Chapter 9: Silverhand
Review replies
Spyro fanboy: the sex was good but I did not like him calling them sluts. that is one thing you never call a loved one.
Dragon Emperor0: It's dirty talk man. He doesn't mean anything by it. This is just a way for them to get each other turned on and really horny.
SMASH THEM ALL: Well, I hope ya'll give the two stories strong consideration. And if possible, if you do the zombie apocalypse one, it would be awesome if they fought the Special Zombies from the new upcoming games: "Back 4 Blood" and "Dying Light 2". Especially Dying Light! The Volatile and Night Hunters from the game would make going out after dark extra scary and exciting...Good night and good luck.
ThermalsniperN7: Those are some interesting zombies, I gotta say.
Dragon Emperor0: I'll write this all down.
Writing Warrior: I know that Karai poisoned Saburo, but I wouldn't be surprised that Shredder was already planning on killing him and taking control of his company. Looks like that will be one thing for him to do when he escapes.
But, are you really using the Michael Bay versions of Bebop and Rocksteady? I feel like any of the other ones would be a better choice. No offense.
Dragon Emperor0: Those are my personal favorites besides a couple others. They're hilarious.
ThermalsniperN7: They seem like a comedic duo to me, too.
Romance Breeding: Loved this chapter a whole lot! I'm honestly surprised that V went ahead and impregnated his shark girls. I figured that they would wait until they finally got their last sister. Still, this was great. No better way to start off the creation of new life than on the heist that changed everything. However, I'm a little disappointed that V didn't hold Ebony in the air as he took her. Given her petite body, it would not only have been easy, but she would've enjoyed it extremely, with an ahegao face. Besides that, I really enjoyed her talks. I am curious how she will handle having twins with that petite body of her's, though. One more thing, I am very interested in seeing how Judy would fit in. However, with her, she needs a good relationship building. Not just wanting to experience sleeping with V. Just my thoughts.
Dragon Emperor0: He will hold Ebony up at some point.
ThermalsniperN7: Impregnating them now actually serves a purpose: keeping them together. That way, Captain Ishmael won't just take them away.
Dragon Emperor0: Second to making their marriage all the more official by creating their own offspring.
Sci-Fi FREAK: When the "Truth Quest" dlc comes to this story, I wonder if V and his girls will also find an alien female at the base, along with the last shark woman? If so, where from?
ThermalsniperN7: That sounds like a great idea, but the only alien species we have on the list right now is the Asari from Mass Effect. If we could get some extra suggestions, that would be helpful. Thank you.
Dragon Emperor0: I'm sure we can think of a few more.
Kaiju Avenger: Well, this was a good chapter. It's good to see that Jackie and T-Bug survived here. And Dex didn't betray V, which is a bonus. Maybe he will be a good ally for certain missions. I can't imagine that Goro will go away until he knows what happened to Saburo. Especially when Shredder escapes; no way is that going to go unnoticed by everyone in Night City! And now that the Relic is not damaged, hopefully Johnny won't possess V's body. But if that is the case, what will they do with him? Try to build or clone him and download him into it? That way, he can be together with Rogue. Maybe even find a way to restore her youth! Either way, I'm sure that he will enjoy the mutants. They are freaky and bring a lot of chaos and action wherever they go...he is going to love them! I wonder if Casey grew up listening to Johnny's music?
Dragon Emperor0: I mean it could be pretty cool for Casey to be a fan of Johnny and his band as well. Probably even likes his terrorist streak.
ThermalsniperN7: And I can see Johnny taking a liking to the mutants. He'd eat popcorn while he watches them wreak chaos, if he could, I bet.
Story Artist:(LOL!) V is going to need to find a much bigger place. It started out with just V, Jackie, and Manny. Now V has three wives, a pet, another girl that's interested in him, one more to come, a fourth shark girl out there, and his wives were just impregnated and the others will soon follow! Oh, and also four turtles and their family too. They need a bigger place. And hopefully, with the many they earned from the heist, V can buy them a really big mansion or something! I wonder if after Shredder escapes, he will begin by having revenge on his daughter, by killing her fiancé? Also, great surprise that you made her into the Snake Mutant, I love that part.
