What… The… Fuck.
It was morning, and the bedroom was brightly lit. The hum of the air conditioner was audible, and Cypher was awake.
But he stayed unmoved, just eyes open, staring at the dusty ceiling. He was still sore, his cock finally flaccid, and refused to get hard even as Misty, equally nude as him, slept by his side, her supple, soft body hugging him sweetly, her face close to his ear, her breasts smushed on him, one knee over him.
Misty's sweet, kind face flashed in his mind, and then followed the unholy positions he'd done her in, and the filthy things that had co out of her mouth. He didn't dislike it; hell, he fucking loved it. He got to see an entirely different side of her.
And honestly, he did do her a lot last night. After the bed, he had her against the wall, even on the floor. Gave her what she wanted, the sex that also stung a bit here and there. A dangerous ga.
So… Are we dating now?
He had no clue about that. He wasn't against the idea; he liked Misty. But at the sa ti, knowing what was going on between Judy and him, it could cause issues. He knew that things wouldn't go far with Judy. Nothing beyond cuddling together. But would that be cheating? He did like doing that with Judy; it was calming. And he reckoned Judy felt the sa.
The real question was what Misty would do.
Ugh… Let's cross that bridge when I reach it.
He moved his head and looked down at her, a curvy, delicious body. This was so unexpected for him. Impossible to imagine she hid this side of her so well.
"Ummh…"
As he moved, Misty seed to wake up. The first thing she did was smile and then peck his lips.
"Good morning, Cyph."
He kissed back again. "Morning. I'll take a bath and make sothing to eat. You relax. I did get a bit too hard near the end."
Cypher felt, no, he heard Musty gulp. Yeah, she passed out near the end. But she didn't seem all that bothered by it.
"That was the best night of my life," she whispered and kissed his cheek this ti.
Yeah, I think we're dating now.
He got out of bed and took a quick shower. By the ti he cooked sothing, Misty was out as well, bathed and dressed up. However, her stocking was a bit torn now. She didn't seem to mind, all smiles and cheerful as she sat with him and ate.
"You sure you wanna head back? You're welco to crash here as long as you want." Cypher offered, genuinely liking her company.
Misty shook her head, her ssy hair tousled, a faint blush on her cheeks. "I should go open my shop and… I don't think I have it in for another night."
Did she just call a sex fiend indirectly? Hah.
He laughed under his breath. "Alright, yeah. I'll probably be back tomorrow or maybe the day after. Got so renovations to knock out here, plus a couple of personal projects I need to ss with."
"Personal projects?"
"I'll show you when I'm finished with them."
Right now, he wasn't sure yet. Judy knew about the blasters and his tech skills. But what he was about to make was truly sci-fi. For now, the fewer people who knew, the better it was for everyone's safety.
After breakfast, Misty didn't spend much ti there. She kissed him one last ti and headed out since she had a pretty long ride ahead.
Finally alone, Cypher locked himself inside and opened the cardboard boxes, taking everything out one by one. The very first thing he did was connect all the parts of the miniature Leaper that he had made.
In the open space of the living room, he assembled all the legs and finally used the wires to connect the Leaper Pulse Unit and the Advanced ARC Powercell. He waited a few seconds for the whole thing to boot up and…
"There it is!"
Finally, a round red ring appeared at the center of the Leaper's fra. It held all its sensors, and it was also one of its weakest parts. It also moved, but in a limited way because the wires restricted it. But it did move as intended.
"Yes! Yes! The itch's gone!"
The risky experint had worked. This was proof that he didn't need to make everything at scale. And still, he felt his knowledge had increased. Mainly in robotics and related fields. Already, he could plan upgrades for that Leaper in a way that would work.
Finally, that left just one itch remaining, and this one was the most complex. Already, he'd ordered a lot of items in bulk from the shop he usually bought hardware from. Since he already knew the owner, he ordered everything to be delivered to the Lake Farm.
"Better get to it."

Corpo Plaza, Militech Offices,
redith Stout fixed her Militech office uniform, easing the wrinkles of her skirt as she prepared to enter the office of the director of the special projects division. She'd never seen him before, but she'd heard enough that he was one of those crazy-scientist sorts.
Being one of the many operations managers, a particular request had reached her desk from the senior operations manager, her boss, and the position she was eyeing for herself. The request ca directly from the director, who was in a pretty high executive position. One that even her boss feared angering.
"The director will see you now, Agent Stout."
She gave a firm, stoic nod to the director's secretary and prepared herself. Once the door slid open, she walked in like a soldier, eyes focused in just one direction, never taking any chances of seeing sothing she wasn't ant to.
What is all this?
She tried not to look, but there was sothing everywhere. Machines, gadgets, strange fluid containers with bio matter inside, placed on the wall like decorations. One even had a human fetus inside it.
The office was large; it belonged to a director. But it felt cramped because there was just so much around there. But she remained focused and reported in front of the modest steel table of the director. She gave a salute; she was told to do that because the director was from the NUSA Army. Militech was a company, but it was also more or less the de facto military force of NUSA.
"Director Goldstein, the investigative report you asked for is complete."
Goldstein?
redith read the old man's face. The man's last na, Goldstein, held a lot of aning to Militech. It belonged to one of the original investors of Armatech, the progenitor of Militech.
Is he related?
In redith's mind, it was all about fighting for more. Every mont of her professional life was spent on furthering her own position. And if this man was indeed related to the original investor, then being close to him mattered a lot.
"Huh? What? Ah, the file on Obsidian? Brief . I've no ti to read pointless reports."
Impatient, focused, and not in a good mood.
redith read the room. The old man, looking old despite modern options available, was balding with baggy eyes. But not once did he look up at her. He was busy writing sothing, a chemical formula, from what she recognised.
"Copy that, sir. Obsidian Inc., a new company, registered less than a week ago. Owned by a nomad called Cypher Blackwell, male, white, mid-twenties. Recently tangled in gang violence in Japantown, killed ten Wraiths and two Tyger Claws. Stayed clear of Night City until last month, then started moving adult braindances for Lizzie's Bar, Kabuki…"
"Who cares about all that nonsense! Read the main part!"
The main part?
redith frowned for a mont and looked at the report. All of this was the 'main part' to her. If anything, this Cypher Blackwell was a capable man, worthy of being scouted by Militech recruiters. He killed nine Wraiths singlehandedly and won that race as well. Ignoring his troubleso past and employnt with Lizzie's, the man was a diamond in the rough.
And he was also a techie, working from a ripperdoc's shop right now. She instantly realised what this 'main part' was, especially for the director.
"Obsidian Incorporated is pushing four items as their core stack. First is a heatsink." She had no direct hand in the report, so the depth of detail caught her off guard. That alone flagged how much weight the director put on this slice, and she leaned in. "The departnt ran the math. Eight percent improvent over the compact heatsinks Militech fields today. The second item is a coolant. This one is thirteen percent above our current line. Servomotors track the sa. Five percent edge overall, but durability jumps close to… twenty percent. And finally…"
She took a brief pause when she read the last offering.
How did this company go from offering high-end chanical parts to a condom?
"Finally. The company is offering a product called Quantum Condom. Description says it is a nanotech, mass producible spray. You apply it to the male reproductive organ. It blocks unwanted pregnancies and diseases, one hundred percent. The relevant departnt could not assess it. No patent on record. The website lists it as for sale."
Clap!
"Genius!" Director Goldstein exclaid, clapping his old hands, finally looking up. "That's what a genius in the rough looks like. We're working on a new Cerberus…"
As soon as redith heard that, her pupils shook.
