Chapter 1: Agent Rebekka
Within the bowels of a lab, a Corpo named Bismarck is running his deadly game show named DreadZone. He has recently saved Rebecca from her dreadful faith via aid from the Trauma Team using special nanobots to rebuild her body allowing her to enter into his game as a gladiator. He has managed to use Project Geppetto which is heavily based on Soul Killer made by Biotechnia for their cloning program. It involved scanning Rebecca's brain, pulling in all her memories and personality, and making multiple AI copies that can be put into cloned bodies.
Bismarck is showing off his Rebecca clones to a client who wants to get one due to their various combat skills and potential. "Seems like you are deeply involved. Knowing her past, she has powerful potential as you can see through her performance in my show," Bismarck said as the man was looking at a screen of Rebecca winning various games in DreadZone.
"Of course, I need more agents to add to my organization. Times are getting tough for the FSA," the Corpo man is quite worried about the state of the Free States of America who are opposing Myer's NUSA and Militech. After the Unification War, he needed more agents to add to his ranks to help protect the FSA.
"Indeed, that conflict was quite rough. You need all the help you can get, Mr. Wellington. This one is fresh from the pod. I help you enjoy her," Bismarck said as the man was quite put off by him.
"I will take this one," Mr. Wellington said to transfer the funds to him.
Bismarck sees 500,000 Eddies within his account. "Perfect, I hope you get your money's worth," he said as Wellington had his agents grab the pod to transfer it into a large AV outside.
"How did it go sir?" the young man asked.
"A Preem success. The young lady has a lot to offer and it's time to put it to the test. When we get back, we will wake her up and tell her the deal," Wellington said as the young man looked at her face to be smitten by her beauty.
"Damn, she is very cute," he thought as Wellington is laughing at this.
"Getting close to our recruit already Jack?" Wellington asked in a lighthearted way.
"I mean she is quite the looker," Jack said with a blush on his face.
"No problem, you will see her soon once we crack her open," Wellington said.
The day has gone by with the Rebecca clone taken to the main HQ building of the WI within the capital of the FSASacramento in Northern California. The Rebecca clone is in a bed only wearing a nightgown.
"Oh man, that was a nice nap. Wait a minute," the clone remembers the last thing the original Rebecca did was almost getting killed by Atom Smasher. "Oh right, I was created from these memories," she said to know there is a disconnect with these memories.
"You catch on quick my dear," a gentle male voice said as the clone looked over to see this man in his mid-80s but had the youthful appearance of a mid-20s man. Sporting brown hair with a matching colored bead, tall and lanky, and wearing a grey and blue suit.
"Who are you,
"I am Carol Wellington, the CEO of the wonderful Megacorp known as the Wellington Institute. We have direct ties to the FSA government to protect the interests of my beautiful nation. Oh, what I call you?" he asked, being very friendly.
"Oh, my name is Rebekka. Speaking of which, where is the original?" she asked as she chose this name to respect the original while being different enough to be her person.
"Well, she is currently going through those death games in DreadZone on the outskirts of Night City. Bismarck is planning on getting rid of her when he becomes bored of her. I was lucky enough to find you there since he has been making clones of her as backup and selling the clones for profit," Wellington said.
"I see, makes sense. So why did you buy me sir?" she asked.
"To serve the interests of my Megacorp and the FSA. I am good friends with the Shadow President who runs this fine nation. Myers needs to be put in her place and I will use all my efforts to keep her away from this nation. I know from the memories that Rebecca wanted a place to belong and I want you to get a second chance at life. To work for something bigger than yourself," Wellington said.
Like the original, Rebekka does want to feel important and be part of a bigger group. "You nailed it on the head," she said.
"I am not going to force you into this. You need to want this," Wellington said.
"I will join you like I got anything else going on," Rebekka said as Wellington was sporting a big smile.
"Thank you, you will not regret it. Jack, you still there?" Wellington asked as Jack made a weird noise to come through the door.
"Sorry thing I was curious," Jack said to look over to see the pale-skinned beauty. "Damn, prettier than I thought," Jack said as Rebekka is looks at him.
"Oh, he is cute," she thought.
"Are you okay?" Jack asked.
"Yes, I am fine. I am not part of your group now. So, what do you do?" Rebekka asked.
"Well, our main interest is Space travel and technology allowing humans to conquer the stars. Due to Megacorp's research division, we have managed to create a powerful engine that can reach 10% of the speed of light. Allowing space travel to be much more efficient to move throughout the solar system," Jack said.
