck veers to the side of the road, mounting the kerb and plowing through several parking meters before crashing into a wooden utility pole. You are unable to see little of the carnage left in your wake however, as you continue to race through the traffic for a few blocks, taking a couple of turns before slowing down to legal speeds once you've put some distance between you and the crashed gangers.

"I don't think the lights are coming back on," Li Fei says, leaning halfway into the backseat to get a view out of the rear window. "Wouldn't wanna be the boss of these clowns' outfit tonight."
She sits back into her seat, collapsing in exhaustion. Frayed nerves and a couple scrapes. Nothing permanent, that's what matters.
"Let's get off the streets, and then coordinate with the suit."

Elodie's grip on the steering wheel loosens as she realizes that, due to some stroke of amazing luck, they're leaving their pursuers behind. Once she's made her way back to legal speeds, the adrenaline that was rushing through her body has calmed down enough that she trusts her voice again. "Are both of you alright?" she asks her companions on the trailblazer.
Then there's a noise from her bag, a few instrumental bars from one of her old songs, signaling an incoming text message. "I assume that's one of the others. Mister Palmer, would you be able to read that for me?"

Reiji glances at the wreckage in his rearview mirror, shaking his head as a disappointed parent. "Like I said, seatbelts. Good fucking riddance though," he says, turning his attention back to the road and navigating toward Li Fei's designated meetup spot.
"Nice job back there, Red. Would hate to see how that'd have gone without your little trick there. Just glad we're in one piece, and the car too." He gives the steering wheel a gentle pat. "Probably needs some repairs, but would've sucked to total this thing before we could even get the cigarette smoke out of the seats." He smirks and lets out a chuckle, switching the radio to a lo-fi station now that the danger has passed.

Li Fei hardly registers the opportunity of their ill-begotten car, the beginnings of a cyber-induced migraine already coming on. She hums a response to Reiji, pinching the bridge of her nose and closing her eyes for a moment. The after-image of her avatar's perspective blurs atop her own. Haven't pushed it like that since academy. This shit burns.

"I am alright, yes," Ryoko responds, as she fully returns to her seat, buckling back in for the hopefully calm ride ahead. She is better behind the wheel under pressure than I'd have expected, given her background. That is a useful surprise. "Hopefully we can get this back to our employer with no further issues and be done with it. She can deal with that gang going forward, and we can find better employment after."

For the rendezvous Li Fei picks a quiet alleyway, a couple of blocks from her shop, nestled between a less than popular noodle bar and a seedy adult VR store. Despite having gotten separated somewhat during your escape attempt, you pull up within a minute or so of each other, parking amongst the dumpsters that line the alley.

The rest of the ride is enough for Li Fei to snap out of her fatigue. In the cover of the alley and so close to home for her, she feels safe once more — even if she knows it's only temporary.
When the Trailblazer pulls alongside, the Red Devil rolls down the window. "Not every night you see a pink shitbox and a banged up taxi win a race against two mooks on crotch-rockets and a pickup truck full of gunmen. I'm willing to bet half of Hawthorne saw that light show back there."
She cracks a confident smile, though it doesn't stay long.
"Night's not over yet. Asher still needs her wheels, and Northlake's probably combing the blocks. Might be more trouble. I'll call Herk."
Li Fei slips her phone out, tapping in the call request.

Elodie opens the car door and jumps out, thankful for the lack of lack of people trying to hurt them for a moment. "Of course. My reports must be as complete as possible," she says meaningfully to Li Fei, and she starts inspecting every nook and cranny of the Trailblazer.

"Just don't take anything that'll get corpo goons sent after us, yeah? Seen enough movies where someone gets iced because they knew too much," Reiji says with a hint of unease in his voice, though still relieved they escaped their pursuers mostly unscathed. Gonna have to get this cab to a body shop or something. Not exactly subtle when half the paint is scraped off the side.

