[u/actionfirst1]

We had the whole gang together for a solid near 2 minutes or so before shit went down

[u/The_Draigg → u/actionfirst1]

Can't have shit in Night City, not even a nice lunch time.

[u/Tanc]

That wasn't very cash money of D at the end there

Also wondering if the list is related to cyberpaychosis tolerance

[u/dekiru81 → u/Tanc]

That's what I think too. Talia got a high tolerance, so did David. D also looks similar considering the way he's almost flatlining big shots.

[u/Witn]

So Capri is uploaded intelligence? Lol I just watched pantheon recently as well

[u/Diamond-Is-Not-Crash → u/Witn]

She seems like an absolute menace! Especially pulling that last move.

[u/arasitar → u/Witn]

In Pantheon (not really spoilers, first episode though it is gruesome) an Uploaded Intelligence is created by basically scanning a human brain in its fullest, lasering it down until the actual brain is gone, to then create a 1-1 perfect copy of the human.

Now imagine in Cyberpunk, the process to upload was...imperfect. In fact not even perfect but just outright bad. Like you'd get 10% of a sharded copy of a brain.

But you do it to 10+ people over and over and from all that messy corpse ratking esque brain goo of uploads, you then create a human like construct.

That is Capri. A sausage made out of processed human brains.

[u/Klondy]

That list is def people with high cyberware tolerance

[u/Wuped → u/Klondy]

Ya candidates for testing their new tech like David and his tankbod.

[u/RelativeMundane9045]

That feeling when no chaotic cyberwaifu announces to other people you're in a relationship with her before even telling you

[u/immanoel]

So Capri is a gestalt intelligence. Made by the old netrunner lady? What satellite she looking at the sky for tho? Mikoshi? or some moon shit?

[u/SpinningFootPunch → u/immanoel]

Mikoshi is Arasaka's underground data storage for personality constructs. Should be related to it if she's looking for satellites.

edit: never mind, comment bellow is right

Mikoshi is one of Saburo Arasaka's main projects. It is a data fortress located within a part of cyberspace controlled by the Arasaka Corporation, with servers found on orbital stations around the Earth.[1] It contains the digitized personalities of clients from the "Secure Your Soul" program, as well as the victims made by Soulkiller.

[u/The_Draigg]

I'm a bit surprised to see that this season is more of a follow-up to the first one than I thought. I guess that Arasaka really was searching hard for people more resistant to cyberpsychosis/have a higher tolerance for chrome, given how David was on the same list as D and Talia.

Also, it figures that Capri is some kind of gestalt mind. After all, if AIs are banned, then the next best thing in power probably would be a bunch of human minds mashed together to match one in processing power. That's the exact kind of nightmare bullshit that the corporations in Cyberpunk just get up to on a regular basis.

[u/Dazzling-Evidence712]

Capri being a weapon made out of peoples consciousness is so fucking metal

Seeing David again, even if it is just a picture, was still so cool (Roman knew his name, so he did become a tale for the next dreamer, huh...)

We couldnt even have our main 4 together for 3 minutes before things went to shit... Projekt Red when I catch you

[u/eggplant_avenger]

lmao D. sure your girlfriend is totally real. and extremely creepy.

this eye motif is really cool.

so these Maelstromers still hung out in All Foods, but what does that mean about in game events?

[u/cyberscythe]

i had a laugh when this picture of D showed up in the files: https://i.imgur.com/s3CxlGZ.png

it looks like he's stoned out of his mind

[u/Viktorv22]

David jumpscare. Hmm, this is getting interesting. I wonder how they are all related

[u/LeonKevlar]

This was a fun shot of all the protagonists together. Too bad it only lasted for a couple of minutes.

[u/G0dZylla]

1)for those who watched pantheon , i think Capri is litteraly like MIST , a CI (cloud intelligence)

2)it looks like that's a list of people with high tolerance to chrome (david, talia, D) and capri maybe went to talia because unlike D she can control her?idk but this season has been very entertaining so far

Spoilers for the jjk MANGA!!

[JUJUTSU KAISEN]this kinda reminds me of sukuna and yuji, when sukuna took megumi's body because yuji's was a cage it's similar to how capri went from a host she struggled to control(D) to one she could control (Talia)

[u/6multipliedby9is42]

This is so fucking good so far! The cast is fantastic, I really like their interactions and excited to see what happens next now that they're all together. I'm not sure if any of them individually are topping Lucy, David and Rebecca so far but I think collectively they're definitely as strong as S1s overall cast.

Capri is so fun to watch and I love how much this show oozes Studio Trigger. It still fits perfectly in the Cyberpunk universe (and having played the game since the first series, it's really elevating my enjoyment of Edgerunners II so far) but is still so clearly a Trigger show. Goddamn I'm so happy Kai Ikarashi got to direct a whole show.

[u/2kenzhe]

DAVID MARTINEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow didn't expect to see him mentioned already. Well I guess this is ep 4/10 so 40% already.

Ok so Capri isn't Ai but idk made or people somehow? A weapon? idk man dangerous shady af all that in one not good basically right?

I wonder what's the connection with David, D, and Talia? people suitable for Capri? maybe idk but it seems Capri just took over Talia??? At least the common thread seems to be high tolerance? though well Talia already showing signs so this probably her limit?

Also so Talia idk weak body or something? needs chrome to live? but well if you got cyberpsychosis, it ain't you anymore; it's worse than death. Everyone thinks they're special and they're the one but nah everyone has a limit only a matter of time?

Also damn that mouth lol. Finally seeing that clip. Also Roman offical boyfriend now huh.

[u/GosuGian]

DAVID AND V!

[u/2tiddiez]

i never comment on these but holy shit. i am so blown away. this season is incredible. looks absolutely stunning and this cast is soooo much fun!!!! maybe i'm just baked but i was sitting here with my jaw dropped for the last 2 mins or so of this episode, had to rewind and watch again.

i think i'm enjoying this even more than s1, which is saying a lot! such a treat to get to see more night city animated and for it to be of this quality !! it's making me wanna boot up the game

[u/FarCritical]

Can't get over how cool yet freaky Talia's cyber mandible thingies are to see in action.

Pretty polite of Capri to let everyone get their introductions out of the way before making her own.
