A cold smile crosses your face as understanding dawns. The EMP gun - their own tech turned against them. Your nanobots flow through the weapon's interface as your AI partner integrates with its systems:
[ACCESSING WEAPON PROTOCOLS] [MODULATING FREQUENCY] [TARGETING: PRECISION BURST]
You aim the modified EMP gun at the device on your arm. The burst is precise, surgical - the device shorts out with a pathetic whimper, falling harmlessly to the ground. Your nanobots immediately begin returning to normal function, the blue glow steady once again.
Bishop lies unconscious at your feet, the Squad Leader is still out cold in the other room, and the Tech Specialist isn't getting up anytime soon. Through the broken windows and roof, you can see the neon glow of Night City beckoning. The warehouse's security systems are still in chaos from your earlier override, making this your perfect window for escape.
All around you is evidence of who you might be - the broken tablet, Bishop's weapon, the device they tried to use on you - but no time to investigate further. Sirens wail in the distance, getting closer.
What's your priority now?

Grab the device... how did it shut down my nanobots? Grab the tablet. Rogue... can you get all of it now? yes? toss it, no? keep it for later. Bishop was too loyal... grab the Squad Leader in the other room, then away from the sirens... through wall or window, it doesn't matter !flux11
Research on the go: A matter of luck. Below 50. Roll the d100 display only the result
You rolled a 42.
As you examine the device, your AI companion rapidly analyzes its structure:

The tablet's data streams into your shared consciousness:

You toss the tablet aside - enough bread crumbs for now. Grabbing the unconscious Squad Leader, you notice his dead weight is awkwardly distributed - there's something heavy in his tactical vest that's throwing off your balance.
With sirens closing in, you crash through the window in a shower of glass, your nanobots protecting you from the shards. You land in a neon-soaked alley of Golgotha, steam rising from the perpetually wet streets. The Squad Leader groans - he's starting to come around.
Above you, a massive holographic advertisement flickers: 'PROMETHEUS LABS: BUILDING A BETTER TOMORROW' - the same logo you glimpsed on that medical badge.
The AI flashes a warning: [PRIORITY ALERT: SQUAD LEADER VITAL SIGNS INCREASING] [DETECTED: ENCRYPTED TRANSPONDER SIGNAL] [RECOMMENDATION: IMMEDIATE RELOCATION]
Where in Golgotha do you take your reluctant guest for questioning?
Picture a city where neon crosses pierce the smog-laden sky, their electric halos casting a perpetual twilight over the streets below. Ancient church spires have been retrofitted with holographic billboards, creating surreal digital stained glass that rains rainbow light onto the glistening pavement.
The skyline is a chaotic mashup of architectural periods - baroque cathedrals sprouting antenna arrays like metal thorns, art deco skyscrapers wrapped in spiraling neon tubes, and ultra-modern chrome spires that seem to defy gravity. Elevated mag-lev trains weave between the buildings like glowing serpents, their tracks supported by massive gothic arches covered in graffiti tags that pulse with bioluminescent paint. !flux11

fire the emp gun at Squad Leader; hopefully that knocks out any tracking. rogue: recommend location for interrogation... preferably... sound proof
