Cat People

## Summary

The edgerunners were hired by Danger Gal to tail a rogue agent code-named "Atomic Blonde", find out who she was meeting with, what she was doing, and make sure she didn't get herself killed.

They staked out the Hotel Yamagumi where she was staying. Sure enough she left at about 11:30 pm, driving a black Porsche 911. They followed her through the Old Combat Zone to a walled-off border checkpoint heading into South Night City. Russel discovered through a quick library search that South Night City had built a big wall separating itself from the old combat zone to prevent booster gangers from infiltrating into SNC. The old combat zone side of the wall was covered in psychedelic graffiti and fireworks were going off in SNC to celebrate six months of occupation by the new SNC government. Russel decided this was an excellent time to take blue glass.

An SNC police officer approached the parked Porsche and asked Atomic Blonde for her documentation. The edgerunners watched as she handed it over but something seemed to go wrong. She was asked to get out of the car while he radioed for backup. Another police officer opened the front trunk of the Porsche and stumbled back, shocked at whatever he saw. Atomic Blonde turned to look at the edgerunners, pulled the turtleneck of her dress up over her face, and attacked one of the cops.

The edgerunners raced up to help her and found herself in a firefight with four cops, four sheriffs, and two zone marshals manning the checkpoint. Aided with a timely speedheal from Nitya, Atomic Blonde smashed her way into a checkpoint building and pulled out a man who had been undergoing torture. She helped him back to her Porsche, getting riddled with bullets the whole way.

Meanwhile the edgerunners provided her cover fire and cover sword and cover pipe. Mr K's car was destroyed but he and Pedro were able to pile into Mimir's combat cab. General got into her own limousine with her driver. Atomic Blonde blasted through the checkpoint in her porsche and escaped into SNC. The other edgerunners wisely decided not to push their luck and withdrew into the old combat zone. They were not pursued.

Atomic Blonde lost the Zone Marshals who tried to chase on their superbikes. Nitya and Brigitte, who were in the Porsche with her, witnessed her pull up to a walled complex and stop the Porsche. She dragged bodybags out of her trunk and threw them over the compound wall. Then she put a boombox on the wall and played "99 Luftballoons". That alerted the compound's security. Soldiers came running out as spotlights ignited, but Atomic Blonde was already driving away.

Nitya questioned Atomic Blonde on her way back to Hotel Yamagumi and found out that, apparently, she was in Night City looking for her daughter. Atomic Blonde found Brigitte sexy and invited her up to her hotel room for the night. Brigitte agreed. Atomic Blonde took an ice bath in her hotel bathtub while Brigitte stabilized her and fixed her broken ribs before fading to black.

The edgerunners returned to Princess Caroline at Danger Gal to report their findings. Princess Caroline payed them their promised fee but not a penny more, telling them that if they want free drugs and booze and NCH vouchers the should go work for those Night City Vice jokers.
