You are Henry , a cyborg living in the the futuristic city of Zail. You have a bionic arm and a holoband. You're walking down the dark city streets while neon lights flash brightly above you. As you pass an alley you see two men fighting. After a few punches are thrown one man says,

"I have a bone to pick with you, Zee." The other one replies, "With you, sir."
Zee has a long scar that goes across his face from his left ear to his chin. He has a physique similar to a professional boxer in the 20th century.
Zee shouts, "Let's cut to the chase, shall we?" His scarred opponent nods his head.
Zee continues, "I'm here about the job."
His opponent says, "I saw that."
Zee asks, "Who are you working for?"
The man replies, "I can't reveal my employer, sir."
Zee asks, "Why not?"
The man says, "He doesn't like his connection with him revealed."
Zee asks, "What's the job?"
The man scratches his head and answers, "I need someone to deliver a package to Captain Pollo."
Zee thinks for a moment and then says, "It's risky to reveal who I'm working for, but what if I refuse?"
The man laughs and replies, "Then I'll be severely dissatisfied."
Zee says, "Alright, I'll do it."
Zee's opponent asks, "What's the package?"
Zee replies, "A bomb."
Zee's opponent says,
"Why bomb?"
Zee says, "We don't exactly know. It's money that he (indicating his scarred opponent) wants Pollo to deliver to someone else."
The man says, "Who is the package for?"
Zee says, "We think it's a terrorist, but that's unconfirmed."
Zee's opponent squints his eyes and leans forward.
Zee says: "Alright, i see you are useless" and pulls a pistol from its holster. He shoots his opponent once in the chest. The man falls backwards onto the ground. Zee looks at the man and then looks at you. He says: "Sorry about this. He was dangerous. If you refuse to make the delivery, he'll die anyway. He knows too much."
Zee pulls out another pistol and points it at you.
Zee: "Don't move and don't speak. Don't look at him, or you'll both die. I'll be fine."
Zee turns away from you. You know he's going to shoot his opponent again if he makes any sort of move.
Zee shouts, "Do it." You have the package in your hands.

> You say "What i need to do?"
Zee turns around and says, "Put it in the bag."
You slowly walk over to the fallen man. You kneel down beside him and put your arm under him. You pick him up and turn around to grab the bag. You put him in the bag and zip it up.
Zee shouts, "Good job. Let's get out of here."
Follow Zee as he runs to a dumpster. He pulls out a pen drive and hands it to you.
Zee: "This is what you need to give to Pollo."

> You say "Who is Pollo?"
Zee: "The man you're going to meet. He runs an organization known as the Crimson Talon."
Zee hands you a card with the name, phone number and address of a bar on it.

> You say "Why would i do that?"
Zee: "Because I won't be there to protect your furry flank. This animal (he points to the alley), he'll vouch that you didn't give him any information."

> You say "Alright then. I'll do that"
Zee: "Good. We have a deal."
Zee puts away his pistols into his trenchcoat, pulls out a lighter and a cigarette from his pocket and sits down on a nearby wall to smoke.

> You say "Can i have a cigarette?"
Zee lights up and hands one to you.
Zee: "Here. Polish it off."
You put the cigarette between your lips and begin to suck on it.
Zee says, "Grh, tastes like ash. That's how you know it's not real."
You continue to suck on the cigarette and feel it burn your throat.
Zee: "Alright, alright, I'll see you soon."
Zee gets off the wall and walks away quickly.

> You follow Pollo's address written on the card.
You follow the directions on the card and find yourself deep in run-down part of town. You begin walking down the street looking for the address.
A group of thugs begin walking towards you. They look like the type that would rob you if they did not want you dead.
Suddenly, you hear a voice shout, "Hey doll face, you gonna give us what we want or do we have to take it?"
The thugs begin walking away.
You look around and see that the entire gang is completely ignoring you.
Well, you could run, but that would be rather foolish wouldn't it?
You could attempt to reason with them, but again, this would be futile.

> You raise hands up.
The thugs are so surprised they stop walking away from you.
One of them walks towards you and says in a friendly tone,
Thug: "What the heck man? You with Pollo?"
You:

> You say "I'm not with Pollo, but i need to talk to him"
The Thug: "Who are you?"
You: "I'm just a person that wants to talk."
The Thug: "Pollo know you are here. You can't see Pollo."
You: "You need to let me through."
The Thug: "Nah, Pollo don't like people."

> You say "I have a package to deliver to him"
The Thug: "Hey, you got something for Pollo! He's the only one that can get it, man."
You: "I have to deliver it to him personally."
Thug: (thinking) "I can run this guy through and steal his package."
The Thug signals the rest of his team to approach you.
One of them says, "It's time to go home, gang."
The Thug signals for you to turn around.
You turn around, and with the tail of your shirt, wipe away some sweat that has gathered on your forehead.
Thug: "Alright, let's see that package."
You slowly pull out the pen drive from your front jeans pocket and hand it to him.
Thug: "Hey, this is the one I've been looking for! Thanks, man. Say, why don't you come back with us?"
You: "I can't. Pollo has to see something."

> You say "Hey, i need to had it to Pollo!"
Thug: "O.K. You can come back with us, but you better not try anything funny."
You: "No, I promise you."
You follow the thugs through the alleys of the slums. It takes about 15 minutes.
You walk into an old, abandoned house and you see the rest of the gang. You are immediately surrounded by them.
Thug: "Here he is, man."
Pollo walks over to you, looking through your clothing and bag. He finds the package and opens it. He finds the contents to be a lot of money.
Pollo looks at the rest of his gang and says, "Uncle, you are a genius!"
He walks away from you and begins to count the money in the light of a candle. Then he turns to you and says, "Thanks for bringing this to me, friend."
Pollo gives you back the package and says, "Don't worry. I will be taking good care of your package too, man."
You are led out of the slums and into a waiting car. After a short ride, you are dropped off at your hotel.
You say, "Thanks for talking to me. I really wanted to speak to Pollo."
Thug: "No problem, bro. I'm sure we will see each other again someday."
You: "Maybe."
You turn around and walk away from the slums for the last time.
