About this mod

Custom perspective start for Lucy. This is my what-if take on if V is actually Lucy.
Lucy escapes the underground facility and joins up with the Nomads after awaking in a junkyard. Then, after her Nomad family is killed ("fallen to pieces"), starts a new life in Night City. What-if this all did happen before she met Maine and his crew?

Lucy's backstory according to cyberpunk fandom wiki:

Lucy is of Japanese and Polish descent, and was selected at a young age after having taken a proficiency test–alongside 12 other children–to receive training at an undisclosed Arasaka facility and become a netrunner. Being led on by the dream of "serving the world's most powerful megacorp" one day, got her and the others through the toughest days and training.

When their training concluded, they were moved underground to participate in deep dives into the pre-DataKrash Net, as Arasaka sent them looking for knowledge that was lost. As they dove into the Net, they were susceptible to old world daemons and rogue AIs. The children were picked off one by one, and it didn't take long until only a handful of them were left.
After realizing that they could pursue other dreams, instead of being enslaved by the corporation, the remaining children, including Lucy, used their netrunning skills to overwhelm the Arasaka staff and escape. While making their escape, most of the children were shot down one-by-one, and only Lucy managed to survive.
After escaping, Lucy woke up in a junkyard, not planning to stay long. Roaming from place to place, eventually she ended up in Night City, no longer feeling like she was being chased by the megacorp.

After being in Night City for some time, Lucy joined Maine's edgerunner crew, where she was mentored by another netrunner named kiwi.


Lucy's Night City Beginning
(This is what I believe to be Lucy's story between her escape and joining Maine's crew.)

Lucy escaped with the highest quality netrunning cybergear. After waking up in the junkyard, Nomad territory, she joined a Nomad clan and ran with them under the alias V. A monowire user betrayed the clan and tried to sell her back to Arasaka. She survived and had the monowire installed.
She then meets Jackie. She eventually decides to use her real name around the time she joins Maine's crew.
