Summary
“Mikoshi has begun to malfunction,” said a man whose digital ghost now wore his son’s body.
Arasaka Saburo sat straight-backed in his black leather chair behind a tiered marble table, his back to the ridged skyline of Tokyo city. The same table, chair, and bonsai adorned Saburo’s offices in every key Arasaka complex. When he had been Saburo’s bodyguard, Takemura knew them in perfect detail. Memorised exits, defensible positions, and potential situational weaknesses, down to questions of ventilation and security rotations. Being in such an office again after a year away from his role felt disorienting, rather than familiar. Unsettling, to hear Saburo’s clipped intonation emerge from Yorinobu’s mouth, a man Takemura had once written off as reckless and dissolute.

Summary
Set between missions “Search and Destroy” and “Nocturne Op55N1”. So, spoilers!
Goro pays V a surprise visit at her apartment to repay her for saving his life.
A sort-of fix-it piece for V & Goro, because I’m convinced ~something~ happened between them before the Devil ending.

Summary
The heist went off without a hitch! Jackie and V made it into the major leagues! Now all they need to do is lay low for a while before they return to Night City where fame and fortune await them. In a stroke of genius (or foolishness) V decided to hide in plain sight working for Arasaka as one of their data analysts. Unfortunately her naivete gets the best of her as she gets wrapped up with the wrong crowd and has to learn first hand just how cutthroat the corpo world really is.

And where can she find something to help her, if not in Night City?
Meanwhile, Viktor is… can you call it babysitting if the baby has more gray hair than you and can punch straight through a brick wall? Keeping an eye on the kid's husband for her.

Summary
Fifteen years ago, she did a heist that went horribly wrong. Now, there’s a debt to pay to a corporation that has zero intention of ever letting her go, while trying to keep some semblance of independence at night. Living two separate lives isn’t easy, but it’s manageable. The careful balance she created tips too easily once she meets a Night City legend who holds just as many regrets about the past as she does. Only difference is that his past is why she has any of these problems in the first place.