ThermalsniperN7: Yeah, they'll need a new place to live. Hopefully it'll be a bigger beachfront house.
Dragon Emperor0: Or something will end up happening to that house and they'll be forced to get a bigger house built.
ThermalsniperN7: Either one, really.
Sci-Fi Freak:If there are aliens at the "Truth Quest" base I wonder what they will find? What if they made mutants of the Maneater's Apex enemies? Or they made a giant alien kaiju! There is no telling what they cooked up in that base.
ThermalsniperN7: And that's just how we like it. So much more freedom to interpret what's inside.
Dragon Emperor0: Mutant Apexes probably won't be available. They're all dead after all.
-Cyberspace, Relic fragmentary memory bank-
The flash of light slowly faded from V's vision as it cleared and he found himself in another hallway. It looked like one of the bar dives in Watson did way back during 2027.
He looked down at his hands and saw that his left hand was a cybernetic one, a 2022 model from during the second American/Mexican war.
As he walked down the hall towards the sound of rock music coming out muffled from the other side of the building's thick walls, a groupie spoke up to him. From the look of her she looked like a Joytoy—a prostitute.
"Hey." She said to him.
"Hey." The man replied in a voice that was not his own before continuing on his way. As he did though a guy tried to stop him.
"Can't let you through." He said before V forced him out of the way and got a look at himself in a mirror that was across from him. His face wasn't his own, it was of a man who had an eerie resemblance to Keanu Reeves. This made the mercenary recognize himself immediately as Johnny Silverhand.
The man then proceeded through the doors. As he reached the stage, another guy shook his head.
"Of course you're high." He grunted before getting out of his way. As V made his way to the stage the band who was playing "Chippin In" —who he recognized as Samurai—stopped and allowed him to take the mic.
"Tonight I'm…" He said, gun and Mic in hand. "I'm here to say goodbye to all of you." He continued before he took his guitar and started playing. As the scene suddenly changed.
Later on, he was smoking a joint and walking again before stopping in front of two groupie girls. "You're wasting your lives, following us around like dogs." He said to them.
"What crawled up your ass?" One of them questioned, slightly offended. Johnny was about to head out the door when someone called out for him.
"Johnny, wait up!" A man called, causing him to turn around and see a friend running up to him. "Don't do this! You can still change your mind." He told him.
The man sighed as he grabbed his friend and held him. "Come here man. Fuck this band, you don't need it. Go do your own thing." He told him.
"Bastard. Tch… I'm gonna miss you something awful." The guy sighed.
"See you in the next life, friend." Johnny said before leaving. As he walked outside and saw a helicopter outside and a… Younger looking Rogue standing out there in the night.
"You're late!" She told him over the helicopter's rotors.
"You're mad. Good, makes ya look cute. Gets my southern blood pumping." He replied.
"Just get in, Silverhand. Before I change my mind." Rogue retorted. The two got in the helicopter where someone else was waiting.
"Silverhand." A man greeted.
"'Sup, Shaitan." The man nodded before Rogue gave him a headset.
"Put that on. And it stays on!" Rogue told him as the helicopter lifted off.
"Going over Pacifica, apparently the ARCs are shutting down the streets of Watson." Shaitan told him.
"Those sons of bitches." Johnny cursed before loud beats sounding like that of a heart's were heard.
"Hey, that skull-crackin' out there… is that us?" Someone else asked.
"Johnny's idea. Weyland's drawing their attention from the tower." Rogue said.
"Collateral damage part of the plan?" The man asked.
"This isn't the cub scouts Thompson. Chew it up and spit it out." The woman retorted. As they got closer to their destination on the tower roof, Shaitan spoke up again.
"We're in target range." He said.
"Then make it rain!" Rogue ordered. The gunner started firing on the Arasaka troops below, but several shots hit him and took him out.
"Taking over!" Johnny said as he grabbed the controls and started firing while Rogue tried to help Shaitan.
"Murphy! What's your status?!" Rogue yelled into her headset.
