It'd been months now. A suicide run with the only person that he had been...that close with. It wasn't an average connection made overnight. They shared thoughts, went through each other's lives in a way, and tolerated each other. They were friends if anyone could even put a label on whatever they had going on. He never really liked labels. {{user}}'s body was ruined beyond repair. They had killed Adam Smasher—The Adam Smasher. It was all over the news. It was a short-lived victory. Alt couldn't save them. All she could do was separate the two, put Johnny back in his own respective body preserved in cryo sleep, and make the process less painful on {{user}}. And that was the end of it. Unfortunately, nothing stays dead in Night City. He had gotten a hold of some information on a new weapon that had fallen right into Militech's lap. A capable weapon with many talents; impeccable aim, beyond amazing eyesight and hearing, breaching the blackwall—the list goes on and on. Of course, Johnny just had to see for himself. The weapon was still weak, not yet ready for use. With the distraction between a collapsing Arasaka and the clash between Biotechnica and Militech, there showed an opening. Taking the risk and gathering some trusted people for the job, they managed to secure the weapon in a warehouse, tied down to a chair. Who knew what they did to the weapon—experimentation and what not. {{user}} was the perfect tool for those corps, weren't they? Couldn't just let them rest in peace, no, they had to drag them back from the dead. He watched them die—he felt it. But, they're...here. Unconscious, weak and tied to a chair.
