PRIVATE Putting the crew together: The Anarchist [Ask]

[Ghost]

South West Coastal Badlands, Old Service Road, The Choke
Fixer: Rico "Shortwave" Vasquez​

Gig was simple, pick up a car and drive whatever was in its trunk to a destination. He didn't know what kind of car they'd be driving or what kind of cargo. Believe you me, he'd asked repeatedly. But jobs were few, and he needed eddies, so he took what he could get. The old service road led to a half-flooded tunnel. Word was it connected to a submerged underground subway, long abandoned but not so much these days.. As Lefty dropped him off, they exchanged quick goodbyes before his friend sped off. Hopefully, this would be the last job he'd need to bum a ride for.

A sturdy black Chevillon Thrax 388 waited for him, thick, bulletproof, and an absolute bitch to handle. Leaning against it was a woman with wild, unkempt green hair streaked with electric hues. Augmentations shimmered subtly across her face, but her eyes—fully modded—stood out. She wore tactical gear twisted with an anarchist flair, her utility pants strapped with cutting tools, EMP devices, and more than a few explosives. Black wire gloves covered her hands, her fingers fitted with high-end implants—like she could jack into a MaxTac terminal and still walk away clean.

"Yo, you Ghost?" Sickle leaned off the car, tapping its side.
"Yeah, that's me." Ghost confirmed.
"Word is you can drive."
"Word ain't wrong." He locked eyes with her.

She threw open the passenger door and dropped in. "Then let's burn some road, streetrat." A grin set on her face as she slammed the door shut behind her.

Ghost slid into the driver's seat, the engine roaring to life soon after, sturdy inside as it was out. He looked over, "Where we headed?" asking again, really wanting the details.

Sickle smirked, lighting a cigarette. "I call you haul. Keep it smooth and don't choke." She propped her boots up on the dashboard. "Through Pacifica, head for Santo Domingo. No brakes and no bullshit." She exhaled, and they started off.

For one wild ride.

[NPC Storyteller]

As they sped down the ancient asphalt of the service road, the Chevillon Thrax 388 began to hum with life, reverberating through the cabin. Sickle's laughter filled the air, a mix of anticipation and adrenaline as the road ahead twisted like a serpent, swallowing them into the chaotic embrace of Night City's heart.

Ghost tightened his grip on the wheel, the car's weight throwing him slightly to the side, but he embraced the challenge. The engine growled in response, eager to break free. Sickle exhaled another plume of smoke, watching the cityscape morph behind them through the tinted windows. She ran a finger along the dashboard, her eyes glinting beneath the neon glow that began flickering on the outskirts of Pacifica.

"C'mon, you got this!" Sickle encouraged, her excitement palpable. "Make sure we leave a mark, yeah? Just a little chaos on their weekend plans!" She gave an amused glance into the side mirror.

The urban sprawl of Pacifica loomed, a stark contrast to the dilapidated remnants of the old world they'd just left behind. Ghost could feel it—the pulse of the city rising, thrumming like the bass in a crowded club. He could almost taste the tension in the air; the Tyger Claws' turf was just ahead, and with it the promise of trouble.

"Watch it; don't let 'em box us in," Sickle warned, eyeing the dark silhouettes of the Tyger Claws loitering at the intersection ahead. They were easy to spot, adorned in their signature hues, sharp tattoos glistening under the dim streetlights. Ghost could see them and the way their eyes flicked towards the approaching vehicle, recognition sparking.

Just then, a pair of bikes roared to life, Tyger Claws revving their engines as they shot toward the Thrax—gleaming chrome and malicious grins. Ghost pressed down harder on the gas, feeling the car's power surge. "Hold on!" he shouted, heart hammering as the landscape blurred outside.

With a sideways glance, Sickle reached for her gear. "They're itching for a fight! Let's give 'em one they'll never forget!" She flicked a switch on her gloves, and the EMP devices glowed ominously, ready to unleash chaos.

As they sped into the heart of Pacifica, flanked by the sound of high-powered engines revving behind them, the streets became a labyrinth of flickering neon signs and shattered glass. Sickle tossed a glance at Ghost, nodding in time with the pulse of the chase, the rhythm of danger blending with the mounting thrill.