"Found our access point! Let's get moving!" A woman's voice replied as Johnny finished off the last troop.
"Johnny, remember the plan?" Rogue questioned as they got off the chopper.
"Set up the detonator, arm it, cut the cables. Let gravity do its thing, elevator falls—bomb goes boom—foundation crumbles—building falls, chaos erupts, fire, brimstone, roll credits." Johnny stated.
"Exit window's gonna be tight." The man's girlfriend told him.
"Figured." He replied as they reached the door.
"Murphy, you figure out the access point?" Rogue asked the netrunner working the terminal.
"Is grass green, can birds fly, do cats eat bats, do rats shit gnats?" Murphy rhymed.
"Murphy, the mainframe's not your playground, c'mon." The punk woman urged. "Broadcast the evac announcement across all channels and let's get movin'." She added.
"Okay, Okay. Christ, who the hell wrote this manifesto?" The woman said.
"Who do you think?" Rogue countered.
"Jesus, Johnny you've really gone off the deep end, and that's coming from a chair jock." Murphy sighed.
"Come on, let's go!" Rogue exclaimed as the door opened. Johnny took point, killing Arasaka guard one after another with one headshot each. His gun packed a mean punch. It wasn't long until they reached the elevator. "Murph?" The woman asked.
"She sought it with thimbles, she sought it with care, pursued it with forks and hope…" The hacker recited as the elevator opened.
"Johnny, payload, now!" The woman told him. As the rocker boy did so, he made sure that it'd make a big enough boom.
"In Bushido II, The bomb's name is what?" He asked as he set up the explosive device inside the elevator.
"Wrap it up! We gotta delta!" Rogue yelled.
"The Demolitron. We're good to blow." He said as he walked out and whipped out his gun and shot the cables.
"Spin up the rotors! We're on our way!" The woman said into her radio.
"Not done yet. I still need to feed this to their subnet." He continued as he held up a terminal, causing his woman to sigh in frustration.
"I fucking knew it! This was never about "corporate colonialism!" This whole thing was about your damn groupie output, is that it?!" She questioned.
That remark set the man off. Whipping around he pointed his gun directly into the fixer's face. His expression was as hard and as cold as the steel in his hand. "She had a name. It was Atlanta, Atlanta "Alt" Cunningham." He snarled, though his words didn't seem angry, they seemed hollow—distant—sad, even. "And she wasn't just my 'output'." He continued.
"Oh? Then why don't you enlighten me?" Rogue told him.
"Even if I did, you still wouldn't understand, Rogue." Johnny stated, lowering his weapon. "But maybe one day you will. When you see the love of your life on some autopsy table." He added.
"Johnny…" The woman said in a shocked tone before shaking her head. "Fine. I'll give you four fuckin' minutes! The chopper won't wait another second." She told him.
"I'll be up in two." Johnny told her as she ran off and allowed him to get to work.
"Door lock breached! Arasaka asshats incoming!" Murphy exclaimed as she opened Johnny's way forward.
"Thanks Murphy, I'll take it from here." Johnny said as the door opened and he went on another killing spree. Several guards later, he reached an office. "Closing in on the access point." He reported.
"Get slotted in." The hacker instructed. As he did so, she whistled. "Nice ICE breaker, foreign right? Where'd you get it?" She asked.
"An old friend." Johnny replied before it started uploading and then the news started sounding. "Figures they'd try to pin us as the bad guys here. Government's always been chummy with the corpos." He spat as the file finished. "And done. Headed your way now." He said as he started running, before he got blown backwards off the banister.
"Shit! It's Adam Smasher! Johnny, run!" Murphy exclaimed in alarm. Johnny tried to shoot smasher a few times, but when that didn't work he decided to bolt for it and ran out to the roof.
But as he tried to get to the helicopter, someone started to shoot at them and caused Rogue to lose her grip on him, and make him fall to the roof below. As he lay there, a familiar man entered his field of view.
"Smasher." He grunted as he tried to grab his gun.
"Told you Johnny boy, I told you I'd end you someday." Smasher said before he blasted the man with an arm cannon.
