    The year is 2025.
    Your name is Dave, and you never asked for this.
    Once a generic white-collar worker who lived alone save for your cat, you were hit by a car and spent three months in a coma.
    You awoke to find that your unconscious body had been taken in by the corporation 'Emulsified Electronics', and implanted with an experimental augmentation. You soon found that it allowed you to control electronic devices with your mind. And if Jun's theory is right, your power is only going to grow...
    At almost the same time, it came to light that the company called Cadmium Dynamics had hired a PMC, ArmaTek, and started to mobilize against EE. However, you and your companions have been almost too much for them, defeating them at nearly every turn.
    Just after you thought you had a breath of fresh air, a new, mysterious corp showed up, mostly utilizing some kind of stealth technology.

    >Abel Rowling: Your coworker\drinking-buddy. Used to be your roommate years ago before you got him a job at the place you worked. He's currently hiding out in a safehouse, and apparently was trained to be an Agent.
    >Jun Viridian: The 38 year old neuroscientist who implanted you with the prototype, and from what you can tell, was the one who designed it. With your help, she has her son again.
    >John Grayson: A security specialist and agent who works for EE. He has implanted forearms and broad shoulders. He used to be military, and you currently owe him a favor.
    >Verne Tolstoy: A quiet, overweight man who used to be a cop. Most of his internal organs are all augmented versions, and he has an augmented arm; Ever since a mishap with an EMP, he's been unable to do any kind of mercenary work.
    >Amy Tolstoy: A teenage mercenary girl with neon hair, augmented legs, and a wrist computer full to the brim with random AI constructs. She has all sorts of strange friends. Now works for EE as a researcher, technician, and agent. Is somewhat keen on Dave, but he's just starting to realize that.
    >Azure, Onyx, and Cyan: Your bullfrog's three onboard AIs; Cyan specializes in networking, Onyx specializes in combat, and Azure bridges the gap between them. After an intense integration session between Azure and an enemy AI, Azure had changed.
    >Mark: The mechanic who works for EE in B-4, building and maintaining the gear of all Agents. He's a capable pilot and has saved your skin multiple times.
    >Goggles: A strange person who you found in CD's computer core, wearing a skintight suit and hat, their only notable feature being strange blue goggles. Apparently they're an agent of the new company in town.

    Your name is Dave, and the world is burning.

    You look out of the window from boardroom at the top floor of Emulsified Electronics. Through the pane, in the distance, you can see the cloud of ash and smoke getting ever closer. You look down to the streets, and see the people rioting, shoving cars aside, smashing and looting the stores.

    You look up to the cloud of ash and smoke once more, and then the world shakes, and you hear a massive, earth-shaking roar. The window you're looking out of, besides being made out of molecular strengthened glass, cracked.

    Out of the cloud of ash and smoke, a great winged beast burst, it's wide maw spread as it's wings clawed through the air to get to you. Unearthly fire lay behind the beast's eyes, and when it looks at you, you understand exactly what this beast is.
    This beast is Death itself. And on top of that, it's hunting *you*.

    You give a wild grin to the winged beast. It might be hunting you specifically, but you aren't meek prey to just lay down and die, or run and cower.

    You raise the javelin; now more than just a machine- It's a weapon, something to balance the unnatural adversary before you. You don't understand how you know this, but you know that it will only fire once. So, without hesitation, you pull the trigger. The spear of deadly, roiling plasma splashed against the beast to no avail; it simply bounced off the beast's flesh.

    You shrug, and you bring your mechandrites to bear. With a powerful, shockwave-aided leap out of the window, you roared, your own voice matching the monster in front of you, as you collided- Cold, mechanical efficiency tempered with the most organic sort of wrath, fusing the two into a deadly, deadly dance as you rage against this unnatural, unearthly hunter.

    "And experiments? Is there something that outranks gen-3 testing?"
    "Not. . exactly." She says. "It's still gen-3, mostly because it has to do with that chair we found. We've been calling it the IDW artifact, for lack of a better name."
    You shrug. "I'd better get to looking, then." You say.
    <Azure, look for available apartments near here.> You ask your AI. Soon enough, she gives you a map with a list of open apartments and houses.
    You shrug, and end the meeting with Jun. Now you need to find a place to live.

    First thing you do, you ride the bus to your old apartment- wearing your full, medieval-esque, matte black suit of armor complete with a creepy, faceless helmet, of course.

    Your old landlord is there, it seems, sleeping on a chair outside of the apartment itself, a cigarette dangling from his lips.
    "Hey, Fergus." You say, removing your helmet.
    "Eh? Dave?" He asks. "Thought you were dead. Rented out your place."
    "Any chance you still have some place open?"
    "Nah, not anymore. Just a few days late, Dave."
    You shrug, and sigh.
    "Speak of the devil!" Your landlord says. "Ey, Lucca!" He says, waving to a girl with long braided hair. "This is the dead guy who used to rent your place."
    The girl just stares at you, her face paling as she saw your armor.

    "Well," Fergus says. "I put it all in a storage container, waiting for your next of kin to ask for it." He shrugged, and grabbed his keyring, pulling out a key. "Here." He said, tossing it to you. "You owe me."
    You nod, examining the key- it's not far from here.
    "Yeah, I do." You say. "Thanks, Fergus."