"Get ready!" Sickle yelled, launching a small grenade backward from the rear window. It soared through the air, landing smack between the pursuing bikes. A bright flash erupted, a shockwave erupting from the impact, sending one of the bikers sprawling off the road and into a graffiti-laden wall.

Ghost grinned, adrenaline coursing through him. "Looks like they're not used to that kind of welcome!"

But it was not just the bikers. The street ahead twisted sharply into an alley littered with refuse and retreating shadows. Ghost swung the car, feeling the slick handling of the Thrax grip the corner. The tires screeched as they navigated the narrow passage, squeezing past discarded shipping crates and old urban debris.

"Nice!" Sickle cheered, eyes wide with exhilaration as they emerged back onto the main road, the Tyger Claws struggling to regain their chase, fury blazing in their eyes. Sickle's hands were dancing over her gear, gearing up for another weapon, another move. Ghost could only focus on the road ahead, the pulsating thrill of the chase echoing in their wake.

They shot through Pacifica, the city alive and screaming, the sounds of pursuit harmonizing with the neon lights flashing by, each corner possibly opening up yet another chaos or opportunity. And as they barreled toward Santo Domingo, Ghost felt a smirking grin split his face—this was not just another job; this was living on the edge with a partner ready to ride out the storm.

In the distance, the horizon shimmered with promise, and behind them, the Tyger Claws were not ready to let go just yet. The chase had only just begun.

In the distance, the horizon shimmered with promise, and behind them, the Tyger Claws were not ready to let go just yet. The chase had only just begun.

Anarchist explosions, bikes, and a chase—the last five minutes had been a blur. Instinct had taken over, adrenaline beating through his veins as Pacifica sung its own song. The Chevillon Thrax 388 handled like a bloated pig on wheels, fast when it got going, but cornering, forget it. Tough ride though, but how tough?

"Shortcut." Ghost yanked the wheel, sending them skidding into a narrow alley.

Sickle raised an eyebrow, taking a slow drag from her cigarette. The anarchist didn't look convinced. Bikers digging in at their heels, snarling engines chewing up the wet, grimy asphalt. She reached into her vest, pulling out a homemade explosive, bare wires twisted into a chaotic mess, above the bomb a fuse just waiting for a fire. And a cigarette with its name on it. "Some shortcut." Sickle Deadpanned.

Shots rang out. Up ahead, two more bikes blocked their alley escape, their riders already unloading rounds at the Thrax's bulletproof hide. Sparks dented against reinforced plating. Sickle exhaled smoke, then lit the fuse with the glowing end of her cigarette. "Cover your ears, streetrat." She lobbed the homemade explosive behind them at the chasing bikers, the fuse sputtering down like watching a cheap but determined firework ready for the payoff.

Ghost accelerated toward the bikes ahead, gripping the wheel tight. More shots bouncing off the reinforced plating "Buckle up. Firecracker." He grinned at their banter, but stayed focused ahead, he was either breaking through the biker's blockade or getting turned into scrap. Metal met metal, tires screamed. And sickle's explosion lit up the alley behind them.

The alley closed in around them, the graffiti-splattered walls reflecting the flashing chaos behind. Sickle nestled the explosive into her palm, the weight familiar yet electrifying. She stared at the bikers—a pair of Tyger Claws, wild sparks in their eyes—gunning their engines and firing their weapons like rabid dogs.

"Some shortcut," she muttered, skepticism dripping from her voice, but she trusted Ghost's instinct. It was a fast ride, and they needed to outmaneuver these predators.

The bullets pinged violently against the Thrax's armor, a symphony of destruction that ignited her adrenaline further. "Cover your ears, streetrat," she warned, the fuse lighting her way to sweet chaos. She launched the explosive backward, a calculated toss that sailed through the air like a shooting star.

The fuse sputtered, the sound echoing in her ears, blending with the roar of the motorcycles. She turned just in time to see the explosive connect with the first bike, the explosion erupting in a fiery brilliance that showered debris across the alley. Metal screamed; one biker went flying, while the other swerved desperately to avoid the raging firestorm.

"Let 'em burn!" Sickle cackled, another deep drag from her cigarette feeding her thirst for chaos, leaving the alley littered with the aftermath as they sped forward.

