2090

Night City, California

Watson Docks District

Maelstrom Territory

"10-10, 10-10, SEND REINFORCEMENTS, WE'RE GETTING SHOT AT BY MAELS- SPLAT"

The officers had been turned into mush as blood and inner Tendons had finally become one.

One of the other officers had been shot in the stomach as a Malstromer ran up to the cop and plunged through the cop with Mantis blades, the blades then pulling out the intestines of the cop as the blood and insides stained the blades as well as the maelstromer.

The maelstromer then threw the insides as if it was confetti.

Another cop had to watch as he was being eviscerated alive by a maelstromer with gorilla hands for the officer was beaten to a blood pulp and then had to feel the full extent of getting his tiger bone ripped out of his body blood and flesh being ripped off and falling to the ground in the pool of blood left as the maelstromer then began to peel out the spine until they reached the skull and by this point the cop died due to the excruciating pain.

The last cop was splatterd into pieces as another Maelstrom member used a Projectile Launch System as the the mini explosive was launched into the body of the cop at it then exploded from the insides causing the whole body to implode spreading bits and pieces of flesh, tissue, muscle, bone, and cloth.

Reinforcements showed up as bullets painted the streets of the upper fishing docks in Watson as NCPD Patrol Units rushed to the scene.

And now they were caught in a fire fight for they're lives.

4 NCPD cars showed up and all 4 got put through the bullet grinder.

One of the shooters walked up to one of the NCPD vehicles and picked up the com.

"Anybody on the otherside, send more we flatlined your chooms and I need more target practice"

As 4 drones now enter the area firing immediately on sight.

"Good, time to test out this new tech the doc hooked on me"

The drones exploded immediately.

Such violence in these parts of Watson were a commonplace filled and swarmed with The likes of Vermin.

Maelstrom being it's main source of Predators.

But currently the sadistic laughs and auto cracked voices of the clinically psychotic remained Supreme as the police cars were set off and exploded.

This was a message that NCPD had no staying power in Watson, they may think they do but this was a one party rule and rule being the Cyberpsychotic bound Maelstrom.

Eventually all roaches must return from which they came as they went to no other place that welcomes the likes of Maelstrom.

The All Foods Market building as the ever unsatisfied needs for Cybernetic upgrades and drugs must be filled.

"Hold The Fuck Up, kiddies" spoke no other then the second man in command Dum Dum.

The group of Maelstromers that enterd were a good few but they were eventually held up from the desired location.

"Pay up front, pless 20% of your take, and body count for today" spoke Dum Dum as he smiled as the newbies did as they were told.

Body counts barely scraping by over a dozen each, but can't expect perfection from baby birds.

That was something he was told long ago by Brick when he first got In.

As Dum Dum waved them in to go see the current Maelstrom Ripperdoc.

Who was currently making life a living hell for the poor bastard in the chair at the moment.

As Dum Dum saw the batch open the door as the screams were gourging and miserable.

It was as if the Doc was just murdering the poor bastard.

"Stop Crying like a baby, you said not to use anesthesia" said the doc as he continued.

"AUGGGGGHHHHHH" continued the poor bastard.

"Almost done, tough it out big boy" as the sparks and blood flew around erratically as the Maelstromer in the chair gave out one last blood curling scream until it finally ended.

"Next time, you'll fucking listen to me, now here" spoke the Doc as he handed the Maelstromer an Air Hypo.

"MARCUS SAID HE DID THIS AND IT WAS NO BIG DEAL" said the Maelstromer.

"MARCUS, is a Lying sack a shit, he needs 2 doses of anesthesia when I work on him because one ain't enough to keep him from freaking out when i start cutting into him" said the doc as he gave the maelstromer a good sterning to.

"2 puffs now, 2 more later, continue the process for the rest of the next 3 days just to be safe" spoke the Ripper as his patient gave a little resistance.

"Come on Doc I got some jobs I got the next two days" spoke the Maelstromer.

"Will that's your problem, your going to have to ask someone to go with you and lose some of your take just because you wanted to act cool, Next Time You Listen to me and save yourself the issue, now get" said the doc as the patient scramed off.

"Ok, who's next" said the Doc as the next happy patients weren't like the former as everything went easy with the next 6 people.

Usual adjustment from different optics to different arm or leg implants basic stuff for Maelstromers.

Since they were new, the Doc talked to them and gave them different advice.

Such as over stimulants with Cybernetic and learning how much they can handle.

Since they were still new they weren't at risk of becoming borderline Cyberpsycho's like others in Maelstrom.

At the end of the day, the Doc gave a shit about these people and wanted to see them succeed.

"Okay, your the last one for today, now like the others here's an Airhypo. 2 puffs now, 2 later. Give the implants a feel, it will take a while to get used to the new optics but your not a baby, don't go pick fights once you get out of here, be smart don't be a retard" spoke the doc as the last newbie scurried off.

"Dum Dum, I'm closed right now if you need something I'm pretty sure you can do it yourself"

"Come on, Rich, you know I need my special treatment" spoke Dum Dum as he took a seat with someone he held close reach as a friend.

"Yeah well you better have brought an offer I can't refuse" spoke Rich the Ripperdoc as he gave his friend a small smile.

But Dum Dum had came prepared for this conversation as he pulled out a plastic bottle of fresh Orange Juice and a bag of Apple Slices.

Truly an offer any child 12 and under couldn't refuse, as Rich pulled out 2 glasses and a small ceramic plate.

"Give or take, it's starting to get tough getting hands on this shit, most of the Stuff in stores and markets are most Synthetic now, and is starting to cost almost the same amount as ammunition and parts" spoke Dumb Dumb explaining his pains to Rich as Rich simply enjoyed his much deserved Vitamin C beverage, and Apple snack.

"I'll put it like this, Arasoka can go and claim every land and plantation and make nothing but Synthetic Bullshit and completely abandone natural ingredients, I Will Still Find A Way To Get the Natural Orange Goodness" spoke the Doc as he held the statement as a fact of life.

"Anyways, you've been coming around more often, things getting rough at the Totentanz" spoke Rich as he wanted to know what was up with his friend.

"Rough more like Lethal, Patricia and Royce have been going at it for months they just can't agree on anything and people are starting to take sides" spoke Dum Dum as he took a sip of his cup.

"I just wanted to know what you thought about it" spoke Dum Dum as Rich has now understood what was going on.

Ah so this was a check up to see where he stood.

"I've heard the beef from some of the people coming in and out, but you know Where I Stand"

"No Where...

One of these days you might be forced to pick a side and your the last person I want to see with his brains splatterd on the wall.

Your heart has always been your soft spot.

Just Promise me you won't do anything stupid" finished Dum Dum as he stood up and walked to the chair.

"You are right about one thing,

The Heart is a Soft Spot" spoke Rich as he followed suit getting ready to work on Dumb Dumb.

As he began cutting into the only man he called friend.

And through the process on a chair keeping status of his current patients vitals was a Laptop and in the right corner blinked the number 1 in yellow for a new message had been recieved.

After the check up, after Dum Dum had long since waved off and left, Rich looked out the window to see the night skies.

Deciding he needed some fresh air.

To Be Continued.
