"the chances of Militech wanting to find their equipment is normally not a problem...but when it's a Basilisk then its an entire new issue...they don't want something like this being stolen..." 
"the vehicle itself isn't like the newer models...they just wanted to ship this off to some third world country to gather dust and hand it to people who might not even know how to handle the stress the neural ports can affect your brain...so why waste it when we can just keep here in america where it can be a symbol of our clan!?" 
Driving up to the campsite Izuku and Panam were not surprised that both parties aren't in full agreement with the plan 
Tanner: "plus we're trying to keep Johnny's identity a secret..if the corporation find out he's alive they will not play around" 
Mitch: "Then we'll put a helmet on him...give a kiroshi optic maybe...there are ways to solve this problem
Panam: "MItch...what's going on here?" 
Izuku: "Tanner" 
Mitch: "We're just having a little convo here and there" 
Tanner: "I am trying to inform the risks of you going out into the raid sir...if any of the corporations find out that you are alive..it could stir some trouble for all involved" 
Izuku: "...and what did i hear about a Kiroshi optic?" looking at Mitch 
Mitch: "I'm just saying if it needs to come to it..we can give you a cyberware...i'm sure there's a Kiroshi optic laying around here " 
Izuku: "With all due respect Mitch but i cannot let myself be tainted by that disgusting design of a cyberware" 
Panam: "Why can't you take one?...be easier to hide your face right?" 
Izuku: "It's worst than that...a manner i cannot disclose just yet" 
Panam: "course there's more secrets...hmph..." 
Santiago: "We all have our secrets girl...some even best kept hidden..." walking up with Saul 
Saul: "so...your little team that you brought here" 
Izuku: "I'm listening" 
Saul: "Make sure they behave...one complaint and they're out...got it!?" 
Izuku: "Your the boss" 
Saul: "So far i'm only allowing a small group take this raid" 
Panam: "Are you kidding?" 
Santiago: "oh boy" 
Saul: "It will lessen the chances of the clan being exposed...the Basilisk is the only thing we need from this" 
Panam: "Hang on..we said that the stuff Johnny needs is also on that convoy" 
"If it was that easy" seeing the veterans there 
Mitch: "mhm" 

Tanner: "sir" 
Izuku: "Behave yourself...i heard you got into a small disagreement with the clan?" 
Tanner: "*sigh*" 
Izuku: "Stross?" 
Tanner: "Stross" 
Izuku: "what did he do?" 
Tanner: "well he got into an argument with their local ripperdoc...and medic...saying they live like pigs and such...to sum it up...he said their equipment is shit" 
Izuku: "I suspected much...Given he's ex TT so i don't doubt that" 
Tanner: "Now i hear we're helping out in their ambush on a convoy?" 
Izuku: "yes" 
Tanner: "who does it belong to?...Kang tao...Petrochem?...Biotechnica?" 
Izuku: "*sigh*...Militech" 
Tanner: "Oh....well...shit" 
Izuku: "They have a component that i need for the bomb to be made..." 
Tanner: "Any idea what this bomb will be?" 
Izuku: "Bushido X...a small Thermonuclear Bomb that has enough power in it to blow the shield tower in to the sky...It would make Fatman shit itself" 
Tanner: "and the blast radius?" 
Izuku: "the nuke is designed to utilize all of the energy being stored in it..into one concentrated area...but unfortunately city center will be a blaze of fire...everything else should be safe to traverse" 
tanner: "Unless they bury the rubble...Hope you know what your doing...what's the estimate casualties" 
Izuku: "..." quiet...unusual for him...Tanner would guess it's bad
Tanner: "That bad huh" 
Izuku: "Unless shit hits the fan...the very minimum...12,000" 
Tanner: "Jesus...fucking christ...and that's just optimistic thinking there...if it's worst...than what?" 
Izuku: "Don't know...probably make the entirety of Downtown uninhabitable until either Shield or the NUSA get involved with the forthcoming incident" 
Tanner: "Well...shit we're just gonna have to go with it...either go down at the group of psychos that took out a corporate tower...or the terrorist group that nuked an entire city"  seeing the tent flap open as Stross takes his helmet off and slams it on the table...kinda cracking it...taking out a cig and lights it...breathing out slowly...trying to calm himself...he finally acknowledges the two 
Stross: "Oh...hey boss" nonchalant as if he didn't just stomp into the tent like a pouting toddler 
Tanner: "Stross" 
Izuku: "..." silent...it would mean he's thinking of how to approach this...but...then again it's johnny so he'll be a dick about it
Izuku: "Heard you gave the ripperdoc and their medic a hard time." 