"Damn, that's very impressive," Rebekka said.
"Indeed. Also, we do have something called the Covert Action Staff or CAS which is made of combat operatives and Netrunners who perform missions on the field or cyberspace. Jack is one of my top CAS agents," Wellington said.
"Don't need to jack me up sir," Jack said feeling humble about it.
"Nonsense, you are very capable and now I want you to train our recruit to be a CAS agent," Wellington said as Jack felt excited about this.
"Oh okay," Jack said.
"She has all the experiences of the original and with proper training. She will be very lethal. I am counting on you, Jack. I will be heading to my office, I need to speak with an old friend. Enjoy yourselves," Wellington said to walk away to leave the two leave.
"Can you walk?' he asked.
"Yes, thank you for the gesture," Rebekka gets onto her face.
"Wow," he said as he got a good look at this petite goddess. She is standing 4'10 tall, chalk white skin tone, long green hair, and red eyes with green pupils. Her white gown frames her shapely pear-shaped body and small chest.
"You are not bad to look at either," Rebekka said as Jack has brown hair, blue eyes, a peach skin tone, and stands 6'1 tall. He has a green jacket over a blue and grey bodysuit fitted to his lean build along with black sneakers.
"Thanks, let's get you used to the HQ building," Jack said as Rebekka followed after him.
"What's with the cool bodysuit?" she asked.
"Oh, this is the official combat suit you can wear when you go on the field," Jack said as he could imagine Rebekka's pear-shaped body fitting into a snugged bodysuit.
"Oh, I bet I can pull it off," Rebekka was willing to join this group to find her place in this world. "Jack seems nice enough. All I can do is keep moving forward," she thought as they went around the building.
Elsewhere Mr. Wellington is within his office to speak with Michiko Arasaka via hologram. "So how is the cleanup of the assault of Arasaka Tower?" he asked.
"Horrible, David and his crew managed to do some damage but my uncle allowed it to happen to make his father and the company look bad. Atom Smasher just played along with Yorinobu's plan, to put on a show for him," Michiko said.
"Pretty fucked up," Wellington said.
"it is but everything has calmed down. David's body was taken for experiments and his partner is nowhere to be found," Michiko said.
"About that, she is alive but she is no threat. She has clones made of her and I managed to get one of them to join the CAS," Wellington said.
"Interesting. I hope to meet this promising agent of yours. But I need to go, things are getting heavy around here due to Grandfather's project with the Relic. I will catch you soon," Michiko said to cut off her line.
"We all need to take pause. We need to prepare for the worse," Wellington said to look over his files.
Elsewhere Rebekka and Jack are going through the vast hallways of this tall megabuilding to see heavily armed guards wielding Satrich CQB which is a Soviet compact bullpup precision rifle that can go full auto and chambered for the .338 LM rounds in 20-round magazines.
"Who are those guys?" Rebekka asked to see if they were clad in armored powered suits.
"Those are the security teams. They are tasked with defending WI buildings and sites. They are not used in direct combat. Only CAS members go on the field or in cyberspace," Jack said.
"Interesting," she said as Jack went into the Cyberware center where all the agents can be chipped up and maintained. It looks clean, professional, and highly organized.
"Corpo backing means you don't have to worry about going crazy. We will take care of you," Jack said as Rebekka nodded her head to go over to the chair with a Corpo ripper dock looking at the recruit.
"Oh, you are the clone the boss purchased. My name is Gwen, I will be taking care of your Cyberware needs. I will chip you up and get you up to snuff. What are you looking for?" she asked.
"I got Cyberware and Bioware based on the original. I need a Warp Dancer Sandevistan, Gorilla Arms, smart link, grapple gun, and special eye mods," Rebekka said.
"Okay let me see," Gwen said to get Rebekka onto the chair to see she has a Dragon Silk Skin weave, Second Heart, pain editor, shock absorber legs, boost jumping, bionic joints, and enhanced lungs along with enhanced antibodies, and Adrenaline Rush Mod. "Very interesting, I can give upgraded them further to make them more efficient," Gwen said.
"You kick ass Gwen," Bekka said as Gwen has a big smile on her face.
"Damn straight little missy, I am going to fix you up," she said as Jack is in the other room to wait for Bekka to get all her new fresh imprints.
