Misc.

 * Ten of Swords - Before leaving the cafe, So Mi gave Reed a datashard to contact her if he needed anything. The second he slotted it in, the surveillance cameras in the parking lot, which had not acted on his presence before, all pointed to him. Moments later an Arasaka van appeared, and So Mi still didn't answer. Once Reed had escaped, she contacted back. Two Arasaka troopers were in the train as well.
 * In PL, Myers has a scar on her neck, lower right backside (confirmed, tracker thingy from quite the beginning)

Tarot Cards

 * King of Cups - Might represent Songbird; found right next to Dogtown's main gate, where you first see her.
 * King of Pentacles - Represents Myers; found in the hideout at Kress Street after exiting the underground metro, where you bond with her. / If we go that each Tarot represents an FIA Agent, then Pentacles represents V.
 * King of Wands - Represents Reed; found at the basketball court, where you first meet him.
 * King of Swords - Might represent Alex?; found in an alley not far from the Moth. Closed nearby door for now.

Theories

 * First part of the expansion will be about teaming up with Reed, Alex and Songbird to rescue Myers. Second part will be to end Kurt's empire. Last part will be about an internal conflict between the FIA and NUSA. V will side with either Reed or Songbird. Reed is the one betraying the NUSA (maybe because Kurt has convinced him somehow). Reed is not as good as he seems, but he fights for what is right, and Songbird is not as bad as she seems, but fights for the current status quo. Myers is definitely bad.
 * So far Myers rescued, though no teaming up yet.
 * Other way around. Teaming up to rescue Songbird instead.


 * Who is the traitor? Who is "helping" Hansen?
 * Myers is definitely not.
 * Hansen has the motivation and the means, but it's too obvious. Something is fishy.
 * So Mi is the wild card. Unknown true motivations, but very capable means. She betrayed Reed due to reasons yet to be explained. She had more than one chance but instead saved V and Myers's life more than once. Although Johnny doesn't initially trust her, after the Chimera, he knows what she felt. Myers mentions she's had "off moments lately. Temporary slumps." Doubtful it's her unless she is psycho. Beyond the Blackwall AI attacked her?
 * Reed has very strong motivations, though his means are unclear. The way he interacts, it seems he doesn't have the full picture, thus unlikely to be him. Although strange he doesn't hesitate to rescue So Mi after the betrayal.
 * Alex. Motivations, yes. Means, not many. Probability, quite low.
 * Yet to meet other characters like the VDB netrunner.
 * Unknown party? The Relic seems to be involved somehow. Who or what can use it other than V, Johnny or So Mi?


 * The ending will be unlocked by keeping Songbird alive.
 * Joke and call back to Ten of Swords: she will give you a datashard during the epilogue of PL, and tell you if you need anything to call her back. She will proceed to betray you in the new ending.

Soundtrack
Speculation following:
 * 01. I'm a Netrunner - So Mi's theme. Likely inspired by Ghost in the Shell.
 * 02. Force Projection - Combat music.
 * 03. On the Prowl - Combat music.
 * 04. Bravo Foxtrot Golf - Combat music.
 * 05. Not a Plan, a Man - Reed's theme, mystery?
 * 06. Infiltration Compromised - Combat music; stealth section; danger.
 * 07. Agent Provocateur - Tension.
 * 08. Hardest to Be - Epilogue/Credits song.
 * 09. Just Another Weapon - Reveal. Someone is just a tool.
 * 10. The Man In Charge - Kurt's theme.
 * 11. Apex Predators - Barghest or Kurt's boss theme?
 * 12. You Can't Hide From Us - Sounds like So Mi's boss theme. Can't hide from the US?
 * 13. Contra La Luna - Spanish: Against the moon. A boss theme? Last riffs are the same as "You Can't Hide From Us."
 * 14. Never Looking Back - Something has been done and it's time to move on. Border control "ending?" Undertone similar to "Not a Plan, a Man." Also mixed with So Mi's tone and PL main theme.
 * 15. Test of Loyalty - Solomon's test to V. Do you follow him or die. Spaceport? Mixed with So Mi's tone.

