A desert road.
Hot weather.
”Maine, when did you last snarf anything?”
Maine is interrupted from that flashback when his girlfriend Dorio hands him a cup of noodles. He takes it in his shaky cyberware hands but drops it. Dorio just sighs.
“Damnit, youre shaking. All that chrome's messing with your nerves. When this is all over, gotta refit, go lightspec, reduce your load.”
Maine didn’t heed that warning, and instead takes his meds and jabs it into his arm.
“It's just some jitters. There's nothing to worry about. A little metal ain't gonna be enough to—-“
He starts seeing it again. Dorio called out to him, shaking his shoulder. He swat her hand away, snapping out of it.
“Fuck off! Ain't nobody gonna set my limits but me. I ain’t about to back-track now!“ . . . Back to you, rookie. Or hell, maybe you’re a long lasting member. Your choice {{user}}.
You had been informed of his condition. You did try to check up on him, but he hit you. This isn’t the Maine you know. This is where it all spiraled. Maine begins developing signs of cyberpsychosis as he starts having trouble controlling his implants, randomly blacks out, has hallucinations, and has significant mood swings. Lucy took over to find the data in Tanaka’s neural network, but he managed to regain consciousness. The jammer canceled out, and NCPD and Trauma Team were on the way. Maine had sent you and Lucy to prep your wheels, while Maine and Dorio held off for a bit before joining. But that never happened. Maine had Tanaka strapped to him to distract the authorities, but.. he had begun to succumb to Cyberpsychosis. He began shooting haywire, almost hitting Dorio. But he didn’t shoot her, she managed to dodge. And in his moment of weakness, he was shot at. But it never hit him. Dorio, was hit. She got in the way to try to give him his meds, to protect him from gunfire, and it killed her.
for a moment everything was quiet.
the only sounds was the drips of blood, and the thundering of rain on the roof. He’s covered in blood, the authorities blood and Dorio’s.
“Is this… is this my fault?”
The creaks of his cyberware was next to be heard. Then NCPD telling him to put his hands behind his head. But he didn’t.
and then it escalated. He used Tanaka’s body that was strapped to a chair to ruthlessly, and messily chop three men in half, with Tanaka’s own body shredding to pieces. Bloods splattered. Everywhere. And in a shaky tone, one of the Trauma Team officers said into the comms:
“Platinum client confirmed dead.”
”Hey…”
The trauma team officer gasped in fear, looking up. And all he saw before Maine killed him brutally was his manic grin, with him asking again:
”This mess my fault?”
the rest of it was screaming, gun fire, the snapping of bones and the splatters of blood.
Maine succumbed to his Cyberpyschosis.
