  • Sandra Dorsett's kidnapping by scavs wasn't a coincidence. She was targeted for a specific reason and we're going to explore exactly why in this video.

    After the background specific prologue, the Rescue is the first main story mission of Cyberpunk 2077. Jackie and V are tasked with infiltrating a scavver hideout and rescuing a woman named Sandra Dorsett.
    But after rescuing Sandra and progressing through the story we’ll be contacted by her again for another side quest. It’s at this point we can discover that perhaps Sandra was specifically targeted because of something she knew... specifically some shady NightCorp AI research that she uncovered on the net. We discover this information during the quest Full Disclosure if we hack into Sandra's databank and read the datashards in her apartment.

      My over all theory on all of this is that before he died Rache Barttmoss created an AI that would bring down Arasaka and other corporations, get rid of the blackwall, and mikoshi, all in one fell swoop. That AI lored Johnny and V to its cause by using Alt's engram. But its ALSO the AI that Maelstrom have been trying to bring to the real world in a meat sack (human). All these other stories are chess moves that the AI has been making to ensure that it gets what it wants. Unfortunately, I get the sense that the AI doesn't care what level of damage it causes..and things will get MUCH worse if it succeeds.

    There's a few missions that allude to this. There's a mission where you help out a politician and it suggests that he's being mind controlled by a secret group of people. The more you look into the lore, it also suggest that cyberpsychosis is caused by those same secret groups of people and that even the food plays a role, in that it's made of cloned human flesh. It's known that cannibalism causes psychotic breaks with people, that combined with cyberware being not only easily hacked but encouraged to integrate within yourself, suggest that the general population is basically being controlled too.

    @gorefist3907 ปีที่แล้ว

    Interesting video. I have a theory I posted on another channel some time back that I will post here for thoughts. Sandra Dorset and 7 others in the game have rings, and each of these characters are having issues that go deep. Other notable members with the ring are Jefferson Peralez, Mr. Blue Eyes, General in the car when you complete a job for Regina Jones etc.
    My theory is each person with the ring is under some type of control, and each person correlates to the mystery statues around Night City. That plan in some way is to allow AI to take over the city. I know it sounds odd but hear me out.
    V when they jack into Sandra gets sick with a virus. This virus persists even in V after getting cleaned up by Vic. This virus is then spread through every interaction V jacks into, hacks, or even monitors from Delamain right before the Heist mission (Which causes Delamain to fracture into 8 different personalities) up to certain endings.
    Johnny is not Silverhand but rather an AI and part of a virus that is spreading throughout the city... like RA.B.I.E.S. if you will.
    With your missions and interactions, you are taking out every gang, all of the major corporations except for 3 (Night Corp, Kang Tao, and Militech) that I would consider a big thing.
    You can find a crashed transport for Kang Tao that has a case that is open and something missing, while not so far away Militech is killing and cleaning up a group of homeless.
    BartMoss created a virus that self-replicated and then is found dead and a notice to not open till 2055 or something.
    What am I getting at here is the entire game is 1 giant woven story that you as the player are slowly killing off Night City with an AI virus upgrade version of RA.B.I.E.S. that when mixed with machinery it does what it can to kill people. In some cases, the system fights against itself, as seen in some of the offspring of Delamain, and the evolution of Jonny after the first night.
    I think all with the rings are at some point not them but controlled by their AI self. I think Sandra much like multiple personality disorder was not aware she planted herself there to get captured by the scavs so she can spread the virus, how Jeffereson feels he is going crazy, how V blacks out and Johnny can take over, and I would assume Mr. Blue Eyes is an AI controlling a body. I think the only person that has overcome the virus is Garry the Profit and he tells you the entire storyline and game within the first few minutes of meeting him.
    If you read up on Cyberpunk the tabletop game, it goes into how the cyber-psychos are potentially sentient machinery fighting for control of the body. This has been updated in Cyberpunk Red but is kind of touched on even in Edgerunner.
    V pretty much also says it to Sandra at the end of the interaction if you're a netrunner. 7:59
    Sorry I know this is long and written rather crazy. Trying to get it all down before work.
    TL DR - Sandra (along with other ring wearers) unaware to herself is being controlled by an AI (AGI term in game) to take down Night City, which you as the player V (who is virused) are assisting in taking down any additional threats by interacting with machinery and technology all over the city.

  • @mbishop2050

    So, does this mean that Night Corp is not the one behind what is going on with the Peralez, and his wife, among others? Both are mind hacking, I guess is the best description, but Night Corp is currently looking at how to create new cyberpsychos, going by those shard entries. Which I think is a reference to the old and discredited MK Ultra project. I mean it is a "great" idea if one Corp wants to cause problems for another Corp by using their own employees as weapons against said Corp. I am not sure right off what fields Night Corp is involved in, but say they are competing with Arasaka for a contract, having an Arasaka employee suddenly go psycho and wipe out a valuable research team and then kill themselves is a perfect one-shot weapon to use.

    Like Leviathan could have a Drown/Thirst ultimate causing the target to go rabid and choke on their saliva. Or another one called "Data Flooding" Streams a deluge of data into their ocuset/optics forcing them to produce an excessive amount of tears.
    Cerberus could have "Heatwave" causing several targets to overheat
    Shiva could have "Cold Snap"
    forcing the user to suffer hypothermia by breaking their cyberware coolant containment.
    Ixion or Zeus could cause Short Circuit to spread between multiple targets.

    While talking to Peralez while Mr Blue eyes was watching us, a bunch of Delamain anouncements showed everywhere and that was so creepy. Also while doing the part of the mission when you're catching the dudes who try to escape to an invisible AV I found in the laptops a site to vote to merge Night City with NUSA, I didn't find that site in any other computer or at least didn't notice it before, so I think that quest will be related to the NUSA plot and the next DLC story.
