Opt Out

Since Cyberpunk 2077 is still a newwww game I thought I'd just smash up an opt-out post for anybody who wants to avoid game spoilers!

Potential triggering subjects:

• Violence | As a merc, he's been in some highly violent situations before and may refer to them so warning for violence and in some cases death.

Potential triggering subjects with spoilers (please highlight to read):

• Terminal illness | V actually died from being shot in the head but was resurrected again by a biochip that he has slotted into one of the chipslots in his skull. Unfortunately this biochip contained a personality construct and the chip's sole job is to prepare the host body to make it more suitable for the incoming personality. This means that V's body sees his own personality as an enemy and he's slowly dying while trying to find some way to survive it.

Please just let me know down below if you'd prefer me not to tag you with V!

PSL NOTES finally wow

ok so what if the endgame au is that Arasaka never got rid of Johnny's body. Grayson was just parroting what smasher said but smasher lied. Was forced to lie. Idk. Corpo secrets bullshit. What if it's just been in some kind of cryo storage this whole time at the tower 🤔

Maybe they even installed a chipslot in him as some weird like... could use him as a tool/puppet for Some Reason. Dark shit where Johnny Silverhand becomes the puppet of a megacorp. So V just has to jam the relic in there. I mean V'd still die but I'm sure we can come up with a way of somehow fixing that 😂

Tbf at some point V could have had his engrams stored somehow. *Somewhere*. Maybe Alt did it idek. But maybe the answer is legit just as simple as... V just needs a chip slotted into his head too with his own shit on it

 Ok so... Johnny somehow gets V's digitised everything and has to store it in *his* head until it can be put on a chip. How's that for a fun reversal. And maybe the difference is their personalities already kinda blended so rather than V trying to wipe Johnny, he's just sorta there until he's put on a chip and slotted into his chipslot 😂😂😂

And for maximum trauma, maybe it takes V a little while to flicker into existence so Johnny has no idea if it's worked or not 👌

And then after V is back in his own body they can have their weird well I know we were trying to look for this outcome that whole time but feels weird

Man 100% I'm sure viktor would try to help too. V's body just on ice/life support the entire time as they try to figure it out 👀
