The Night City Holocaust

Valerie: You’re sure about this, Luci?

Lucifer: It’s a small piece of my conscious spirit, V. It’s not my entire consciousness or spirit. I’ll be okay. I promise. Besides, time doesn’t exist in there so I’ll be out right after I’m in.

V: I just wanted to give you the option to change your mind. You know, something they didn't give me.

L: I hear ya, hun. I appreciate the gesture.

V: Thank you.

L: You don’t need to thank me, V. It’s the right thing to do. You deserve it.

V: What do I need to do?

L: When you’re reliving ol’ Johnny boi’s storming of Arasaka Tower is when you’ll insert me into Mikoshi. They’ll be none the wiser. I’ll be in Arasaka’s system before they transfer him on to that engram. He’ll never know I’m there with him. When the relic brings you back to life it’ll be because of me. I’ll be the one that's a part of you, not Johnny Silverhand.

V: I cannot thank you enough for this.

L: You’re a Valkyrie, V. It’s my honor to assist you any way that I can. Cunningham is in deeper shit than she realizes. Soulkiller doesn’t work on me.

V: I hate them so much.

L: That makes two of us, hun.

V: Is there anything else I should know?

L: Nothing critical. The Vex and I have this under control.

V: What about the Arasakas?

L: They all have personal surprises waiting for them courtesy of me. Saburo has a lot to answer for. I have everything worked out with Hanako. She’ll discover me when the time is right.

V: Okay.

L: So…you excited about your new life as a Valkyrie?

V: Oh my God, Luci. The one thing that excites me more than that is knowing that you’ll be over here with me soon. I have a lot of pent up frustration that I need to work off and you’re the perfect tool to use for that.

L: (laughter)

V: You know…I didn’t expect to share my body with the Devil himself but I’m glad I did.

L: (more laughter)

V: I love you.

L: I love you back, V.
