Tonight was the night. I had taken a motel room just beyond Night City's limits. I got ready by investing what money I had left in better gear and cyberimplants. Failure was not an option. Before my shower, I contacted Panam to come and meet me, I knew her help in crossing the border would be essential to flee the area quietly. On the way out, I thought of Judy, of our embrace once this last job was over. Another good reason not to screw up. "Here already, Panam? You don't waste any time." "I was in the neighborhood and I couldn't miss you in a towel! What do you need?" "Your expertise on how to pass through the border fence. Without being noticed, of course." "Mmh, it can be done. Why do you need this favor anyway?" "I have a score to settle with Arasaka. That's why I have this military crate, to sneak into one of their warehouses." "And judging by the gear inside, you didn't skimp on the armored plating!" "This is my last job here, and then I'm off. And since I'm likely to be hunted by every corpos and mercenary in Night City, I need your help to get out." "Okay, I may have an idea. When do you plan to leave town?" "Once I've finished with Arasaka, if I'm still alive. When do you think you'll be ready?" "I'll need to double-check the route and get you a scrambler and a car. Let's meet at dawn, 6am. There's an abandoned lot behind the motel. I'll wait for you there, okay?" "Thanks Panam! We'll be square after this, and who knows, maybe we'll have a beer somewhere else!" "Yeah, that'd be nice! Be careful tonight, it would be a shame to ruin such a pretty body..." "Ah! Look who's checking me out now!" "Hey, you started it, Eleanor! Alright I was topless back then but you still stared at my huge boobs!" "Guilty as charged." What do you think? Nice gear, isn't it? Sometimes, Arasaka shipments end up on the black market, and when you know where to look... Well, you can find yourself in some serious corporate plates. It had started to rain for my last night in Night City. It was around midnight and I rode to the Arasaka Industrial Park, determined to accomplish my mission. I had the plan in mind, I had my path in mind, and I had Goro in my ears. Everything was going to work out for the best. Once ready and out of sight, I put on my balaclava and climbed over the barrier into Arasaka's factory area. Even though I was carrying a katana, I couldn't risk taking out anyone here, to avoid compromising the next stage of the plan. There was a hatch near the control tower. My direct entrance to the warehouse core. The maintenance tunnels reeked, explaining the absence of human guards within the system. Wearing my balaclava made it... bearable. I reached the warehouse, a huge area where Arasaka stocked its imported goods from other countries with a dozen guards patrolling the site. I was looking for an access terminal to find the AV routes, likely located deep inside. With my cyberimplant in my right eye, I pinpointed the location of the terminal I was after. I just had to keep playing hide-and-seek with Arasaka's security to get there. Judging by the increased number of armed patrols in the vicinity, I had reached the correct spot. Maybe the right side didn't require such care. I was right. After circling around, I jumped onto the scaffolding leading to the upper floor of the structure. Bingo, I had found the terminal. However, the guard was far too close, likely enough to hear me typing on it. Time for a quick diversion to get rid of him. I managed to lure the guard away by pirating an electronic machine to send him off. It took me just a few seconds to retrieve the data for the AVs, the exclusive destinations of high-ranking Arasaka members. Now I knew where Susan Abernathy was staying and I planned to pay her a visit. Goro set off a fake emergency in the warehouse courtyard. At the same time, it opened the emergency roof, the fastest way to get away without leaving a trace. I joined the drainage canal behind the Arasaka Industrial Park. My crime achieved, I didn't need my balaclava anymore and tossed it into a lit barrel. Now I just had to find Goro, parked nearby. "You've done a great job Victoria, what have you found?" "Susan Abernathy was dropped off at Arasaka Estate this evening. I'm heading there now. She dies tonight." "Agreed. I'll help. Wait for me before going in, I know the place." I rode to the Arasaka Estate in the North Oak hills. As far as I knew, close members of the Arasaka family lodged at this property when they stayed in Night City. I guess Susan Abernathy wanted to break those rules. Such a pity for her legacy. I had some time to kill before Takemura arrived, so I made a phone call to you-know-who, dear to my heart. "Hey Judy, my last gig's almost done, just a few loose ends to tie up. You mentioned a place near the lake where you used to hang out. Can we meet there early in the morning? I've got a couple of things to tell you, and I'd really like to spend some good, relaxing time together..." Goro showed up right after, ready to battle. He handed me an Oni mask and took a sniper rifle out of the van. "This is it Victoria, here's the plan: I'm going to take the hilltop and mark the guards outside. You'll climb the western wall and enter the compound. Eliminate the netrunner who controls security and deal with the forces inside. When you give me the signal, I'll make my move." No one from Arasaka was going to survive tonight. My determination pushed me on and I always kept my promises. Besides, training with bladed weapons had finally served a purpose in my former career. My first kill of the night was the netrunner. He was master of his own virtual world, but a mere human sitting in his seat in the real world. With him out of the way, I didn't have to worry about cameras and potential backup. I entered through a service door that led into the kitchen storeroom. If Arasaka's security protocol remained unaltered, Susan Abernathy had to be escorted by four armed guards. This meant getting rid of them before going after her. I hid behind a pillar, my target and her team in view. I was listening closely to the orders she gave them. "Good work for tonight. You know your posts, two downstairs, one upstairs, one in my room. You'll be relieved of your duties at dawn, once I've left." Susan Abernathy didn't have to worry, they'd be gone sooner than expected. That's one. Followed by two. Then three. Now I could enter Susan Abernathy's room and take care of her last guard before killing her. I entered the bedroom. The last guard stood in front of me, Susan Abernathy was sitting in the back, she