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.
 * Who is the traitor? Who hacked the SFO? Where did Hansen get this "netrunner" from and who are they? - Answer: her wings are clipped.

Info
(new database?) New United States of America - The official beginning of the New United States of America is marked by the ratification of the country's constitution, which took place on July 4, 2053. It was then that Elisabeth Kress, having ruled the country for 35 years, handed over power to an interim government in preparation for elections. Rosalind Myers was the third person in the presidential seat and also the second woman to hold the post. She began her first term in office by presenting a unification program to fulfill the age-old ambition of the federalist NUSA government - to reunite all the states. The separatist territories were, of course, reluctant to return under the star-spangled banner, which led to the outbreak of the Unification War in 2069. The conflict ended with the signing of the Treaty of Unification, which guaranteed that the Free States would retain their autonomy on the condition that they join the new federal government.\n\nThe center of NUSA power resides in the megacities to the northeast of the country, referred to collectively as the Plex and covering areas from Boston in the north to Washington in the south. President Rosalind Myers' third - which doesn't mean last - term in office is now coming to an end. Although the country's official political system remains a democracy, the continued dominance of one party (the Federalist Party) since the 2050s and strict national security restrictions make NUSA more like an authoritarian-run police state in reality.

Story Notes

 * Part 1
 * Militech had secrets underneath Pacifica from the 2020s.
 * The NorCal Armed Forces fought in Night City against NUSA and Militech. Arasaka arrived in June 12.
 * The Dogtown wall was supposedly built before the war due to a "gas leak."
 * Barghest was founded in 2070 - NUSA operation in Pacifica called "Midnight Storm."
 * Midnight Storm's objective was to capture Serenisands and establish a NUSA staging ground in NC. Peace was signed soon after and Hansen was left to fend for himself. Everyone treated them as if they were never in NC. Hansen carved out Serenisands into a NUSA enclave, going on his own. No one expected him to last much, but he did. Dogtown is born.
 * Only 6 of the originals remain: Colonel Kurt Hansen, Lt. Colonel Albert Murphy, Lt. Colonel Chester Bennet (works with Mr. Hands), Lt. Yuri Bychkov, Leon Rinder, Farida Nazeri.
 * During Birds With Broken Wings there are 8 portraits of high-ranking Barghest: Kurt Hansen, Albert Murphy, Chester Bennet, Jago Szabó, Yuri Bychkov, Carl "Dodger" Robinson, one unknown (might be Ross Ulmer), and Leon Rinder.
 * High ranking: Carl "Dodger" Robinson (Coastview NCPD gig), Ross Ulmer (patrols on an exoskeleton around Golden Pacific), more.
 * 2071 marked the year that Dogtown was cemented under Hansen's control.
 * SF1 got hacked and changed curse to Dogtown before being taken down.
 * Expo Hall
 * Militech new never built HQ, from above looks like the M logo. Why this building (other than the underground secrets) when they already got the massive office in Corpo Plaza?
 * What part of NC does the hologram represent? Pacifica? Doesn't seem to be anywhere.
 * Is grabbing the Chimera core essential for the new Ending or something important? - So far it acts as a memorabilia, though there is the note of "Possible application; weapon modification" and it can be picked up after putting it on display.
 * Tunnels camera can capture V and Myers. The data can be deleted from the control room if they have caught you. If not deleted, what happens? Wouldn't know. - The Barghest attack when driving with Solomon to Kress Street. Then you also fight them at the hideout. Otherwise, it's a smooth ride.
 * Myers was already president by 2069. She has been for twelve years, starting in 2065.
 * How important is the oath? Let's find out. Johnny really likes not taking it while he hates if taken and mentions it from time to time. - Afaik it doesn't change anything other than some banter with Johnny. Which is good.
 * Reed. Paranoid 101. Why he alive and why he still working for the FIA?
 * Reed survived the Arasaka assault. Three shots. Was f for 6 months. Doesn't trust Myers. He is willing to rescue So Mi despite the "betrayal."
 * Everytime So Mi is mentioned, Reed has a sad face.
 * Treating Symptoms: Do not listen to Johnny.
 * Balls to the Wall: Always follow your instincts. Don't be like Paco.
 * There's a couple of high quality large photos compared to the rest on the tree at LS market. Likely a quest. - Not a quest, though they are the victims of the Scavs from the Los Osos Motel.
 * Hansen was already preparing before the SFO situation.
 * Alex stayed in Dogtown for seven years, thinking Reed had betrayed her. It was a cover up for Reed to act as a lone sleeper agent.
 * Leon Watson needs more morning coffee.
 * American Animal Defenders' Association (AADA): Short-hair Mittens is finally back in her Washington home. Time to continue the search for the elusive violet bird.


