The first gig was not that exciting. More like a tryout to get further gigs from El Capitan. I had to find some incriminating data on a network and send it his way. The people guarding the building were not that bright and I ended up just bypassing a few of them on my way for a quick contract close out.

If I'm not mistaken El Capitan also accepts cars you steal. I have not dealt with the guy much before now. I’m not even sure if I've visited him in person yet. I just know his area of control on the map is quite small and most of these jobs were a short distance away from each other. Making them quite a breeze.

It was nice for nice for once not having to blast or break my way into a place. I just walked up to the receptionist and paid a very small number of eddies for a room. This seemed like the kind of place that would rent a room by the hour if you asked.

I then tried to get some information out of the receptionist. She did not have any of it. I also did not want to press my luck and get kicked out as well. So, after a short chat, it was time to go hunting around the inn while claiming to be looking for my room if anyone noticed.

It turns out the Dewdrop Inn has a bit of an issue with drugs being produced on the property. I ended up finding the guy Capitan Reyes wanted dead. The room he was staying in according to Johnny smelled like drugs. Drugs that were being produced up one floor and coming in through the ventilation system. So, I went to gather further information about it.

At this point, some people realize I'm not acting like a normal guest of the inn. It was no big deal I did not even wake up any of the guests staying at this inn. The rooms were not as bad as I thought they would be. I could see someone getting some sleep here instead of using the rooms for say making drugs.

After a little bit of shooting on the point that I was not welcome inside that room. I found the Beta Acid being looked for and walked on out free and clear. I went and dropped off the item at a drop spot.

I never really went anywhere else other than to my apartment room in the building. I’ve maybe talked with a neighbor or two at most and that was it. I also have other places to stay now so I'm not here as often as I used to be.

Once I made it up to the floor the gang was on, I stood out like a sore thumb. I found myself quickly needing to fire back and cleared my way into the apartment room that had the person I needed to take out and the computer I needed a moment with.

This was such a quick and easy gig it took longer to ride the elevator back down to exit the building and go onto the next gig for El Capitan. Who at this point was starting to say how amazing I was doing each of these gigs as I cared for anything then some extra eddies if he felt I was doing so well.

I’m not kidding you. We showed up and he went to do his thing. Next thing I know everyone shooting at the guy. I must take out my sniper rifle and just start pegging people left and right. I don’t know who they are. I don’t know why they want the guy dead. I just know if that client gets killed, I'm not getting paid.

After all that, the guy just says the rumors about me are true. I was the right guy for the gig. I’m all for needing to keep things need to know. Some heads up about what was going to go down would be nice. At least another gig contract closed.

The house was already trashed like there had been someone else there searching for something. I ended up noticing the place had a basement, so I went down there thinking the chip had to be there.

That is when I noticed there was something else in the house and they must be the ones looking for the same thing as I was. Now, I'm not about to have someone else take this gig away from me. I did the only reasonable thing anyone would do in the situation. I put two bullets into the back of her head.

I found what was being looked for and headed out informing El Capitan I was done. He then gave me a bit of fun talking about not needing to kill the girl's sisters. had no idea they were blood-related. Even if I did, I'd have done it the same way again since she should not be going after what I was.

The things that were going on in this hospital were downright criminal. I can’t be sure what El Capitan would end up doing to the lady and she at the time had no idea why I was even helping her out. She, however, must be in a much better place than that hospital.

At the very least she got to reunite with her husband who was quite worried. It seemed like El Capitan was just going to keep his distance for the time being. The kind of information that lady might have I'm sure could come in useful one day, but it was not needed now.

I ended up speed-running a couple of them. I even let people shoot back at me without stopping to eliminate them unless they got in my way. I had quite a lot of armor from my upgraded implants at this stage of the game. Some of the enemies I ran into could barely put a scratch on me anyway.

I was kind of shocked a guy like that was even willing to leave his computer systems and go out on the gig with me. I mostly felt like I was just an actor and this guy had written a script. I was to wait at a diner till a van came at the exact time he ensured it would be arriving.

Final Thoughts

My reward for finishing them all off was an icon power shotgun. Shotguns are not my choice of weapon in Night City or even out in the badlands. This is one of those I'll either toss in my gun storage or just sell it off. It’s not worth a lot, which is a bit of a shame. I could always try upgrading it to a higher tier and see if it’s a lot better. I just don’t see myself using the shotgun often.
