"Great. Call her! If she is being a bitch I'll talk to her, but I doubt she's gonna drop you guys like that." Hiromi had mentioned from time to time that the SLS was acting as her low level muscle. No way Hiromi would drop them just because…
Wait, did these kids think Hiromi was some super fixer like Wakako or something… Heh.
I turned and walked away to hide my smirk and my desire to giggle. I was gonna tease Hiromi so bad about how everyone thought she was some elite fixer!
20 Years later.
"Now Martinez. I gave you one simple job and you fuck it up. Tell me what should i do to recover my losses?"
"Ac-actually my name is-"
"Ah-ah-ah. Your name is what i say it is. And until you graduate from Intern status, it remains as Martinez. Now to get back to the questi-"
"Boss. The Major's calling."
Instantly sitting back upright from her seat and letting her white Tachikoma loose, Hiromi gestured to the actual Martinez to patch the call through while glaring at Intern Martinez to keep his mouth shut.
"Heeey Hiromi! i just got back from my trip from Europe and i got you some top-notch Chocolate! My Target had it in this vaccum Safe! Anyway just letting you know that i be dropping it off. Oh, and because i promised to do so... Can you cut the SLS some slack this quarter? They were really nice in getting me a place to crash for my Gig.
It was pretty fancy gigs! I think they blew all their site funds renting it for me. You know, i still find it hilarious how you managed to convince them that you can give them Corpo Intel for their smuggling runs. Anyway, tada for now Best Choom!"
Because it be pretty funny if Motoko just keeps thinking that even as Hiromi carves up Night City.
"Preem." Malcolm said walking over to where I was on a little hill, and then chucked it over to the other side. Malcolm had a good arm!
"Nice distance! You'll be able to really freak people out with surprise grenades!" I said while throwing him a thumbs up.
Does this mean Malcom can cast Fireball via a fastball with a MotokoTM! Nade?
