[May 2058] The Good The Bad and The Pretty (Prelude: Bailey)
"Oh, you haven't seen it? It's been all over the trids. Well, not here of course. News of a beautiful and deadly bodyguard saving the son of the ambassador of Tir Tairngire doesn't play well here in the Bay City. But up in Tir you have generated quite the buzz. Scrolling her PocSec, she stops holds the phone out to you. "They're calling you Nightshade."

Wet pavement shining under streetlights under a drone's eye view. The limo, stopped in the middle of the street with the remains of a Yamaha Rapier crushed beneath the front end. Injured rider lying on the pavement. A half dozen men, all in red leather and all dismounted from their bikes, surround the limo.
Marco and Eelwyn stand off to one side with two of the men. There is no sound save the hum of the rotors, but from the body language, it seems like a heated conversation. There you are, with Fae. He is on his PocSec standing near one of the bikers, all of you standing over the injured man.
The drone's camera picks up on the AR coding of your dress and a gossamer silver Gavanche logo floats ghostlike over the image just before shots ring out. Marco falls under the uzi spray. Eelwyn falls over him, shielding him with her body. Fae turns, shock on his face as a katana comes down taking off his arm. PocSec shattering glass and plastic on the street in a pool of blood...
The drone sinks low, catching your face in sharp relief. Are your eyes glowing? Bright emeralds in the night...
Combat!
(1) You have the drop ...err... had the drop ...they expected you to panic, not... do whatever it is you do...
(2) Where the rider lies injured, there was a heavy pistol...
(3) ...and a katana.
(4) Did you pick one of them up?
(5) Or did you do it all with your bare hands?
