docs/08-loadout-and-build.md:
- Decompressed all 109 4ZLX chunks in sav.dat (6.79 MB -> 28.3 MB)
- String-mined for cyberware/weapon/outfit references
- Confirmed: Apogee Sandevistan (iconic PL OS), Mantis Blades equipped,
  full arms cyberware collection (monowire/launcher/gorilla), Kiroshi
  optics, Second Heart, EquipmentEx wardrobe mod active
- Attributes: 20/20/20/20/20, level 80, Street Cred 50, Very Hard
- Skill investment: everything except Gunslinger (no handguns)
- Build: melee-Sandevistan-quickhack hybrid (Edgerunner archetype)
- Includes Python snippet for reproducing the chunk decompression

docs/09-canon-clarification.md:
- Reconciled user directive 'Songbird + secret ending + solo Arasaka'
- 'Secret ending' = Don't Fear The Reaper (base game), not PL Tower cure
- Canonical path: Songbird sympathy in PL, declined moon shuttle,
  returned to NC, completed DFTR (solo Arasaka with Johnny)
- Notes that 03-base-game-story.md needs re-anchoring from Sun to DFTR
- Save 260's mid-Star positioning resolved: Star/DFTR share the
  Aldecaldos camp, branch at the call (Panam vs Rogue), not at camp

V — Corpo Archive

Cyberpunk 2077 character record · jbelec playthrough · Oct 2024

V in Crystal Palace

"Wake the fuck up, samurai. We have a city to burn."

This repo is the archived bio of a single V — a modded NG+ Corpo female V, romanced Judy Alvarez, played across multiple parallel forks at the Phantom Liberty Killing Moon decision and the base-game Nocturne Op55N1 rooftop. Two saves and one Sun-ending screenshot survived the marathon. Together they describe a character who took the Cyberpunk endgame apart from both sides.

The two saves

Save When Playtime Killing Moon Status at save
ManualSave-260 2024-10-26 01:02 AM 119.24h Songbird (Moon path) Aldecaldos camp, briefing maglev assault — Star ending in progress
ManualSave-261 2024-10-26 12:18 PM 112.93h Reed (cure path) H10 apartment, calling Mr. Hand — Tower secret ending in progress

These saves are separate forks of the same character, not points on a single timeline (save 261 has 6.3 fewer hours of playtime than 260 — impossible without branching from an earlier reload). See docs/07-forks-correction.md for the full structural read, docs/08-loadout-and-build.md for the extracted gear/cyberware/build, and docs/09-canon-clarification.md for which path is canon (spoiler: Songbird sympathy + Don't Fear The Reaper).

Endings achieved across the run

Ending Tarot Status Evidence
Phantom Liberty (Songbird → Moon) Completed Save 260: q306_done=1, q304_songbirds_path=1
The Sun (Crystal Palace) Completed Screenshot + player statement ("the secret ending")
The Tower (PL Reed cure) XVI In progress Save 261: q304_done_reed_path, q305_active=1
The Star (Panam Aldecaldos) In progress Save 260: tracked on q114_02_maglev_line_assault

Whether Star and Tower were also completed off-save is not preserved in either file — saves only capture state up to the credits roll, not past it.

Provenance

  • ManualSave-260.zip (5.4 MB) — uploaded 2026-06-01 23:34 UTC; the Songbird-Moon / Star-prep fork
  • ManualSave-261.zip (5.4 MB) — uploaded 2026-06-01 22:10 UTC; the Reed-Tower fork
  • Crystal Palace screenshot — 2024-10-26 10:43 AM (file 20241026104338_1.jpg)
  • All character claims trace back to the facts block, finishedQuests list, trackedQuestEntry, and debugString in the two metadata JSONs. The player's directly-stated outcomes (Sun completed, Moon completed) are recorded as such.

Errata

Commit a9f68a7 (first pass, save 261 only) speculated about a sequential ordering of endings — Moon → Sun → Tower as one timeline. That was wrong. Save 260 makes the fork structure visible; the corrected reading is in docs/07-forks-correction.md and the per-doc revisions in this commit.
