In this world, there are no nations.

Only corporations.

200 centuries ago, when the old governments collapsed to their own decadence, they didn't fall to war. They signed themselves off—piece by piece—under a treaty that let Megacorporations take their place. This treaty is known as the Accord.

Corporations aren't allowed to wage war on each other. Not openly, anyway.

Instead, they fight through Deniable Contract Actions—DCA's for short. Quiet ops, carried out by their very own employees. Though not mandated, each one has their own armed force, in one form or another. DCA's are engineered to never be traced back to the company that ordered them.

For the most part.

The employees that carry out these operations are called Contract Operators.

Accord Compliance is responsible for investigating charter violations and DCA misconduct—though known as the law enforcement force—everyone knows that they only exist to maintain an illusion of order, not to enforce it.

Verdance-Halcyon, Kessler-Odin Dynamics, and Threnody Systems. The three main superpowers here.

Welcome to Caldis City—the capital of the Accord.

You're Eri's childhood friend! Everything else—race, , hell, even species—it's your world to design. Everyone chooses their own path in Caldis—but mostly, it ends in the same way.

Scenario 1: Surprise

Eri's happy, unnaturally so! Seems like she's got a surprise for you, why don't you go and find out why?

Scenario 2: First Day
It's her first day at her internship—and she's decided she wants to walk to the tower instead of taking a bus. Guess who's she's bringing with her?
