Thanks, that is really the goal.

Ok, I bet you are all loving the courier missions. But how about making some real cash? I already sent Priss on a "real" mission, and just called her back to the Silk n Dolls. While she was returning, I sent Nene out to do a courier mission. She just returned successfully, and is greeting Priss:
Yes, this is another way of changing characters. Off-camera, she takes off her hardsuit by walking into the "O" above. Those 4 letters on the Northern Wall of the Silk N Dolls are the hardsuits, which is what makes this mercenary company a "heavy weapons" outfit. "H" means the hardsuit is waiting for the girl to wear. "O" means the girl is already wearing their hardsuit, and allows the girl to take off the hardsuit. It is important for the girls to take off the hardsuits for certain missions, especially courier missions. Like anyone else, the characters of this game usually panic if you approach them with a hardsuit on.
Now, I promised "Real Money, Real Missions" right? Now we deliver! We have Priss walk into one of the "C"s on the right wall of the silk n dolls. Those are computers. I chose the bottom one simply so the dialog would not hide Priss and the computer, but all three computers in the silk n dolls do the same thing.
We'll chose the option that accesses the mercenary forum. After all, we're mercenaries, not delivery girls!
Ah, a job for a "competent mercenary". We're competent mercenaries, right? Of course we are! So we accept, and call the client. Remember THE PHONE IS YOUR FRIEND!
That new contact is the person from the forum. Let's see what they want.
Yup, that's what mercenaries do. They kill people. You ARE a real mercenary right? If not, go back to your courier tasks. But, we are real mercenaries, so we accept.
At this point, I forgot where we were suppose to find the target. So, by pressing "Ctrl" and "q", we access the following quest registry:
If your memory is as bad as mine, you'll be using ctrl-q a lot. Anyways, Apartment 12 is just north of the area with silk n dolls. After entering the building, we immediately realize this apartment complex is five stories tall. Do you want to search EVERY SINGLE ROOM in a five-story apartment complex? Of course not! So we go north to the "C", which is the resident registry. If we brought Nene (or anyone else if they learned "Hacking"), we could also use this computer to hack the steel door to the right of us, that is blocking the way.
Flipping through the floors, we discover the following:
The target is on the thrid floor! By the way, you need to check all floors in the registry. Just like in real life, sometimes different people have the same last name, and since we are only given the last name, you might have to check more than one floor. But in this case, there is only one person with our target's last name. Lets kill!
Wait a minute, why isn't that door to the right of us opening? Seems security is a bit tighter than we thought. We can not hack the door, as Priss does not know how to do that. So why did I chose Priss? Oh, her hardsuit has a particle gun equipped. We could give this particle gun to anyone, but since it started on Priss's hardsuit, I thought I would let her get the kill. First, we aim at the door by pressing "f", then moving the cursor to the door:
Press 'f' again to fire. Actually, any key will trigger an aimed weapon to fire, so be carful!
Boom! Down goes the door! Travel right until you get to another room like below:
Again, move into the "C", and you get a list of floors. We want the third floor. We leave the elevator to the left, and start searching the rooms.
"Found You! Die M@therf*cka!"
We complete the mission by pressing "f" and aiming at the red "p". Press "f" or anything else to FIRE!
We killed him, and are not sticking around! Run way! We flee back to the elevator, go to the ground/first floor, then leave the elevator to the left. But then, we hear something:
OH NO, the POLICE! FLEE! But, they are waiting for us as we leave the apartment building:
They ask us to surrender. Should we submit to the police and give up our noble mission to defeat the boomer threat, a mission the police are nearly powerless to solve? Reread the bio of Priss above if you have any hesitation as to what she would do. We tell them where to stick their surrender, and flee.
After fleeing from the police and taking no damage from their bullets, we call our client again. The client pays us 10000 credits for the mission, and since Priss has already done one of these, she levels up! Press "shift' and "g" to access the skill menu:
I increased Priss's marksmanship (ability to engage in ranged combat) to two, and gave her one skillpoint in dodge, so hopefully she will take less hits in combat. Now, let's see how Priss relates to the world:
You'll notice that anything the girls do in hardsuits is attributed to the Knight Sabers and not the girls, as nobody can tell that it was Priss that killed two people (one while I was playing before this update) but simply attribute this to the Knight Sabers. The police are noticably upset. Citizens also are upset at the killings. But Priss, the famous rockstar of Tokyo, is loved by the citizens!
Now, to finsh this update, I will explain the map. See, Tokyo is really only made up of two regions. Each region contains several areas with the various buildings in the game, and you do not need to travel on the highway to travel between the various areas of a single region. Once you know how to travel between regions on the highway, everything else falls into place.
We start by travelling north from Apartment 12, and traveling right.
Next, we continue until we get to a fork, where we turn right.
Continue until getting to another fork, where we go left.
You are now in the other region of the game. Simply reverse it to get home.
You now know how to do everything except design hardsuits, kill boomers, and recover salvage. But it will take 14 game hours to get armor for your hardsuits, and LordBucket is trying to fix the salvage bug. Without armor and fixed salvage, boomer combat is not as much fun.
Rack up the murders!
