I let out a breath and I saw a cloud of fog. The first real sign that the weather was turning. There had been a chill in the air for the last few weeks, but it receded as the sun rose.

2023-01-10 15:57:00 +0000 UTC View PostI squeezed the trigger, the gun bucking in my hand as the bullet bounced off a sharply angled wall, striking the ground, and still ripped through the kneecap of a man that was taking cover behind a concrete barricade. I heard him cry out, but through a camera, I saw him fall to the ground, clutch...
2023-01-09 15:50:29 +0000 UTC View PostMy location was near perfect. Pacifica was the worst part of Night City according to anyone, enough so that the Mayor of Night City was doing everything short of sawing the district off of the city and shoving it in the ocean to get rid of it. It was sparsely populated, especially in comparison t...

The district of the city was, by any measure, an absolute mixed bag of what you would find almost street by street.

2023-01-09 15:50:22 +0000 UTC View Post“Thank you,” Elissa told me after the meeting was done and the sky was darkening once again. The camp was in a tizzy with preparing the finishing touches for the battle to become. From pits to barricades, all to blunten the darkspawns’ charge. I made my own arrangements -- speaking to the R...
2023-01-06 15:52:10 +0000 UTC View PostThere were many types of fear, and over the course of my life I had become familiar with most of them.

2023-01-06 15:52:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe charge was absolutely devastating. There was simply no other word that could hope to convey the effect that the cavalry charge had on the unprepared back of the army.
