Double Life is the main job that follows the rescue of Evelyn Parker, set in Judy Álvarez's apartment in Kabuki, Watson. Judy pulls two braindances from Evelyn's memory, and together with V she finds out who really hired Evelyn for the job on Konpeki Plaza. The trail leads to the Voodoo Boys of Pacifica and to Alt Cunningham.

Story

Judy's Apartment

After the escape from the power plant, Judy takes Evelyn home to her flat in Kabuki to recover. V starts on the balcony with Johnny, then goes inside to talk to Judy. Evelyn lies on the bed and does not answer when V sits beside her.

The journal reflects Johnny's dark mood after the power plant. There is nothing that cannot be taken from a person if someone looks hard enough. When everything else is gone, there is still a body to harvest, skills to use and dignity to strip away. Johnny even admits that being stuck on the Relic may not be the worst fate.

The First Braindance

Judy has pulled two braindances from Evelyn's mind, and she shows them to V in her editing room. In the first, Evelyn talks to the woman who hired her to record Yorinobu's penthouse. The woman is a netrunner, and her face is encrypted so well that neither V nor Judy can see it. A symbol on a holo screen marks her as working with the Voodoo Boys. Flyers on the floor and the vévé drawings around an altar place the scene in Pacifica.

The Second Braindance

In the second recording, Evelyn hides at the top of a staircase in an alley while the netrunner talks on the phone below her. The talk is in a language V does not understand until Judy installs a translation program. The conversation reveals that Alt Cunningham can be met in cyberspace, and that Johnny Silverhand's engram is the way to reach her.

Johnny's Engram

Judy asks V about the engram, and V asks Johnny for details. Judy then asks how V will get in touch with the Voodoo Boys. V says they will ask around, thanks Judy and leaves the apartment. The search for the Voodoo Boys continues in M'ap Tann Pèlen.

Choices

The answers given to Johnny and Judy in this job are remembered. They shape later conversations in Judy's side jobs, which can lead to a romance with her.

Rewards

After the job, shards on braindance concepts and on Judy's tech projects appear in her apartment. Responding warmly to a later text from Claire Russell starts the side job The Beast In Me.

Tips

Visiting the Pacifica Serenity Bible Church before this job lets V recognise the place in the first braindance. Most of the scans are then skipped, and only the netrunner needs scanning.

The side job Love Rollercoaster in Coastview must be started before entering Judy's apartment. After this job its characters disappear and it can no longer be started.

Notes

  • V can leave the area before entering Judy's apartment, but the clock stays frozen in the evening until a job moves time on again.
