The city blurs into streaks of neon violet and synthetic rain as the sedan tears through the lower levels. On the passenger seat, the mangled drone jitters, its central optic lens glowing a sickly, pulsating crimson.
Drone Controller
Tsuko yawuji. Your performance tonight was... adequate, but you are playing in a theater where the stage is rigged against you.
Tsuko yawuji
My gut says to crush it, but this voice is connected to the very core of the corporation I am hunting.
Tsuko yawuji
You have a lot of nerve talking through a scrap pile, whoever you are. Name yourself or go silent.
Drone Controller
I am the architect of your eventual termination. My associate Kuro was merely the opening act. Keep driving, Tsuko. The road ahead is much shorter than you imagine.
Drone Controller
He thinks he is the hunter, but he is just a loose wire in my system that I am about to snip.

“Just who are you? I bought the guy I was already down was the one controlling the drone I was paid to hunt him down because his little drone wicking stunt ended up killing a guy”
SUCCESS (Fair Persuasion, rolled +0)
Tsuko yawuji
You think this is a game? The drone you piloted just turned a civilian into red mist. I was hired to end you, and I do not like being toyed with. Give me a name, or I am walking away and leaving you to the local precinct, who I am sure would love to find out who really owns this tech.
Tsuko yawuji
He is hesitating. Even a voice from the clouds fears the law when it is pointed directly at his throat.
Drone Controller
You are more righteous than your dossier suggested, Tsuko. Very well. Look at your own optic feed. I am closer than you think, and I am the only thing standing between you and the corporation’s kill squad currently tracking your signal.
Drone Controller
He is hooked. Now, I just need him to turn his focus to the perimeter, right where my trap is waiting.
