Knives for a pro.

I think knives are a good idea. Big, fuck-off shiny ones. Ones that look like they could skin a crocodile. Knives are good, because they don't make any noise, and the less noise they make, the more likely we are to use them. Shit 'em right up. Makes it look like we're serious. Guns for show, knives for a pro.

Oh, it's everyone's favourite psycho, all tooled up for swarming enemies as part of a group. Can clue a bit through a number of events, but really, she's all about the beating the tripe out of enemies...

Really Zoey is there to soak up enemies and free up the rest of the party. Taunt and Trench Knife facilitate engagement (and that's why Safeguard (2). The Hungering Blade because... it looks interesting. Mystic events for a bit of cluing. I might consider splashing on something like Preposterous Sketches for the draw, though, to be honest.

Don't know if Beat Cop is the best choice, either. Tetsuo Mori might make a better ally, and the freed XP could go on a couple of "I've had Worse"s. Kerosene might be nice too, or even just Liquid Courage

Obviously, this might a bit fragile - too many moving parts - in which case I think Meat Cleaver might be a nice choice over Read the Signs to specialise in killing things more. And a Storm of Spirits could be a nice addition too.
