♫ Why are we waiting, oh why are we waiting? ♫
This is the thought that has kept coming back to Stygge over and over ever since she parked her motorcycle in this parking garage, and every time it has been less and less tuneful. The only thing for her to do until the others arrive is for any trouble that wants to rear its ugly head. Either that or watch the top 10 biggest curbstomps in combat biking this year, a trid that her Maersk Spider had recommended to her. Then again, she has a pretty good idea which moments would've been selected for that trid.
Stygge had already connected her more important stuff to her Spider before leaving the shop. For now, that meant both her guns, her motorcycle and its (currently retracted) gun, her van back at base, and all her cyberware. For now, she has a bit of wiggle room and a bit of protection from hackers, but she knows she will need to upgrade to a new console at some point.
Suddenly, a message flashes in her vision. It's the dwarf who hired her for this job. Sounds like the squad's coming in hot. Not much more waiting now. Stygge sends a reply to the dwarf's message:
You got enough wheels for everyone or do I need to call in Meggy?
Sure, there's a nearby SUV the team will be using for transport, but will everyone fit in it? And if not, will some of them have had the foresight to bring their own sets of wheels? The elf hopes so.