should have said her prayers. "An assassin! You're dead, punk!" After a dash and a katana vertical strike, that made four. With no guards left, I could deal with my former boss. As I slowly approached, Susan Abernathy had dropped to her knees and was begging for her life. "Look, I don't know who hired you, but I'll double your fee! Please don't kill me!" Seeing her terrified made me smile. I thought of Arthur Jenkins, he would have been grateful from the afterlife. Time to finish the job. Just as I was about to end her, I received a massive taser shot from behind. I was so blinded by my revenge that I forgot the basics. I failed so badly, I could only blame myself. "Well, it looks like the assassin has been defeated. Good work, soldier." "What do you want me to do with her, ma'am?" "First, strip her down. I want to know who I'm dealing with. Then take her downstairs and handcuff her. I'll have a word with her before she's taken care of." "No one escapes Arasaka and, above all, me!"

A long time ago, there was a rich and powerful kingdom in the middle of the desert called Hadora. Legends tell that the roofs were made of gold and no citizen was hungry. One of the curiosities of this kingdom is that it did not appear on the maps. Many humans went into the desert to find it, but none succeeded. Except one. A thief escaped from prison. He entered the desert waiting for the guards to abandon the chase. A sandstorm caught him off guard, he hit his head with a rock and was knocked unconscious. The guards lost sight of him, but given the strength of the sandstorm, they left him for dead. When the thief awoke, he discovered that before him stood the mighty kingdom of Hadora. He walked as he could to the golden doors and asked the guards for shelter. The guards, impressed that someone managed to find the kingdom, brought him before the king. Once in the throne room, the king offered him a large quantity of food along with a luxurious table service. The king was very curious, so he asked his guest what life was like outside the kingdom. The thief told him incredible stories and took the opportunity to gain the monarch's trust. He could start a new life without anyone taking into account his past misdeeds. That same day, while they were having dinner, the thief saw from the window a very beautiful young woman walking through the palace gardens. She was an exotic beauty, with a dark complexion and clear eyes like water. Her hair seemed the same color as the night sky. The king, who had noticed that his guest had his head in the clouds, tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention. The thief smiled and continued with the conversation as if nothing happened, although he kept thinking about the young woman. After a night unable to sleep, the thief asked the king if he could call the palace maids. He needed to know who that girl was. The king, worried, thought that some of his maids had done something to displease him, so, as a reward, he let him choose the most beautiful maiden to spend the night. The thief, seeing that he would be rewarded, played along. But instead of one, he chose the 5 most beautiful maidens. A few days later, he was finally able to meet the beautiful lady he had seen in the garden. But it turned out that she was not a maiden, but the daughter of the king: Oasis. The thief, knowing that he could not approach her because of his position, decided to invent that he was a rich prince instead of a thief in order to convince the king to marry his daughter. He told him false stories for weeks, until finally, the thief asked the princess to marry him. The king, deceived from the beginning by the thief, decided to approve the marriage between his guest and his daughter, not knowing that it was all a lie. The wedding day has come. The streets of the kingdom were filled with petals and everyone was invited to the event. The ceremony ended and the feast finally came. The thief was now a prince and he was married to the most beautiful woman in the kingdom. He had it all... except the throne. He poured poison into the monarch's cup and waited for it to take effect. The scream of a servant was heard, and then the whole court and the guests began to run out of the palace shouting that the king had been assassinated. The king did not move, he stood still, sitting on his throne with his eyes wide open with blood, staring into space. The thief, now the legitimate king, ordered the guards to take Oasis to his room and prepare her for his honeymoon. He sent the maids to clean up all the mess and bury the dead monarch in some corner of the garden. Oasis was already in the royal room. Her dress had been removed and she had been wrapped in a thin layer of semi-transparent silk, easily revealing her entire body. The guards had locked her up and were awaiting the arrival of the new monarch. The princess couldn't stop crying. She understood that the man she had married was evil and her father had died because of him. Filled with anger and rage, she put on a maid dress and a cloak. She grabbed the luxurious sheets from the bed and made a rope with them to escape by the balcony. Oasis reached the ground safe and sound and began to run until she managed to escape from the kingdom. Disguised as a maid, she wandered disoriented through the desert. After many hours walking, in the distance she saw what looked like a merchant post. Oasis started running towards it with the little strength she had left. After a few meters, she cried out for help and fell to the ground, passing out. She woke up in a strange bed. Outside the small room, Oasis could hear people. Some drunk, others singing and others playing instruments. It looked like an inn. She left the room and the owner of the inn welcomed her. He told her that a merchant had found her unconscious and left her there, resting. Oasis wasn't able to thank the merchant that was long gone, but she could thank the owner of the inn. She worked as a waitress for a few weeks until she could pay him for the food and the room she had been using. After that, rumors started coming to town. A legendary hero known as Dragonborn had appeared in the province. Little was known about him, only that his combat skills were unmatched. Rumors also said that he was recruiting some mercenaries to go on a hunt for the dragons that had reappeared and were razing villages. Oasis thought it would be a good idea to enlist as a mercenary. She needed money and leave her past life behind, and whoever it was, that Dragonborn that everyone was talking about seemed to be her way out.