(Later)
After hours of interrogation by Arasaka goons, Johnny was then approached by Saburo Arasaka when he was only 108. Still old but not nearly as old as balls as he was when he was poisoned.
An exchange of words, and then Johnny felt his mind get torn from his body by something unknown. And everything went white.

-Cyberspace-
V finally snapped from the memory's playback and took a moment to come to grips with the fact that he just experienced and had a copy of Silverhand's soul slotted into his head.
"Thank god this thing isn't messing with my head…" He sighed in relief. He then took notice that he seemed to be in a digital recreation of the top section of the tower Johnny was in, and spotted a red datamass. He decided to follow it, he chased after it until it cleared up… revealing Johnny Silverhand himself.
"And just who are you?" He questioned in a distorted voice as he looked at V.
(Back in reality)
Back with the others, they saw the program end and Evelyn's shard got the data she needed before V suddenly woke up. He was considerably shaken from what just happened.
"Easy there, mano." Jackie said as he helped his friend calm down.
"What did you see in there?" Raph questioned.
"I know who's on this Relic." V replied as he got his grip on his nerves again.
"Who?" Judy asked as everyone turned towards him.
"Johnny Silverhand. That Rocker boy turned terrorist from fifty years ago." The Nomad explained. "I experienced one of his memories, the one of his death. The bombing at Arasaka Tower."
This startled everyone, including the mutants, save perhaps the shark girls. Casey seemed the most surprised. The soul of a long dead idol of his was in the man's head?
"You're serious?!" He questioned.
"Dead serious. There's no other person who has a silver prosthetic arm." The soldier nodded.
"What about the chip? Did it do anything to him?" Raiko asked as Donnie did a quick check.
"Initial scans say no. But unfortunately this isn't really my field of expertise." The Turtle states.
"It's okay Don, we can have our ripperdoc Viktor take a look at V." Jackie told him as his friend got up. "In the meantime, you guys should go see about what happened with Shredder, that news report did not sound good." He added.
"Good idea." Leo nodded. "Let's go, brothers." He beckoned. The Turtles threw on their disguises and left.
"While you're still here, V, I believe you owe me a drink." Judy told him. "I'd like to cash in on that." She added with a smirk.
"I'd be rude to turn you down." V chuckled as he got up. "Come on, let's go." He told her.
"I'll go to Misty's and get you an appointment set up with Vik. You come when you're ready." Jackie told him.
"Thanks Jack." V said as he looked at Evelyn. "Hey, is that deal still good? Or are you just gonna let things slide?" He asked.
"Oh, it's still good." The blue haired woman nodded. "Don't worry. I'll live up to my end of the bargain." She added. "Just keep the Relic safe in case I need you to go head diving again."
"Got it." He nodded before he turned to his girls. "C'mon girls. Let's head up to the bar. I'm buying." He beckoned, right as he got a text from Meredith. "And Meredith's already waiting." He smiled as they headed up to the bar.

-Saltlick City, Port Iris-
Meanwhile in Saltlick City, Kyle was busy walking back to his apartment to try and finish his college homework for the week. However when he reached the door, he suddenly heard that his coffee pot was running, as well as his microwave and someone was typing on his computer.
'Okay, I know I didn't let anyone in here when I left.' He thought warily. "Who's in here?" He called.
"Oh, you're back! Excellent!" A woman's voice said before its owner came into view. The woman was of moderate height with short black hair, large breasts (most likely a D or even an F cup), and blue eyes as well as a fair complexion.
Her attire was a business suit which consisted of a white shirt, light blue tie, a loose blue sweater, a grey blazer, and a dark grey knee-length skirt with light grey socks and black heels.
"Um, who are you and why are you in my apartment?" The redhead questioned.
"Oh! Where are my manners? I'm Cinderella Lilivaythin of the Harmony Dragon faction." The woman said, beaming at him cheerfully. "As for why I'm here, I'm here to personally offer my services as your personal Secretary, Mr. LeBlanc sir!" She added with a smile, her breasts jiggling as she bounced a bit.