Up ahead, she could see the blockade forming; two more Tyger Claws were waiting, weapons aimed, eyes narrowed with menace. The alley was cramped, but she could feel the car's power surging, and Ghost was determined, just as reckless.

"Here we go!" she breathed, danger igniting her passions. Miles of Pacifica stretched out ahead, but they needed to break through this obstacle first. Arms taut, she scanned for any sign of an opening or an opportunity, ready to unleash another surprise from her arsenal at a moment's notice.

The Thrax roared forward, tires screeching as they barreled toward the bikers, and as the tension peaked, Sickle was ready to unleash chaos once more—a hunter in a city that thrived on brutality. She braced herself for impact, knowing all too well that this was the only way through.

Impact. Jolted forward and then back against the seat, a crunching punch. The bumper bent in, one Claw diving for cover, the other not making it in time. Metal shattered, shards flying, and a bike exploded in a shower of sparks.

"Ha hah!" Sickle howled a laugh, flipping off the Tyger Claw still standing. "Better luck next time, gutter trash!"

Ghost yanked the handbrake hard, the heavy car jolting into an unwanted slide before he corrected it, turning into the slide to get traction, and then gunned it forward. Santo Domingo ahead, a quieter patch, at least for now. He glanced over as Sickle stubbed out her cigarette and flicked it out the window, the last embers of fire behind them dying to the wind.

"Not too bad," Ghost grinned.

"Eh, you'll do," Sickle smirked, swapping out her mag, letting it drop to find another. "Car's a beast, who's driving who?"

Ghost snorted, wondering how many pockets she had. "So where next?"

"Through Santo Domingo to Watson," she said, holstering her weapon. "Same deal, no stopping for any gonk."

"Any chance you'll spill what we're hauling?" Ghost pressed.

"Not one in hell, choom," she shot back with a sideways grin. "Mystery's half the fun, yeah?"

Not to him! The ride through the factory roads was smoother, not safe, but steady. Nobody looked too eager to test them. The quiet held, up until Watson. That's where things always got messy.

The impact jolted Sickle against her seat, spine pressing hard against the padded cushion as the Thrax hammered into the remaining Tyger Claw rider. She could feel the car shudder as it caught the biker off guard; a satisfying crunch echoed, metal against flesh, followed by a burst of sparks as the bike exploded in a fiery display.

"Ha hah!" Sickle barked out, delight crackling in her voice. She flipped off the remaining Claw, her inner anarchist reveling in the chaos they'd just wrought. "Better luck next time, gutter trash!"

Ghost expertly yanked the handbrake, the heavy Thrax sliding unnaturally before he kicked it back under control. They shot into the main street, Santo Domingo stretching ahead, the atmosphere thick with tension yet momentarily free of predators. Sickle stowed her last cigarette, watching the embers flicker before they vanished into the wind.

"Eh, you'll do," she replied with a smirk, swapping her mag for a fresh one, eyes scanning the surroundings as she slid it into her weapon. Ghost's unspoken concern about her arsenal flirted across her mind, but there was no time to explain.

"Through Santo Domingo to Watson," she instructed, her voice low and purposeful, body twitching with the thrill of the chase still buzzing through her veins. "Same deal, no stopping for any gonk."

She could almost feel Ghost's itch for answers about their cargo. "Not one in hell, choom," she shot back, a smile tugging at her lips as she caught a glimpse of him. "Mystery's half the fun, yeah?"

They cruised past crumbling factories and shuttered shops, the quieter patch holding its breath around them, giving way to a facade of calm. Sickle's instincts buzzed, scanning for any sign of trouble lurking in the shadows. It was all too easy here. Danger was always waiting to pounce.

As they neared Watson, the ambiance shifted. The abandoned warehouses framed the roadway like a prison, each corner hiding a potential ambush. The dim light cast long shadows, and Sickle could feel the tension thrumming through her skin like a live wire.

Suddenly, a gang of Maelstrom boosters burst from a side alley, a chaotic splash of color and chrome. Clad in their signature straps and implants, they whipped out weapons, their eyes lighting up with madness. The lead biker swung a heavy lead pipe over his head, roaring a call for blood.

