Cyberpunk: Cross-dimensional Science and Engineering Chapter 984 - 29: Arasaka Yorinobu’s Assignment

The Terrorist Mobile Team, the last line of defense in Night City.

Although structurally similar to the NCPD, they essentially do not follow City Hall commands, as all operatives uniformly obey the orders of their commander, Max Hamrman.

Most of the ti, the NCPD’s ard force is sufficient to deal with city incidents: after all, the NCPD includes units like the Arasaka Combat cha, city ard helicopters, and land combat armored vehicles, which can all serve as military-grade light units.

However, in a chaotic city like Night City, gangs often manage to obtain weapons with unimaginable specifications, and there are also a myriad of rcenaries and cyberpsychosis with unimaginable combat capabilities. It’s wishful thinking to expect the understaffed NCPD to control the situation promptly...

At such tis, the Terrorist Mobile Team would take off from the command center in a floating car and swiftly eliminate criminals or those with cyberpsychosis.

Almost all cities that are properly functioning have such a setup, each with its own combat thods. Night City’s Terrorist Mobile Team opts for the implantation of prosthetics beyond ordinary scale, paired with highly dangerous special weapons to solve problems—

With the tiless policy of the Terrorist Mobile Team accepting whatever equipnt, this attitude attracts many companies to "invest," or more accurately, to shove unverified safe items into this team.

As a result, companies gain experintal data, and the Terrorist Mobile Team acquires the power to crush cyberpsychosis and terrorists, ensuring that this city...

At the very least won’t collapse due to violence.

Fifty years ago, after the nuclear explosion at Arasaka Tower, this city lived under the shadow of the blast. It was the Terrorist Mobile Team that maintained the final line and stood their ground for over fifty years afterward...

Unfortunately, there were many things they couldn’t guard against, like the assassination of Ryan, the brainwashing of Perares, and corporate control over the political and legal realms...

The reorganized Terrorist Mobile Team is subordinate to the NCPD and has the authority to enforce illegal cases, but "illegal" is a defined term in itself.

Currently, the law is defined by Lille.

This Mackinaw Floating Shadow was modified into a city-ard floating car, with an interior space that is not luxurious. On the contrary, it left interfaces to accommodate various heavy weapons, with an extrely rugged style.

Max Hamrman, the chief captain and commander of the Terrorist Mobile Team, sat across from Lille with his arms folded—

But he felt imnse pressure.

The Terrorist Mobile Team originally recruited newcors from the elite police of the NCPD, but as the NCPD privatized, cost control led to significant cuts in the police force. The number of new recruits he could absorb was minimal, coupled with cost control spawning a series of strategies using the team for corporate experints, the Terrorist Mobile Team began recruiting from those with cyberpsychosis...

He had seen countless individuals with cyberpsychosis, and only those with incredibly impressive combat abilities and potential caught his eye.

Those who impressed him, after being sent to Los Pardis Labor Camp for "education," all beca compliant, turning into "beneficial to society" law enforcers...

Those feared individuals with cyberpsychosis were nothing in his eyes. The few exceptional ones were rely "remarkable talents," even for a character like Adam Hamr, he would just marvel at Arasaka’s willingness to spend.

But Lille... he found Lille’s state hard to comprehend: at least Adam Hamr had half a brain given by his mom, but Lille...

Rumor had it that he exploded with the nuclear bomb, so what could possibly remain in that situation?!

In his mory, Lille was a thin figure, a terrifying criminal at the pinnacle of networking and engineering, completely different from the tal hulk that resembled a beefy bull before him!

He even heard so large cooling system hidden under the cloak, and as the floating car activated, the temperature in the car noticeably changed.

What kind of high-power prosthesis would require such a level of cooling?

"...Quite the aura, I didn’t expect not stopping you once would lead to this."

Hamrman broke the silence; he couldn’t stand the silence anymore.

Lille cut to the chase: "The Terrorist Mobile Team must be restructured. I want to take over the Los Pardis Labor Camp."

"You..."

"I have many plans for extre troop structures on hand. I want an elite unit to help execute special operations in other cities."

In just a few words, Hamrman’s brows furrowed into a deep frown:

He was an honest person, or at least soone who stayed true to his original intent, which from the start was to suppress violent cri.

During the toughest tis, he led the Terrorist Mobile Team to take any contracts to maintain order. As long as soone called the police, they would respond....

The Terrorist Mobile Team was indeed formidable, but that was only in Night City. Maintaining order within the city was their trump card.

He never considered taking them to war!

"I’m sorry, I don’t understand, you’re saying, let people with ntal disorders go to war, that sounds inhumane..."

Lille shook his head coldly: "Letting those with ntal disorders beco police isn’t humane either. If they can be regulated by the labor camp and transford into qualified law enforcers, they can be remade into qualified warriors.

You think they should atone for disrupting the city’s order, so I’m now deciding to change their way of atonent.

Also... I believe you know well, in this city, there are many cyberpsychosis individuals and corporate grudges, how does the Los Pardis Correctional Institute manage to return them obediently to the streets, to attack those who were once common people like them."

Hamrman’s brows remained tightly furrowed: "City Hall won’t interfere with the Terrorist Mobile Team, this is..."

"This is law? Then I’ll be direct, I’m here right now, I can make a phone call to have the council and the law imdiately.

Theoretically speaking, this is illegal behavior, so either you have your team co over and kill right now, or... cooperate obediently."

Blatant threat—

Seeing this scene would likely cause jaws to drop among other Night City residents: the city’s most insane cop, one of the most terrifying street legends, the Terrorist Mobile Team was threatened...

Although Lille hadn’t moved, his tone unchanged, eyes eternally indifferent—more precisely, he was wearing a mask. It looked like a mask, the eye sockets of which only emitted a faint glow, making it hard to determine if they were human eyes.

No obvious change, but Hamrman grew tense: he realized Lille needed no other gestures to bluff...

Because what he said was true, if he failed to cooperate, this lunatic would imdiately launch an attack on the Terrorist Mobile Team.

Crazy.

"...But I won’t command, I’m a cop, I’d rather retire."

Hamrman slightly shifted his gaze to the Night City outside the window—

Today’s Night City was no longer the battered ship anyone could board; over two years, besides V and Jack launching corporate purges, there were no major incidents requiring the Terrorist Mobile Team to be deployed...

In a sense, the reconfigured NCPD mixed with gang mbers and those recklessly fearless rcenaries, was even more efficient than the Terrorist Mobile Team.

Perhaps it’s ti to retire?

Lille nodded slightly: "It doesn’t matter, you can continue to command the city’s ard police. Since you’re cooperating with us, the Terrorist Mobile Team’s structure can remain, just like fifty years ago, selecting elite officers from the NCPD for law enforcent missions.

Plus, I’ll modify so enforcent regulations... to ensure your force is utilized in more areas, your integrity will have a better use."

"Integrity?" Hamrman smiled with interest, "First ti soone’s described that way, you’re planning to let..."

Hamrman wanted to inquire who would take over as the chief captain of this special task force. He first thought of V and Jack but quickly realized Lille might not want to do that...

He suddenly realized why Arasaka Yorinobu was in the car.

Yorinobu realized it too.

"Arasaka Yorinobu, I intend for you to handle this—get ready to et your future subordinates."
