Description
''Sometimes I wonder what it's like to work for Arasaka, y'know? Way I figure it, it's like playin' Russian roulette for a million eddies. Give it a spin, pull the trigger. You hear it click, you strike it rich, And if you don't, well... the mess is someone else's problem. So to recap - Abernathy is Jenkins' boss, Jenkins is your boss and he ordered you to off Abernathy, It's a classic damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. You kill her - you're fucked. You tell Abernathy - you're even more fucked. Why? Because for the past few years you've been batting for Jenkins' team, If you get the job done, and do it well, you might get o promotion, but forget sleeping at night, because who knows how soon you'll be in someone's crosshairs. Only proves the wide variety of opportunities Arasaka has to offer.''

Walkthrough
V starts out looking into the mirror while vomiting in the sink of a bathroom located in the Arasaka HQ Tower. Afterwards V is able to freely walk into their office and read emails located on the desk. Arthur Jenkins, V's boss, is upset that another corporate got the promotion he wanted. He tasks V to take out the opposition Susan Abernathy who had been stealing promotions within the network.

Arthur tells V to use underworld contacts to off her once and for all and gives V the eddies to pay for the work. Afterwards V gets into an Arasaka AV that takes the player to Lizzie's Bar in the Watson District. Landing on the roof V gets cornered by basketball players upset about the court being a landing pad for a corporate. V pushes them aside and talks to a member of the Mox gang in charge of the bar.

Getting inside V meets up with long time friend Jackie Welles as they try to formulate a plan to carry out V's orders. However, before getting a plan started Arasaka bursts into the Bar with Susan Abernathy leading the men. She learns of V's plan, strips them of their cyberware corporate powers, and fires V from the corporation. Jackie, being a friend, offers to help V get back on their feet. The mission ends leading into a montage of V and Jackie for the rest of the prologue.