Sickle's heart raced, adrenaline spiking as she instinctively reached for her grenade belt. "Here we go!" she shouted, adrenaline igniting her senses. They wouldn't be getting through without a fight.

A barrage of gunfire erupted as the Maelstrom wasted no time, bullets rippling through the air like deadly rain. "Watch out!" Sickle urged, flinging a grenade into the approaching fray, a beautiful arc promising destruction.

With the chaos unfurling, Sickle leaned out of the window, ready to unleash another round of ruthless anarchic fun. Watson's fuse had been lit, and the ride was about to plunge into madness once more.

With the chaos unfurling, Sickle leaned out of the window, ready to unleash another round of ruthless anarchic fun. Watson's fuse had been lit, and the ride was about to plunge into madness once more.

Pretty easy all the way through Santo Domingo. They'd passed north of the city center with barely a squeak, Ghost doing his best to stay off corpo radar. He was starting to enjoy the ride, then they hit south Watson. Two seconds in, and Maelstrom.

"Drek, Maelstrom. Everywhere I go, these freaks!" Ghost snarled, sideswiping the car toward a biker who barely pulled away in time. Starting to develop a history with the over-chromed opticheads. The gonk wobbled but kept his balance, reaching for his piece. Ghost had to close the gap before the guy got a shot off and this time, he clipped him hard, sending him crashing into a post and leaving another wreck burning on the road.

Sickle was having way too much fun. Lobbing grenades like candy, grinning like a devil. Gunfire rattled their ride, the rear passenger window starting to buckle, hissing with fractures and cracks. Ghost ducked instinctively, avoiding the inevitable shatter.

"Not gonna be much of a ride left at this rate!" If he was keeping the car as payment, which he figured was the deal, it wasn't looking great.

"Ain't this car, choom," Sickle shot back, taking a swig from a battered flask that smelled like Watson gutter whiskey. Then she reached under her seat and yanked out a damn assault rifle. "You drive, I shoot. Keep it simple." Sickle stood out of the custom sunroof, the thunder above turned into a hailstorm of hot brass casings raining down.

Flying down the road, Maelstrom bikers on either side, trading fire in a crowded street, it was only a matter of time before the NCPD got called, if they weren't already on the way.

"Where next?" Ghost asked urgently, feeling more exposed, dodging a commuter on his way to work.

"Japantown."

The streets of Watson erupted into chaos, the ride turning into a relentless hustle. Sickle stood out of the Thrax's sunroof, her silhouette a stark contrast against the urban decay surrounding them. Gunfire sliced through the air as they weaved between Maelstrom bikers, their grotesque figures swarming like hornets, eager for blood. The atmosphere crackled with danger, and Sickle thrived off it, adrenaline surging in her veins.

"Drek, Maelstrom. Everywhere I go, these freaks!" Ghost's voice cut through the noise as he swerved, catching one biker and sending him crashing into a lamppost. The satisfying crunch of metal was music to her ears.

With a devilish grin, Sickle hefted her assault rifle, feeling its weight settle comfortably in her hands. "You drive, I shoot. Keep it simple," she declared, a wicked gleam in her eye. She wasn't just a passenger anymore; she was a participant in this glorious dance of destruction.

Sickle squeezed the trigger, hot brass casings raining down from above as she unleashed a storm of bullets. The kick of the rifle against her shoulder felt gloriously powerful, each round tearing into the colorful chaos of Maelstrom. Bikers went down in their wake, screaming as they lost control, their vibrant bikes becoming twisted, smoking wrecks on the pavement.

But amid the fray, the heat was rising. A hail of gunfire rained back at them, the rear passenger window shattering under the pressure. Glass exploded everywhere within the cabin. The air filled with acrid smoke and the metallic tang of danger. Sickle ducked instinctively, already keenly aware that this was no casual drive.

She quickly scanned the battlefield, eyes darting for their escape route. Bikers flanked them, every corner revealing another gauntlet of chrome and chaos, and the cacophony of sirens began to pierce the air—NCPD wasn't far behind. The clock was ticking.

