Night City, 2025 AD. NorCal, U.S.A. 02:30 HRS

LOOK UP...

...and you can see the red pulse of an AV marker as it slides across the night sky. Downtown - towards the Corporate Sectors and the huge highstacks where the money lives. The parties, the payoffs. That's where it's at.

LOOK AROUND...

... and you can see the flickering orange glow of a street blaze two blocks away. The Combat Zone - the wail of sirens and the distant rattle of automatic weapons. The battles, the blood. It's all you've got.

LOOK DOWN...

... and you can see the faint glow of a light tattoo on a dead arm. The Street - killing just to stay alive and anything to get ahead. Puppets and psychos, friends as foes. You close your eyes and a message flashes across your new Kiroshii optics...

... LOOK OUT...
