Summary
It's a day like any other - nomads to meet on corpos' behalfs, gangs causing pile-ups on the roads, new braindances of old legends to discover, ripperdocs to visit, wayward partners to keep happy and sane, all in the blinding lights of Night City. Rote as it may be, II and III wouldn't change a thing.
In which II conducts business, III considers the consequences of his actions, worms are loved too and nobody gets hurt.