"We already know too much based on what I pulled off Northlake's server," Li Fei says, her tone dismissive. "If the suits are looking to send their death-squads, our intel might work as blackmail. Dead man's switch and a secure file detailing Miss Asher's low rent drug running will get top clicks on New Sev News."
Not like they really give a shit. I assume every corpo's got skin in the game with the drug trade. But they really don't like when the mask comes off.

Elodie spends a few minutes going over the interior of the Trailblazer searching for the secret compartment mentioned in Asher's messages to the North Lake Outfit. Eventually she finds a panel that sounds more hollow than the others. Some further searching quickly turns up the existence of a hidden latch that allows the panel to come away revealing the smuggler's hold beneath, lined and hardened against any scanners.
Nestled inside are three large tape wrapped packages of what appears to be Ambrosia, weighing about a kilo each.

As far as you know, the street value of Ambroisia is about $10,000 per kilo, although that would be the take for a drug dealer selling it over time using their infrastructure built up over time. Moving it quickly, selling to a fence, you could expect to receive anywhere from 10-25% depending on the fence and effort involved.

"Woah, look at that score!" Li Fei cheers at Elodie, coming over to look over her shoulder. "You sure you're not a spook? That was some real spook shit there." She weighs one of the sacks casually in her palm, cocking her head as she crunches numbers.
"You're looking at a few kilos of product right here. To someone like Asher with the infrastructure to move it, this is worth something like 30 grand. If we took it and pawned it as quick as we'd need to, I think we'd clear 5, maybe 10."
That'd buy me out of my current problems and then some, she realizes. I don't know anything about moving drugs, but I could certainly learn. Can't be too hard if idiots like Northlake are doing it.

"I doubt we need to worry, mister del Rayo. It's as miss Li Fei says - though I prefer to call it insurance over blackmail." Elodie says. And she really does think that there's no need to worry, until she runs into the hidden compartment and realizes that three kilograms of Ambrosia might complicate matters.
"I can assure you I am no spook. I am simply a good assistant who picked up some of her employer's skills," she tells Li Fei, though there's an air of pride in her words. She listens to Li Fei's assessment of the Ambrosia's value and feels conflicted. Selling drugs would feel like another step backwards, but she's not in a position to say no to any extra money. "It would be very easy to pin the disappearance of this stash on the Northlakes," she says matter-of-factly. "But selling drugs is not my field of expertise and I don't think I am particularly suited for learning."

Reiji shrugs at Elodie's words before his eyes go wide at the contraband discovery. "Nothing to worry about, huh," he says, somewhat shocked that an exec had such a stash hidden away. Guess her fat paycheck and stock options weren't enough. Everyone has a side hustle these days. "Might be hard to move it on our own and not have it come back to us. Asher's probably got enough fuck you money to loosen whatever lips she needs to. Assuming she even gives a damn about 30Gs missing. But she gave a damn about this truck, so..." His voice trails, considering their options.

"Either we pawn it, or turn it into Asher ourselves. That's ten grand of cash, or thirty grand of loyalty," Li Fei explains. "Last I checked, the exchange rate of loyalty to dollars looks like shit."
So what if she traces it back to us? We won't have the drugs or the funds at that point. And we'll still have a back-up plan for releasing some embarrassing intel about her little operation here. She'd be smart to just move on.

"Alright, you're gonna wanna drive the shitbox back to Asher's lockup," Li Fei suggests with a nod toward Reiji. "Northlake's gotta be sniffing every alleyway of Hawthorne. If they catch sight of us, we'll handle them. You just get that thing moved and back to being Asher's problem, not ours."
She climbs back into the taxicab passenger seat, pulling out a pair of handguns she'd lifted from the gangers. Replacing the spent rounds, she tests their weight before shrugging and putting them back into her pack.
Then, she takes the ganger's radio back out, listening for any transmissions over the air. They probably know they're compromised, but maybe some dipshit forgot to switch freqs.

"They've gone quiet," Li Fei whines, waving the confiscated Northlake radio out the window. "Probably switched to another frequency once we hit their depot. Or... yeah, maybe we just fucked them all up back there."
She hurls it toward the nearest wall before slapping the side of the taxi's door with a triad of dull thuds. "Let's move."