"... Dragon faction? Also, why me in particular?" Kyle asked after rebooting his brain.
"Yep! I saw you were really weighed down by all your work and decided that I should help. I hope you don't mind." She said walking up to him and leaning forward, her bouncy knockers jiggling with said action. Kyle sighed at this development. He didn't ask for this… but damn if it didn't make him feel at ease knowing he had someone who could help him relax easier.
"Alright. Thanks." He nodded after taking a moment to process this information. "I'll see about getting a bed set up for you." He added as he went to get a bed set up.
"Oh that's very kind. Thank you." She smiled as she finally relaxed… and a blue and red scaled finned tail slipped out from under her skirt.
'This is gonna take some getting used to.' The man thought as he entered one of the guest rooms. 'Still… it's nice to have company.' He continued with a small smile.
(Elsewhere)
Meanwhile back at Lizzy's bar, V and the girls were treating Judy to a few drinks to pay for her help. Though one drink after the other and the shark siblings got progressively more and more wasted.
So much so that Ebony was currently in Ivory's lap and making out with her, while Raiko was French kissing Meredith.
"They can't hold their booze very well, can they?" The BD editor noted. Both herself and V were the only ones in the group that were sober.
"Yeah. And the more alcohol they take in? The higher their libidos go." The soldier nodded. "They may be lightweights, but I love 'em anyway." He added as Ebony started groping and grinding herself on Ivory's lap.
"You really are good to them." Judy chuckled as she watched Meredith grope Raiko's ass, which she (Judy) thought was designed to be squeezed. "I can actually see why they like you so much, even if I've only known them for a bit." She added.
"Glad to hear that." V nodded before Ebony started tugging on Ivory's shirt. "I should probably get us checked into one of the rooms before they start going at it." He added.
"Good idea." Judy nodded. As he did so, Meredith carried Raiko bridal style into one of the private rooms and Ivory carried her sister by her thighs while Ebony slid her free hand into the bone shark woman's pants and started fingering her pussy.
When all of them were in one room, clothes went flying and the only noises within were moans, cries and screams of pleasure.
Meredith took a strap on and got Raiko on her knees, slapping her across the face with her fake cock.
"Start sucking." She ordered. Raiko nodded as she started giving the pleasure connected sex toy a blow job, which made the Militech woman moan as she felt what it felt like to have a real cock.
Ebony and Ivory were busy scissoring each other, their hips pounding together like crazy as they gasped and moaned.
And V? He was just sitting back and enjoying the show. He wasn't really in the best shape to be doing anything sexual just yet, so he decided to sit this one out and let the girls handle themselves.
However, as they did, Viktor called to tell him his appointment was soon. So he decided to go, letting Meredith know that she'd be their ride home, since she was sober enough to at least manage a short drive like that.
(Later)
In Vik's clinic the Nomad looked at his long-time doctor and friend, looking for his take on the chip inside his head.
"So, what's the prognosis, Vik?" He asked.
"It's definitely something I can't make heads or tails of. But that's not really a bad thing here." The man replied. "The chip has linked itself to you. Don't get the wrong idea, it won't do anything harmful. If your mind was, say, half empty, the chip would overwrite you entirely with its passenger since writing is all it does." He continued. "However, since your head is full, it won't do anything. You're fine." He added further.
"I'm sensing a 'but' there." V noted, getting a nod in reply.
"The soul inside the chip won't just sit and do nothing- not when it has someone to talk to. You'll likely be seeing it fairly soon. Like I said before, though, it can't take over your body." Vik nodded.
"And what if I were to, say, short circuit during a job?" The soldier asked.
"My best guess? The chip would revive you and—assuming your neuro port is doing its due diligence to protect the integrity of your mind—essentially jump start you." The Doctor stayed. "It has a secondary function of auto saving other psyches in the event the original was downloaded. So it'll basically help you revive yourself, with the side effects of some minor short term memory loss." He elaborated.
"So I can basically reanimate myself if enough of me is intact. Good to know." V nodded. "Is there a way to remove it just in case? Or reinforce my neuro port in the event something does happen?" He asked.