Similar (especially the first two):
 * 01. I'm a Netrunner
 * 09. Just Another Weapon
 * 12. You Can't Hide From Us
 * 14. Never Looking Back
 * 15. Test of Loyalty

[Intro]
 * Hardest to Be lyrics
 * Hold down/Hold on
 * Oh-oo
 * Oh, no

[Verse 1]
 * When I fall, I fall a distance
 * Never knowin' which way's up, down
 * It's never what it seems when it's all I'm ever missin'
 * And it feels as though I'm waiting


 * And I don't need no head in my hands
 * To know why I'm ever heading way south
 * I think I'll find it all somewhere 'tween the ice and fire
 * Cause it's all I'm ever thinking

[Pre-Chorus]
 * And I need another savior

[Chorus]
 * I don't hear anything about it right now
 * Take down, all of this is jaded somehow
 * It's not me, so fade a little off in the wind
 * Make it up, break it up, find that it's the hardest to be

[Verse 2]
 * I'm never good at reading signposts
 * I lost my way at quarter past one
 * I'd shed a tear if I could even conjure up emotion
 * And I'm hungry for a feeling

[Chorus]
 * I don't hear anything about it right now
 * Take down, all of that is jaded somehow
 * It's not me, so fade a little off in the wind
 * Make it up, break it up, find that it's the hardest to be


 * (Don't hear) Anything about it right now
 * (Nooo, no way) Take down, all of this is jaded somehow
 * (Oooo) It's not me, so fade a little off in the wind
 * Make it up, break it up, find that it's the hardest to be

 * She has teary eyes when pushing the button
 * When opening the door Solomon realizes about So Mi's betrayal

 * A sizable island to the northwest?
 * Lots of data about altitude, time, etc.
 * So Mi looks really cold; lots of new cyberware
 * Myers talking to So Mi who is distracted by looking out the window

 * NC in all its splendor

Teaser 2

 * People
 * [0:24] A scary man. Likely to be the leader or someone important from the most powerful group in the Zone. The "General"'s people mentioned in the Combat Zone shard?
 * [0:27] Wolf/Dog logo on the armed soldiers. As someone pointed in Reddit by looking at the words above the BA logo, they may be called "Barghest" after the Witcher's doggy. Green themed.
 * [0:36] Reed's introduction.
 * [0:40] Myers most likely.
 * [0:44] More Reed. What's FIA? Federal Intelligence Agency?
 * [0:57] MaxTac's back.
 * [1:01] Explosion knocking V and Myers out. She seems concerned about V. Does the President have a heart?
 * [1:08] Reed's face reveal. My bet is that he's also a new love interest for both male and female V, though I don't see it lasting long.


 * Locations
 * [0:05] NUSA presidential space shuttle (aka "space force one"). Clearly gunned down and assaulted. Lifepod, likely containing the president, launched and lost somewhere in the Zone. Perpetrators likely to be the most powerful group (Barghest) in the Zone who are still looking for President Myers.
 * [0:27] Dogtown area - Is Dogtown the Combat Zone's name or just a location within? The teaser specific area shown is inside the stadium. Named after the "Barghest" or the kind of place the city think it is? There's a cargo ship wrecked in the background, formerly owned by Zhirafa by the looks of the logo? The "rafa" letters can be read.
 * [0:56] "Haven" place in the back.


 * Guns, Cyberware and Vehicles
 * [0:24] New pistol.
 * [0:49] Face cyberware. New form to infiltrate? Prior face needs to be removed or not?
 * [0:50] Custom 4x4 Thorton Colbys with heavy armor plates. Two variants: one a pick-up, the other station wagon-like. Car looks pretty tough and clean (especially the pick-up) and may be a unique factory/military variant instead of being custom built. Some cars have a graffiti that says "NUSA Hest" or something. Note: Teaser trailer 1 dome seen in the background.
 * [0:53] Either a new rifle or pistol. It also looks like there is vehicle-to-vehicle combat.
 * [0:56] New mantis finisher?
 * [1:00] Militech exo-skeleton. Might be a new more common enemy variant using the current skeleton seen in the game.
