the phynix dawn "happy ending DLC" (major spoilers)

+
requirements:

complete don't fear the reaper to gain access to Mr Blue eyes at level 43 or below on very hard difficulty cuz red skull dont fear the reaper is the only difficulty costly enough to warrant a "happy ending"
complete Panam quest line and become an Aldecaldos to leverage saul's connection to biotechnica.
complete dont lose your mind and choosing merge all delamains to gain access to a powerful and sympathetic AI with beyond the black wall resources as well as trauma team database
compete big in Japan cuz you need haruyoshi nishikata (brain surgeon, world best, good instinct)
compete transmission with voodoo boys alive so you can access their independently developed hardware

premise:

after becoming legend of afterlife and successfully completing path of glory mission, Mr blue eyes contacts V with an offer to save his/her life. intelligence obtained from crystal palace during the path of glory mission reveled there was a project commissioned by saburo arasaka in regards to reversing the effects of the relic in case of unforeseen incompatibility with the corpse and the engram. the issue originates from the possibility of spontaneous revival of the fresh corpse after construct implantation. due to the fact that deep down, saburo arasaka had always planned to use his children as his vehicle of revival for maximum compatibility (hence his emphasis on protecting the family), he wanted to be able for reverse the effect if any unforeseen anomalies were to occur, as to preserve the viability of his children for future implantation attempts.

A hypothesis developed by best brain surgeon in the world haruyoshi nishikata (prior to killing the tiger claw boss) indicated that there was a "possibility" in reversing the genetic damage done by the relic if a number of factors were to converge in a prefect storm. the factors involve an experimental cyberdeck developed by militech capable of prefect integration with a biotechnica substance dispensary module. one which only haruyoshi himself is capable of implanting due to the complexity and danger involved in the procedure.

the thesis further postulates that if a human DNA manipulation prototype retrovirus currently under development in biotechnica's unique biosafety level 5 facility is completed, it would not only repair the DNA damage done by the relic but reverse engineer and extrapolate the DNA information of the relic and reconstruct a refined compatibility parameter for the construct stored within to facilitate a prefectly matched to new host body. however, no known cyberdeck os is capable of the level of computational deep learning required to extrapolate the DNA of the relic, unless the cyberdeck os is reprogramming with a willing highly evolved AI with access to the resources beyond the black wall.

such a highly unique operation as reprogramming a cyberdeck os with a highly evolved AI can only be carried out by legendary net runner such as rache bartmoss, spider murphy, or an unique AI like alt cunningham. however it may be possible for a group of highly skilled netrunners accustomed to highly modified custom/unique hardware to take directions from alt cunningham for the hardware integration/reprogramming.

further discussion with haruyoshi revealed that with the refined DNA parameter provided by the cyberdeck AI, it may be possible to locate a suitable corpse "donor" within the vast biomonitor database of the trama team for the johnny engram.

the series of missions

help maelstrom highjack militech convoy or help militech destroy totentanz to get prototype cyberdeck
chain mission help permanently stop tigerclaw from hunting haruyoshi to get him to implant the cyberdeck
plant a virus in netwatch headquarter for voodoo boys to help reprogram the cyberdeck os with delamain AI
chain mission, help delamain become an android and establish android rights in night city to remove netwatch threat to delamain. in order for him to become the OS of the cyberdeck as well as gaining access to trauma teams vast biomon database for DNA compatibility search.
promise to revive johnny to get alt cunningham to allow delamains free traversal through the blackwall as well as assist in reprogramming the cyberdeck with delamain AI
chain mission help install saul as a vp in biotechnica night city branch to gain access to the biosafety level 5 facility for the experimental human DNA retrovirus

this is the alternate universe ending that would be kinda cool to see :)

thoughts?

PS the only lore i have on cyberpunk universe is from the game, so some things may not make sense. the only part i'm aware of that is strange is to have saul become a VP in biotechnica which neither corpo nor nomad will ever consider. but i'm thinking saul may be willing to consider it if it was for saving a well liked, powerful, famous member of the family. and biotechnica can be swayed if enough possible profit can be demonstrated by having the leader of the aldecaldo (with the living legend of afterlife as a member) as a VP in the night city branch
 
Doesn't match with current story. Better if Johnny got the body and V got a new body by either
1. Johnny manage to buy a Machine body/pronounce dead body and Alt didn't or fail to consume V for some humanity touch.
2. Mr Blue-eye got V a body for some job (like the one in the Sun ending) and set terms with Alt.

I have notice the whoever wrote the storyline have something with Johnny and so I guess it's a must.

Of course there is also a alternate universe option, where Johnny knows the whole story from all storylines where he goes with Alt (whatever sifi Voodoo reason) Which will match with the pv they posted, the one Johnny with first appearance just show up and say "we got a city to burn"
With this, will require V do something in the prolog like something with listening to a song, or got a call for a new quest that pops up only with the DLC.

I would like to see either way, or maybe both tbh.
 
the reason i wrote V getting the body is because Johnny is more of a "blow it up" to solve a problem and not as much of a "thinker" as V. besides, the Johnny ending have him getting on a bus and leaving instead of trying to find ways to bring V back. whereas V was still moving forward and doing all he/she can with the days he/she has left.

what it comes down to is there is less motivation for Johnny to seek an ultimate cure since he's not "dying" anymore, Whereas V "only has 6 months to live". it can be said that with V's ending, bringing Johnny back is only a condition set by Alt to help with saving V him/her self. the only reason Alt would want to boot Johnny back is because Johnny himself said the none of his friends can stand being with him and now Alt is stuck with him :D and that's her motivation to revive Johnny.

as for getting a body, there is only one relic. the one in V's brain. even if Johnny manage to get a body for V there is no way to inject the engram into said corpse. (lack of nano-machines in the relic to facilitate the process) and compatibility still plays a huge roll in this situation. biotechnica's "primary business" is genetic engineering and having an experimental DNA reconstruction retrovirus is more plausible to ensure compatibility with any engram.

Mr. Blue-eye (the illusive man :D ) has vast resources however we are still talking about an unique piece of tech (relic) and even he can not just poop one out from somewhere.

IMO with the vast biomon database of trauma team and a perfect compatibility profile provided by an AI, a corpse "donor" may be found, even if "aggressive negotiations" is required :D
