(still astro's pov)

2077, 10 years later.

I woke up from an alarm. I was in my own apartment that i brought a few years ago. I sitted up and turned off the alarm, getting up. I turned on the radio which started playing holes in the sun (I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG!! WHEN IT'S ON BODYHEAT I JUST VIBE!!!!)

I got up from the bed, rubbing my eyes. I walked to the bathroom and took a shower. After a few minutes, i walked out from the shower, getting dressed again. I walked to the mirror and leaned against the sink.

I wiped the steam off the mirror, looking at my reflection.

I got a call from Dino. I answered.

"Hey astro, listen i've uh, got a Job. It'll be hard but-"

"Nothin's hard for me. What's the job?"

"Well, you have you rescue a guy. His husband said that maelstrom's got him when he was coming home from work. The guy's name is peter, and his husbands name is simon. Don't forget it. Sending you the deets."

Dino hung up. I sighed and pulled away from the sink.

I turned off the radio. Dino sent some details, a photo of peter and something else.

DINO: "Oh before i forget, Simon asked for no bloodshed incase maelstrom goes after them."

I putted on my shoes and left my apartment. I walked through some people who live in the same building. I forcefully bumped into one which was a corpo and they yelled at me, but i just grinned and kept walking. I called the elevator and waited. 

The elevator's doors finally opened and i went in, pressing a button. The elevator's doors closed and the tv's were playing WCN.

WCN: Hello. I'm carley lu revealing some news about poxie greene and dickson greene.

I heard the names, and tried to ignore the news report.

WCN: Poxie is pregnant with dickson's. They are excited to have a new bundle of joy! Infact, the two corpos has agreed to make 5 apartments for people who need them, well poxie agreed to do them all. But partically dickson.

My eyes widened with shock. 'The fuck?'

The elevator doors opened, I walked out and shook my head at the news. I walked to my car which was parked out side and started the engine. I started to drive, and an elder went in my way.

"Hey move!" I honked my horn at the elder, causing them to get spooked and move faster. Once they were out of my way, i continued to drive and parked.

I got out of the car. The place was well guarded and a camera nearly spotted me. I managed to hack it and turn it off before it can.

I forced open a door, luckly nobody was in the room to hear. I sneaked through the building, and saw a man aimming a gun at someone. I snuck behind the man and knocked him unconscious. I nodded at the person to go and they ran out.

I heard commotion in a room and peeked through by an opening that the door had. I saw people tied up, I saw a man which seemed like the man in the picture that dino sent me.

Of course, i saw a guard and managed to sneak through. It was all arasaka.

"クライヴが私たちに二交代勤務を望んでいるって聞いた?"

(Did you hear that clive wants us to do double shifts?)

うん。そしてそれはでたらめです。

(Yeah. And it's bullshit.)

I looked at a lamp, hacked it and it made alot of noise that caused the two men to turn to in. One of the men took a step forward, investigating. While he was distracted, I putted the other man in a chokehold, making him pass out. After that, i punched the other guy hardly. I turned around to the people and walked to peter. I got my knife out and cutted him out.
