	+ node from computer:

After we went through the archway at the first tower we found ourselves on a street in a setting of Cyberpunk2077 (see [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberpunk\_2077] (external link)).

>
> You find a road that stretches north and south. In front of you is a billboard talking about some "New American Autoworks".
>
>
> Cactus surround you, though there is some sort of bus stop next to you.
>
>
>

## Check inventory and bus schedule

>
> You have the same items as you previously had before. The bus stop has a complete schedule, simply say the name of your destination, and if there's a path to it, you should be able to find a bus there.
>
>
>

## Take bus to Corpo Plaza

>
> It is a fast travel on the bus, and you arrive at Corpo Plaza.
>
>
>

## Cast 'Detect Magic'

>
> You attempt to cast detect magic, however the area is large enough you are unable to pinpoint anything particular and don't immediately see signs of a key fragment. You consider if there's a particular part of this Plaza you should look at.
>
>
>

## Goto Arasaka Tower and enter

>
> It takes you a little bit, but you make it to the basement and find a glass walkway.

// Note: From Cyberpunk2077:Tarot Graffiti 17: The Tower (Corpo Plaza)The Tower can be found in the basement of the ruined Arasaka Tower. You need to enter the glass walkway to find this graffiti. Once you are on the walkway look for it on the wall. Use your scanner to collect The Tower Tarot card.//

## Cast 'Detect Magic' and look for graffiti

>
> Beyond the glass wall to your left, you detect a faint aura of magic. There is graffiti here and at its base you see a key fragment.

## Return to bus stop

>
> It takes you a bit, but you make it back to the archway.
>
>
> Out of nowhere, something strikes you on the head.
>
>
> You awaken to find yourself tied up.
>
>
> You see a figure in a trenchcoat pacing while talking to themselves.
>
>
> The archway lies behind you.
>
>
> Your bag is resting a few feet away.
>
>
>

## Say 'Hi'

>
> The person briefly glances at you, but continues pacing and talking into the air.
>
>
>

## Listen

>
> You overhear fragments:
>
>
> "…followed them from the Tower…"
>
>
> "…they stole something from the…"
>
>
> "…use them as a message or just do it quickly…"
>
>
> "…know a ripper that can use the spare parts…"