"Japantown!" she yelled over the tumult, her voice laced with urgency. It was a sharper survival plan, the stitches of fate woven tighter. She adjusted her aim, felling another biker and reveling in the chaos they were unleashing.

"Time to make this ride count," she muttered, the embers of unpredictability fueling her heart. Ghost's skills were commendable, but her wild side craved pure, unhinged adrenaline—a chance to break through the madness of Watson with reckless abandon.

As they tore through the streets, Sickle could almost hear the roar of the NCPD engines gathering behind them, a reminder that while the thrill of the chase was euphoric, the web of law and order was fast closing around them. The challenge ahead was unforgiving; they needed to navigate through the relentless pursuit while keeping Ghost's precious cargo intact, all the while dodging the bullets of one of Night City's most notorious gangs.

But Sickle was ready. With an assault rifle in hand and blood pumping through her veins, she leaned back into the storm, a reckless smile plastered across her face as they raced toward Japantown. The flood of chaos awaited, and she was more than willing to dive headfirst into it.

 

[Ghost]

The streets of Watson erupted into chaos, the ride turning into a relentless hustle. Sickle stood out of the Thrax's sunroof, her silhouette a stark contrast against the urban decay surrounding them. Gunfire sliced through the air as they weaved between Maelstrom bikers, their grotesque figures swarming like hornets, eager for blood. The atmosphere crackled with danger, and Sickle thrived off it, adrenaline surging in her veins.

"Drek, Maelstrom. Everywhere I go, these freaks!" Ghost's voice cut through the noise as he swerved, catching one biker and sending him crashing into a lamppost. The satisfying crunch of metal was music to her ears.

With a devilish grin, Sickle hefted her assault rifle, feeling its weight settle comfortably in her hands. "You drive, I shoot. Keep it simple," she declared, a wicked gleam in her eye. She wasn't just a passenger anymore; she was a participant in this glorious dance of destruction.

Sickle squeezed the trigger, hot brass casings raining down from above as she unleashed a storm of bullets. The kick of the rifle against her shoulder felt gloriously powerful, each round tearing into the colorful chaos of Maelstrom. Bikers went down in their wake, screaming as they lost control, their vibrant bikes becoming twisted, smoking wrecks on the pavement.

But amid the fray, the heat was rising. A hail of gunfire rained back at them, the rear passenger window shattering under the pressure. Glass exploded everywhere within the cabin. The air filled with acrid smoke and the metallic tang of danger. Sickle ducked instinctively, already keenly aware that this was no casual drive.

She quickly scanned the battlefield, eyes darting for their escape route. Bikers flanked them, every corner revealing another gauntlet of chrome and chaos, and the cacophony of sirens began to pierce the air—NCPD wasn't far behind. The clock was ticking.

"Japantown!" she yelled over the tumult, her voice laced with urgency. It was a sharper survival plan, the stitches of fate woven tighter. She adjusted her aim, felling another biker and reveling in the chaos they were unleashing.

"Time to make this ride count," she muttered, the embers of unpredictability fueling her heart. Ghost's skills were commendable, but her wild side craved pure, unhinged adrenaline—a chance to break through the madness of Watson with reckless abandon.

As they tore through the streets, Sickle could almost hear the roar of the NCPD engines gathering behind them, a reminder that while the thrill of the chase was euphoric, the web of law and order was fast closing around them.

But Sickle was ready. With an assault rifle in hand and blood pumping through her veins, she leaned back into the storm, a reckless smile plastered across her face as they raced toward Japantown. The flood of chaos awaited, and she was more than willing to dive headfirst into it.

Ghost looked up, and Sickle grinned down wild. Eyes ablaze, everything he tried to be but never fully was. Free, even in this drekked-up city. She could pull that trigger a little too easy, he thought. But then, he'd just done the same with the car, hadn't he? Or did self-defense make it all okay when what they were hauling was responsible for the carnage?

"Heads up, chromehead, right side!" Sickle called.

Airshocks cracked above, the assault rifle rattling off rounds again behind. A shotgun blast slammed into the passenger side, shattering it and letting in the whistling air of the road. Ghost raised his pistol almost in slow motion, aiming at the car's driver, not the shooter. Three clean hits sent the car launching up a curb and through a glass window—an office soon set ablaze.

