"In Night City where legends are born in the part of the city called Watson in the area of Northside, a group from Arasaka is taking care of some small problem they had to deal with in former employees who turned their backs on them with everything going bad after the death of Saburo Arasaka. Everything turned downhill for the company leading to what is happening right now.....................
Arasaka Employee 1 'Japanese': "Can't believe we're desposing of these traitors nearly at a public area, we're going to get caught if we don't hurry."
Arasaka Employee 2 'Japanese': "The faster we do this we can get out of here without being found, so stop complaining and help me with this!"
.....................they toss the body they carried heading back to get another with a shadow seen getting one of their attentions.....................
Arasaka Employee 1: "Hey! Who's there?"
Arasaka Employee 2 'Japanese': "What's wrong?"
Arasaka Employee 1 'Japanese': "I saw something move over there. I'm going to investigate."
.....................he walks in the direction weapon in hand in case of a threat, he looks around a corner seeing no one and walks further. Unbeknownst to him is that someone is seen above him looking down at him until he lands behind him with a thud heard scaring the employee to look, but sees nothing sighing thinking it was nothing until hands grab his head turning his head snapping his neck killing him making his body shake to drop his weapon alerting the other employee.....................
Arasaka Employee 2 'Japanese': "Hey? What's wrong? Are you okay? What-"
.....................an Arasaka blade is thrown at him to impale him through the head with blood seeping out the wound until he falls on the ground dead. The remaining of the group waits for the two with the guard walking in seeing the dead employees which causes him to run at the van.....................
Arasaka Guard 1 'Japanese': "Start the van! Start it! Let's get outta here!"
.....................another guard goes to get in reaching in with his arm, but a foot appears kicking the door on his arm snapping it making him scream until his head is smashed through the window of the van. Another goes for his gun, but a thrown knife is thrown at his head killing him with his body flopping on the ground. An Arasaka Specialist runs in to kill the unknown attacker with the Mantis Blades, but her arm gets grabbed to have an elbow strike breaking the arm off making the girl scream leading to being stabbed by her own weapon into the wall following up with breaking the other blade off to stab her in the mouth through the head killing her and let her body hang there, the guard with the broken arm and cut up fave stands up, but gets shot in the head killing him. The last employee walks back scared until the unknown attacker looks at him causing him to run off, but gets shot in the back making him fall to the ground bleeding from his back. He tries to crawl away hearing footsteps walk up to him seeing the attacker standing over him wearing a red helmet unable to see his face.....................
Arasaka Guard 1: "Please don't kill me, I'll give you what you want. Spare me!"
Unknown Attacker: "Did you spare these people whose bodies you tried to dispose? Why would I show you mercy when you don't? That is what will be Arasaka's downfall!"
.....................he shoots him in the head killing him to holster his guns, he walks to the van with a gas canister and pours it on the van grabbing a match to ignite it and burn the car while bringing out a can of Spray Paint.....................
