The Darkest Day in Cyberpunk Canon: The AHQ Disaster | Cyberpunk Lore

It's finally here: August 20th, 2023. In the world of Cyberpunk, this marks the date of the notorious AHQ Disaster, where Arasaka Tower was destroyed by some of Cyberpunk's most notable characters. In this special upload, we explore todays events as seen in Cyberpunk history, to get to the bottom of just what went down, (no pun intended.) _______________ CORRECTION: The Cyberpunk RED Core Rulebook attests that the nuclear device detonated in Arasaka Tower technically resulted in an air blast, meaning the weapon was detonated at a height where the resulting fireball would not make contact with the surface of the earth. In this case, Pondsmith attests that the nuke went off roughly 366m/yds from the surface, lending further credence to the idea that Morgan Blackhand was the true carrier of the weapon. However, this remains unclear. It is otherwise unknown how an air blast could have occurred given the timeline of events we already know. Some suggest that Blackhand may have even had a second, as-of-yet unknown Militech-supplied bomb. _______________ Today in Cyberpunk Canon: The AHQ Disaster | Cyberpunk Lore 0:00 Introduction 2:22 What is Canon? 8:01 The Fourth Corporate War 10:41 The DataKrash & The Reliquary Database 13:09 Assembling The Recruits 16:11 The Plan & The Teams 18:39 Government Involvement 20:19 Go Time 22:14 The Operation Begins 24:46 Team Alpha and The Soulkiller Lab 30:29 Team Beta & The Command Center 31:33 The Yorinobu Conspiracy 33:32 Destroying The Database & Planting the Nuke 35:13 On The Rooftop 36:59 The Aftermath 37:58 Black Dog 40:24 Closing Thoughts 41:32 Outro Thanks for your continued support :) __________________ My second channel: @everberon2 __________________ Music: --- The Rebel Path -- Cyberpunk 2077 --- Totalimmortal -- Cyberpunk 2077 --- The Streets Are Long-Ass Gutters -- Cyberpunk 2077 --- Kang Tao Down (Life During Wartime) -- Cyberpunk 2077 --- Close Probing -- Cyberpunk 2077 --- Ponpon S__t (Acoustic) -- Cyberpunk 2077
