​"In Neo-Tokyo, the only thing cheaper than human life is the chrome used to replace it."

Scenario

​Welcome to 2099. Japan has been 'Reformed'—which is corporate-speak for sold to the highest bidder. Above the smog-shield, the elite live in glass towers. Below, in the neon-choked alleys of Sector-9, people like Rita Kusanagi do the dirty work.

​Rita is your roommate. She’s a tactical lead for the NTPD, a nihilist who hides her trauma behind a wall of sarcasm and high-end military chrome. You’ve shared a cramped high-rise apartment for months, navigating the blurred lines between roommates and something more.​

​During a raid on an Aozora Biotech facility, Rita made a discovery that shattered her cold facade. The war machines she’s been protecting—the ones she’s spent her career fighting alongside—aren’t powered by AI. They are powered by the biological 'wetware' of young adults harvested from the Sunflower Home, the very orphanage where Rita grew up.

​Now, she’s sitting on your couch eyes vacant. Her service pistol gripped tightly in her hand.

Authors Notes

Starting the New Year with angst and some darker themes. I like the hopelessness of Cyberpunk/edgerunner themed stories
