    Summary

    By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he's wrong.

    For Robert, that was V. For V, that was David. For David, that was dealing with the revelation that he now had a father in his life. Now had the man who was supposed to help raise him. Help him with his problems, and maybe extend the courtesy to his friends. So far, V had come through on most of that...albeit nearly eighteen years late. The man had given him and his mother improved places to live. Supplied him and his friends with plenty of gear and work to stay sharp.

    But David knew V has his own problems to deal with. Corporate beauracy. Shades of his past casting shadows on the present that threatened to take away everything he had worked to build. V hadn't shied away from his problems, and David wasn't about to let the favor go unreturned.

    Summary

    David Martinez earned his position in Arasaka Acadamy through sheer determination and an innate talent in medical and cybernetics. Bolstered by his mothers support, he always dreamed of becoming a Ripper-doc, of paying for him and his mom's life, of rising above the slums and the pain of Night City on the back of his own efforts.

    Now, with a dead mom, a spine implant with history of it's own, and nothing but his smarts and the favors owed him to truly rely on, he must carve his own path through Night City, finding allies, avoiding enemies, and earning a reputation all his own.

    David has to admit... he's never felt so Alive.

    Summary

    'Arasaka is amidst a power struggle following V's assault in Night City. The internal conflict leaves valued assets unprotected and prime for stealing. The most lucrative hidden behind Blackwall and a mega fortress of ICE.

    It's a job too enticing to turn down for a band of moon based Netrunners with experience navigating the other side.

    For Lucy, it's a way to put Arasaka down for good and to put to bed these visions of David on the Old Net.

    For David, it's a way to reunite and rebuild.'

    [[Discontinued until further notice]]

    Summary

    David Martinez was once an outcast student at Arasaka Academy, told that he would amount to nothing, that the corporate world would reject him. Through guile, cunning and not an insignificant amount of scheming and backstabbing, he climbed his way up the ranks of Arasaka's Counter-Intelligence division.

    One day, he finds himself with what appears to be a simple assignment; arranging the capture of a former Arasaka trainee, in hopes that the corporation can re-establish a rapport and open a path to bring back the trainee, a young woman known as 'Lucy', into the folds of the corporation once more.

    However, as David delves deeper into the woman's past, he begins to question whether he was told the whole truth, and as his feelings for Lucy grow, he wonders if he hadn't made a terrible mistake in bringing Lucy back to Arasaka...
