"Lier told you to try getting Gorilla Arms installed. Did you go to Vic to place an order?"
Outside Arasaka Academy, V and Jackie were chatting-yes, even with a job coming up, Lier still insisted on finishing his classes for the day.
Lier's reasoning was: he had already paid, so why let the money go to waste?
