DemonxE3 is kicking my butt, I don't know if I'll have time to do anything substantial until thursday when things start to calm down.

Bio
I'm an adult (most of the time) so I enjoy mature content and good stories. Most of the time you'll find me in some Sci Fi thing or another but I do sometimes end up in fantasy roleplays and ,in very rare occasions, slice of life stuff. I've dabbled in other sections of the GUild over the years but Casual Sci Fi seems to be my comfort zone. I'm probably the least intimidating person you'll ever meet and I'm always open to suggestions. I look forward to making some great stories with you all!

I eagerly await your return!
As the shootout died down and the others took care of what was left Mika was left naked and some random mutant was eyeing her up and asking for an exit. "I can burn a hole in your face to help you with that staring problem too." She wasn't particularly fond of this side effect of her powers, it wasn't that she couldn't burst into flames without ruining her clothes but she still hadn't quite perfected the technique. On the other hand, it was a fairly effortless way of getting undressed. In the mean time she walked towards the nearest corpse on the floor beside her. They were bleeding all over the floor and Mika could feel the warmth of the freshly spilled blood beneath her feet. It was unfortunately not an unfamiliar feeling.
She examined the corpse, which was missing a large portion of it's head but it was clear to see that it was a young girl. She was wearing a long coat which Mika promptly pulled over herself despite the bloodstains. The coat itself was a bit too colorful for her taste but beggars can't be choosers so she made do. Mika started towards the doors looking at the fallen swat cops on the floor. "I should really stop holding back when I use my powers..." The whole situation stank. Mika could tell that something wasn't right. "Hey, I don't think this is over." She spoke to everyone left around her. It was somewhat comforting that other Mutants were present and not just normals, at the very least their survivability was much higher.

It is on purpose. I thought it would be silly to have her land in Night City the day of the event because then she couldn't gather much intel on site before the expo.
Managed to sneak some time for a small post. Not much but I don't want anyone to have to wait on me.

Arasaka Private Jet, en route to NC International Airport
After years of service to the Arasaka clan tracking down traitors, stealing secrets from rival companies, and occasionally making people disappear, she never really felt nervous before embarking on a job. This was of course her first time outside of the Japanese Empire. She wasn't quite sure what to expect. The western world was much more like the pirate ridden Philippines, with plenty of crime and violence around every corner. People in the west were also considered to be rude and unsophisticated. Many rumors made the west out to be a land of disorder. Soon she would see for herself what the western world was like.
She would be landing soon and her orders were clear. First she would just be gathering information but that could lead to anything. Maria was almost as clueless about the new AI being showcased as the rest of the world. Microtech had somehow kept it secret from a clan as powerful as Arasaka which was not an easy task. If the next few days went as planned then Maria would be looking at a promotion at the very least.

Microtech R&D Building, Night City, CA.
*Cough cough* "Ugh, you'd think a sterile lab enviroment would have clean ventilation shafts..." Maria found herself trudging through dust and rat shit trying to get into the main server room for MicroTech's closed network. It was unfortunately impossible to access remotely and trying to netrun through a terminal in the labs was too risky, after all if anyone found her while she was plugged in she wouldn't know it until it was too late. That left only one option, she had to break into the main server at the main server. After several more minutes of crawling through the vents she came across a room that was colder than all the rest. It had to be what she was looking for.
After checking to see that the coast was clear she busted the vent to the room and gracefully dropped inside. An entire wall of storage and electronics housed and MicroTech's most valuable assets including their prized AI technology and soon it would belong to Arasaka. Maria sealed the door to the server room and plugged in to the server. It's decor was dreadfully mundane, if Maria were a Net Decorator she would have purged the system of this insult to architecture. Regardless she moved through the many files of irrelevant data to find what she was looking for. It was odd that such an important datafortress was so utterly unguarded, something clearly wasn't right. Finally she came across a file marked 'Project Intellect', it had to be the file! She opened it... and there was nothing. Not even so much as a trace of data having been deleted. There was never anything there, but wait. Something else was happening... A brainspike!
Maria ejected herself quickly before any damage was done but it had also set off the alarm. She had no choice but to retreat for now so no one could identify her. Quickly she made her way up through the vents and back down again through a garbage chute and ultimately back onto the street. It wasn't the most sanitary escape but she was clear of danger for now. "I guess I'll have to wait until the Expo to get anything useful, they were smart to leave a dummy database."

I'm around I just don't have any time for a few days while E3 is going on.
@MidoriWait, you get to go to E3!?!?! Lucky Bastard, I envy you so much right now, you have no idea.
More like I have to work at E3 but still I do feel pretty lucky.
I'm gonna be at E3 all week doing work stuff and checking out all the new games.
You didn't really mention anything about the plot in your post. I guess I can just establish my character in the first post too then. It may have to wait a bit though depending on how my night goes, we'll see.