 * Part 2
 * Slider is afraid of the Blackwall and Reed.
 * So Mi did not learn from history lessons.

 * She is hell-bent on letting V know that she wants to uphold their deal.

 * He is looking to overthrow Hansen.
 * Knows about the Cynosure project, whatever that is. Working with Bennet from the Barghest.
 * Plans to infiltrate the Black Sapphire.
 * Reed explains what happened during the assassination attempt. He was sold out as a peace offering. He knows it was So Mi who pulled the trigger, but considers her one of his people and will always care about them. Myers is the one Reed distrusts and hates.
 * Alex has a full armory underneath her bar.
 * Black Sapphire heist.
 * Hansen flooded the parking and tunnels since he didn't have enough soldiers.
 * Top floor inspired by ancient Greece.
 * Lots of characters: Gillean Jordan (N54), Arif Iqbal (WNS), Josh Kavorkin (Your Business program), Mr. Hands, Weldon Holt talking to Arasaka agents, Ziggy Q (TV program), Jerry Fawlter (NCPD commissioner) talking to a 6th Street Officer, Ruth Dzeng (TV program), Hideshi Hino (Takemura's double), high-ranking Tyger Claws talking with the Russian Mob (Maiko Maeda is with them), Reverand Clover (TV), Stanley (Radio host), Lizzy Wizzy.
 * Organizations present: Arasaka, Soviets, Russian Mob, 6th Street, Tyger Claws, Valentinos (with a cat).
 * So Mi is dying and she thinks she knows about a cure. That explains mostly everything.
 * Reed makes some accusations. Let's see how right he is.
 * The Cassel siblings are something else, but typical at the same time.
 * They are known as Skylight in the Net.
 * Both worked for Project Cynosure.
 * So Mi and the twins are the key to Cynosure.
 * Reed was caught, V later as well. Hansen doesn't want to spill blood unless completely necessary. The media has gotten to him.

 * Prepping the kidnaping.
 * Time with Songbird and Alex. A choice on the horizon.

Character Notes

 * Myers
 * Myers is surprisingly more relatable than I thought she would be. Lies incoming.
 * She is not a fan of formalities and prefers the life of a soldier. Though she seems a little bumped out if not taking the oath.
 * Myers approved all of So Mi's interactions with the Blackwall. What is she hiding/looking for?
 * Myers broke international Net laws. She is very f up if the truth comes to light.
 * Reed describes her as a sore loser that will do anything to have the upper hand.
 * Myers wants So Mi back, alive or in a bag.
 * (insert worst words to ever exist to describe her)


 * Hansen
 * Hansen was seemingly convinced by So Mi. That's why he was prepared for the SFO's arrival. So Mi sold Myers in exchange for the tech. But did she?
 * She did, though Hansen preferred the "welcome" of the Valkeryes.
 * Hansen tried to get Myers but she escaped. It doesn't matter much to him as he has Songbird. He threatens to reveal the world what the NUSA president has been doing if he is not left alone. He doesn't plan to return Songbird and refers to her as his friend.
 * Trying to control so much without understanding it will be his undoing.
 * Hansen always intended to kill So Mi after extracting the Cyonsure AI.
 * He is either killed by Alex after V sides with So Mi, or Hansen kills Alex if V betrays So Mi, then he is killed by V.