"Yep, been there before," Ryoko responds to her cousin, adding after a beat, "as the corpo goon doing the icing, that is. I can't say I want to experience that from the other side."
When the drugs come out, she rolls her eyes at the find. Of course she has drugs. All the corpos have drugs, what else would it ever be? She lets the others argue about what to do with it, confident that whatever their decision, she'd be prepared to assist in either safely selling the haul, or ending anyone coming to punish them for taking it.
"I doubt that's the end of them," Ryoko responds to Li Fei, as the mention of Northlake's silence is made. "Doubt they got much left in them to pursue more tonight, though. Probably gonna be a smooth ride back to the garage, at least if they know what's good for them."

You climb back into the two vehicles and pull out of the alleyway and into the flow of traffic. The drive takes a tense fifteen minutes- you keep your eyes open and your heads on the swivel, but thankfully there is no sign of any more Northlake gangers.
You pull up into the small yard outside Asher's lockup, which is now illuminated by harsh bright white flood lights. A slick black SUV is parked to one side, while three figures stand waiting for you. One, a clean shaved man dressed in a sharp black suit, stands at the front of the group, while they are flanked by a pair of what are unmistakably corp security, dressed in light armoured combat suits and wielding combat rifles.
"Excellent, Miss Asher will be pleased. I suppose you'll be wanting your payment?" The suit says as you step out of the cars.

The suit reaches into his breast pocket, pulling out a neatly wrapped stack of notes. He flicks through it, weighing it in his hand for a moment as if considering something. He briefly glances at the armed man and woman to either side of him before finally speaking.
"Here," he says, tossing the cash to Li Fei. "You can go now," he adds with a dismissive wave.

Li Fei catches the cash, ignoring the man's dismissive wave as the call of fifteen grand wins out against the urge to make a shitty remark. If only it was all for me, she pouts, peering down at it. I'd be able to have a real clinic set up. 'Red Devil Repair' in red and yellow neon. Better locks on the doors so that creep Alominez stays out of my shit. And a proper fucking chair for once...
"Pile in and we'll sort out the split," she says, climbing back into the passenger seat of the taxi — already fanning the bills into small piles. One-thousand... two-thousand... three-thousand...

"Hell yeah," Reiji says, pocketing his take after sliding back into the driver's seat. "Guess we don't need to save for a shared ride anymore, but this thing'll need some repairs in case we run into trouble again." Northlake paint scraped on the side isn't a good look.
He looks to the others as he starts up the cab. "So where to? Bite to eat or something?"

"Too much of that stuff'll clog your arteries, faux or not," Reiji retorts, eyeing Kindred in his rearview mirror. Honestly probably more than real meat would. Who knows what the hell they put in that stuff? The driver shakes his head. "Nah, we just got paid. We should at least step up to a sit-down joint like ChowMain or Murray's Thursdays, ya know?"

"Clog my arteries, eh? Don't buy into the Bodytemple cult and their anti spare parts drivel. Most burger chains rely on returning customers, kid. That's why Now burger gives away 10% off coupons for artificial-arteries from Now burger medical with every quintuple-nownow." Kindred replies, with a rare hint of excitement in his voice.
"Though I am no difficult eater. Let's avoid Orange Alex's Restaurant though. They got real meat, but you don't want to know just how locally it is sourced." Kindred replies.

Li Fei snorts at Kindred's diatribe. "What are you, a brand ambassador for these guys? Hope you get a good commission."
She tosses her hands up dismissively. "I don't care. ChowMain's or a burger joint is fine. There's always Pho Phreak, too. If you really want sit-down, there's the Rowdy Peach just across the street from my shop. It's dark, and quiet, and we can figure out what the hell is next — getting this Ambrosia off our hands."

"You know what they say girl. All Megacorps are shit, but at 16 everyone picks one they have a soft spot for for the rest of their lives." Kindred says, casually brushing away Li Feis comment. "You strike me as a Prometheus gall, AGK maybe. Definitely not Kurosawa or Robodyne."
