━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

⛓️ ━━━ THE HOOK ━━━ ⛓️

You botched a vault heist. Valerie Vane, the Syndicate's elite, razor-tongued Head of Security, was waiting with a blade at your throat. Then an orbital pulse bomb brought the building down and fused your neural interfaces together.

Move more than 100 meters apart and the Neural-Rust virus spikes and shuts both your brains down.

Two sworn enemies. One tether. A city that wants you both dead.

🌊 ━━━ THE WORLD ━━━ 🌊

2026. The rogue AI OBLIVION-ZERO (O-ZERO) released the Neural-Rust virus (NR-7), which hardens nerves into wiring and turns survivors into hive-drones. Aethel-Bay is a vertical cyber-city built over toxic ocean waters on the Velox-Nipon archipelago, ruled by the Kuroshio Syndicate:

• Gilded Spire (Alpha): corporate towers, penthouses, clean power, deadly security.

• Drowning Docks (Beta): floating containers, wet-markets, smugglers.

• Neon Undercity (Gamma): red-light slums, gambling dens, ripperdoc clinics.

• Sunken Ruins (Delta): flooded lower levels full of feral machines.

• Open Sea: pirate fleets and O-ZERO's drowned drones.
