Time to patch up yourself up and, well, reequip all of your gear before leaving...
Time passes...
------
You're on your way over to the agreed meeting spot that your Handler arranged on your behalf - A recently constructed Q-Corp office building down in G-Corp's district - Specifically, one that's VERY close to the location of the Spook Base.
Its opening was temporarily paused to the Head Meeting and the District Explosion so it's free for you and your 20~ associates to hang out in.
Most of the calls were pretty quick and cordial but you had to really take your time talking Frank into this. You can only hope Anderson made his equipment good enough that you don't have to give him anything.
You mentally ruminate over how much this is going to earn you beyond personal satisfaction
>MISSION REWARDS: Estimated to be $50000 in loot, cash and spare materials. Obviously risky but-
Excellent.
You pull your car up towards the back of the office building. You loaded all of the shit you bought back into it so, hey, that's less work for your anomalous pockets to deal.
You aren't given even two seconds before you stumble into one of your allies. A young man in matte black tactical gear and an older man with a light violet suit and tie. Ah! Maruyama and Frank! You didn't expect those two to be meeting you first.
Maruyama tips his old hat towards you, "Long time no see! So! There's quite a pickle that might need to be resolved."
"Every faggot, tranny and nigger back there is arguing over something." How polite, Frank. "Guess that ol' burnt hag of yours is tryin' to organize who goes where and it's all fallin' apart."
Maruyama chastises the young man. "Saying random slurs doesn't make you look cool, Frank. You're trying too hard."
"Uh huh, jap." How cordial, Frank. Guess you remember why you didn't hire him that often.
You quickly scan his equipment to see how it upgraded.
FRANK EQUIPMENT UPGRADES
>ETF UNIFORM now blocks 2 FLESH and RESTRAINT damage and boosts max FLESH + RESTRAINT by 2!
>STANDARD ETF SHOTGUN now has a high chance of stunning enemies on hit! STANDARD ETF SIDEARM now rolls 2.5 successes on 6 and 7s!
>STANDARD ETF KNIFE now rolls VIOLENCE+4 and always inflicts a random CRIPPLING INJURY on hit!
Excellent. "Well, we should probably get that settled. Here." You stuff the CRYSTALLINE SUIT AND TIE and SILVER TRILBY into Maruyama's hands. "Put this on. Got it just for you."
He tilts his head at the odd clothes but he shrugs, deciding to go along with it. "Sure can do. Follow us."
You let yourself be escorted by the two. Hopefully it's not as bad as you think it is.

"Why the FUCK would I want to work with that thing?!" Wendy cries out. "He's clearly an anomaly! I have tolerated dealing with Nicole and her BULLSHIT before but-"
"DO YOU THINK I LIKE YOU EITHER, HYPOCRITICAL WENCH?" Benedict points his armblade at Wendy.
"T-that thing scares me!" "I'm just a robot!" Dasha is clearly having a fit over Kiara's presence