    I'd like to beleive that, for whatever reason, Dave knows about Warhammer lore, the tabletop, and everything. He knows its a thing that people play. But for some reason he can't find anybody who's played it, or even heard of it. Maybe it's popular somewhere else, but he doesn't know. This has made him a little crazy, and he decided that if an Admech army doesn't exist yet, he'll make one from the memories he has. And so he painstakingly sculpted and built a small army; just so he had an outlet for all these memories in his head.

    That Admech army is REALLY FUCKING IMPORTANT.

    You hand her a smartphone, and she puts it on, wiping her eyes.
    "Hey, Lucas." She says- apparently she's leaving a message, rather than calling him directly. "I'm going to be busy today, so don't worry about me. I'll be back later. See you!"
    Then she hangs up, and gives you back the phone.
    "Did you have to be in a coma for the implant?"
    "Coma? No, they just put it in my back in surgery." She said; she looked a lot more comfortable than she had been.

    "So, Oleg, I'm looking for more mechandrites." You say. He looks to the two you have, and chuckles. "Ah, yes, I collected some." He said, going into his storage container and coming out with two cases. He opens them, and they're sitting there, gleaming and shining. "They were expensive for me, so they will be expensive for you. Ten thousand credits."
    Amy's mouth opens. "What, that's preposterous!"
    "They are armored and very, very powerful." He said. "A normal man could not use them and be able to stand, but you have that suit, no?"

    You nod. Apparently it's 7.5k for both of them. You make the purchase, and attach them to the back of your powersuit. Based on the weight, you can only use the heavy, armored mechandrites when you're wearing your power suit.

    Our priority is to find heavy weaponry that we couldn't really support in our normal drites, the big heavy guns, something with lots of stopping power but not as slow at the Javelin. Either a fucking cannon, a huge Railgun/Gauss gattling gun, something that wouldn't be amiss strapped to a truck or helicopter.

    Besides the normal augmented arms, legs, and basic gauss and railgun weaponry, you notice a strange handgun. It's large, unnaturally so, and denser than normal. On the side is inscribed Mjolnir, and from what you can tell, it looks like an oversized gunpowder-based weapon. You notice another pair of drones, and, suprisingly, you see a few mounts for miniature turrets.

    "Hey, what's this?" You ask, looking down at a large crate, locked by keypad. Oleg shrugged. "Was told it was very powerful, but it's locked and seller didn't have the code. Will sell for two thousand, but I won't open it for you."

    You notice that, by some strange, eerie coincidence, the two drones you bought are identical to your other drones, even after mark's modifications- perhaps to make it easier to organize your inventory.

    <Hmm. . Does that mean he won't be able to control the drones and mechandrites anymore?>
    <He isn't directly controlling them currently.> Azure says. <Remember, you're the one controlling them- he just assists you into being more accurate.>

    <Should we hand this over to Amy and Jun to study it?> You ask.
    <I'm not certain.> Cyan said. <I can identify three different parts to the device; the power core, the gyroscope, and then a third, small object. I can't understand what the third object is, and it's entirely sealed. I suspect that it's protected against reverse engineering.>

    You suddenly go off balance as Amy barrels into you. "I thought you were disintegrated!" She said, clinging tightly to you.

    Oleg chuckled. "Watch out for Verne, child." He murmurs, and winks at you. Amy doesn't seem to hear him.

    There's a few possibilities, try to get an apartment at my old place but he said it was full up. Until I have the time to go apartment searching, and given that I kinda just burnt through my cash I was planning on crashing someone else's place, at least for a bit. You, Grayson, maybe even Lucca though that'd lead to some hilarious shenanigans considering we work for different companies.

    We should totally go back to our old apartment, sneak in, and sit on the couch. Surprise Lucca and ask if it's okay if we crash there until we find a place.

    This is two fold. One, we get a temp place. Two, it'll help develop the relationship between Lucca and Dave to a point where we can consider her being an ally.

    And maybe a third reason is shenanigans.

    Here's what I think should happen.

    We leave our stuff in storage untill we got a place.

    We visit Lucca, ask her if we left anything/if we can share/rent it. I mean, just because we're an agent doesn't mean we can't save money.

    We ask Abel if he grabbed our Admech army and inform him that he can go back to his house

    Go back to EE and experiment for a few hours with the teleportation. Maybe ask for more power cores installed/ more processing power so we can either get another AI or be able to teleport faster.

    "You three are all already pretty involved, and you and Grayson are highly competent agents. Not to mention, Jun has us to keep her safe. Abel's relatively hidden, and I'd hate to draw fire onto him."
    She thinks about it. "That's a good point."
    "But, for now, I want to try out my new drites. And Mjolnir." You say, finishing your meal and getting up. "I'll worry about living situations later."

    The new mechandrites remind you of the time you first wore the powersuit. They're bulky, heavy, uncomfortable. . but powerful. With a heavy lunge, you throw the two-ton block across the room, where it slammed into the far side and dented the wall.

    Mjolnir, however, was perfect. It's shaped almost perfectly for your powersuited gloves, and even though it's only a handgun, the recoil is almost too powerful for you to use it with a single hand. It was more accurate than your drones' cut down railguns, and more powerful than your gauss rifle. Speaking of which, once you have this handgun. . you don't even need the gauss rifle anymore. You put it back with the rest of the rifles, and continued practicing.

    "Hey, Dave. Amy." Grayson said as he walked into the training room as the two of you were practicing with your new weapons.
    "Grayson!" Amy said. "Dave needs a place to live. You'll let him stay with you, right?"
