Her radio. Her radio’s talking. Sometimes she forgets she even has that.
”Ah - copy, Warlock. Repositioning to cover exits, ETA 15 secs, should be ready when you are. I might be able to arrange a less-lethal if I don’t get any surprises.”
Rifle, assembled. Streaming persona offline. Scope live. Nothing but stiffs on visual.

@Pink_Dot !!!!!
Chat window closed.
Mira takes a short run and a long jump over the carnage, rifle tightly cradled for the landing across the street.
”Careful with whoever dropped this many Regs. I’d lose to just one.”

Dime's handwriting is... nightmarish distinctive. The basic, biographical details have been written in a different hand from the rest of the document, which is thankfully being handled by a professional reader.

Expressing my continued interest
I thought about posting a sort of resume but that'd be stupid

So what is the monetary system? Yen, Cred sticks?

@Meleck

Maggie’s first post mentions Eurodollars, which I’m pretty sure is a Cyberpunk 2077 thing, and no one’s contradicted that yet. We’re in what was California so Yen probably isn’t standard, but I can see it being traded anyway on account of there being a mini Japan in Nova City. Possibly all kinds of money work here due to thematic capitalism reasons. But I’m not the GM.

"If I cut out the company secrets altogether I lose my enemy spy demographic. Don't wooorry, I'm totally in control of what gets through."
Locate the target and recover whatever data she stole. Once that's done, kill her and report back to me.
Mira carefully does not show her reaction to this order. She blinks. She starts half of a sigh, and stops herself. She smiles and salutes.
"Straightforward as ever, Dez. I'll even bring some brain matter back if you want! Rest of you can follow me if you can keep up, but this sounds time-sensitive!"
She hangs around just long enough to catch his reflexive facial reaction to the offer on camera, then turns and runs off.

As soon as she climbs up to a rooftop out of earshot, she lets out the laugh.
"Chat. Chat, you have no- oh my god. This is why we bring down the corporatocracy, okay? That order he just gave me - however it came through to you guys - it's literally what I was doing anyway before he called me over! This is it, this is why I bring it all down! Get it in your manifestos, people."
She sighs.
"Alright, Faraday. Point me to the nearest Regulator gunfight."
_{"Error 232 failure to parse."}
"Sorry. Faraday, search for current reports of violent activity involving the Regulator gang."
the WHAT gang
pinky please you have to turn the filter off im dying
The moderator team would like to remind you not to repeat the language you are currently hearing at home.

Faraday did not give her a precise location, but when you're looking for Regulator violence, a kilometer or two off course can be afforded. They get real loud, and to a trained ear, no firearm report sounds quite like that of a Regulator custom piece. (Kouhai replaces the reports with Creative Commons gunfire soundclips. The program is begrudged the world over for its thoroughness.)
The last challenge is getting a vantage point. Everything's about the same height around here, so she can't get a truly dominating view of the combat zone... she settles for a rooftop a little ways down the street, takes a quick peek over the side to make sure it's the right one - there's a police cruiser and at least half a dozen men blazing their rifles at it, that's good enough - then ducks out of sight and starts unpacking her own big gun.

"Cutting down my bandwidth. Sorry, chat, probably gonna have to wallbang, I need clear air for visual. Resolution'll be better in post, your clips'll be okay."
She pops open her rifle case.
"Like this runner won't be."

30 seconds to assembly. A connected netrunner would light up like neon on her scope, and Mira knows she's looking for one. Regular heat signatures are harder to see, but if less than two walls or so of combined solid surface is in the way, she'll have an unconditional visual on both of you.
She's still streaming, of course, so an online netrunner could get as much as a 144p direct view of what's coming before she even starts to aim...

Mira's following orders on her way to capture people from the police, then Wade interrupts her to call her over, and Wade orders her to go capture someone from the police
This must be an accident but it's doing so much more for her relationship with Milicor than I could've, it's just like a real military

2086 - A Cyberpunk RP

That sound.
Helicopters...?
Mira pauses her run for the precinct and looks up, then, very quickly, looks down. Oh shit. Those are MDI.
...MDI sent helicopters. That many. Into Nova City.
...bigger than Lt. Brave could tell her, huh?
"Cut the last three seconds of visual from the stream," she whispers, urgently. A clicking sensation in her temple acknowledges the order. "Oh, and activate the... let's try the 'Kouhai' filter." Click. "Let's see what chat thinks."
On the stream's visual, there's a short period of buffering as Mira begins to raise her view, and then the world gets suddenly more... saturated. Mira looks up again, and the helicopters are branded in Japanese. Those who know the language would recognize the former MDI logos as now reading "S-sensei! Noooo!" and "Don't touch me there~!"
"Alright chat, things are getting a little complicated now. Don't worry, you'll still get to see all the action - I just have to hide some identities. Hope none of you can read Japanese."
what the fuck desu??
oh no pinky this is degenerate
i like the pyroland filter better can we go back to that one
i heard them from here, look outside nc folks those choppers are [CONTENT BLOCKED]
>User has been timed out for 30 seconds.

Then, within another minute, a new call: another one from Contractor. Or, to the stream, from Itai-senpai.
"Sorry all, another break."
"NCS947, Brave speaking. Mission update. You're wanted at the Bema facility. Same coordinates as mentioned. Sorry about the confusion."
"Wha- why?"
"Wade wants you. I'm outranked. Just go." Beep.

Blink. Blink. Lenses back down, back to the stream.
"Whew, I hate my bosses sometimes."
She runs a quick mental calculation regarding the right vector to get there from here... it's where the helicopters were going. Oh shiiit...
She sets off to running again.
"You ever had bosses who went against one another? Like a tug of war for your obedience? Do this, no do that, until someone pulls rank and you're doing that when you thought you were doing this. Sometimes it's even your fault, they say, like why aren't you doing this? Like it's my problem you guys can't get organized? I'm following orders! What about this whole singular vision you keep saying we have, you know?"
you're going after the helis? whats happening?
did that store sign say what i think it said
i think that sign was a quote from- i mean i dont know what thats a quote from lol
Don't forget your rifle, Pink
"Don't forget dis dick. He's backseating, mods, get him."
>User has been timed out for 2 minutes.
It's Wade who wants her, and she wouldn't have to go far out of her way, so...
She bullies chat all the way to her equipment stash, and then all the way to the AO.

Team One may be alarmed at the sight of a woman leaping into their perimeter from a nearby rooftop, massive rifle case slung over her shoulder. Mira doesn't mind - startling men with guns is a good performance for the viewership, and Milicor is familiar with trigger discipline.
"Hey, Dez!" she calls. Her chat, through the Kouhai anonymization filter's display of Desmond Wade as an anime boy, hears this nickname only as "Onii-chan!," but still gets to see something near his real physique, and begins barking CHAD and HUSBANDO. This is a ritual whenever a big man is on camera. Not often but more than once, that big man has been Dez.
Mira casts around a smile for the mercs, at the same time eyeing the corpses scattered and splattered around. "This already looks like a place you've been to. So what're we doing today? Where're we raising hell next?"

"Fine. Have her regroup with our squad until further notice. Warlock out."

MISSION UPDATE
I was gonna have Mira creep into the precinct and bully Emma and Maggie and co. in there, but it looks like the Regulators are handling that on their own
Stupid MDI always overriding each other's orders...............

@Kiragan_Natsuki No point being in the RP if I'm not in the picture, RPing with myself is what I have MS Word for
I'm up for whatever happens to Mira short of maybe rocks falling