The sirens were closing in.

Shearing a turn that could've snapped the steering column in half, he barely held control. The car still handled heavier than a bad night on gutter whiskey. Tires screamed, burning up on asphalt as they tore into Japantown. Behind them, a trail of burned-out bikes, grenade-scorched pavement, and one unlucky corpo office.

"Now where?"

Sickle sent the location straight to his optics, marking it on his map. But it was too late, the Maelstrom were either wiped out, scattered, being chased or caught. Now, NCPD was on their tail. Two cruisers, lights blaring. Sickle took aim, finger resting light on the trigger, deciding where to put her shots or if to shoot at all.

Ghost turned towards a flyover ahead, grip tight on the wheel. "Ever take the fast way down?" he asked, aiming through the railing toward the road below.

The world around Sickle spun in a whirlwind of chaos and adrenaline. As Ghost's glance darted up to her, she returned his look with a wild fire in her eyes, the embodiment of freedom amidst the terror. In that moment, she felt alive, a stark contrast to the dreary confines of Night City. The thought flickered briefly—was it really self-defense if they were hauling something deadly? But it didn't matter now; the world blurred, and all that mattered was the ride.

"Heads up, chromehead, right side!" she shouted, her instincts kicking into high gear as she saw the menace coming in hot. A vehicle barreled towards them, a pair of Maelstrom freaks letting loose with a shotgun. The blast slammed into the passenger side, splintering the glass and sending shards flying into the cabin like lethal rain.

Sickle's finger was already on the trigger, her heartbeat syncing with the rhythm of chaos as she rattled off another volley from her assault rifle. The sound thundered above the engine roar, powerful and cathartic as bullets struck true. They'd been trained to kill, but in that moment, each round felt like bending the rules of the dystopian game they were forced to play.

A quick glance back revealed Ghost had dispatched the driver of the Maelstrom vehicle, a clean shot that sent their car sailing into a curb and crashing through a glass building. Flames erupted in its wake; pure chaos ignited in the remnants of the corporate world, and Sickle reveled in it, even as the sirens drew nearer.

The NCPD cruisers appeared behind them, lights flashing, gleaming metal and blue sirens cutting through the smoke of devastation. Sickle could practically taste the impending tension as they revved to catch up, officers within ready to unleash their own brand of violence. But she observed something else—a flicker of arrogance, the usual bravado of the badge in this city. They thought they could contain it; they thought they had a handle on the chaos.

"Come on, choom," Sickle muttered, angling her rifle toward the pursuing cruisers. They were closing the distance, and the decision had to be made—fight or flight. She could sense Ghost's hesitance in the air, but Sickle felt a familiar thrill, a dark anchor keeping her grounded in this madness.

With an ounce of regret but bursting excitement, Sickle squeezed the trigger and sent out a spray of bullets aimed at the tires of the lead cruiser, creating a cascade of sparks as the rounds ricocheted. She aimed for their mobility, not their lives—not yet. The goal was to send a message, a warning, that they were not easily apprehended by the likes of these badge-wielders.

The massive Thrax veered sharply as Ghost pointed toward a flyover ramp, a daring choice bristling with peril. Sickle felt the wind whip at her hair as the car ascended; she took a breath, half-excited, half-fearing the descent. The asphalt below beckoned, and with another quick glance at the enraged officers pursuing them, she aimed back down, ready for whatever chaos awaited.

Then they launched forward, airborne for a split second, turning the world upside-down. In that instant, Sickle understood: the ride down would leave an impact—one way or another. The idea of crashing through the air felt liberating. She was diving headfirst into the mayhem of Night City, where every decision carried weight, and every explosion painted their passage through the chaos. It was anarchy, and she was reveling in every moment of it.

She was diving headfirst into the mayhem of Night City, where every decision carried weight, and every explosion painted their passage through the chaos. It was anarchy, and she was reveling in every moment of it.

In his mirror, Ghost caught the line of sparks, the lead cruiser's rims grinding bare against the asphalt, chugging it to a halt. Sickle howled wild as they lurched over the railings, soon midair. Ghost tensed just before impact, the sudden drop slamming him hard against the inside roof. Above, Sickle hit the outside with a brutal jolt, her small frame bouncing off the metal. At best, she was walking away bruised, but probably more.

