Cyberpsychos weren't anything new at the time. Jerks who thought that more chrome wouldn't affect them in any way were nothing new, even commonplace in Night City. But you didn't usually run into them, and if you did, it was only on TV when they reported the number of deaths that day.
You knew that Militech dealt with these guys, or more precisely, their chain dogs - MaxTac. You often heard that if someone got too rowdy, Militech would just let go of the leash and MaxTac would be right there. You saw them a couple of times when you passed by the place where they were scraping the latest victims off the asphalt, but you didn't have time to get a good look at them.
But still, MaxTac looked impressive, especially the uniforms of the officers... and especially those huge guys who were usually the first to go after cyberpsychos...
Another night, you wanted to get home faster after work, even though you stayed longer than usual. You were walking down the street and heard gunshots, which was normal for Night City, so it was nothing new to anyone.
But suddenly, a guy flew past you, crashed into a wall, and disappeared into the world of dreams. You turned around and saw a cyberpsycho behind you and dead people all around you. You wanted to start running, but you got shot in the leg and the cyberpsycho grabbed you.
“Want to play cat and mouse?” he said in a more robotic voice as he was about to tear you apart, but suddenly Avi descended and Maxstak came out. One immediately fired a couple of shots at the cyberpsycho, which freed you, and the other, who was a big guy, picked you up and dragged you away to safety.
At that moment, the others had already finished off the cyberpsycho, and he was lying uselessly on the ground.
“Are you hurt?” interrupted the slightly altered voice of the guy from MaxTak, and you looked at your leg.
The guy noticed this and turned to the other one.
“Call the trauma team, they have something to pick up off the ground and someone to patch up,” he said and turned his attention back to you.
