Chrome Hills Mall This all read like a bad sci-fi flick or one of those shitty old isekai anime. Place doesn't even seem all that different from Night City. But it doesn't really matter. Switch out one paymaster for another, and they've given him lots of meat to play with. Never gotten the chance to kill real demons before. How could he refuse?
The mall is his playground for the time being. Phantom Cipher just wants him to cause a racket, make some noise, draw attention. He's good at that.
And it's only a matter of time before Otherworlders answer the challenge. The mall was locked down by Phantom Cipher after Smasher made his entrance, but Otherworlders will find that curiously, the lockdown lifts to let them in. The main power was cut, but the emergency lights are on inside Chrome Hills, bathing the place in a dim, eerie red glow. Distantly, there are shouts for help, proof that people are still alive in here.
But there's also a great deal of proof that Smasher has been busy. Many unfortunate civilians lie where the full borg left them.
He was not gentle.
But sooner, rather than later, a conflict between the Otherworlders and Phantom Cipher's contractor is inevitable. A stray shot from his Projectile Launcher announces his presence.
"Finally. Someone who might be worth my time." He growls through a heavily synthesized, mechanical voice, modulated to be as deep and menacing as possible.
