My father used to run the original Cyberpunk TTRPG back in the 80s, and he's told me lots and lots about it, and I read through the old rulebook. That exact setup is kinda an homage, it's literally word-for-word the recommended pattern on how to setup a story for your Cyberpunk crew. Set them up on an introductory mission, they get screwed over, now their journey starts off the backfoot as they figure out where to go from there.
