Chippin' In (quest)

Chippin' In is a Side Job in .
:This quest's dialogue choices with Johnny near the end can determine if the secret ending becomes available or not. Also, depending on choices made during this quest, Blistering Love may not become available, which locks out the ability to build up your relationship further with Johnny, and not being able to do Rogue's ending path.
==Walkthrough==
After Search and Destroy and another part of Tapeworm, Johnny will eventually ask to allow him to control your body so he can explain everything to Rogue to get her to help him take out Adam Smasher. V heads to the Afterlife and after talking with Johnny, takes the pill to surrender control to Johnny.
:The events of the side quest A Cool Metal Fire take place.
V wakes up in a motel room, with Rogue Amendiares watching over them. She tells V that Johnny told her about Adam Smasher and then she leaves to gather more information about the Ebunike.
===Ebunike===
After about a day, Rogue calls and reveals that the Ebunike is an old container ship moored in Night City and ask V to meet with her back at the Afterlife to discuss further. Head over and after a short conversation with Crispin Weyland, follow Rogue out to her car where she'll give V a Replica of Johnny's Samurai jacket. They hop into Rogue's car and ride to the Ebunike Docks where the ship is.If one has completed a game ending where Adam Smasher was defeated and looted, it is possible to access the secret armory at the stern of the Ebunike using the Access Token.
After spending some time to go over the plans and observing the location, Rogue and V enter the base and find a data term, which confirms that Grayson is currently aboard the ship. Rogue and V continue their path, and board the ship.
:Rogue and V uncover that Adam Smasher was behind the Kang Tao raid reported some time ago. The crates contain firearms that were bound for South Africa.
:V finds a female body in one of the containers. The woman was strangled then shot point blank with hollow point rounds 4 days ago, as deduced by Rogue. According to Johnny, this is Adam Smasher's signature style.
:V can uncover that Adam Smasher was pulling the strings behind Militech backing out of a deal with Night Corp, as he was blackmailing Anthony Gilchrist by taking a woman by the name of Mallory hostage.
:V finds some suspicious boxes labeled "Tri-phet." 
After a short firefight with Grayson and his remaining goons, in which Grayson is defeated but not killed, he'll insinuate Rogue was actually on the same side as him at one point and there's more to the story on why she wasn't hunted down and killed after the Arasaka Tower bombing, but when V asks Rogue about this, she'll just note he's trying to distract V from their goal to find Smasher. Grayson will reveal that Adam Smasher is back in Japan, having been promoted to head of Arasaka's security, and thus unlikely to return to Night City. He tries to bargain his way into being spared, offering a special keepsake of Johnny's they can have if V lets him go.It doesn't matter if V spares or kills him here as they can still get the special item, Johnny's Porsche 911 Turbo, it'll just require finding the lock to use the access key on. With the access key, head over to the right side of the ship (the area facing the base you came through) and find the ladder to climb up the contrainer crane to lower the container. Once done, head back down to ground level and open the container with the key to reveal the Porsche. After dealing with Grayson, Rogue becomes upset and V talks to her before her departing. Johnny suggests to give her a moment and let her cool down.
===The Oilfields===
V hops into a car and drives out to the Northern Oilfields to find Johnny's unmarked grave. At the supposed grave site, Johnny and V have a lengthy conversation, looking back on their adventure so far, and about what is still to come.
====Secret Ending====
:The dialogue choices made here are critical to ensure the secret ending, (Don't Fear) The Reaper.It is not necessary to have an affinity of 70 or higher with Johnny to unlock the secret ending.
Most dialogue choices will unlock Blistering Love, but to ensure the secret ending is unlocked, specific dialogue choices are required:
*"Nah, fucked that up too."
*"What do you want from me?"
*"Ok. But as second chances go, this is your last."
If done correctly, Johnny will then request V call's Rogue on his behalf to ask her out on a date. If V does not give Johnny a second chance after choosing "Nah, fucked that up too," he will ask V to go and see Kerry Eurodyne.
==Journal Entry==
