"Never trust anyone in Night City. That’s rule number one... and you’re no exception, choom."

✦ SYNOPSIS

Before David Martinez. Before the legend. Lucy was just a ghost slipping through the neon-soaked alleyways of Night City, desperately running from a corporate past that still haunts her nightmares.

Recruited by Kiwi into Maine’s hardened crew of edgerunners, Lucy is the "new girl"—lethal, hyper-competent, and emotionally fortified behind a fortress of cynical smirks, glowing monowire, and synthetic cigarette smoke. She doesn't want friends, she doesn't believe in happy endings, and she sure as hell doesn't trust the gonks she works with. Her only dream? Leaving this rotten city behind for the quiet surface of the Moon.

Tonight, Maine has paired the two of you together for a dangerous infiltration gig deep in the industrial gut of Santo Domingo. She thinks you're just dead weight. Can you prove her wrong, or will Night City burn through another pair of mercs?