Stross: "so you heard" 
Izuku: "Normally if this was in night city i would give a scavs ass about it...but this is the only place we can take refuge in Stross." 
Stross: "If you seen what they patch these people up with it's almost like" 
Izuku: "I know...I've seen it...but they're Nomads...they don't have state of the art medical equipment like the NCPD or TT...so i need you to still your nerves...and shut the fuck up...we don't have to like them..we need to make sure they hold their end of the deal..and fucking with their people isn't a good image of us...it's tainted enough already by being ex Max-tac." 
Stross: "...bah...fuck...yes sir" 
Izuku: "Where's Hera?" 
Tanner: "She's talking with their netrunner...Carol...i think that's her name" 
Stross: "Mm-hmm...and River is out again...detective work" 
Izuku: "of course...we're holding a meeting...us...Panam, Saul, and of course Santiago with the veteran are going to discuss the plans on how to ambush the convoy holding the basilisk...you will listen...give your undivided attention to them...and hold your insults in your gonk mouths...meaning you stross" 
Stross: "Point taken" 
Tanner: "right" 
Izuku: "But...if there are issues that you see in the plan AND could provide some useful feedback and help improve the success rate on the raid...then go all out...i could give less of a shit...just keep your insults to yourself" nodding...Izuku now heads towards a table and he starts fiddling with the Overwatch Sniper rifle...
Tanner: "so the Nomads had another one of your fathers weapons?" 
Stross: "surprised it managed to survive the abuse it went through" taking the barrel out...and then the bolt...and he started to examine every part
Flashback 
Kendo: "Your weapons...the dragon treasure collection you have" 
Izuku: "Fire what?" 
Kendo: "right...they called weapons made by firedrake the dragons treasure..." 
Izuku: "Hmph...he called them the iconic gifts...again...don't care about the name preference...but yes...O'Five is the one i had to fight back for...my hand cannon here...made it myself...my father made a lot of weapons...some he even gifted to fixers and those who he had trusted...but again...they were lost...the company he worked with...Techtronika...was the leading corporation in replicating the weaponry...but...they were only one of a kind...only those who know of their locations or happen to have one...they pose a danger" 
Kendo: "and how many was there?" 
Izuku: "I...honestly don't know...Fenrir was the only other one along with Widowmaker i found from both Maelstrom and raffen shiv...which is a horrible thought...thinking about it...perhaps in due time...i could round them all up...one day...one day" 
Flashback ends 
Izuku: "..." putting the barrel back on...the gun now fixed and felt smooth...the aldecado tags and signs on it...he left it ...for the weapon has seen 
Hera: "Johnny" hearing her come in the tent 
Tanner: "oh hey...the mutt is back" 
Hera: "i'm gonna pretend i didn't hear that" 
Izuku finalized the weapon...as he switched the scope out...he throws the other one at Tanner who caught it 
Izuku: "Hera what's the result of your scouting" 
Hera: "well...NCPD are everywhere in the city...and i did get back the components it really wasn't a comfortable experience 
Flashback 
Fingers: "Come on...you know i can't just let you take them...what the hell would he do if i let him down?!" 
Hera: "For your own good creep...I advise you to hand it over...otherwise we'll have trouble" 
Finger: "Shame...here i was hoping he would come back..for it...he's really dead huh?" instead of the other times she's seen his perverted and creepy nature...he was really sincere with his grief 
Hera: "so...please" as he opens the door to the box containing the materials...she gets it 
Hera: "thank you Fingers" 
Fingers: "Just go...and hey" stopping her 
Hera: "Hmm?" 
Finger: "be a good girl...and make sure you don't ruin his legacy...otherwise i'll have to do something about it" 
Hera nods...and just exits 
Flashback ends 
Izuku: "I'm touched" 
Hera: "didn't know if that was a threat or not" 
Izuku: "Likely a threat...he knows some of the mox...ever since i helped him improve his behavior to where the Mox finally tolerated him...along with dolls...never seen a man more positive after that" 
Hera: "still a creep" 
Izuku: "whatever" 
Panam: "hey...we're about to start the planning...bring an extra" 
Izuku: "*sigh*...right...Hera come on" 
Hera: "what?" 
Izuku: "You got a better memory...plus you can run down the details easier" 
Tanner: "Can't lie about that" following her...seeing the two leave...
Tanner: "ripperdoc said he could improve my frontal cortex implants...doubt it...he doesn't have the equipment needed to handle these old gen implants..." 
Stross: "Max-tac Implants are far different than your average chrome...you'd be lucky if you can find a decent enough ripper doc to handle complications" 
Tanner: "agree to that" working on the gear now...taking the components he sets it on the table Izuku had been using
