The Architect of Anarchy: A Cyberpunk Crafting Quest

I just binged this morning to catch up, and I need to say this. Chefs kisses. That 20+20 roll in the last update? It's like I creamed my pants but with my brain.

@Magoose you know what would be really funny? If Arasaka or someone tried to hack Senji since he hasn't improve his ICE yet. You know, as a joke.

I think we should think about mass producing some of our best weapons and armors to get some stocks to sell
(and get both clients and allies in NightCity
Oh, absolutely!

After we give Mr. Morgan Blackhand aka That Man his free gun. I barely know anything about this setting, and I know pissing him off is a terrible way to die.

I also want to send Johnny something, but I don't know what. Any ideas there?

Morgan Blackhand is the Solo of Solos, his handbook for Solos cut down Merc fatalities by at least thirty percent. He is the last word in merc circles, and the definition of trend setting.
 
Wonder if Senji can make something like a cyberbrain in ghost in the machine? So Alt can be like Makoto/Major?

Also kinda surprise Senji's mom didn't target Kenji.
 
I'm serious about Stella's netrunner armor though, because we probably aren't going to actually be able to lock Johnny outside the building whenever she's working, and we're screwed if he helps her like he helped alt. We need her to be 100% immune to poorly thought through pulling of plugs.
 
Senji becoming the go-to smith for the top mercenaries in Night City.
This could change everything.

But let's face it; there is a chance, however small, that Rogue, Santiago, Thompson, Johnny and others may attempt to control and/or restrict Senji, out of fear of him working for their rivals, competitors or enemies (I am not forgetting that in Canon, Johnny was a Militech asset whether he wants to admit it or not)

They may not know that he is the Ghost, but just the presumption that he is one of the Ghost's apparently very few contacts/buyers could be enough.

They may currently be working with him against Arasaka Corp, who is so evil and monstrous that it is doing its best to unite the whole city against it, but who knows how long that would last.

I'm now imagining Senji speaking (remotely or otherwise) to the Streetsmart Scavenger who tells him that trusting a mercenary, any mercenary, will just get him killed or abandoned.

Also, I suspect that one particular borough of Night City - the one currently under the protection of the Crusading Homeowner - may remain largely untouched by past, present and possibly future events elsewhere in the city.
The weapons and armor created by the Ghost may be a concern for them, as such weapons may one day find their way into the hands of the borough's enemies.
 
Didn't Rogue see him make the sword?
Made the sword yes.

They do not think however that he was skilled enough to make the armor.

And pulling back the curtains slightly:

No one we have worked with that isn't Stella or kenji or Malcolm believes we are the ghost.

They think we're probobly his apprentice or son.

Who is used as a go between for the ghosts clients for his own safety.

I'm now imagining senior executives of Arasaka Corp having a board meeting in which they discuss this enigmatic Ghost. The discussion turns to Masamune Senji, and one of the theories that is shared is that the Ghost is an enemy of Senji's parents and has poisoned their son against them, manipulated him into joining his side and betraying the Arasaka cause.
One of the executives then states that if this is true, then other youths in Night City may also be in danger from falling under the influence of this "monster", and that the Ghost must be found. Surely Senji's mother will do everything in her power to track the Ghost down, in order to save her son and heir from his evil and insidious influence.

They then talk about the Ghost's astonishing skill in smithing and crafting, and come to the conclusion that surely the Ghost must be Japanese, for no foreign barbarian could possibly be capable of surpassing Japanese craftsmanship (I'm cackling as I type this, considering that Senji is Japanese).

Does Morgan Blackhand have a preference for the gun type he wants
 
My thought was to give Morgan as big and bad of a hand cannon that he can comfortably handle with his famous prosthetic arm.

Maybe something resembling Robocop's Auto-9? Or the Smith & Wesson Model 500 revolver?
