Biography

The Job

Dakota had trouble with a councilman who kept pressing her and trying to knock her off balance. Her solution was to have him removed, and McAdams was happy to take the job. Once it was done, Militech put a price on his head.

Captured

A man named Wildriver captured McAdams and held him in the basement of a shack, hoping to sell him to Militech for the bounty. While his captor haggled, McAdams sat on the floor and thought about his situation, even though he was not tied up. When V arrives, he first takes V for Militech and acts tough. Once V explains that Dakota sent the rescue, he drops the act and admits he does not like playing hard in the face of death. V then takes him out of the Biotechnica flats to meet Dakota's driver, Starkey, an old friend he has not seen in years. Dakota later confirms he is safe.
