First Edgerunner Arrest
September 2021, Man That You Fear, Toshi News
The NCPD has made the first public arrest under the new emergency policy, with known Rockerboy Johnny Silverhand ending up in city's finest Civic Center jailhouse. Whether or not his placement next to founder and coordinator Bruce Skiv in the floorplan is intentional, one thing is clear: this spells doom for any prospecting Edgerunners looking to get a buck in Night City.
At the same time, many smaller #corporation s are complaining about the new law since many of their greywater jobs relied on contract workers like Nomads, Techies and Netrunners. With this new law, all the gig workers must now be employees, which has gravely impacted the market's capacity to increase profit margins.