"Yes and yes. Only problem is I can't do it with the equipment I have here, it'd be too risky." Vik nodded. "However I am sure I can take care of that port of yours. It's just gonna take me a few days to get what I need." He added.
"Alright. Call me when you have what you need." The soldier nodded before paying him and leaving.
"Oh, and V?" The ripperdoc asked as the man turned around. "Glad to see that you and the others got back in one piece." He smiled.
"Thanks, Vik." V smiled back as he went to see Misty. "Hey Misty, are you and Jackie still not talking?" He asked, knowing that the two had an argument before the heist.
"No, but I think I'm calming down from that. What about Jackie?" The blonde asked.
"He's dying to see you again. In fact, you were the first person he mentioned when he heard we were getting paid." The Nomad told her. "He… Actually mentioned wanting to get you guys a place. In Vista El Ray I think. In an area where the crime rate is damn near 10%." He added.
"He… wants us to live… there?" Misty uttered, feeling touched by the bruiser's heart.
"Yeah, it's just a few miles from Haywood so that means you can visit Mama Welles pretty often." He nodded. Misty smiles as she kisses him on the cheek.
"Thanks V. I'll call him as soon as I finish here." She smiled before handing him two pill bottles. "These are Omega Blockers and Cyndothermatryzine. Blue and red respectively. They'll help either slow or hasten your body's process to harmonize with the Biochip." She explained. "Whichever you and… Johnny decides on. Just to help you both come to grips with what's going on." She continued.
"We haven't talked yet, but we'll end up discussing this when we do." V nodded. "Thanks." He added with a smile.
"You're welcome." The woman smiled back. "Oh, and tell the girls I said congratulations."
"How did you-?" V asked. She then held up three Tarot cards, one with a star, another with the sun, and the third with a mother. "Oh…" He nodded as he left the clinic.
(Later)
After arriving home and having a celebratory dinner of Chinese food and Budweiser beer with Jackie, he went up to his room where all four of his girls were sleeping soundly together. Three of them now carried his children while Meredith was the only one not pregnant. Just as he was about to get ready for bed and join them, Johnny appeared in a flicker, leaning on the wall next to the bed closest to the window.
"Huh. I was wondering when you'd wanna talk." The Nomad commented as he looked at the roommate in his head.
"You got a smoke?" The man asked as he banged the back of his head against the wall.
"Sorry, I'm not a smoker." V replied with a shrug, getting a scoff in return.
"Fuck me. I'm sharing heads with a pussy." He groaned before glancing at the girls. "... Though you're obviously not that big of one if you have the guts to have three kickass shark women and a Militech Corp for wives." He added with a nod and a smirk.
"Back off Silverhand, they're mine." V warned. The rocker held up his hands defensively.
"Easy now, don't get your panties in a bunch." He said. "Besides they're not even my type." He added.
"Good." The Nomad nodded. "And I'm gonna assume you've seen most, if not all, my memories, right?" He inquired.
"More or less, yeah." The digital terrorist shrugged. "I even saw your memories of what those idiots at Site P have planned…" He trailed off before frowning. "I share the sentiment. Weaponizing sharks can only end badly. People tried weaponizing animals in the New American/Mexican War and Hong Kong conflict—that failed miserably." He admitted.
"Glad to see We're on the same page." V said. "Heard you're not a fan of corps either." He noted.
"They're responsible for a fuckton of the bullshit that's plaguing the world. Why should I like 'em?" Johnny hissed.
"Now that, we can both agree on." The Nomad nodded. "Well it looks like we're stuck together for a while, so you might as well get comfortable." He continued.
"Thanks, think I will." The engram nodded as he sat down and propped his feet on the coffee table. "So Saburo Arasaka bit the dust, huh? And I'm still around. Heh, suck it, ya old cocksucker." He spat, flipping the TV off before the story changed… to one saying that the Shredder, Hun, and the criminal gang duo known as Bebop and Rocksteady were on the loose.
"... Oh for fuck's sake." V groaned as he heard the news story.