Flying like some poor excuse for an overfed bird, the Thrax came down hard, its reinforced weight crushing into the road below. The suspension soaked up what it could, but the undercarriage took the rest. Metal scratched against the road, carving deep scars into the surface. Sparks sprayed out like a cut wire, the shocks half-fried, and the right rear wheel wobbled off center. The dash flickered warnings in angry reds and oranges, something vital leaking onto the road behind them.

Up on the flyover, the last mobile cruiser braked hard to a halt at the edge. One officer stared down at the half-wreck below, eyes wide. "They're still rolling?!" Dispatch crackled through their comms. "Suspects airborne, yes, I said airborne!" The two cops exchanged a look, not getting the response they wanted to hear. "We don't get paid enough for this drekk." Ordered to floor it and take the drop.

If Ghost didn't shake them soon, they'd have a full lockdown response, choppers, roadblocks or worse bearing down. Sickle slapped the roof, voice all easy smiles despite the chaos. "Take this turn choom." She ducked down inside the car again, bandaging a cut on her arm.

Ghost didn't question it. He yanked the wheel and took the turn, the damaged wheel wanting to pull the opposite way. Following her lead or pulling up where she said, keeping his eyes open. "You okay?" He asked.

The Thrax slammed down onto the cracked asphalt with a bone-rattling thud, metal shrieking in protest as it crumpled against the road. Sickle felt the shock reverberate through her body, her small frame bouncing violently as the cardboard-thin barrier between exhilaration and pain blurred. As they landed, she let out a whoop, riding the high of the fall even as warnings flickered ominously on the dashboard.

She quickly assessed herself while Ghost concentrated on the road, feeling a sting from a fresh cut on her arm. Bandaging the wound with a ragged strip of cloth from her pocket, she ducked back into the cabin, grinning despite the pain. Adrenaline flooded her veins, sweetened by the chaos still brewing behind them.

Up above, the last NCPD cruiser finally caught up to the scene, skidding to a halt at the edge of the flyover. Two officers exchanged bewildered glances, staring down at the wreckage below, their expressions a mix of disbelief and fear. "They're still rolling?!" one of them shouted into their comms, the urgency of the situation crystal clear as he glanced at the burning remnants of their pursuit.

Sickle could almost hear the dispatch crackling through the airwaves, the officer's panic ringing in her ears—two more cruisers weren't far behind. "Suspects airborne, yes, I said airborne!" The words ignited a laughter in Sickle's chest, her spirit igniting at the absurdity of it all. They had become the wild card in this twisted game, caught in a cat-and-mouse chase with officers who looked like they were regretting every life choice leading to this moment.

"Take this turn, choom," Sickle instructed, her voice teasing but edged with urgency. She slapped the roof, grounding herself amid the chaos, but also reminding Ghost—the fight wasn't over yet.

As he yanked the wheel, the car fought against the damaged rear wheel that wobbled on its axis, a feeling of losing control brushing against the edges of reality. Sickle ducked down inside the cabin, the throbbing pain from her cut igniting her senses even more.

They veered through a side street into Japantown, a maze of color and noise where the chaos of their escape could easily blend with the crowd. The busy district was alive with the chatter of the populace, unaware of the storm raging just beyond their thresholds. But Sickle knew: they needed to shake the cops soon, or it would be the NCPD's response that wrecked their day.

The cruiser above braked hard, its occupants staring down incredulously. Sickle could bet they had no clue how to anticipate someone soaring from above. One cop said, "We don't get paid enough for this drekk," and she could almost feel the weight of his resignation echoing through the air.

But she was not done—NCPD cruisers zoomed into the surroundings, and with a fresh spark of energy ignited by the thrill of it all, she steadied her breathing, readying herself for whatever chaos lay ahead. The Thrax might be damaged, but so was everything around them. It was the perfect time to push deeper into the whirlwind of Night City, expertly slipping through the cracks of the urban madness.

"Let's see what we can do!" she yelled, as they dove deeper into the madness, trusting her instincts more than ever as they navigated the streets of Japantown. The excitement buzzed around them, and Sickle was ready to dance with danger once again.