Within the hour, Rebekka got her new implants, feeling a lot stronger now. "Thanks, doc," she said getting off the chair to feel her new powerful Gorilla arms and a grapple hook in her left arm. Her eyes have various visions like Thermal, X-Ray, and zoom along with other modes as well as the sandy inserted into her spine.
"Very impressive setup. Your body is only made of 30 percent Cyberware with the Bioware filling in the gaps," Gwen said as both her arms are cybernetic while her knees to her feet are made cybernetic as well.
"At least my body was smartly designed," Bekka said.
"Indeed, that Dragon Silk skin weave can eat 50 BMG rounds like cotton candy. Well, you are good to go. How is that uniform feeling, you need to get used to it," Gwen said as Rebekka was using the new CAS combat bodysuit which has a blue and grey color pattern.
"It feels nice, thanks," Rebekka said for the sleeveless suit shows off her petite pear figure while exposing her thin arms. "What do you think big guy?" Rebekka asked in a playful tone.
"Pretty nice, front to back," Jack said liking her curvy thighs, wide hips, and big bottom along with her tight waist and small bust formed against her new suit. Rebekka giggles at this to be close to him.
"Noticed anything different?" she asked in a playful tone.
"You put pink highlights in your hair," he said as Rebekka had her long green hair get streaks of pink in a sea of light green.
"Yeah, it makes me look different while honoring the original person I was based on," she said.
"Suits you," he flirted as Rebekka felt happy to hear this. "Speaking of which, it's not just for show. It has armor weave which gives them good protection up to rifle rounds and some models have cloaking devices like yours," Jack said.
Rebekka feels the suit sync with her body to activate the cloaking making her disappear. "Oh shit, this is cool," she said.
"Yeah, it only lasts 30 seconds. You got to make it count. Come on, let's go to the training area," he said to take her out of the cyberware section and into the firing range. "This is where all the agents go through some training courses. I think you got this," Jack has fate in her as other agents were training and sharpening their skills there.
"Oh, hello little bro. This is your new girlfriend," the woman said in a teasing manner.
"Stop it, this is our recruit, Rebekka. She is the clone our boss brought earlier," Jack said looking embarrassed to show clear interest in this little lady.
"Oh okay, nice to meet you. I am Velvet, Jack's older sister. I am a CAS agent just like him," she said to shake her head.
"Nice to meet you too," Rebekka said as she looked at the woman who was quite tall, a short-haired brunette just like her brother, with peach skin tone, standing 5'8 tall, and having purple eyes. She is wearing a grey and blue combat suit fitting her slender frame.
"Okay, we are going to put you up against these test dummies to see your handing and reflexes. Choose your weapons," Velvet said as a big rack of weapons appeared.
"Man, it's like a candy shop," Rebekka said as she grabbed a PDW-12 which is a bullpup machine pistol chambered for the 5.7x28mm rounds in 45-round magazines, a Nekomata sniper rifle, and grenades.
"Okay time to show us your stuff," Velvet said as she was in a large area filled with target dummies armed with stun weapons within the training area.
"No problem, I am to use Rebecca's memories to good use," Rebekka grabs the Nekomata to cock the weapon.
"Ready to go Bekka?" Velvet asked.
"Okay, here we go," Rebekka said as the test dummies fired their pistols with Rebekka rolling out of their line of fire to fire her PDW-12 with rapid bursts to easily tear through the test robots. She tosses out grenades to blast apart groups of bots switching to her sniper rifle to pick off enemies from far away.
She uses her super strength to smash a target dummy while using her sandy to dodge a bunch of bunches from different angles to blast them in the head. She aims her arm to fire a grappling hook to latch onto a ceiling to leap over the bots to use her PDW-12 to snipe them from above.
She slams down onto a training robot to crush it with her powerful lower cyber legs to keep going forward.
"Wow she is quite good," Jack said looking impressed as well as checking out her body moving and turning in the training course. Velvet can see her little bro checking out Bekka's assets other than her shooting.
"Indeed, she will be a fine assist to our team," Velvet said to poke him on the shoulder to see him blushing.
Rebekka jumps on top of a crate to fire her machine pistol blasting away several test dummies. She goes to her sniper rifle to fire the last few bots in the distance to finish her run.
"Excellent, you have done pretty well," Velvet said.
"So, this is the new meat huh?" a gruff voice said as two agents appeared behind them. One is a male being tall and strong while the is a female being shapely and athletic.