 * So Mi


 * 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."
 * Space Force One was built by Songbird's specifications.
 * She ejected from the plane in a lifepod. It landed in the hills of eastern Dogtown. The crash might have caused her internal organ injuries. She killed a bystander at close range using her Smart weapon.
 * Blackwall confirmed to have messed things up, though for no apparent reason other than killing for now. So Mi doesn't have any secret plans for the time being.
 * So Mi is hell-bent on helping V. Does she have regrets for doing the bad things she has done and now wants to do a good one? Very likely she went far as a netrunner thanks to the Blackwall. Does her "cure" involve using the AIs beyond the wall? Will V have to choose between themselves or ending the world, aka destroying the Blackwall?
 * All her interactions with the Blackwall were approved by Myers. She has been using Songbird for her benefit to go beyond the Blackwall.
 * In her first op in Colombia, she f up and almost got Alex killed.
 * So Mi is the traitor. He knew Hansen had uncovered some secret tech that could help her. So Mi is dying in a similar fashion as V, but in her case it's due to the Blackwall. So Mi seemingly convinced Hansen to help her in exchange for Myers. It was her who hacked the plane. But So Mi did also everything she could to help Myers and thanks to V and Reed, she escaped. So Mi's wish to help V is genuine? Does she see V as a kindred spirit or a simple tool? She was bumped out by Slider's death.
 * So Mi keeps insisting on letting V know she wants to help them, and is very glad V is helping her. If someone insists way too much, they are either lying, insecure, desperate, or all of them. - All of them.
 * So Mi wants to talk to V in person to prove she fully trusts V. Something important that no one has to know. She is definitely playing some game.
 * Trust, trust, trust. Brooklyn; admitting the fault about the SFO crash; desperate to disappear; bitter about Reed's recruitment (though how much is hate and how much is regret?); phantoms from beyond the Blackawall. Do you trust her or do you not?
 * So Mi contacted V before reaching Dogtown, thus her plans were always for V to rescue Myers from Hansen or before he caught her. Hansen decided to improvise using missiles though.
 * Awakened old memory. Honesty, hope, freedom.
 * She is willing to kill innocent and not so innocent people in order to escape and save herself and V.
 * She taps into the Blackwall in order to escape, leaving her very hurt.
 * She and V separate in order to escape from the FIA.
 * V helps Song go through the NUSA forces at the NCX.
 * The clinic is on the Moon.
 * She doesn't have much time left.
 * So Mi reveals she has also betrayed V. There is only a one-time-use cure.
 * If V betrays her at NCX, she will be back in Washington.
 * If betrayed by V, So Mi goes cyberpsycho and kills lots of people.
 * Lot is revealed about So Mi's past in Cynosure.
 * For one, she is a fan of Silverhand, or at least was.
 * Had a boyfriend, though the relationship doesn't seem very healthy for neither side.
 * Photos of her mother, travels around the world (or NUSA) with her friends.
 * Revelations about what truly happen to her while being part of the FIA. Reed cared about her yet he still let them do their experiments. One time she didn't even recognize him. When she talks to V about not remembering her mother's voice, it was genuine.
 * So Mi cares about Reed but hates him for forcefully bringing her into the FIA and allowing them to treat her as a lab experiment. She hates Myers the most, though she also looks up to her for her resolve.
 * Afraid, desperate and with many regrets. She preferred to die than return "home."


 * Reed
 * Reed has very strong motivations, though his means are unclear. The way he interacts, it seems he doesn't have the full picture. Although strange, he doesn't hesitate to rescue So Mi after the betrayal.
 * Not that good of a guy. But who is after so much?
 * He doesn't want revenge against Songbird; it is Myers who he has a problem with.
 * Reed still doesn't know how things will end and which side he will choose, but he wants to help So Mi.
 * Reed is another wild card with unclear motivations yet going forward.
 * Reed has not shared his deductions to Myers, instead saying it was all Hansen's plan. Protecting So Mi or something else?
 * Old dog.
 * Reed wants to question So Mi about her betrayal to the NUSA. He says he is willing to let her go afterwards. Does he?
 * How much loyal is Reed to his country and laws?
 * Cold-blooded killer.
 * Reed makes no comment when escaping with So Mi from the stadium.
 * Reed helps V escape the stadium if V betrays So Mi. He contacts Myers to inform her of the situation.
 * Reed is a Tekumura 2.0. A leashed hound.
 * V might kill Reed or give So Mi to him.
 * If V takes Reed's deal at NCX, he may promise V a solution for their problems.
 * Cynosure and afterwards shows who Reed truly is.
 * Reed is the best and the worst someone could become. So much belief and so much regret.
 * He allowed the FIA to experiment with Songbird knowing how painful it was for her.
 * Despite being nearly assassinated, he still decides to work for them.
 * He blames V and himself if "someone" dies.
 * He blames himself either way.
 * He has been following orders all his life, he doesn't know another way of life. He'll live, bleed and die for his country until the bitter end.


 * Alex
 * Motivations, yes. Means, not many.
 * Wants to retire and live in Monaco.
 * Better person than Reed.
 * Smart, but a little naive at the same time. Distrustful, yet she can trust to some extent.
 * Despite saying not to get close to them, Alex is very open to V and talks a lot about her past.
 * Alex is happy V is one of the team.
 * Worried, dreamer, flirtatious, tired, lost, hopeful, scared. A second chance in life.
 * Cold-blooded killer.
 * She is killed by Hansen if betraying So Mi. Otherwise, Alex kills Hansen.
 * Willing to let V die due to the engram. Sends them a postcard from Monaco.


