    It’s from cyberpunk:

    • solo = unaffiliated mercenary (presumably)
    • Eddies = eurodollars
    • gonk = slightly derogatory term for just some dude

    Basically the guy hired a mercenary bodyguard for cheap and the bodyguard went off the rails and tore some dude’s arms off.

    It’s relatable because this kind of thing happens all the time in cyberpunk - it might even be hinting a little at cyberpsychosis, where a person has so many cybernetic implants that they go crazy on the violence.