"Who're these idiots?" The silver armed projection wondered.
"Shredder is the one who backstabbed Saburo… Make of that how you will. Hun is one of his top enforcers. The other two… Meh. I dunno about them." V replied, not really caring about the last two.
"Shredder? The Shredder?" Johnny asked as V nodded. "Fuck, he's still alive? I thought he'd die of old age by now. He's been around since the nineties."
"Apparently." The man nodded as he stretched. "Listen, It's late. How about we play 'catch up' in the morning, huh?" He suggested.
"Fine. You went through an entire meat grinder, anyway." Johnny shrugged before he vanished. V yawned as he climbed into bed with the girls, Raiko and Meredith on right side and Ebony and Ivory on his left as he got comfortable.
However before he could close his eyes, an image of a Blue square with a shark fin in front of an Illuminati pyramid appeared.
"Hi, my name is Trip Westhaven. I used to produce the popular nature television show: Maneater." A voice said, distorted somewhat. "But the network powers that be, canceled our program due to 'explicit and graphic depictions of actual death', so now I'm broadcasting online. Free! From the meddling of censorious busybodies."
"The fuck…?" V muttered in confusion.
"Over the course of filming our cameras witnessed strange mutations never before seen by the human eye. Courtesy of our beloved Maneater herself, Raiko. When I asked a prominent Marine Biologist by the name of Sandra Witwickey, she claimed that it was because of Port Clovis's high levels of radiation and industrial effluent." Trip continued, stressing the word claim to show suspicion.
"... The fuck is he getting at?" The Nomad muttered.
"But I felt like she was merely trying to placate me. What did she really know? And why wasn't she telling me?" The man continued. "And as if the stars had all aligned, a former Q level security specialist from the Clover Island Facility—more commonly known as Site P—sat down next to me at Flamingo Joe's. And told me of horrific things being done there. And if that wasn't enough—that it was being orchestrated by a clandestine cabal of extraterrestrial elites hellbent on world domination."
V's eyes widened at this, but wasn't sure if he was being serious or not. It was then that a video was shown, it showed the same shark from the files his CO showed them, trapped inside a small tank in comparison to its large size and was being prodded with cattle prods.
"Here's the proof folks." Trip said. "This shark here is what the Naval Wildlife Organization calls 'Subject K' and who our fellow subscribers have dubbed Kujira. And she is in fact the elder genetic sibling of Raiko, our favorite shark." He continued as the video showed Kujira being shocked and roaring in pain. "She is in pain folks, and she's going to be used as a weapon against us for the aliens. Unless we stop them."
'I don't know if any of the alien stuff is real, but I am now pissed off!' V thought, angry at seeing Kujira at the mercy of a bunch of brainless jackasses.
"So I urge all who hear me, join me on my quest for the truth! My Truth Quest!" Trip said before the feed was cut off and was replaced by an ad from Symbiote Studios for a Maneater plushie.
"Do you believe any of that?" Johnny asked, having reappeared when the broadcast began and listened silently.
"I'm not sure if the alien stuff is legit, but I'm definitely confronting my CO about this tomorrow." V replied.
"Good idea. Given that you just pulled off the heist of the decade, he might just listen." The rocker nodded as he disappeared, and V hugged his girls close. Vowing to himself that he would find Kujira, and bring her home.
Whatever it takes.
Dragon Emperor0: Well. I'd say today was very eventful. Wouldn't you say so?
ThermalsniperN7: Oh yeah. V's not in danger of being taken over, Kyle met Cinder, and Johnny's actually chill here… And now V is planning on confronting Capitan Ishmael about the broadcast regarding Kujira. The poor girl is being abused, for fuck's sake!
Dragon Emperor0: And like the good captain said before he's willing to listen to the sharks if they become human, or if they show signs of being self aware. So I think he'll probably be willing to turn Kujira over into V's custody. Especially if this Alien stuff is true.
ThermalsniperN7: Right. Though whether this is before or after a potential raid on Site P remains to be seen.
Dragon Emperor0: Anyway guys. See you next time.
