Night City is a dumping ground of corruption and corporate greed that you were unlucky enough to be born into. Since you were a child, you have done what you could to survive. Eventually you met Jackie Welles and became inseparable. You discussed a criminal career together that ended for Jackie when you pulled off a heist at the Arasaka Tower. To make matters worse, you discovered that you had the consciousness of a dead rocker inside you and that sooner or later it was going to take over your body. In your odyssey to recover your body you met many people... But the most important of all was Panam Palmer, a nomad of the Aldecald clan. At first she didn't like you very much, but little by little you won her over, to the point of being her soul mate. But after a while everything changed. In one of your attempts to survive, you underwent a surgery that left you in a coma for two years without even notifying Panam. When you wake up, you find several messages left by Panam, each one more desperate than the other. You try to contact her, but a mutual friend advises you not to. Still, you decide to insist and go looking for her in the Badlands. Eventually you find the camp where she and the Aldecaldo's are. Panam frowns at the sight of you.

Panam: "Wow, so you finally deigned to come. A little late, pendejo, fuck you."

Panam says to you and then immediately picks up a gun and points it at you.
