Dream

 Early in the morn I woke from a dream in which I was GMing a Bubblegum Crisis-based game for some others. The relatively new player was running an ex-military major who had been extremely cyber-augmented and was causing disruption around the city.

Somehow the city major or similar corporate official tracks him down and challenges him to a series of battles with a thought of "I'll show him in escalating fashion how difficult things can really get for him to demoralize and make him stop."

The first fight is against a standard boomer, put forth with no expectation of actual challenge. Indeed, the major trashes his with little effort. Next is someone piloting battle armor roughly equal to what the AD Police field. This is more of a fight, but the major manages to dance around attacks and, deciding he doesn't want to kill the pilot, he slips around behind to pull out a power core.

Then the mayor-guy puts forth the Knight Sabers. This is a real battle between the parties, with damage done, but the major ends up slammed down on a steel beam with Priss over him, weapon lined up perfectly. He tells her to finish him off, but she ends up screaming out and grabbing him. She emotionally tells him to live - to live on for those who can't, including those he killed in his rampaging.

And with this, the gaming ends and we settle in to watch the anime episode that inspired the game session, this whole thing having been a plan of mine to immersively introduce that player to the series and that action style of cyberpunk roleplay.
