The Beginning of the Chaos

Following the coordinates Regina had provided, the group arrived at an old warehouse in northern Night City. There, D saw Regina pacing anxiously.

"Where is he?"

That was the first question Regina asked after seeing D. D gestured to Lucy, who opened the trunk and dragged out the unfortunate idiot.

"So it's all true. Damn..."

"That's good, but we still need to think about how to play this