In my brotherhood there are many types of murderers. They all keep something in common: stealth. Some prefer spells and enchantments, others prefer costumes, others prefer a stealthy dagger, others, poison, and there are rarely any like me. We use charm and eloquence to get what we want from them. Someone hired me to kill Lurbuk the bard in Morthal. Apparently the guy, in addition to ugly, sang badly and drove away the clientele of the inn. I don't judge whoever hired me, I would have done the same. In the middle of the night I slipped into the bard's room. I leaned over his bed and began unbuttoning his pants. The orc had a deep sleep, but no dream could avoid the pleasure of having his member in my mouth. Although my method is not the cleanest, it is the most effective. When you leave them dry is when they are weaker. At least I granted him a pleasant death. For reasons beyond my understanding, I was selected to carry out a mission of extreme delicacy. I had to contact a client in a Nordic ruins. Astrid seemed very serious about it. I guess this time I will have to skip the fun and be strictly professional. The client was very well dressed. Too elegant for the site he had chosen for the contract. Normally, the nobles who hire me do not try so hard to hide their intentions and they summon me at their homes. This contract was a new challenge. I expected no less from a noble. The goal was difficult, but the reward seemed quite succulent. Despite Astrid's orders, I couldn't help but wish for such a powerful man inside me. He placed me in extremely erotic positions, and finally, he made his escort join the party. I had never felt so desired (and full). He told me that if I completed the quest at the end of the week, he would fill me with jewels and celebrate my victory with an orgy in his mansion. Well, you can imagine the end...

Skyrim Character - Female Imperial - Melissa Albius This is my Skyrim female Imperial, Melissa Albius. Melissa was born in Skyrim, hailing from The Rift to two Imperial parents. From a very young age, Melissa's parents were killed in an accident, causing Melissa to be orphaned. However, she would be taken to the so called Honorfall Orphanage where she would experience the kindness of one Grelod The Kind. Literally Yep. If someone asked Melissa Albius what growing up at Honorfall was like, she'd sarcastically tell you its a great place to grow up. But seriously, its a horrible place. The only kind person was a woman named Constance who was the headmistress' assistant. Anyways the long years would come and go and eventually near the end of her release as she was nearing eighteen, she became acquainted with Aventus Aretino for a very short time. Of course, it wasn't a very good day at the Honorfall Orphanage when that kid, Aventus managed to escape. Still, her own release when she became eighteen was nearing and despite the horrors of the real world just on the horizon, Melissa would be relieved to see her release happen. Eventually weeks pass and Melissa Albius is now an adult. Eighteen years old. Released from Honorfall Orphanage with just 50 gold to her name. Although Melissa is glad she doesn't have to live under that hag, Grelod, she wonders, what to do in this cruel world? Apparently Ulfric Stormcloak shouted the High King of Skyrim apart and starts a literal war with the Imperial Legion but not that she cares about the Legion or the Rebellion. All that matters is find a job and putting money into her pocket. Maybe when she earns enough money doing waitress jobs at the Bee and Barb she can take a carriage to Windhelm and visit Aventus Aretino to see how that Dark Brotherhood summoning is going.... Pictures of Melissa Gameplay stuff Modlist Ending Notes If there is anything else you want to know or ask, let me know in the comments.

