Chapter 238

MAX-TAC—the Psycho Squad—was an independent division within the Night City Police Department (NCPD). Publicly, they claimed absolute neutrality, answering to no corporation. Under normal circumstances, they only intervened in incidents where public order had catastrophically deteriorated, or in cyberpsychosis attacks.

Their strength was beyond question. Every corporation in Night City funded them together: the best tactical gear, the best prototype cyberware—anything top-tier on the market, they had it.

Precisely because of that, this kind of elite force was nearly impossible for outside powers to interfere with.