"Oh, hey Zell and Cho. Yes, this is Rebekka, our newest recruit," Velvet said.
"Oh good, like we need more reckless rookies," Cho said.
"Look I can handle myself with the big leagues," Rebekka said.
"Whatever, what matters is your performance on the battlefield. Hope you don't punk out, new meat," Cho said as she walked away.
"Nice to see you, see you on the field," Zell said to walk away.
"Who is the girl with the bug up her ass," Rebekka said.
"That is Cho, she takes her job as an agent quite seriously. She will warm up once you get to know her," Velvet said.
"Yeah, I would love to have a slumber party with her," Rebekka said with sarcasm etched in her voice.
"Well, looks like you are fit for duty," Velvet said as she was getting a call on her comlink. "Sorry I need to take this, Take care, treat her well little bro," she teases.
"Gee, come on. Let's go to my place, you need a place to stay. I have a spare guest room in my apartment," he said as they went into the lift to head for the underground garage.
"Preem, I am thankful for your kindness,' Rebekka feeling flustered by this.
"Hey, we will be working together. So, we need to get used to each other," he said to get into the garage to see various vehicles to see Jack's AV parked there.
"Wow, you got your AV?" she asked.
"The perks of being a high-class agent of WI. I will show you the sights of Sacramento," Jack's eyes light up to unlock the doors to slide up to let them open to go inside. The doors open from above to hover high up to float above to see the huge Wellington Institute building looming over them. She sees a large enriching city by the coastline.
"So beautiful, better than Night City," Rebekka said.
"Anything is better than that eyesore. This place looks welcoming and warm. Mr. Wellington is promoting keeping the city neat and clean. Making it the crown jewel of the Free States of America. Proper for the FSA capital," Jack said as they flew towards his luxury penthouse on top of a large building.
"This is your digs?" she asked.
"Yep, all those eddies I got were well worth having this killer view," Jack said as they landed on a landing pad to see the awesome view of the wonderful city of Sacramento.
"Wow, this is Nova," Rebekka said as Jack gently held onto her hand. "Gee, he got firm hands," she thought enjoying the touch of his.
"Nova indeed, come on. I need to show you the place," he said as the interior is very open with the windows letting in the light giving it a very natural look. "This is the living room it's quite big. The kitchen is over there," he said to see a well-stocked kitchen.
He shows an armory room filled with weapons and gear. "You can put your stuff within here. Good to set up mission and whatnot," he said to keep moving around the place. "There are two bathrooms, two bedrooms, and a trophy room where I put all my stuff I gathered from my missions," he said as Rebekka was impressed with all this.
"Oh, that's pretty cool," Rebekka said as he showed her the guest room.
"This is where you will be sleeping. You've been through a lot today, we can start training more later," Jack said as Rebekka went up to him to kiss him on the cheek.
"Thanks, I am thankful for this," she said.
"No problem. Take a nap, I will see you later," Jack said as Rebekka stripped out of her bodysuit to only be in a basic white bra and panties. She looks over at a mirror to see her basic underwear looking sexy in her curves.
"I make this look good," she giggles to herself to leap onto the soft bed to look out the window to see a bright colorful city with the Wellington Academy tower looming over the city. "Thank you, Mr. Wellington, for giving me a second chance," Rebekka feeling grateful and going to take a nap.
Elsewhere Mr. Wellington is speaking with his friend the Shadow President of the FSA William Grant about the current situation. "Seems like we got ourselves a bit of a situation. The Neo-Nazi terror cell Iron Legion is becoming more active recently. Targeting government, corporate, and civilian buildings while doing assassinations on noteworthy government officials," President Grant said via hologram.
"Yes, it's concerning. I am thinking the NUSA are using them as a proxy to fight us," Willington said.
"I strongly believe this. We must maintain our alliance with Michiko's Dove faction. They will be needed in the fights ahead. Night City is a concern as well. Big things are happening there recently," President Grant said.
"Speaking of which, I have gotten a clone of one of the Edgerunners who raided Arasaka Tower. Rebecca or Rebekka the clone is one of my recruits," Wellington said.
"Well Carol, you have a gift for getting top-tier talent. We will need it in the coming years. Myers is on the move and we need to stop her or this great nation will be consumed by Militech's wraith," the president said.
"Of course, my friend. This will not be the Unification War, we will not fail you," Wellington said as he prepared for operations against the Iron Legion to get rid of Militech's proxies.