 * Unknown Party?
 * The Relic seems to be involved somehow. Who or what can connect to it other than V, Johnny or So Mi?
 * So Mi had to use the Blackwall to connect to V via the Relic. Blackwall AIs can influence through So Mi.
 * AI casualties so far: Chimera, Slider, many more in the Stadium. A few more if she ends in MaxTac's custody. Uncountable if V crafts certain things.

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.
 * Reed trust his agents, but completely distrusts Myers.
 * Change of plans. Time to steal from Hansen.
 * Done and done. No conflict between FIA and NUSA, but indeed between Reed and So Mi. The one betraying the NUSA is So Mi. Hansen was targeted during So Mi's rescue just for having had tried to kill Myers.


 * The ending will be unlocked by keeping Songbird alive. Many variants to be this simple. - Or maybe not.
 * 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. - Not in the same way, but she did indeed betray you.

2079

 * Arasaka loses power in NC.
 * Zetatech, Militech and Night Corp gain power in NC.
 * Militech is testing the waters to incorporate a new corporate cybersquad in NC due to MaxTac's ineffectiveness after the increase of cyberpsychos.

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.

Below there is cut content from the original game files (prior to 1.04):
 * Mr. Hands
 * Gig: Newcomer's Haven
 * Newcomer's Haven, Combat Zone
 * Anthony Anderson
 * Scavengers
 * Gig: ???
 * Unnamed motel
 * Wagner
 * Gig: ???
 * Unnamed warehouse
 * Kayla Moseki
 * Combat Zone
 * Some kind of death tournament

Below there is a leak: Total of 6 side quests + 7 main quests. V gets into the Pacifica Combat Zone. Hands contacts V after accessing the Zone, mentioning their past works and how V completed them. At some point V meets Hands in person. V goes to Haven, a church with some Scavengers, a priest, and Anthony Anderson. (Gig) V is tasked to find a a corpo-related individual called Sonia. She is seemingly pregnant with a clone of Alt. Johnny is pissed off. Mr. Hands gives V a few new gigs. V is sent to kill Wagner, who tells them they are being used by Kurtz. Wagner has a clone from some time ago. Kurtz is found in Paradise Hotel. He has a militia. Likely to be the infamous "general." (Kurt/Krausser?) Hasan asks V if Kemal sent them. Kemal is his brother and has betrayed his sibling. (Gig) CRACKER is something important for Hasan. It's inside a shard. (Gig) A quest about a Sofia, her son, and someone called George. (Gig) At some point V goes into the Pacifica Stadium. Nele and V are arrested because an Agent thinks they are with Red Freedom. Biotechnica is involved in all this. V is accused of being a terrorist (this will be fun as Johnny is one). V is trying to prevent the bomb from going off. V fights the agents or gives them a shard. Of course Johnny has to joke about the whole bomb situation. Brings him memories, he says. Steven, Janet (Interpol) and the KGB General. (Gig) Steven sends V to a natural history museum. (Gig) Interpol vs. Soviets. (Gig) V's past choices are mentioned. (Gig) An Interpol agent has been missing for six months inside the Combat Zone. (Gig) More stories yada yada. Medias... Milko Alexis, Voodoo Boys, NetWatch Alan Noel. (Gig) Fiona (Gig) Spider Murphy is mentioned. Someone talking about Brooklynn and reminiscing about the old days. Blackhand? The famous Songbird is in the game. Mentions of the Unification War, NorCal and NUSA. Someone rearranges some corrupted data within V's Relic to help them. V's doomed either way. Myers and Kress are mentioned a lot. Do they appear? Myers IS around, confirmed xD. She works with V and Songbird. She used to be a Marine of some sort. It appears her AV crashes within the Zone. NUSA is very involved in this part of the story. Krausser seems to be a former NUSA soldier that became the warlord of the Combat Zone. V leaves the Combat Zone and goes back to NC while still working for Songbird and Myers accompanies them. Car chase. Songbird seems to be the one controlling the whole operation. STOPPING RIGHT HERE (at q302)! STORY IS TOO GOOD TO BE SPOILED THIS EARLY Expansion seems to add new options for the Devil ending. (Opinion: The current Arasaka ending differs too much from the other endings. Updating it could allow to shorten that difference, allowing less dev work for the players that have chosen that ending. Alternatively, instead of going into Mikoshi, V goes back to Earth and Songbird offers them a clone body. Who knows. I won't spoil myself it yet.) -->