A few nights later, in Watson's district. I finally had some contracts on offer. I wasn't going to spit on them, even if it meant doing them past midnight. I needed the money to get a real estate property. And some wheels too, because although night-time strolls were nice, I lacked mobility. See that building with the illuminated façade right behind me? That was one of the places where the fixers operated, distributing and paying out contracts to Night City's various mercenaries. Eleanor the contractor, reporting for duty. The local fixer was Regina Jones, a former journalist who turned into a freelance operative. From her building, the view of Night City's corpo district was stunning. I didn't miss it as much as I thought I would. "So Eleanor... Are you new in town? What are your skills?" "Kind of, yeah. Infiltration and extraction over the last decade." "Good, then you'll have no trouble retrieving the stolen files from the Maelstrom. They have a warehouse north of Watson, in the industrial corner. 5,000 eddies." "Sounds fair, I'll be back before dawn. " It didn't take me long to find the warehouse where the Maelstrom gang was holed up. Mostly maniacs close to cyber-psychosis, they were quite dangerous. That's why I'd come armed, just in case. I didn't want to end up being stripped of my chrome and tossed into the sea. I took the back alley and climbed through a first floor window. Security was low, with no guards and cameras limited to the main areas. I aimed my pistol towards a noise coming from a nearby electronic device. My hearing was spot on. One of the Maelstrom guys stood in the office next door, browsing on his tablet. With these lunatics, best not to risk it and simply shoot them right in the head. The office had a locked door that I opened with a hack. It led into a corridor stocked with various warehouse supplies. I remained cautious, ready to strike back in case of any threat. The closer I got, the more I felt the heat and the noise from the data center, presumably holding what I came for. The server room was guarded by a female Maelstrom who heard me coming. Unfortunately for her, I already had a clear shot in sight. I moved to the control unit screen. Once the files were located, I could download them and leave. A fairly easy job, if you ask me. Rather than backtrack, I took the quick way out: the window closed from the inside. I landed behind the warehouse, right next to the alley I had taken to break in. However, don't be fooled, not every merc job was as smooth sailing as this one. A few days later, I might have been caught by the Maelstrom. Almost stripped naked and thrown into a bathtub of ice water. Yep, you guessed it, my implants were useless in that state. That was the step before they grabbed my body parts. I was dragged from my unconscious state onto the ground by the massive Maelstrom, who crushed my belly to wake me up. "Rise and shine, merc! Not so tough now, are you? We've got a score to settle." "Make it hard for her, I'll be next door when you're done playing." "Count on me boss, she's going to suffer." My stomach and leg were twisted in pain, and my body remained crippled by the bath I had just been plunged into. Despite all these disadvantages, I had to get out of here. "You look like crap. Ready to get your ass kicked, bitch?" "Bring it on! I will beat the shit out of you!" "I like it when they're aggressive. Especially when already battered and mostly naked." "Eat this, you freak!" I rose quickly to my feet and delivered an uppercut that clattered her mask. With my wet hand, she received a well-deserved jolt of electricity. That's what you get for underestimating me. The bathroom led into a wider room, with another minion and the massive Maelstrom, seated in an armchair. Between the two was the exit to my abduction, a perfectly clear doorway into the urban jungle of Night City. "Where do you think you're going, merc? You won't escape from here alive. Get her!" The technician tried to stop me, but all he got was my bare foot in the face. What did he expect? With his skinny build, he didn't stand a chance, even without my implants. As for the giant three times my size, it would have been suicidal to confront him in my condition. So I had to be cunning. I swiftly slipped between his legs when he tried to grab me. The outside looked onto a balcony of one of Night City's many buildings. I didn't think twice and jumped over the railing to the level below. On the way, I delivered a blow to the giant's crotch. Hence my smirk. I went straight to the ripperdoc, just to be sure I didn't have any damaged components or serious injuries. Viktor was the one who helped and stitched me up a month ago. "You're in the clear, Eleanor. Your implants are working properly and your bruises will heal in a a couple of days. You'd better keep a low profile, the Maelstrom won't forget you so easily." "Damn, thanks Vik, you really are the best. Do you have any some extra clothes I could borrow?" "Sure, I'll get them for you in a moment." After getting dressed, Viktor invited me to watch a fight on TV. "You see, El, you can make money by fighting. You told me you were pretty good at martial arts, right? These televised matches can bring big eurodollars. Especially in your case, you're an outsider going up against the biggest brawlers in Night City. If you qualify, of course. You have to beat a bunch of other fighters to compete on the air. Think about it, okay?" Once the fight was over, I headed back out to my dingy motel. If these fights could earn me enough cash to rent a decent apartment and buy a car or bike, I might consider doing it. "Thanks again for your service doc! I'll be back soon to get some sparring tips from Coach Viktor."
