I side with Michael. I’m not being paid to be moral.

Always side with who is paying me. I even have thrown an axe in the face of someone who just started talking to try to convince me other wise.

This one was a toughie, but I made the report anonymized. It’s true as a merc, you take whatever job you’re paid to do and do it, BUT ONLY IF the client didn’t lie to the fixer and, by extension, the merc. Just doing whatever you’re paid to do blindly, even when a client lies, seems like a great way to get used in the future, possibly even against yourself.

I have her scrub the name from the testimony. Sure, I’ll lose a few points, but Michael is a scumbag and I can easily guilt him into paying me, knowing he was paid to provide the testimony against his own son (which he then lied about). Client lies to the people providing the service, then he gets what he gets. Too bad, fuckface!

I got paid to do a job, and these two aren’t exactly amicable.

Sides with Georgina, make Michael pay at least part of the money.

Client pays to have the testimony deleted, not for someone to pinky promise it will remain anonymous.

What are you even asking? You were paid to do a specific job.
Cal_PCGW
I do the job I was paid to do.

I have her delete it HOWEVER i don’t do it because i was paid to someone else correctly states that a customer lying about the nature of the job can/should void the need to see it through, but i do it because she is using dirty tactics and my V finds that despicable, the end shouldn’t justify the means.

Client lied to the fixer, lied to me. You try to fuck me over, you’ve only got yourself to blame if your shitty plan goes belly up. The professional thing to do is to fuck the client over. Business with fixers and mercs has rules and if you can’t respect those rules then your business with them is over.
We never see the consequences of Evelyn trying to cut Deshawn out of the heist but you can imagine it’d end pretty fucking poorly for her if you snitch. You don’t fuck with fixers and mercs like that.

I take the deal.
My corpo V always takes the side of the highest bidder when it comes to gigs.

Lying to a fixer for a job… it always ends badly for the liar… it ends badly.

Michael sold out his innocent ish son to a prosecutor, apparently committing perfidy, then ask our help to make things right while keeping the prosecutor’s bribe.
Why not? Valentinos are nicer people than the ones running NC. My V does what he is paid to do.

I told her to wipe the data because something didn’t feel right about the client’s confession against his son. Like on the video he sounds as if he’s not selling him out for eddies, but something else. For what I couldn’t tell you but something about how he was acting, how he spoke. It’s as if he was given an ultimatum, sell out his son or something worse against him. Idk, just it felt forced for some reason. Am I the only one who got that vibe?

I always side with the client. It is what he pays me for, after all.
Also, the stories going on here are a bit confusing. Michael says he got beaten up and was forced to testify, which funnily enough the footage that the DA shows you CONFIRMS, even though she shows it to convince you otherwise. You can tell in the footage hes beaten to hell, the DA’s thug is pacing back and forth and Michael is very clearly scared as hell of him, and also the DA just dictates him the questions and asks, nay, tells him to confirm it, which he does. I honestly wonder how she thought this will stand in court. The witness is CLEARLY under duress. But then you talk to Michael and ask “Are you gonna pay me with the money you got for the testimony?” and he says “Ah shit”, effectively confirming the DA was telling the truth and Michael DID in fact take money for a testimony.
And I find this confusing, are both of their stories true? Or did the thug beat him up, they got his testimony and then the DA paid him anyway, basically to cover it up? But then Michael shouldn’t feel regret about having testified, since he was forced and is now trying to undo it.
It seems to me that the game simultaneously wants both stories to be true, that he gladly took the money but also got the shit beaten out of him for some reason.

I considered taking her deal until she tried to have her huscle threaten me. Can’t have the streets thinking I punk out when some two-bit meathead in a cheap suit flexes his meager little muscles at me.

I don’t really care about their personal motives or any of that stuff. Yeah he sold out his son so what ? I’m getting paid to remove the evidence not play the moral police simulator. Moral choices are only for my story not the contracts. But then again I did go against the muscular lina request for my own entertainment and didn’t try to get him rebooted but in the end he was happy so it clears out
